Dr. Mario Express
Template:Infobox 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. "A little bit of Dr. Mario") in Japan, is a puzzle 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.
Gameplay
It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
The main plot of the 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 Tetris. 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 taking a rest 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.
