Dr. Mario is one of Mario's many personas, particularly when he works as a doctor. He debuted in Dr. Mario on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and has since become the titular star of his own series. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Dr. Mario is a separate character from Mario, particularly within installments featuring him as playable.
