Dr. Mario has been out on iOS and Android for a couple weeks now and fans of the game have been eagerly fighting those nifty little viruses! Today Nintendo announced that Dr. Mario World will receive a huge new update including new characters and brand new stages to explore.
In Dr. Mario World the player will need to fight those tiny little gems by matching capsules with the viruses in order to make them disappear. Once you match three capsules of the same color vertically or horizontally they will be cleared. Sounds easy, but quickly becomes a challenging brain twister!
The new update will add a whooping 20 new stages to the game. By the first look that Nintendo revealed today, we see that Dr. Mario World is slowly gearing up for this years Halloween season most likely in anticipation of a Luigis Mansion 3 cross over event, with purple slime and an overall darker look.
Next to the new stages, the mobile game will also receive a total of three new doctors, including the much beloved Daisy in a yellow lab coat, how cute!
A new update for Dr. Mario World is out now, you can download version 1.0.4 from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store now. While the patch notes only mention bug fixes and other improvements, it sure is laying the groundwork for the new additions to be available sometime this week!

Robot Army From one islander to another…
Seeing as how the myPotatoGames headquarters is located on the beautiful island of Kauai, we figured it would behoove us to make mention of this wonderful island-style title. Leilani’s Island is currently in production, and being developed by Craig Forrester, an indie game designer with an expansive list of titles that he has helped create. This title is currently in development for PC, and there is, as of yet, no mention of future platforms or a release date.
Map Design Leilani is “Royal Child”…
In Leilani’s Island, you must use the abilities at hand to destroy the robot army and stop Kuila from taking over! In this tropical 2D platformer, you will roll/dash through many enemies and obstacles to obliterate every mechanical menace in your path.
With magical powers and endless agility, you’ll roll, jump and smash your way to a robot free home! With tons of fresh island-style tweaks on this classic genre, Leilani’s Island will surely be a truly u’i (beautiful) game to explore.
