Viruses could come with new gimmicks in ''Dr. Mario World'', such as being frozen in [[ice]], encased in [[bubble]]s, protected by cages that could be unlocked with [[lock block]]s, or hidden by [[Cloud (object)|cloud]]s and [[dust virus|dust]]. A variant called the [[floatie virus]] could teleport away from a matched pill to another location on the grid. Unlike the other ''Dr. Mario'' games where a match of four in a row or column involving capsules are required to eliminate them, the viruses in this game required a capsule match of three in a row or column to eliminate (such as two viruses and one capsule piece of matching color).

Videos for ''Dr. Mario World'' feature Red, Blue, and Yellow. One of the three can wander onto the screen, and comment on the features of the game. The Virus(es) involved usually change between segments of a video. They also sometimes got eliminated to line up with the events on the screen. Sometimes, the events of the screen affect them more literally, such as a [[Shell]] pushing Red off the screen or [[Luma|Dr. Luma]]'s skill warping Red upward on the screen. "The Welcome to Dr. Mario World" and "Dr. Mario World Multiplayer Introduction" videos have more involvement from them, sometimes having more than one Virus commentating and using voice acting as in the ''Virus Vid'' series. The transitions for all of these videos used footage from ''Virus Vid'', modified to reflect the content.  The rebranding of the videos starting from August 2020 removed this element. The characters also communicated on the social media accounts of ''Dr. Mario World''.

Viruses are contagious, to the point that one of them can multiply to fill an entire glass jar within seconds. According to the Nintendo Comics system, each virus has unique abilities that correspond with their names: red viruses can manipulate heat, blue viruses can manipulate cold, and yellow viruses can transform people into different shapes and species, which is referred to as "weirdness". In the ''Mario and Luigi'' series, viruses are able to change their color when attacked, and are shown to wield spears. When a virus is in a line with a minimum of three viruses or capsules of the same color, of which there is at least one capsule, all of them are eliminated. This property can vary depending on the game, either reducing the numerical requirement, detecting adjacency rather than a line, or not requiring a capsule.
