As with previous ''Dr. Mario'' games, the main and most common objective is to eliminate all of the viruses on the screen by connecting capsules of the same color to each of them, although instead of the capsules descending, the game's gravity is directed upwards with the viruses positioned towards the top of the screen. The player first drags a capsule from the bottom of the screen onto the field to use it, and the player can drag it again to move it or increase its "falling" speed, or tap it to rotate it horizontally or vertically; if there is an open space for the capsule to fit through, the player can drag the capsule towards that open space as well. Viruses are eliminated if three (as opposed to four) or more of the same color are matched.<ref name=Overview>Nintendo Mobile (June 17, 2019).

Players earn a rainbow capsule if they make seven matches that eliminate viruses; these rainbow capsules can be used in tandem with pills of any color to eliminate viruses, though they take up only one tile on the screen.

Depending on the stage, various obstacles may appear on the field, including [[Empty Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s, and viruses can be hidden inside the Brick Blocks. Helpful objects such as [[shell]]s, [[exploder]]s, and [[skill charger]]s can also appear among the viruses. When matched with capsules of the same color, the helpful objects help out the player: Shells clear out viruses within the same row, exploders eliminate surrounding viruses, and skill chargers significantly fill the doctor's skill meter.
