Exploder
An Exploder is a stage feature in the shape of a bomb from Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure and Dr. Mario World.
In Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure, exploders are gray, and can sometimes appear in the Miracle Cure mode after the gauge is filled. When the exploder lands and detonates, any virus or capsule pieces within a two-tile radius are removed.
In Dr. Mario World, exploders come in different colors. When a color capsule matches the color of the exploder, the exploder eliminates objects, such as viruses, in its adjacent tiles. They mostly appear in Stage Mode, but in Versus Mode, they can appear based on an assistant, or they can also appear with Dr. Baby Mario's skill.
In-game description
- Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure: "When dire times call for drastic action, nothing works quite like an Exploder. The moment it lands, it detonates, taking out everything around it."
- Dr. Mario World: "Match an exploder with pieces of the same color and it'll...explode!"
