TV Commercial: Dr. Mario

Dr. Mario

This interesting spot for Dr. Mario takes place in a classroom. We find a young player dressed as a doctor describing the game, while several backup singers constantly sing "he's got the cure." Plus we got cartoon viruses dancing about. In short, another 90s Nintendo ad. At least they do show some gameplay footage.

Even Mario's a little confused. "What am I singing again?" Crash helmets in an exam room.
The viruses are jamming to the music. "Nooo! We hate this nerd!" An infestation of dancing, crying viruses.

Not exactly the most coherent ad, but this is the best of three spots for Dr. Mario. Unfortunatelty later on Nintendo would release a dumber ad, featuring the 60's song "Witch Doctor." Guess Doc Mario can't get a break on television.
