It was one of the WiiWare launch games in Japan, Europe, and Australia, and was released on March 25, 2008 and May 20, 2008 . It was released in North America on May 26, 2008. It costs 1000 Wii Points and takes up 103 Blocks. Although registered with the ESRB as Dr. Mario Wii, a short clip of the game from the Nintendo Channel revealed its North American title before release. The letters "Rx" in the title refers to... ℞, the common symbol for prescription. As with other Dr. Mario games, players must manipulate pills to destroy colored viruses in the game area. Dr. Mario Online Rx also features a version of the Nintendo DS title Brain Age 2's "Virus Buster/Germ Buster" mini-game, which uses the pointer function of the Wii Remote to move pills, and now allows up to four players to participate cooperatively.
