What's the Difference between Mario and Dr. Mario? (SSBU)

Dr. Mario isn't considered an echo fighter of Mario in Smash Bros. Ultimate - why is that?
That's what I'm going to explore in this video.

I’d change Doc’s final smash to be similar to Ness/Lucas’s final smash, just instead of raining PK Starstorm shots it’s raining large multicolored pills. I would make it a controllable final smash where you could choose where you want to drop the pills. But if I want to keep Final Smashes the way they are in Ultimate, which is fast and to the point ( which still doesn’t explain why Peach’s final smash is still the same! This goes for Daisy as well ), this is an ok compromise. Besides, in the Dr.Mario games he drops the pills from the TOP of the screen.

[@jimbomusics]

i would change all other player's character to one certain color and have their color come from all directions and have their attacks be weaker and some not work because it takes away body parts considering on position

[@janehuskmann1914]

If I was redesigning Doc's, it'd suck enemies trapped in the attack towards the middle, deal less damage per-hit, and at the end, delivers a nasty hitbox that deals great damage & knockback.

I'd make it so that doc rushes forward and slaps any foes he touches into the bottle thingy that he throws pills in to get rid of viruses. Then he would pile in a bunch of viruses and pills until the whole thing explodes into a colorful mess.

What is a nair

[@J.C.Russell_96]

Ultra Vulpix In Smash lingo, it’s short for neutral aerial. It’s the attack you get when your character is the air and you press the primary attack button without tilting the control stick at all. If your stick is tilted down, you get a downward aerial or “dair.” If it’s tilted the direction your character is facing, you get a forward aerial or “fair,” so on and so forth.

Dr Mario: 40+ spots below Mario in ground speed Alex: "it isn't a huge difference..."

[@ComradeVenus]

The main reason Dr mario is that low is because of his horrible recovery. Because of his low jumps, slower air speed, and the less distance traveled with his up special, he can almost never make it back to the stage, gimping him is extremely easy. This is even WITH doc's down special, which regular mario doesnt have. If doc could actually recover, he would be instantly much higher on the tier list and could actually rival mario.

I like how they kept Mario’s original down special and made it to a attack, I wish they did the same for Charizard and allow him to keep Rock Smash in his arsenal.

[@DracoX-hz3tu]

Mario's final smash could totally be him bringing the opponent into the bowser in the sky arena and doing the iconic bomb throw

[@rudeonion2816]

Doctor Mario’s Nair is stronger at the END of the attack, while Mario’s Nair is stronger at the start

[@daffyfable1983]

Dr Mario’s various phd’s are weighing him down.

[@davidthecommenter]

also his incredible pill storage inside that coat

[@daffyfable1983]

dAvId rObInSoN Let’s also not forget his stethoscope.

I think that Doc is perfect like this but about the Fs I think it would've be a cinematic one, which he would launch the opponent on the stage of the first game of him, then a lot of viruses would damage the opponent, while Doc would make a "Special Pill" (from the 3Ds game) that will kill the viruses and launch the opponent far away because of the xplosion. Well thanx if you had the patience and creativity to read this and imagine the FS.

[@smdickinson8316]

Mario's back throw also has a hit box. So when you grab someone and swing them around it can hit other players or hit nana for ice climbers. It's good for not getting punished. Doc's doesn't hit anyone when he picks them up, but the animation looks a bit faster

[@alstongoodwin5869]

Change DR.M Up B (😥😌Y is his recovery so bad?)

[@RacingSnails64]

Alston Maturino best we can do currently is repeatedly tap his down b first to get some extra air before using up b

[@N12015]

@@RacingSnails64 The ending lag in Down B is pretty high, so high that is almost useless for recovery.

[@alstongoodwin5869]

If he could instead get a Luigi recovery and a Mario multi hit instead of vice versa

[@roboticjo2183]

Luigi's recovery is also pretty bad though. I'd honestly just change the distance he travels, as his Up B is amazing to kill (especially out of shield)

[@alstongoodwin5869]

Still tho, its higher than his and Mario's recovery

[@CrisWas_Taken]

FF: Docs tornado has armor during start up(only on the ground) just letting y’all know Doc main btw

[@ThundagaT2]

I would change Doc's final smash into a cutscene where he traps the opponents in a bottle, and then plays Dr Mario with them complete with the viruses showing up.

[@luqmancassim3214]

I think doc's fs should be some attack where everyone within a certain distance gets trapped in a pill, it does a bunch of damage, and if they are at a certain percent, they just die (like ridley's)

[@stalebaguette5091]

The difference you may ask, I have 2 words for you *DOWNWARD AIREAL!*

[@CalamityTerra]

*DOWNWARD SPECIAL*

[@jameswright1351]

BACK THROW

[@stalebaguette5091]

*FOWARD AIR*

[@jaidenester8714]

The nairs have a slight difference, actually. Mario’s nair is most powerful when starting the attack, while Doc’s gets stronger towards the end of the move. Their side specials also have different hitboxes, with Doc’s being a little taller, but shorter in length.

[@dylanr.7760]

Now doc’s down-tilt has more combo potential! It’s pretty wacky!

[@1cheezyboi31]

I'd change Dr. Mario's final smash to the jar and him dropping in pills

[@Kenny-qz2jh]

As a doctor mario main it's amazing to have finally learned how to use the doctor tornado to recover correctly xP

[@soapypringles]

Doc's final smash should just be him diagnosing the opponents with the dead.

[@sans7052]

This video actually convinced me that Mario and Doc are much more similar than i thought... XD

[@Nick-ly4gv]

I remember that Nintendo itself say that the black costume Doc is a "Unlicensed Doctor"

[@SuperExtremeCartoonFan]

Mario is faster and Dr. Mario is slower nice video. Also would you mind do “ Who can reach Lucario’s chocolate?!” video next please?

[@raugustin9554]

Cool tune at the ending...

[@inpacor5332]

Mario: Who are you? Dr. Mario: I'm you but stronger

[@victoriafisher2218]

6:07 Different Final Smashes: Mario- Mega Mario. Mario turns into mega mario. It's basically Pacman's final smash but with a bigger hitbox and can only go horizontally up to 45 degrees up or down. Dr. Mario- Puzzle Doctor Doc throws pills into the air and they all come crashing down like in his original puzzle games. He also takes a stance like in his puzzle games and stands still until the final smash is over. Edit: the pills would fall slightly closer to opponents. If the opponents are really far apart from each other, the pills will fall far away from each other as well. (The pills would fall from the top of the screen btw)

[@DoubleCFiend]

[Tests all the grounded attacks for differences in damage, sweetspots, knockback, etc.] "Their neutral air seems to be pretty much the same" [Casually ignores one of the most notorious distinctions that Dr. Mario has had since Melee]

[@Minetic]

Well one is a doctor while the other is a hotel manager, demolition man, teacher, farmer, cat, kart driver, turtle Slayer, and I guess plumber but that last one has yet to be confirmed.

[@drspylol]

An idea for Doc's Final Smash. He transformes into Pixel Dr.Mario and throws pills from above onto the enemies that he can controll. Just like in the Dr.Mario games

[@XStiK_]

Dr. Mario’s final smash should’ve been a cutscene where he takes out a jar and captures whoever is next to him and then the person gets attacked by viruses in the jar while getting damaged by falling pills and then gets squashed by a giant pill at the end along with the viruses
