I feel like this game is a metaphor for someone getting progressively sicker and so they keep taking more pills but it's never enough, the germs always win and he is simply prolonging the inevitability of death. Even in the endgame credits the germs stand triumphant atop the tree that was planted on Dr. Mario's grave to commemorate his memory

[@umageddon]

Agghh 😂

[@pluvius9265]

And then the aliens come to harvest the biological weapon we naively perfected for them.

[@AlexReynard]

"Kids, could you lighten up a little?"

[@Fershizzal]

And in the end it wasnt the germs that finished you, it was the hospital bill

[@InvyVOD]

He was poppin them things 4 per second.

[@-Ryu]

I love how the Pills keep spinning as if the TAS is actually Trying to emulate a more logical take on Dr. Mario's Throwing Animation.

[@LaskyLabs]

I thought they were just showing off. Typical TAS thing.

[@tolstartheking]

@@LaskyLabs I’ve seen Nsmb DS runs where Mario’s jumps sync with the music and he wall jumps like crazy on vertical snake block levels, so the person who made the TAS is clearly showing off.

[@jordygarcia3119]

That level 3 clear was insane

[@IvanFranco120]

🤯

[@esmooth919]

I did not see that coming!

[@chriswinkler284]

I remember the Game Boy version of this. My friend from childhood had this and Super Mario Land. Good times, great TAS =)

[@InvyVOD]

2:01 Once you get a big enough combo (14) the game can't handle it and it overloads, killing all the viruses and skyrocketing your score. Pill orientation also matters. It's sort of like an Arbitrary Code Execution but it's just a limitation with the software, rather than a flaw in the codewriting that allows you to realign code. That may be slightly incorrect, as it could also happen because all the viruses are stunned (bottom-left) simultaneously, because it lags for one frame as the last one is stunned, which could also be caused by overload, you'll have to see every single time this glitch is used. Or it takes both of these to glitch the software out like that...

[@TheRealHedgehogSonic]

The last few levels had me wheezing!

[@galloe8933]

So I see you made your Dr.Mario TAS out of pure unrefined swag.

[@wagnerramosmidichannelabso514]

Final score, excluding restarts: 27.010.800 points!

[@FranzFerdinand76]

Can someone explain how most of them disappear at once.

[@Shapeshifter-of-Names]

Combo?

[@JcDizon]

Maybe the game isn’t meant to have a lot of combos and can’t handle it so everything just disappears.

[@llVIU]

i assume if you "stun" the red, yellow and blue at the same time, they you auto win. Notice on the left side how they get stunned every time you kill any 1 red, blue or yellow.

[@iankeith]

It's a glitch that occurs when you clear too many viruses in one combo; 14 of them, with the right kind of clear (I believe the pill's orientation matters here!), and the game freaks out, clears everything, and awards a bonkers number of points.

[@CoopersCrazy]

This TAS is abusing a glitch where making too big of a combo can cause the game to malfunction or even crash. The routine that erases the viruses underflows the point multiplier table which it uses as an indicator of when to stop looping, which causes it to run 255 times and massively increase your score. It also ends up accepting controller inputs when it shouldn't and those end up getting the loop stuck because the controller polling routine and the virus erase routine share temporary variables, including the loop counter. Using specific inputs on controller 2, you can get the loop to exit, and since it's run many more times than it was supposed to, all the viruses on the board have been deleted and you get to proceed to the next level.

[@JoLiKMC]

And, this is why ya don't mess with Dr. Mario™. _He's a Carpathian War Wizard with a PhD._

[@llVIU]

so if you kill any red, blue and yellow at the same time, then i guess everything else gets killed as well? like a 3 hit combo

[@llVIU]

I don't understand how at the end of the level everything just dies...

[@InvyVOD]

Same here, they didn't even get matched.

[@rainlion10]

Apparently, there's this thing called a "Remove Glitch" where when many viruses are deleted in one chain, it deletes *all* of them. It can be caused with 2p

[@diegoaguilar1954]

What is the trick behind eliminating all viruses instantly?

[@solarflare9078]

Check the author comments about it here tasvideos.org/6518S.html Basically, it has to do with player 2 inputs, score, and how you eliminate the viruses.

[@id_raka]

When all the virus indicator on the left side are damaged, it will end the level?

[@Rigby545]

I noticed that it always seems to clear when you get a drop that clears 7 rows.

1:08 Why all of them died? The yellow guys on the left side have no pills on them....

[@psykauze]

This a bug in the Dr Mario game When the player make a combo of 14 viruses kill, the game kills all the viruses and freezes. The player has to press a button on the second player gamepad for "unfreezing" the game.

[@jkadoodle]

Is there a tas where they don’t glitch out each stage? That would be more fun to watch

[@Koopary]

There's a TAS of Dr. Mario from Nintendo Puzzle Collection (basically the same version as Dr. Mario 64) by one of the same authors of this TAS (inari) that can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnfInGh3mqalesk NPC Dr. Mario does not have the "remove" glitch, so the levels are each played out normally.

It's a glitch with how the game processes virus combos (that affect score)
