Dr. Mario's artwork from Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure.
Dr. Mario is one of Mario's personas within the Dr. Mario series.
Origin[]
Under this identity, Mario dons a lab coat, a head mirror, and a stethoscope around his neck. Debuting in his eponymous game, Dr. Mario and his assistant Nurse Toadstool work at the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital, where he eliminates viruses and other diseases by using capsules, a premise that has been the standard for subsequent games starring him.
Since then, many other characters from the Mario series, such as Luigi and Bowser would take on the role of a doctor, helping Dr. Mario cure many patients of the viruses.
In Crusade[]

Dr. Mario was first added to the playable cast in v0.9.1 of Super Smash Bros. Crusade. As in the Smash Bros. series, not only he is a full clone of Mario, but also retains his moveset from the official games.
