Dr. Mario World was among the mobile games Nintendo ventured into in 2019. It took its notable games such as Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, Super Mario, and Animal Crossing to mobile, seeing how lucrative the mobile gaming market is compared to consoles. However, it didn't translate to much success, as critics pointed out how predatory Nintendo's mobile games' microtransactions were. Hence, in June 2020, Nintendo announced that they will be stepping back from their investments in the mobile gaming market. The shut down of of this game shows how drastic the situation has been for some of Nintendo's mobile games.
