The game was later released on the [[VS. System]] under the name '''''VS. Dr. Mario'''''. Players can spend only 20 seconds on the settings menu. This version drops the Slow speed and renames the Medium speed to Normal. Normal speed has a grey background while High is now purple. There is no option to turn off the music.

The scoring system is also less generous. In the NES version, the first virus killed by a vitamin capsule yields 200 points (on Medium speed), the second 400, the third 800, the fourth 1600, so each virus is worth twice as much as the last. In the VS. version, the first virus is worth 200, then 400, then 600, then 800, so a virus is worth only 200 points more, and not twice as many points, as the previous virus.
