Earlier in the month, Nintendo revealed Dr. Nabbit as a playable character in smartphone game Dr. Mario World. As cool as Nabbit is, we thought that having him as a new doctor might be pushing things just a tad. How wrong we were.
Yes, introducing Dr. Goomba Tower, an actual, real character that will now forever have its place in the Nintendo history books. This triple threat newcomer will be arriving in the game on 27th April at 3pm JST (so that's 11pm the night before PT).
As always, Dr. Goomba Tower will also bring with it new stages. You can get a glimpse for yourself below.
If Dr. Goomba Tower isn't in the next Mario Kart, we riot.

I actually really like this character 😬 I think it's genuinely funny and what better platform to try out some goofy, nonsensical characters than in a game with as little stakes as Dr Mario World
Whatever curiosity I could have about Dr. Luigi back in the day has gotten really out of hand.
They're doing better with the characters now - Nabbit and Goomba are my most wanted (within reason - I doubt they'll bring Vivian to the third dimension or let Dribble and Spitz visit the Mushroom Kingdom any time soon) to make major spin-off roles
This character choice is so bizarre I can’t help but like it.
Speaking of the next Mario Kart, don't you think it's time for one ?
Mario Kart 8 is 6 years old now (how time flies o__O)
Still waiting on Dr. Dr. Mario
First, these trenchcoat hooligans were sneaking into adult movies. Now they're trying to pass off as healthcare professionals.
Um... don’t they need hands?
Granted I am not mad at anyone that wants to move up from disposable boot fodder. Even if they split the check it has to pay better than Bowser does.
This character doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This character isn't the bottom of the barrel. This character isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This character doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.- Roger Ebert
I have no interest in the game (or any other phone games) but best character.
This is absolutely incredible.
Instant waifu material.
Dr Goomba Tower for Smash.
Brilliant! Honestly this sort of thing is way better than just sticking to the main set of characters and being done with it, that’s boring, this is fun!
When there's a doctor shortage but the covid patients just keep piling up.

It always amazes me how they’d rather scrape the bottom of the barrel before taking the majority of the barrels contents first... there’s loads of more interesting character that they just refuse to acknowledge.
Hang on...if I see Dr. Goomba Tower, am I getting one medical opinion, or three?
Nintendo has the best mobile games, this one is a gem.
They're really getting desperate during this pandemic.
Why is this game still not available worldwide? I really love the original Dr. Mario, but in my country is unavailable...
Its the only Nintendo mobile game that have not been released.
That is utterly ridiculous.
I tip my hat, Nintendo.
I should of expected this after a Fire Piranha Plant made it into Mario Tennis Aces in 2019, and a normal o’l one being dedicated as the 70th unique character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
yes because i would like 3 sentient chestnuts to give me my prescriptions XD
Hope they make king k. Rool a character
Ok this is a bottom of the barrel I don’t mind
I'm a lapsed fan of the game. I got through a bunch of worlds spending around $10 (mostly to support the game; paying wasn't absolutely necessary). Then it became clear continued progression would regularly cost me real cash and I was out. Has the game been loosened up a bit? I LOVED what I had played up to that point, btw.
They're just giving doctorates to everyone now... wonder if i could get a PhD nintendo!!!
Okay, but if a stack of goombas was playable in Smash or Mario Party or whatever, you bet I'd play as the stack o' goombas.
The only game where Goomba Tower is playable is Super Mario Odyssey.
I say Dr. Goomba Tower for smash.
Why is such a good character concept wasted on mobile trash. :/
@Ryu_Niiyama Goombas can play baseball without hands, so I guess they could throw pills as well.
