Dr. Mario Express, known as A Little Bit of... Dr. Mario in PAL regions and as Chotto Dr. Mario (ちょっとDr. MARIO, lit. "Just a little Dr. Mario") in Japan, is a game released on DSiWare for the Nintendo DSi for 500 DSi points. This game has the same design as Dr. Mario & Germ Buster, but unlike the Wii version, it does not offer a multiplayer mode or feature the Virus Buster mini-game (which can be found as part of the DSiWare games of its original parent series, Brain Age Express, instead). 3-D objects are cell-shaded in this game.

Dr. Mario is back, to cure your puzzle fever! A Little Bit of… Dr. Mario brings you this classic game in an easy-to-digest portable form for your Nintendo DSi! Enjoy the original inspiration for Germ Buster (as seen in More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima). Simply defeat all the viruses in the bottle by lining up coloured capsules that match the colour of the viruses. Watch out, because if the bottle fills to the brim with capsules, it’s Game Over! Choose Classic Mode to play solo, or battle against the computer in Vs CPU Mode in a race to clear all the viruses first. You can also set the number of viruses and game speed, to tune the difficulty level to your liking. Please note that elements of this software may have been featured in previously released software.
[edit] GamePlay
The main plot of Dr Mario games is to get rid of the germs that infect a person's body. Dr Mario throws in pills and tries to line them up like tetris. After getting 4 pills that are the same color as the virus (or pills) a lined, the virus will be defeated.
[edit] Trivia
- This is the first DSiWare game to include Mario as the main character.
- When the player beats level 5, 10, 15 or 20, he/she will see a picture of Dr. Mario sleeping under a tree.
