Dr. Mario: The 3D Adventure

Dr. Mario is a linear 3D platformer game along the lines of Super Mario 3D World, except in this game, Mario's main method of attack: the Jump has been replaced with a Megavitamin. Mario can still jump, of course, I mean, he is Jumpman after all but he can't defeat enemies with it, he must use Megavitamins. 
== Story ==
Dr. Mario is looking through a microscope at some viruses that are growing at an alarming rate. Nurse Peach comes up next to him and says that he's needed in reception, so Dr. Mario leaves. The viruses grow bigger and shatter the case they're in. Dr. Mario leaves the reception and sees the viruses walking out the door, multiplying. Dr. Mario gasps and grabs his Megavitamins, he throws one at a virus and it disappears. He smiles and runs out the door while Nurse Peach waits in the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital.
=== Ending ===
Dr. Mario defeats the Grand Virus and cleans up the rest of the viruses. He heads back to the Mushroom Kingdom Hospital where he's applauded and treated like a hero. Dr. Luigi come out from a door and also applauds Dr. Mario, he winks at the screen and puts on his Mario Cap, ending the game.

=== Gameplay Overview ===
In Dr. Mario: The 3D Adventure you control Dr. Mario as he sets off on a quest to defeat all the viruses that are invading the Mushroom Kingdom. In this game, you cannot jump to defeat enemies. Instead, you have to hit them with a Megavitamin, defeating them. Power-Ups don't actually improve Mario (Except the Super Mushroom) they actually improve the Megavitamins. After collecting a Pill Mushroom, Dr. Mario can unleash his Doctor Finale, from Smash Bros. Coincidentally, pressing X can make him swish his coat around, stunning enemies. There are only three enemy types in the game, considering it's rather short story mode. 
=== Characters ===
==== Playable ====
Character 	Description
Dr. Mario 	Dr. Mario is the main protagonist of the game. In this game, his main method of attack is not his jump, but a megavitamin. Throwing them at a virus defeats them. He doesn't have any big tricks up his sleeve, but pressing down the L Control Stick makes Dr. Mario wear his signature red cap, Neato!
Nurse Peach (Nurse Toadstool)	Nurse Peach is only playable in the Nurse's Nuisance extra mode. In this, she can't perform her signature float, instead having the same jump as Dr. Mario. To compensate for this, Nurse Peach has homing megavitamins that travel fast, pressing down on the L Stick makes Peach wear her crown. Cool!
=== Enemies ===
Chill Virus	The Chill Virus is the most basic virus. When Chill Virus hits you, not only do you lose your power-up, you slow down for 3 seconds and get a blue tinge around you. It takes only one hit to defeat it.
Fever Virus	The Fever Virus is sort of like a Koopa in it's Fever Form. When it's hit with a Megavitamin it will turn into a Chill Virus. The Fever Virus is the fastest and when it hits you, nothing special happens except losing your Power-Up.
Weird Virus	The Weird Virus is the slowest virus and moves in sporadic patterns. It can only take one hit to die but can also jump in the air.
=== Power-Ups ===
Super Mushroom	This is the iconic and most basic power-up, it makes Small Doctor become Dr. Mario and gives him an extra hit. After becoming Dr. Mario, he can obtain the power-up again and make his Megavitamin 25% bigger.
Fire Flower 	The Fire Flower turns Dr. Mario's Megavitamins light on fire, killing Fever Viruses in one hit.
Ice Flower 	The Ice Flower Power-up does only 1 damage, but slows down viruses. However, it doesn't do any damage to Chill Viruses.
Mega Mushroom 	The Mega Mushroom makes Dr. Mario's megavitamins ginormous, at the cost of making it fly at a snail's pace.
Mini Mushroom 	This has the opposite effect to the Mega Mushroom, making megavitamins tiny while making them very fast.
Homing Bullet 	This makes Dr. Mario's megavitamins home in on the closest virus. It also makes the megavitamin explode on contact with a virus.
Pill Mushroom 	
== Nurse's Nuisance ==
Nurse's Nuisance is a bonus mode in the game after the main campaign has been completed. It is essentially a wave-survival game starring Nurse Peach as she tries to defeat oncoming hordes of viruses. Nurse Peach has 5 hits, and after 5 hits, it's Game Over. There are 50 waves to survive, waves 0-10 only have Chill Viruses, waves 10-25 have a combination of Chill and Fever viruses, and waves 25+ have all three virus types. After surviving all 50 waves, Peach runs to the window and sees Dr. Mario walking toward the Hospital.
