Locating Dr. Mario in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s World of Light
Dr. Mario, the vitamin-tossing medic, can be found in the Light Realm of the World of Light Adventure Mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Specifically, he’s located at the Edge of Ribbon Road Lumiose City. This area is on the far eastern side of the map, making it a destination you’ll reach after progressing through a significant portion of the adventure. He is not immediately accessible when you start the game and requires a bit of map exploration and some early character unlocks to reach him.
Unlocking Dr. Mario in Other Modes
While finding him in World of Light is one way to add him to your roster, there are other methods to unlock Dr. Mario in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. These alternate methods give players options based on their preferred game modes.
Classic Mode
A fast and straightforward way to get Dr. Mario is through Classic Mode. You need to complete Classic Mode using Mario on Very Easy difficulty without continuing. This is a good option for players who are familiar with Mario’s move set and want to unlock Dr. Mario quickly. It’s also a good way to learn Mario if you are still getting to grips with playing him, as the Very Easy mode should give you little issue.
VS. Mode
If you prefer playing against other players, you can unlock Dr. Mario by participating in 100 VS. matches. This method is more time-consuming than Classic Mode but will naturally occur as you play the game with friends and family. The advantage here is that you do not have to unlock any other character to be able to get Dr. Mario.
World of Light Exploration Tips
Finding all characters in World of Light can be a bit of a scavenger hunt. Here are a few tips to help you along the way:
Map Exploration
Carefully examine the map and look for any unexplored areas. Use the camera to its fullest extent, scanning every nook and cranny. The camera can often reveal hidden paths and the next steps you will need to take to unlock the spaces.
Dungeon Stars
Keep an eye on the dungeons in your map. Completed dungeons will have a star icon on them (blue spaces). If a dungeon doesn’t have a star, it indicates there are still some spaces or challenges within that need your attention.
Puzzle Areas
Certain areas may require you to solve a puzzle. Ensure you’re on the lookout for any obvious barriers that can be cleared or paths that appear to loop back on themselves. These tend to be very simple but require the player to take an extra moment of focus.
