It’s always sweet to rediscover an old classic, which was the case a few weeks ago when I learned Dr. Mario was available download on the Wii. It was only $10 — totally worth it for hours of entertainment.
The new version is called Dr. Mario Online Rx, and the best feature is being able to play against other people online. Everyone starts out with 5000 points, and you move up or down when you win or lose. I was once as high as 6500 points and ranked 12000th in the world, but then went on a pretty big losing streak and dropped back down to 5800. It’s like gambling: I’m like, “It’s ok I just need to keep playing a little more. I can win it back.” And then I lose more. So addicting though.
There are players who have maxed out their stats with 9999 wins and 8000 points. I’m kind of jealous. But not really. But yeah kind of. I thought I was a Dr. Mario superstar before getting owned online so it’s really been kind of a humbling experience.
