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.
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.
