There are three viruses of different colors—blue, yellow and red—each standing beside a vial containing fluid of the same color. [[Dr. Mario]] has to defeat the viruses by draining their vials completely using capsules. To toss a pill somewhere, the player has to initiate a sliding cursor on a "Toss Meter" and, as it moves back and forth, stop it on a certain area on that meter. If the cursor lines up with a colored spot on the meter, Dr. Mario lands a pill in the vial with fluid of that color. In order to decrease the fluid in a vial, the pill has to match its color; if the player lands the wrong color, the fluid inside the vial increases instead, reviving the corresponding virus if it is already dead, or stays unaffected if the vial is full. A minimum of four pills are needed to fully drain a vial. To win, all three viruses have to be dead simultaneously. The end screen shows the time it took the player to beat the game and offers them to replay it or visit the "''Dr. Mario / Puzzle League''" website.
Three viruses, lined up near [[Dr. Mario]], are each standing in front of a transparent tube containing fluid of the same color as the virus—blue, yellow and red. Dr. Mario's goal is to defeat all three viruses by tossing colored Megavitamin pills in the fluid of the corresponding color. Tossing a pill is done by clicking the "Launch" button on a meter, which causes a cursor to move along it, then clicking on "Stop" to toss the pill where the cursor indicates. If the cursor hits a blank space on the meter, Dr. Mario will misthrow the pill. If the cursor lines with a color that matches the pill with the virus it destroys, the pill will be tossed in the correct tube, decreasing the fluid inside. However, should the colors not match, the fluid will increase, or stay unaffected if the tube is already full.

Four pills are necessary to drain all the fluid inside a tube and defeat the corresponding virus, though it can be brought back to life if the wrong pill is tossed in its tube. The game is won after all viruses are defeated simultaneously. A stopwatch at the corner of the screen measures the time it took to eliminate all viruses, and the result is displayed on the end screen, which also congratulates the player and offers them to replay the game or visit the "''Dr. Mario / Puzzle League''" website.
