Trivia

 * The old international logo for the series, used from Dr. Mario to Dr. Mario Express in North America, stylized the "R" in "Dr." as "℞". This is in reference to a common abbreviation for a medical prescription (given that Mario is a doctor in this series), with the R crossed out being an abbreviation for Recipere (Latin for "Take thou"). Similarly, Dr. Mario Online Rx has the "Rx" stylized as "℞", but not the "R" in "Dr."
