<p>Do you remember the off-the-wall reveal of Piranha Plant as a <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate">Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></strong> fighter? In vintage Nintendo style, a character choice that appeared too silly to be practical soon revealed itself as a fun and complex addition to the roster (and gave way to one of our all-time favourite amiibos, to boot).</p>
<p>Far be it from us to deny sentient flora the opportunity to improve its station in life (hey, if they can scrap and <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/05/fire_piranha_plant_joins_the_mario_tennis_aces_roster_in_june">play tennis</a>, who are we to judge?). However, handing out PhDs to carnivorous plants <em>might</em> be taking things a tad too far.</p>
<p>Yes, Dr. Piranha Plant M.D. is in the house and shall be practising (presumably herbal) medicine later today when it takes residence on your smartphone in <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/dr_mario_world">Dr. Mario World</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Given the characters already making you cough and say ‘arhh’ in Nintendo’s mobile version of the virus-zapping puzzle game, the promotion of a plant is not exactly a surprise. One might question the credentials of Dr. Mario himself as a healthcare professional, but given the choice between Super Mario or a selection of <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/09/two_babies_become_qualified_doctors_in_dr_mario_world_later_this_week">infants</a>, a <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/05/dr_mario_worlds_roster_just_keeps_on_giving_-_introducing_dr_dolphin">dolphin</a>, an <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/10/dr_mario_worlds_latest_update_adds_donkey_kong_and_diddy_kong">ape</a>, or — we kid you not — <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/dr_mario_world_continues_to_deliver_with_new_character_dr_goomba_tower">three goombas in an overcoat</a>, we’d probably take our chances with a moonlighting plumber performing our <em>something</em>-ectomy.</p>
<p>There will also be new stages added to the game later today, as per the tweet below from the Dr. Mario World official account:</p>

Maybe it’s just me, but I gotta wonder why Bowser picked such a scary place to live.

<p>Have you been enjoying Dr. Mario World on your mobile device? Does a piece of white material with a picture of a pill on it qualify as proper attire for a medical practitioner? Let us know below if you’d let a plant with teeth (although, curiously, no eyes) take a look at your tonsils.</p>
