Dr. Mario World is a discontinued puzzle game in the Dr. Mario series for iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices. It was a free-to-download game with in-app purchases that was co-developed by Nintendo, LINE, and NHN Entertainment, and it was available initially in 59 countries/regions, including Japan and the United States. The game supported multiple languages, including Japanese and English. Dr. Mario World is the second game of the Super Mario franchise for mobile devices, following Super Mario Run, though it is the first free-to-play mobile game featuring microtransactions and gacha mechanics in the Super Mario franchise. Like Super Mario Run, the game required a constant internet connection to play. It takes advantage of the touchscreen controls of the smartphone, where players dragged capsules with the touchscreen to eliminate viruses, though the core gameplay is slightly tweaked in comparison to prior Dr. Mario titles in that players solved puzzles with a limited number of capsules rather than infinite capsules against a time limit.
