There are three red, yellow and blue [[virus]]es, each standing in front of a vial containing fluid of the same color. The object of the game is to defeat the viruses by tossing Megavitamin pills into the vials of the corresponding color. To throw a pill, the player has to initiate a sliding cursor on a "Toss Meter" and stop it; if it lines up with a portion on the meter of the same color as a vial, [[Dr. Mario]] throws a pill into that vial. If the color of the pill matches with the fluid insuide the vial, it decreases it, but if it does not match, the fluid increases instead, or stays unaffected if the vial is already full.

 

Four pills are necessary to drain all the fluid inside a vial and defeat the corresponding virus, though the virus can be revived if the wrong pill is tossed in its vial afterwards. To win the game, all three viruses need to be defeated. The end screen shows the player the time it took to beat the game and offers them to replay it or visit the "''Dr. Mario / Puzzle League''" website.
