### 3/5 — Dr.Mario original was the best 1991 level 23 on high beat tha

*2026-04-29, version 2.1.4*

Another addiction you can’t get anymore

### 2/5 — Quitting early

*2025-06-02, version 2.1.4*

On the challenge level the game gives you a game over when you have 10+ seconds left, this has never happened before.

### 4/5 — Doc Mary

### 4/5 — Doc Mary

“ Very   Good  ! 🤟🏻

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2025-01-06, version 2.1.4*

Finally made it past Extreme level 50. Wonderful game!

### 2/5 — Ok

*2024-08-05, version 2.1.4*

Unhinged choice to make the rotation counter clockwise. Even the rotation icon is clockwise, because humans are so used to turning to the right that icon assets come that way. Wild wild choice!

### 4/5 — Adequate re-creation of the classic NES game.

*2024-01-03, version 2.1.4*

Well done. Stable. Good replay value. Took forever but I finally beat level 50 extreme. My only complaint is that you cannot drop pieces quickly and precisely. They only drop one row at a time painfully slow, in four or five rows at a time with an upward flick, or all the way with a downward flick. No in between. This makes game modes restricted by time frustrating because you need to wait for pieces to drop on their own to put them in the right place rather than putting them there quickly yourself. Otherwise this is great.

### 5/5 — The Definitive Rendition of a Mobile Dr. Mario

*2022-11-15, version 2.1.4*

I am an incredibly huge fan of the original Dr. Mario game on the Nintendo Entertainment System, as it has been regarded as one of the greatest puzzle games ever conceived. Despite it’s easy to pick up, difficult to master gameplay that is prime for mobile gaming, The Official Nintendo created Dr. Mario game, Dr. Mario World, on mobile phones was a prime example of ruining something fantastic by forcing complexity. However, Dr. Mary is completely different when compared to the official alternative, and instead strives to be what many wanted it to be. A definitive mobile rendition of the Dr. Mario Classic we all have grown to love. The gameplay is almost one-to-one with the original source material, and actually has gamemodes that build off the classic in fun, original ways. Not to mention, the greatest aspect of this game is the startling lack of intrusive advertisements. While on occasion advertised content will show up on the bottom of the screen, it does not take away from the experience in the slightest. Overall, more apps should strive to do what Dr. Mary does. While it’s concept isn’t fully original, it still is an incredible rendition of the Dr. Mario formula. Congratulations, you guys made an infinitely better Dr. Mario game than Nintendo.

### 5/5 — 超级无敌小游戏

*2021-06-09*

大概是从有这个游戏就开始玩吧！看似简单重复，然而并不枯燥。特别是11年买了IPD后，更是乐此不疲！锻炼大脑，锻炼手眼配合速度，总之就是非常好玩啦！喜欢喜欢！感谢开发商！感谢工程师们！

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2021-02-01, version 2.1.4*

Fun game but can’t get past puzzle level 6 and there’s no way to get help

### 5/5 — 好玩

*2020-10-15*

真的很好玩 通关之后清零重新开始 感觉自已可以玩无数遍

### 3/5 — 最新版本影响游戏体验

*2020-07-12*

前几天底部突然开始出现广告，以及莫名其妙突然闪现的视频广告，导致卡机，闪退，不是不能接受广告，但出现的频率和时机太讨人厌了，广告做的好低级。

### 5/5 — 更新完闪退

*2020-07-09*

我玩了好几年这个游戏，换手机又下载一个，结果这次更新开始闪退了，以前从来没有过。希望尽快解决。

### 5/5 — 玛丽医生

*2020-05-30*

童年回忆，超级爱玩的一款游戏。现在也是有空就玩，推荐大家一起玩儿

### 5/5 — 你说什么你都不相信的

*2020-04-05*

在一起吧！看着别人说了什么🤔？看不完了。看看人家怎么办……雷龙🦕，看我、在一起的人家说了一句我的朋友也不是什么事你说你们是我自己都会好过了今天早上给力哦、；这种人就算、雷龙🦕。你是个什么样呢？你你不知道怎么来自我们一起努力加油的时候你就是、在线的朋友可以理解为是因为你会对战产生的影响……这种方式进行中了什么都不会改变．这种行为进行的调查问卷⋯：这种事情发生了什么都不是一个月的时候给她打电话了，这种天气我也不会觉得冷的感觉自己好一点。看到一个人就要被别人抢走我是一定不会再．。这里也不能这样的日子吗，不知道为什么我不。你在我国境内发展银行：？看到一句话就是一句

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2023-07-03*

贵游戏是不是公司是不是穷疯了？广告多到令人发
指的地步，每次游戏结束后必须弹出这点我都不说什么，忍了，就游戏时底端广告我根本没点都自动
弹出，有时候马上要通关了弹出广告，关掉直接显示我输了，如果想继续玩就得分享游戏到朋友圈获得复活机会，我怀疑你们是故意这么设置的，

### 1/5 — Too many pop ups!

*2021-01-18, version 2.1.4*

There are too many pop up ads, in most cases this happens in the middle of the game while you are playing. While this happens, the game continues yet the ad blocks you from seeing the game. Poor design.

### 1/5 — Update is HORRIBLE

*2015-05-03, version 2.0.2*

The game is unplayable with this update! The pills cannot be controlled.

### 1/5 — How is it I've written 3 reviews and now there is none?

*2014-05-26, version 1.9.2*

Love this game.... Accept the making you lose instantly from ad pushes... Great... If you like to not play anything at all

### 1/5 — Ad Un-free

*2012-05-15, version 1.2*

Used to be a fun game. Purchased the ad-free game only to have it updated a few weeks later with the ads re-installed. I tried to ignore the foreign ads but they cover the bottom rows making it impossible to see what you're doing therefore making it impossible to beat the levels!

### 1/5 — Ads

*2012-05-04, version 1.2*

Ads on bottom block rows
So how do you remove them
I don't read that language

### 1/5 — Worst Update Ever!

*2012-03-09, version 1.1*

The new controls are horrible and I keep hitting the adds by accident witch opens up safari… The 20 more levels is a joke. It just takes longer to get to where level 20 was. Very bad mistake, I deleted it!

### 1/5 — Talk To Your Doctor...

*2012-01-20*

As soon as i saw the app icon, i already knew what was up, however, i didn't think the app would fail this horribly. And when i say fail...i MEAN it. Why do app developers put time into a product, but not make sure it's actually playable?  the design is horrible. the music definitely doesn't go with the game at all, and the graphics are the opposite of awe-inspiring. I typically don't write reviews because whenever i check back, they're not posted, but i write this in hopes apple or whoever is in charge of review submissions lets me get a little recognition by putting this up. BAD GAME, DO NOT GIVE ANY TIME OF DAY.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY UNTIL ADS ARE REMOVED!

*2012-01-18, version 1.0*

You have been warned, there are ads on a paid version. NO EXCUSE! Should be on free apps, not PAID versions.

### 2/5 — Too many obvious bots

*2026-02-06, version 2.1.4*

Game play is decent, no chance in Online play. It’s all just regurgitated bots.

### 5/5 — The game needs new levels

*2023-04-13, version 2.1.4*

Add levels past 50 please

### 5/5 — best dr. mario app i've found

*2023-03-12, version 2.1.4*

i've tried a handful of the dr. mario apps i could find on the app store and this is the one i like most. i prefer the "sensitive" gesture controls. the app starts up quickly and runs lightly, no bloat here. ads are unobtrusive and i don't notice them most of the time. the only thing is that the "black" background is actually green, lol.
