	Stage 121	Dr. Yoshi Dr. Toad	Starting with 21 capsules, the objective of this stage is to eliminate all viruses (21). This stage introduces dust viruses, which are viruses that are hidden in dust until a capsule lands next to it or an adjacent object is destroyed. If a valid match is made even though viruses in dust are not revealed, it will still be eliminated. This stage is shaped like a ghost, with exploders shaping its eyes. Some Brick Blocks are present in this stage. Surrounding the layout on the top and sides are Empty Blocks.
	Stage 122	Dr. Donkey Kong Dr. Luigi	Starting with 28 capsules, the objective of this stage is to eliminate all viruses (29). The only colors available in this stage are red and green. In this stage, there is a path of viruses interspersed with dust viruses. A red lock block is located between two Brick Blocks, which will unlock red cages containing viruses and a green lock block. The green cages contain viruses and Brick Blocks. Prior to March 18, 2021, the stage layout was different. The following changes were made: Capsule amount is reduced from 34 to 28. The available colors are changed to red and green only. All Empty Blocks are replaced with Brick Blocks.

	Stage 123	Dr. Ludwig Dr. Waluigi	Starting with 30 capsules, the objective of this stage is to eliminate all viruses (33). In this stage, viruses are lined up along the sides, top and a row near the bottom, with most of them being half-frozen. In the middle, dust viruses are found above Brick Blocks. Two shells are located on the rightmost column. Prior to March 18, 2021, the stage layout was different. The following changes were made: Capsule amount is reduced from 33 to 30.

Five more viruses including a dust virus are surrounded by Brick Blocks, and the Brick Blocks initially found in the third row contain hidden viruses. After the stage scrolled up far enough, there are viruses in cages with hidden viruses in Brick Blocks found to the left and below of the group. The lock block is hidden in the Brick Block in the third row at the seventh column after the stage scrolled up all the way. This stage will scroll for one line each time enough objects are cleared or enough capsules are added to the stage and will stop after 5 lines are introduced. When cleared, the rest of the first area in the world map gets cleared of viruses. Players also obtain 500 coins upon completing this stage. Prior to version 1.3.5, the stage layout was different.
