[edit] double articles
what a mess, there is a dr. mario article, which is more a series article, the is a sdr mario (video game) article and the template doesn't contain half of the games like dr. wario... Romanista 09:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Splitting article off
I somewhat have a problem with A link to the past removing much of this content..I think it should be split into multiple articles
- Dr. Mario (the character and such)
- Dr. Mario Series.
- Dr. Mario NES (which would cover all the clones)
- Dr. Mario 64
If we dont proceed with this then the older revision should be reverted -- larsinio (talk)
- Then PROCEED with it. This content will not be here when those articles are made. - A Link to the Past (talk) 19:51, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The patent
Hey, the patent says that the random number data is stored in the ROM. Wouldn't that mean that Dr. Mario clones that generate random number data without using a ROM (for example, on computers or CD-ROM-based consoles) not fall under the patent? Heck, if it turns out that Dr. Mario doesn't actually store random numbers in the ROM but instead uses a normal random number generator, it might not even be under its own patent! - furrykef (Talk at me) 21:11, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Release History
Is that really an incomplete list? Should the tag be removed now? I certaintly haven't heard of any more Dr. Mario games than that, unless you include Smash Bros. Melee, which isn't REALLY a Dr. Mario game. Fieari 19:51, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- Not anymore. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:42, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dr. Mario 64 etc.
Honestly, this should be about the original game, Dr. Mario, and any information on the character be moved to Mario. Dr. Mario 64 is very different, with a new gameplay mode, four players, improved graphics, a new story, and the fact that the plotline and cast is reminiscent of Wario Land more so than Super Mario Bros. - A Link to the Past (talk) 08:53, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
I agree a new article for dr. mario 64 should be started. -larsinio (talk) 8:50, August 31, 2005
- Funny - I think the article should be about the entire Dr. Mario series, as there isn't nearly enough information to justify splitting it out into games. Nifboy 21:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- You were saying? - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:35, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] World record
I removed the sentence:
- Conor Houghton recently set the world record by scoring a whopping 396,000 points shattering the former record of 96,000 points.
because it is almost certainly untrue, if it is true, some support is needed. Notjim 22:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
- I also doubt that its true. I just did a Google search [1] and couldn't find anything relevant--TBC

[edit] Source Code
Does anybody know of any place where I can find source code for a Dr. Mario clone? I have to make a clone of my own in Visual Basic (hehe... advanced) for my school and it'd be nice to see how somebody else did it. BirdValiant 03:42, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Karn Evil 9
Fifteen minutes and fourty-four seconds (15:44) into Karn Evil 9, during the Second Impression, you can hear a very distinct melody. The very familiar measure sounds identical to one in Dr. Mario, the song Chill, at one minute and twenty-nine seconds (1:29). Although there is no evidence I know about that says the creators of the game borrowed the melody from the song it is not an uncommon finding in the video game world. Other infamous video game themes including ones from classics like Doom also feature "stolen" melodies. Is this relevant enough to be featured? --The Skunk 07:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chill music
anyone have a link to Dr. Mario's "chill" music?
[edit] Start Menu Music
The start menu music reminds me of the theme song for the Gummi Bears.
[edit] "Time to get a haircut"??
Is there any evidence that there are lyrics to the music in the game? The entire haircut and barber talk in the gameplay section seems to be completely made up. My searches in Google only bring up this article, so I've removed it. If someone can find some adequate proof, feel free to put it back. --Jacquismo 01:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
