Special Attacks edit

Button(s) Attack Description/notes
B Megavitamins Doc throws a pill out in front of him. The pill bounces on the ground, slowly advancing forward. One of the best projectiles, it's typical to throw this out and follow behind it. Like most projectiles it does have some lag associated with it, so use at a distance only.
Up + B Super Jump Punch Doc uppercuts an enemy, hitting multiple times. Good for recovery and clearing out wireframes, bad for any real use.
Down + B Dr. Tornado Doc spins around rapidly, sending enemies every which way.
Forward + B Super Sheet Doc swings a white sheet in front of him. During the majority of the move, projectiles that hit him will instead be reflected. If an enemy is hit with the sheet, they will reverse direction; Good for ledge-guarding against many different up+B moves.

Throws edit

Button(s) Description/notes
Down He throws the opponent on the ground, who then bounces up.
Forward Doc swings around once and throws the enemy forward.
Up Doc simply throws the enemy up.
Back Doc swings around several times, throwing the enemy behind him. A respectable kill move.

Advanced Techniques edit

Doc’s Up-B Cancel edit

Doctor Mario can actually cancel his Up-B. After you press Up B (Up and to the Right preferably), to cancel it, quickly tap in the opposite control stick direction. If you succeed it will be very noticeable, just keep practicing because this is one of those things that will take time to master.
