- Featuring a wealth of content with multiple game modes and online multiplayer options, making it the most packed Dr. Mario game yet.
- New power-ups and Miracle Cure mechanics add fresh twists to the classic gameplay, enhancing the puzzle experience.
- Single player challenges and local co-op options provide plenty of engaging gameplay for both solo and multiplayer sessions.
- The game does little to expand the established Dr. Mario formula, which may disappoint players looking for innovation.
- Some features, such as music select and Flash mode, are missing, and the lack of 3D on the 3DS is a letdown.
- With only 50 puzzles available, the single player content may feel insufficient for long-term engagement.

Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure Review
Featuring three different game modes from throughout the franchise's history, as well as preset scenarios to clear and online multiplayer, this is easily the most packed Dr. Mario game yet. There's a ton of different ways to play, so if you don't fancy Miracle Cure or Dr. Luigi, for example, you can easily leave them untouched and still have a lot to do. Those that are into head-to-head battles will find the online mode quite entertaining as well.

The new Miracle Cures add welcome new flourishes to the classic puzzle gameplay, and the sheer wealth of content on offer makes this a bargain. Even once you've ignored the awful Luigi bits.
