'''Megavitamins''' is [[Dr Mario]]'s [[Neutral Special Move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The Megavitamins are similar to [[Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s. However, they have a unique bounce arc, fall faster, do more damage, and have distinctive sounds used from the original [[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario game]](When he throws it, it makes the disappearing pill sound, and when hit, it makes the each whole type of virus disappearing sound). They are also used in his [[taunt]], in which he tosses a Megavitamin up and catches it, but this one does not do any damage. The megavitimins are harder to dodge, making them harder for approaches and camping.

Megavitamins is Dr Mario's Standard Special Move. He launches a Megavitamin forward in a similar fashion to Mario's Fireball, though with different properties

Overview

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Megavitamins bounce higher, fall faster, and deal 8% damage, being more than Fireball at 6%. The move also plays the unique sound effects from Dr. Mario. Despite its physical appearance, Megavitamins can be absorbed.

In Super Smash. Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Megavitamins were considerably weakened, dealing 5% up close and 4% far, and have considerably more startup and end lag, and have shorter duration. However, they are slightly larger, cover more distance, and are now recognized as physical projectiles, preventing them from being absorbed.

Trophy Description

Megavitamins

Megavitamins come in six color combinations of red, blue and yellow. Dr. Mario uses these capsules by tossing them into contaminated bottles to destroy viruses. The origin of these wonder pills is a mystery, but the most likely theory is that they're the result of Dr. Mario's lifelong efforts to find a cure for the common cold.
