    By far the most packed Dr. Mario game to date. With classic Dr. Mario mode, Dr. Luigi mode, virus buster mode, online play & download play. Not to mention an interesting new gimmick "miracle cure" which is fun to play around with... This is the definitive Dr. Mario game that while may not be a must play for many... Is also a must have for many as well.

    I loved it, but I'm into Dr. Mario in general. The new twists are enjoyable, a Dr. Luigi levels add a new dynamic of dropping 2 locked pills at once like Tetris pieces. Having high scores. I can finally stop playing NES Dr. Mario.

    I think there's a missed opportunity here: Nintendo could have called this "Dr. Mario Bros." since it includes most modes from the Wii U title Dr. Luigi alongside traditional Dr. Mario gameplay. Nonetheless, this is a solid entry in the Dr. Mario series, and one of the best puzzle games available for Nintendo 3DS.

The Custom Mode is excellent, allowing you to play the game how you like it, and the online multiplayer is great. Other than not being a massive departure from previous entries in the series, my only really criticisms of Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure are that the artistic style is wholly unoriginal (and kind of boring), and that every single-player campaign levels can be easily beaten in a couple of hours.

    I would definitely recommend for any puzzle-lover who owns a 3DS but who has never played Dr. Mario, or if they've never played Dr. Luigi, either.    … Expand

    Even though it misses a few chances to do more, Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure is still the best version of this classic puzzler so far. [Issue #16 – July/August 2015, p.21]

    The only unquestionably valuable new feature in comparison to the previous Dr. Mario is the online mode. [09/2015, p.69]

    This feels like Nintendo at its least innovative, a simple retread of a proven formula. [Summer 2015, p.81]
