Template:Infobox Dr. Mario Online Rx Virus Buster (JP: Dr. Mario & Virus Buster PAL: Dr. Mario & Germ Buster) a WiiWare video game of the puzzle genre. The title features both traditional Dr. Mario gameplay in addition to Virus Buster, a mini-game from Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day! Virus Buster has been modified for motion-sensing control rather than stylus control.[1]
Although Nintendo has not announced a price for regions outside of Japan, title costs 1,000 Wii Points in Japan.[1]
Modes of Play
In both modes, the traditional goal of the Dr. Mario series carried over into this title. Players manuver Megavitamins tossed into a glass jar in order to destroy the Viruses. In order for a virus to be destroyed, it must be connected to at least one Megavitamin of the same color. In this version, either Dr. Mario or the player's Miis can toss viruses into the glass jar.
Multiplayer
In addition to the single player mode, Dr. Mario features local and online multiplayer. The title takes advantage of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for online matches between friends around the world. Players can download the multiplayer demo from a friend who owns the game, enabling players to compete when only one owns the title. Despite region encoding of the Wii, the multiplayer demo may be sent to a Wii system of a different region.[1]
