Dr. Mario Online Rx |
Dr. Mario Online Rx (or Dr. Mario & Germ Buster in Europe and Australia) is a WiiWare puzzle game released by Nintendo in 2008. It is the fourth installment in the Dr. Mario series.
The gameplay consists of two modes: Dr. Mario and Virus Buster. The gameplay of Dr. Mario is consistent from past entries in the series, in which the player has to line multicolored Megavitamins being thrown by Dr. Mario or the player's Mii up with similarly colored Viruses in order to destroy them. Clearing all of the Viruses clears the stage and allows the player to advance to a higher difficulty. The Flash mode involves destroying a number of flashing Viruses in order to advance. The Vs. Mode is similar to past Vs. Modes in the series; two or more players will try to clear all of their Viruses before their opponent, and chaining cleared lines drops random assorted Megavitamins on the opponent's screen. This game also features a Vs. CPU mode.
Virus/Germ Buster mode involves using the Wii Remote cursor to select and place Megavitamins to line up with viruses in a smaller playing field. Mii doctors selected from the Mii Channel are used as a gauge next to the playing field, combating a Virus stampede. If the player does well, the Miis will advance away from the playing field, but if the player does poorly, the Miis will be pushed back.
The Mii doctors' ties and pants are determined by their favorite colors. Notably, the Miis are not shaded as detailed as in the Mii Maker, and do not have a shine applied to them.
