| ===Physical description===
| |
| Dr. Mario is a fair-skinned man with brown hair and a dark-brown, ragged mustache, similar to his normal self. Dr. Mario also wears brown work shoes like his normal self, but he dons a doctor's regular form of attire: white pants, a white collared shirt, a red tie, and a white coat, as well as a stethoscope and a head mirror. Despite this, Dr. Mario's design has undergone several changes throughout his history.

| In his first self-titled game, Dr. Mario lacks a tie, his shirt is a darker color, and his hair is distinctly lighter than Mario's. In ''Dr. Mario 64'', Dr. Mario's hair is closer to Mario's in color (though still a lighter shade of brown), while he now wears his signature tie.

Melee'', Dr. Mario has auburn hair, a brown headband, and a tanned complexion, reflecting his then-recent appearance in ''Dr. Mario 64'', as well as Mario's appearance in ''Mario Kart 64''.
