So… Baby Wario Is a Doctor Now

It turns out that Baby Wario can play the role of your doctor in Dr. Mario World. Nintendo has just announced that the new doctor in town is Dr. Baby Wario and he’ll be arriving on June 26 at 3 am PT (definitely not a good time for a baby to be awake) in Dr. Mario World.

Dr. Mario World, Nintendo’s mobile take on the match-three puzzler, has added baby characters in the past to the game’s roster of professional and somehow certified doctors of the Mushroom Kingdom but this is the first time in a while that we’ve seen Baby Wario make an appearance in a Nintendo game.

Dr. Mario World released exclusively for mobile devices in July of 2019 as a free-to-play title with microtransactions.

It managed to amass over five million downloads in its first week and although the revenue has not been on par with Nintendo’s other mobile offerings such as Dragalia Lost and Fire Emblem Heroes, the title still performed well compared to other puzzlers on mobile.
