''Dr. Mario World'' takes advantage of the touchscreen controls of the smartphone, where players dragged [[capsule]]s with the touchscreen to eliminate [[virus]]es, though the core gameplay is slightly tweaked in comparison to prior ''Dr. Mario'' titles in that players solved puzzles with a limited number of capsules rather than infinite capsules against a time limit. New gameplay elements include three introduced colors of viruses: green, light-blue, and pink viruses, which occur mixed in the regular red, blue, and yellow viruses later in the game. ''Dr. Mario World'' features the debut of playable ''Mario'' characters as doctors than prior ''Dr. Mario'' games. These doctors have special abilities which help clear levels more easily. In addition, doctors can be paired with a wide variety of assistants, which constitute primarily of generic ''Mario'' enemies. As well as having a single player mode, ''Dr. Mario World'' introduces a competitive versus mode, where players battled against opponents online in a gameplay style similar to the traditional ''Dr. Mario'' games.
