Dr. Mario Express

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 and the fifth main installment in the Dr. Mario series. This game has the same design as Dr. Mario Online Rx, but unlike the WiiWare 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 cel shaded in this game.

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. After getting 4 pills that are the same color as the virus (or pills) a lined, the virus will be defeated.

Trivia

 * When the player beats level 5, 10, 15, or 20, they will see a picture of Dr. Mario sleeping under a tree. The number of viruses on top of the tree and the time of day depends on the speed and level the player plays at.
