''Dr. Mario'' mostly resembles the [[Nintendo 64]] version, ''Dr. Mario 64''. Much like the earlier ''Dr. Mario'' games, a [[capsule|vitamin]] match of four or more of the same color in a line (either a row or a column) that include any [[virus]]es will be cleared. In the multiplayer modes, if a match of two or more lines are made in a move, up to four garbage (depending on amount of lines cleared) are sent to their opponent, and the colors of the garbage are determined by the lines cleared. Like ''[[Dr. Wario]]'', the unlockable minigame from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', its bottle is 13 cells tall instead of the standard 16.

*'''Classic''': Clear all the viruses in the bottle. Clearing level 5, 10, 15, or 20 in either Med or High speed will result in a short intermission where the three viruses sit on a tree while something flies over them. The flying objects are the same as found in the original ''Dr. Mario''. | *'''Classic''': Clear all the viruses in the bottle.

Both games have a Vertical Mode that can be unlocked, where one tilts the Game Boy Advance 90° counterclockwise to play, allowing for a higher resolution of the playing field. The controls using the D-pad is changed to account for the different view, while the controls for the other buttons remain the same. To unlock Vertical Mode for each game, the ending must be reached individually, meaning that unlocking for one game doesn't unlock it for the other. For ''Dr. Mario'', this involves beating level 20 in Classic, while for ''Puzzle League'', it involves either reaching a score of at least 10000 in Marathon, completing level 6-5 in Line mode, or completing 6-10 in Puzzle mode. Classic is the only mode available for ''Dr. Mario'', while for ''Puzzle League'', three of the six modes are only available: Marathon, Timed, and Garbage. For ''Dr. Mario'', the only thing in display is the field, meaning that the stage information like the score, the amount of viruses left, and the speed are not shown. However, the stage information is shown in all available modes in ''Puzzle League''. | Both games have a Vertical Mode that can be unlocked, where one tilts the Game Boy Advance 90° counterclockwise to play, allowing for a higher resolution of the playing field.
