Nintendo's mobile game, Dr. Mario World, surpassed two million downloads in 72 hours, according to a report from Sensor Tower. Also estimated is $100,000 spent on in-app purchases in the title in the first 72 hours.
The number of downloads is just under half the 4.3 million downloads of Super Mario Run on iOS at launch. Fire Emblem Heroes saw 4.9 million downloads.
In terms of revenue, Dr. Mario World lags behind other Nintendo mobile titles. Fire Emblem Heroes took in $11.6 million and Super Mario Run earned $6.5 million.
Here is an overview of the game:
Use your puzzle skills to eliminate pesky viruses!
Match capsules with viruses and watch them disappear! Simply match three objects of the same color vertically or horizontally to clear them. Take your time, because each puzzling stage’s configuration of viruses must be cleared using a limited number of capsules.
Rid the world of viruses with Dr. Mario and friends!
A colorful cast of viruses has Dr. Mario’s world in a panic! Dr. Mario and friends have put on lab coats and grabbed capsules! Now they’re ready to eliminate those unruly viruses. Hundreds of stages over many different worlds need saving, with new worlds coming on a regular basis!
Play together with friends and family around the world!
You’re not in this alone—send and receive stamina-giving hearts to use in stage mode! Then, show off your puzzle-solving progress. In versus mode, you can challenge others to a one-on-one showdown!

Not impressive at all. The game itself is boring as can be and overloaded with microtransactions too. Won't be surprised nor sad to see it die out quickly.
The game includes literally everything that is bad about mobile gaming and very little that is good.
No surprises here... it looked like a flop from the day it was announced. Considering how poorly some of their mobile titles perform (compared to their actual console releases) I am mighty curious if Mario Kart will manage to do good numbers.
Is it good ? I mean for this type of puzzle game on a mobile ?
