Dr. Mario makes his first overall appearance in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where he appears as an unlockable fighter. He can be unlocked by clearing Classic Mode or Adventure Mode with [[Mario]] without using a continue or by playing 100 Melee matches, and then defeating him in the immediate subsequent match on [[Peach's Castle]]. Unlike in his home series, Dr. Mario's design is somewhat modified for his appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'': he has a blue stethoscope, a brown head mirror headband and, most noticeable, a pair of dark gray pants. Like his normal self, Dr. Mario's weight is 100 units. The default theme from his game, Fever, is available in the soundtrack, although it is based more on the Game Boy and SNES version of the track.

According to ''Super Smash Bros.'' series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], the concept of a slower, yet stronger Mario was originally considered to be used for [[Wario]]. Due to time constraints, however, this concept was instead given to Dr. Mario.<ref>[http://sourcegaming.info/2016/01/31/dufl-sources/ The Definitive Unused Fighters List in Smash – Source Translations]</ref> On a lesser note, some of Dr. Mario's animations are less energetic and thus make him appear more serious and contemplative, which Sakurai jokingly said "make him seem like an old man."<ref name=Source>[https://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/01/16/melee-drmario/ News Flash!
