This hack transforms Dr. Mario Game Boy game into a Game Boy Color game.

Enjoy the Game Boy classic now in full color with a very cool new feature: character selection!

That’s it! Dr. Luigi, Dr. Daisy and Dr. Wario join the virus battle! Choose your favorite doctor to play as, each one with their own sprite, palettes.

It also has a couple of slight QoL tweaks to the original game code.

Gorgeous!

This hack transforms the original into what is the definitive version of Dr. Mario in my opinion. I prefer this one to even the SNES/SFC version.

It's a must have for any ROM collection.
