[Important] Details on current issues
2020.11.09
Updated as of: 11/8/2020 10:00 p.m. (PST)
Thank you for playing the Dr. Mario World game.
The following issues have been identified. We are either investigating the cause or are in the process of resolving them. We plan to fix them in an upcoming update, and we appreciate your patience.
Confirmed Issues
・The stage mode skills of some assistants are calculated incorrectly.
・Even though a Capsule Plus that's inside of a barrel is eliminated using Dr. Lemmy's skill, only one capsule is added to the number of remaining capsules.
・In versus mode, there are times that battles suddenly end in a loss.
・In versus mode, there are times that new viruses won't appear even though all viruses have been eliminated.
The following issues have been resolved.
Resolved Issues ・If you only have your second slot equipped with an assistant when you clear a stage, “error code: 1999” might be displayed, resulting in the stage not being cleared.
・For items in the shop, performing the following actions on devices running iOS 14 will cause the application to shut down:
Disconnecting during the purchase process
Canceling a purchase
・When you attend a Skill Summit, the image of the mentor doctor might not be displayed correctly.
・Kudos earned in Skill Summit might not be displayed correctly.
Note: We have sent a gift to the doc boxes of players who encountered this issue.
We hope you continue to enjoy Dr. Mario World.

In Skill Summit, summits come in four different difficulty levels.
Only specific doctors can attend summits in the Special category.

What is Versus Mode?
In versus mode, you can compete against friends and players from near and far at any time.
You can earn coins when you win a battle.
You can earn coins up to 20 times every 24 hours (between 10:00 p.m. and 9:59 p.m.)
The Versus Mode Screen
1. Battle Box
You can select up to three out of nine battle boxes to obtain a reward. There are even some assistants you can only get from battle boxes!
2. Battle points
Your battle points will increase when you win in versus mode, and they will decrease when you lose. You are more likely to match with someone whose battle points are close to yours. Note: You will not gain or lose battle points when playing against friends.
3. Tiers
The tier you belong to will change based on your battle points. Also, the first time you reach a new tier, you will be able to obtain the tier bonus for that tier. The following changes also apply based on your tier:
Basic Rules
By eliminating viruses, you can attack your opponent by sending viruses into their stage. If viruses or capsules pass the bottom line on your opponent's area, then you win. Attack as much as you can to gain the advantage!
Important Points
1. Stages shrink over time
After a certain amount of time, blocks that cannot be eliminated appear at the top of the stage, and the stage gradually gets smaller.
2. Eliminate all viruses
If you eliminate all viruses in your stage, three rows will be added to both you and your opponent's stages. Your opponent's attack meter will also be reduced to zero.
Doctor Stats
Attack:
This is the number of rows of viruses sent to your opponent when the attack meter at the top of the screen fills and you attack. Each character has an attack stat between one and four.
Speed:
This is how fast your attack meter fills.
Defense:
This is your chance of defending against your opponent's attacks based on their attack stat.
Skills:
You can activate these after eliminating a certain number of viruses.
Example:
Dr. Mario: Attack (2)
Attacks the opponent with two rows when the attack meter fills.
Dr. Bowser: Defense (2) 40%
Has a 40% chance of blocking Dr. Mario's attack (2).
Note: You can check character stats by tapping the character on the versus mode screen.
Tips
1. Eliminate from below as quick as you can!
If you hesitate, the number of viruses will just keep increasing. Prioritize eliminating the viruses closest to the bottom line.
2. Timing your skills
The timing for using skills is crucial. Watch closely for the best timing to use your skill to eliminate all viruses, or interfere with your opponent immediately after sending viruses their way.
3. Character compatibility
The combination of doctor and assistant is also very important. Try various combinations and find a strategy that works for you.
Rule Review
Did you know that you can view tutorials as many times as you want?
If you want to brush up on the basic rules or learn more about the nuances of virus-busting, revisit tutorials by navigating to:
Settings > Tutorials
Fill Every Space
In this game, if there's enough empty space, you can move your capsule through blocks and other capsules to fill it! If you push up a capsule against a block for a brief moment, you can slip right through.
Staffing
Doctors have skills that you activate with the press of a button. Assistants have effects too! They fire off at random. You can acquire doctors and assistants via the staffing menu.
How to Get Coins
Clear Stages
When you clear a stage you earn coins based on how many clear stars you earned. You'll earn coins for each clear star, so aim to get all three clear stars! You'll also get coins as a reward when you clear an area, so don't fret.
Daily Gift
One daily gift can be redeemed for free every day at the shop. You can get coins, items, diamonds, and more, so be sure to check the shop every day if you can!
Doctor's Orders
Check the doctor's orders screen in stage mode and you can see what specific conditions are available for you to complete! By completing doctor's orders you can earn in-game rewards.
Battle Boxes
When you go up against someone in versus mode, you can get a key. If you collect enough keys, you can open up a battle box and receive in-game rewards, including coins. As you go up in tiers, the contents of these battle boxes will get better and better!
Medals Galore
There are many way to earn medals, including in-game events, increasing tiers in versus mode, clearing special stages, and more. You can equip a medal from the profile screen, so if you get one feel free to show it off!
Here are some tips to help you defeat viruses and save Dr. Mario's world!
Strengthening Characters
If you get a character you already have via staffing, it will increase that character's skill level.
As their skill level increases, their skills will improve! For example, a doctor's skill meter may fill faster, or an assistant's skill may activate more often.
Battle Box Characters
There are characters you can only get from the battle boxes you receive in versus mode.
You can't get them from staffing, so play versus mode to get these characters!
Advanced Techniques
Here are some advanced techniques to help you show those meddlesome virus who's boss!
Put Multiple Capsules in Play!
Did you know that more than one capsule can be put into play at once? When you pull a capsule into the play field, you can immediately pull out another. This way you can move them around freely or clear multiple locations at the same time.
Go for a High Score
You can increase your score by eliminating multiple viruses with one capsule. The rainbow capsule, which can match with viruses and capsules of any color, can help maximize your score!
Tips for Eliminating Viruses
You can eliminate viruses both horizontally and vertically, but you can actually eliminate even more by combining the two directions. Here's a few practical ways to eliminate viruses:
Eliminate in an L-shape
Eliminate in a T-shape
Eliminate in a Cross Shape
