Dr. Luigi

Template:Justreleased Template:Infobox Dr. Luigi, known in Japan as Dr. Luigi & Virus Buster, is a title in the Dr. Mario series. The game was released exclusively for Nintendo eShop on Wii U as part of the Year of Luigi. As the title suggests, the game stars Luigi in a game very similar to Dr. Mario.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very similar to the original Dr. Mario games. Players must eliminate viruses by stacking Megavitamins on them by ultimately creating a row of four or more of the same color. In this game, however, there is a new game mode named Operation L, which involves stacking multicolored L-shaped pills in reference to Luigi.

Combos are altered in this game. In Dr. Mario, when a player gains a combo, the opponent will receive two half-Megavitamins to stall progress. In Operation L, when a player gains a combo, the opposing player's upcoming Megavitamin will have its colors switched.

Game Modes

• Operation L: The new mode of Dr. Luigi. In this mode, the player need clear the bottle of Viruses, like in other Dr. Mario games. This mode uses L-shaped megavitamins. The L-Shaped megavitamins are two normal megavitamins in a stack, and if this megavitamin stays on top of a virus, megavitamin, or the end of bottle, the two megavitamins will separate.
• Retro Remedy: This is the classic mode of Dr. Mario. In this mode, the player doesn't have L-shaped megavitamins, only normal megavitamins. The player needs to clear the bottle of viruses with pills the same color as each virus.
• Virus Buster: In this mode, only touch-screen controls are used. After a while on the same stage, two megavitamins appear, and then three.
• Online Mode: Like Dr. Mario Online Rx, the player can play with friends and players around the world. The modes available are Operation L and Retro Remedy.

• Unlike his brother, Dr. Luigi still wears his hat instead of a head mirror.
• Like Dr. Mario Online Rx, if the player completes the 20th level with the high speed in every mode (except multiplayer) the credits will roll.
• Some musics are very similar to Dr. Mario 64 musics.
