After one month, Dr. Mario World has now banked an estimated amount of $1.4 million and racked up a total of 7.5 million downloads across Android and iOS devices.
Compared to Nintendo's existing mobile releases, this makes Dr. Mario the fifth-placed title in terms of revenue and the fourth most downloaded title. The only Nintendo smartphone game it managed to outperform was Dragalia Lost - and it blitzed this previous release in terms of installs, as you can see in the chart below:
In terms of revenue per download, Dr. Mario World made $0.19 per install. Japan spent the most on this new game, making up 55 percent of revenue ($770,000). The United States followed, making up 33 percent of player spending ($462,000) and it led in terms of downloads (around 2.6 million).
Did you download Dr. Mario World in the first month? Have you paid to see the doctor? Leave a comment below.

Mobile spend is either an investment in social status made by playing intensely or for the potential to resell the account (or at least certain digital items) at a gain. I suppose it could be both sometimes but the lack of early spend on Dr. Mario relative to the other releases says otherwise.
@PBandSmelly yes I did, I wasn’t happy with my comment, ha. But anyway, hey, I like this game a lot. More people should download it. I see absolutely no reason to even consider spending real money on it, though. Totally unnecessary.
I am loving it. That is my only comment for now, thank you.
$1.4 million? Looks like Mario’s got a good paying job.
Damn. Dragalia Lost has earned quite a lot of money considering the download base.
People aren't spending much on it because in my experience, you have no need to. I'm on level 96 with over 100 diamonds because of free gifts!
Like @Matthew010 said, you get alot of freebies. I’ve completed all the stages that’s out right now and I haven’t spent a dime!
I downloaded then deleted this cash grab.
No I didnt spent but yes I did download it, and Im enyoing it
Downloaded it, played for a hour, deleted.
Pretty abysmal in comparison. I'm always happy when these IAP centred games "tank".
I totally forgot how this was even a thing lol
Does anyone else think it's weird how we got a Dr Mario game for phones before we got one for the Switch?
Not a lot of money..... I wonder if Nintendo is happy with the numbers or not
And how did dragalia lost made so much money so fast?!
I’ve nearly finished the available worlds and I haven’t spent a penny! There are some really tough levels where you have to be really efficient if you don’t want to pay to win. I feel like I should pay something though!
This just means that it is time for Dr. Mario to have a game on The Switch. Anyways, I have many of these mobile games including Dragalia Lost, but they all have gacha issues and grind problems. Dr. Mario is fun until the stamina problem kicks in.
It still surprises me that Dragalia Lost and Dr. Mario World are not available in AppStore in Russia.
It also pisses me off not to be able to get a new Phantasy Star game for IOS - Sega also loves its fans a lot. (even though the game is probably not worth it but I am really hungry for my favourite RPG from the childhood)
Free-to-play always-online garbage.
It's an easy skip.
Wake me up when they release a new Dr. Mario for Switch. A brand new retail game at the sweet price of AU$44 (the same pricing tier for Tetris 99 and Snipperclips Plus) would be lovely.
This is how video gaming will be ruined.
Not available on this part pf the world.
Don't know why some south American countries are not included for this realease yet.
Pretty meh results TBH.
Seems far from setting the mobile gaming world on fire.
How successful are Nintendo's mobile games, exactly? They keep developing them, so they must be profitable, but the online only requirement keeps me away from most (though I won't be able to resist Mario Kart Tour). I only ever play mobile games if I'm without Wi-Fi or a handheld system because I usually find them far less enjoyable than a conventional game, or at least would much rather play one.
