''Dr. Mario''{{'}}s gameplay sees Dr. Mario periodically throw Megavitamins into a prescription bottle. Afterwards, the player can move and land them on Viruses, which spawn throughout the bottle. By [[wikipedia:Tile-matching video game|connecting a line of three or more]] halves of Megavitamins to a Virus of the corresponding color, the Virus disintegrates. As such, blue Megavitamins eliminate Chill Viruses (blue), red Megavitamins eliminate Fever Viruses (red), and yellow Megavitamins eliminate Weird Viruses (yellow). Removing all of the Viruses on the screen advances the player to the next level. | ''Dr. Mario''{{'}}s gameplay sees Dr. Mario periodically throw Megavitamins into a prescription bottle.
