Of course, Wario just wants to get rich, but what's the story with Mad Scienstein? The intrigue doesn't end there! To get to the bottom of things, you'll face fast-and-furious action as all sorts of villainous types scramble to get their hands on Dr. Mario's Megavitamins. You'll need to defeat each opponent to progress, and to win, you'll need to clear your screen before your opponent clears theirs—or force them to retire by filling their screen with garbage. You can also test your mettle against computer-controlled characters, or up to three friends! Challenge them to match you vitamin-for-vitamin in Flash, Marathon, and Score Attack modes. Let those capsules fly! | |
