1	* DolledUpInstallment: The game was originally entitled "Virus", and did not star Mario. Wanting to recreate the success of ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'', Nintendo changed the title and added a labcoat-clad Mario.
2	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
3	** ''Dr. Mario 64'' has only been released on the Platform/Nintendo64 in America, on the iQue Player in China, as one of the games featured in ''[[CompilationRerelease Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'' on the Platform/NintendoGameCube in Japan, and that's it. It is one of the few N64 Mario games to have never been released on the Platform/VirtualConsole. It would finally see a re-release as a launch title for the Platform/NintendoSwitch's collection of Nintendo 64 games.
4	** With the Wii Shop Channel closing on January 30th, 2019, it means that the only way to play ''Dr. Mario Online Rx'' is to have a Platform/{{Wii}} where that game has been bought prior to that date.
5	** ''Dr. Luigi'' and ''Miracle Cure'' have both become unavailable to download due to the closure of the Wii U and [=3DS=] [=eShop=].
6	** ''Tetris & Dr. Mario'' has never been re-released likely due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal issues]] with the Tetris half. ''Dr. Mario & [[VideoGame/PanelDePon Puzzle League]]'' has also never seen a re-release of any kind.
7	* MeaningfulReleaseDate: The Game Boy version was added to Nintendo Switch Online a few days after Mario Day.
8	* NoExportForYou:
9	** ''Dr. Mario 64'' was not originally released in Europe or Australia. It didn’t see an official release in those regions until 20 years after its original debut. The original Nintendo 64 version was also never released in Japan, and has yet to see a re-release there.
10	** Zig-zagged with ''Tetris & Dr. Mario''. The full game was not released in Japan, but the ''Dr. Mario'' half was released on its own for the Platform/{{Satellaview}} and Nintendo Power services.
11	* PortOverdosed: The Switch currently has three different versions of the game; NES, Game Boy, and ''64''.
