Larry appears as a doctor under the name '''Dr. Larry''' in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. He was added alongside [[Roy|Dr. Roy]] on February 3, 2020. Dr. Larry is available as a special stage reward in [[World 12 (Dr. Mario World)|World 12]]. Dr. Larry's skill involves [[colorful crate]]s, where in stage mode it immediately breaks up to 10 of them (8 prior to version 1.4.0) even if they are covered in another object (e.g. [[barrel]]s) unless they are locked behind cages, while in versus mode it sends a number of them to the opponent's play area, where they fill in any gaps available starting from the topmost row, followed by left to right. The amount of colorful crates sent differ based on level, where it is two at level 1 and eight at level 4 and 5 (the latter has the added effect of filling the skill meter faster). In stage mode, using this skill when there are no more colorful crates left will eliminate a random [[virus]] or object (if there are no viruses left), although [[capsule]]s cannot be removed by this skill.
