Mario and Dr. Mario: Same guy?
Do we know Dr. Mario is just Mario wearing a doctor suit? Maybe we do, just want to make sure.
 * I'm pretty sure... I think this was directly stated in a Nintendo Comics System comic, and then there's the whole thing about Mario and Dr. Mario never showing up at the same time and all of that. 11:45, 3 February 2008 (EST)

That's true. Just seems a bit un-Mario-ish for him to be working as a doctor. But, maybe...
 * "The Doctor is in... Over his Head" we have a plot synopsis for it if you want to look. 17:47, 3 February 2008 (EST)

Yes, he is the same guy. The following is an excerpt from the Dr. Mario NES manual (p. 3): "Hi everybody! I'm Mario. How's it going? Over the last few years, I've been involved in some pretty wild adventures. Now, believe it or not, I work in the virus research lab at the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital. Today I'm about to begin my research as usual." Just wanted to note that. 14:20, 4 February 2008 (EST)
 * Cool. So he's the same guy in multiple mediums.  Thanks!  16:54, 4 February 2008 (EST)

gallery
should we create a gallery for dr.mario?

Merging
Should we just add this to the Mario article? IT IS THE SAME GUY! User:Mario freak

I agree on that.
 * No. Dr. Mario, despite being just an alter-ego, has his own large series and even was playable in one game. We even have a Featured Article that is about an alter-ego and stated alter-ego only appeared in one episode of the cartoon! 21:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Create a TPP about this subject, I would support it. Oh BTW MCD, Robo Koopa got merged

Skin Color
I noticed that in SSBM he has a darker skin color.
 * So does Mario, and lots of other subjects look different than their core franchise depictions too. It's just a style thing. - 13:15, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Ssbm art
The ssbm art of him should be added for his "Newer" look. --Goombob XD (talk) 18:51, 14 May 2013 (EDT)Goombob (I had to edit I forgot my signiture ;))
 * It should stay the way it is since it's a relatively modern picture of him, and the game it's from came after Super Smash Bros. Melee. Plus, it illustrates him better (the one from Super Smash Bros. Melee has a background). 20:38, 14 May 2013 (EDT)
