Don't tell Nintendo, but as a kid I got a Nintendo 64 emulator running on the (at the time) newly upgraded family computer, and for some reason this was one of the games I played the most. My mom didn't like this game, my brother was too little to play, and I had no friends to call over, so I just spent loads of hours playing this, all alone. In that sense, this game holds a lot of nostalgia for me, despite being such a uniquely solitary experience, but being objective, this is not the best. The boards are pretty meh all things considered, the game is not balanced at all, and this one has those infamous palm-destroying minigames that were thankfully taken out of future entries. Despite all that, I still have a little soft-spot for this game, even if it's not all that amazing when compared to the rest of the series

Ironically, I played this a ton when I got hospitalized, alongside the version for the OG Game Boy. I'd play this one, charge the 3DS when it was outta juice, and in the meantime I'd play on my Game Boy Color, and I did that for a week straight. I guess if there was any game to play while in a hospital, Dr. Mario's a logical choice

What an unbelievably "nothing" game. It's not broken, it functions, it's playable, but that's literally all I can say about it. I almost wish it was genuinely abysmal, but no, it's just dull and boring. Not surprisingly, this was one of the games I sold without a second thought when I got the chance, and I've never missed it
