** Joking about Dr. Mario's credentials is commonplace. This went into overdrive come ''Dr. Mario World'', where we not only get characters such as Yoshi, Peach and Toadette becoming doctors, but '''Bowser''', '''his son Bowser Jr''', and '''[[UpToEleven his Koopaling minions as well]]'''. And then data for four babies was discovered. Yes, we have '''Dr. Baby Daisy''', complete with pacifier.

* NightmareFuel:
** [[NightmareFuel/SuperMarioBros As usual]], here we have the GameOver [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u6TsEutA4M music]]. It starts off [[ScareChord in a chilling way]] and then it merely gets worse. This is not helped by the viruses laughing at the player and Dr. Mario shrugging his shoulders while looking sad.
** The opening intro of ''Dr. Luigi'' has Luigi getting freaked out by the three viruses. [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Looks familiar?]]

* PortingDisaster: Largely averted with the UsefulNotes/GameBoy version, which is faithful to the NES original and has solid gameplay.

* PortingDisaster: Largely averted with the UsefulNotes/GameBoy version, which is hardly a porting disaster at all. Literally the only thing that puts it below the other versions is the lack of color, which makes it slightly more difficult to discern between the different virus & mega-vitamin types under certain lighting conditions. The UsefulNotes/GameBoy has a monochrome screen, so instead of using colors to denote the Viruses & Mega-Vitamins, it uses 3 different shade formats. Yellow becomes white, red becomes black, and blue becomes dithered gray. When playing the game with a back-light, or on an emulator, telling them apart is easy. It's not easy however when you're playing the game on the original Game Boy in a well lit environment, where the shades can get easy to mix up. Barring this, the Game Boy Version is faithful to the NES original and has solid gameplay.
