11 Video Game Doctors Who Should Have Their Licences Revoked

11. Dr. Mario - Dr. Mario

Mario has been part of the video game industry since 1981, and the Mario Franchise is the best-selling video game franchise of all time. His blue overalls, red hat and questionable moustache are iconic, and it's almost impossible not to love the little guy.

Love him, sure. But trust him to prescribe and administer your medication? Maybe not.

Dr. Mario was a Tetris knockoff released in 1990 that saw our favourite plumber thrust into the role of doctor, throwing pills into a bottle with the intent to align matching colours.

The whole bizarre scenario raises a few questions. The first being: If Mario has a doctorate, then why does he willingly climb through pipes most of the time?

The second question is: If Mario doesn't have a doctorate, a) why is he throwing pills around like that and, b) where did he get the pills from?

The mind boggles at all of the baffling implications, but Mario launching pills around willy-nilly becomes scarier the more you think about it.

Maybe he should forget this one and stick to platforming and kart racing.
