Dr. Mario (NES Classics series)

A classic puzzle game on the go

Dr. Mario (NES Classics series) for the Game Boy Advance, released in 2004, brings the beloved puzzle game to a portable format, allowing fans to enjoy the challenge of curing viruses wherever they go. Originally released in 1990 for the NES, Dr. Mario introduced players to the concept of aligning coloured capsules to eliminate viruses. The Game Boy Advance version stays faithful to the original, offering the same addictive puzzle mechanics that have made the game a fan favourite.

Engaging and strategic gameplay

In Dr. Mario, players take on the role of Mario, who now works as a doctor trying to rid the world of colourful viruses. The objective is to match the coloured capsules with viruses of the same colour to clear them from the screen. The gameplay is easy to understand but increasingly difficult as the levels progress, with the addition of faster falling capsules and more viruses to clear. The challenge lies in planning ahead and arranging the capsules in the most efficient way possible, making for a game that is both relaxing and mentally stimulating.

A portable version of a puzzle classic

The Game Boy Advance version of Dr. Mario offers the same enjoyable puzzle experience as the NES original but with the added benefit of portability. The simple controls make it easy to jump in and play, while the addictive nature of the game keeps players coming back for more. With its familiar gameplay and compact size, Dr. Mario (NES Classics series) on the Game Boy Advance is a perfect fit for quick puzzle sessions during travel or downtime. Its inclusion in the NES Classics series helps preserve its place in gaming history, ensuring new generations of players can experience the fun of Dr. Mario’s virus-busting challenges.
