Skill charger

"This item, the skill charger, will charge up your skill meter. Let's try it out. First, match three pieces of the same color."

- Dr. Toad

Skill chargers are power-up items in Dr. Mario World. Represented by an energy drink, if obtained by matching at least two capsules the same color as it, they grant doctors 60 SP filled in their skill meter. Many of the doctors' skills are lower than this amount so it would be fully charged for them, with some exceptions including Dr. Bowser (85 SP at level 1, 69 SP at max level) and Dr. Dry Bowser (100 SP at level 1, 76 SP at max level).

It is related to the Skill Up, which grants a fully charged doctor ability on the stage and the Skill filler, where it can fully charge doctor abilities if players choose to use it. Some assistants can turn viruses into skill chargers at the stage start, most notably Honey Queen (both stage and VS) and Wiggler (stage mode only).
