Stage mode is the mode players first start through and requires players to fulfill various objectives in order to clear stages. The most common objective is to eliminate viruses, though other objectives are include obtaining [[Virus Coin]]s hidden in Brick Blocks. Stages are grouped into worlds, beginning with five – which are in order grass-, desert-, beach-, ghost-, and sky-themed – with more to be added in the future.<ref name=Overview/> Each world has two areas, which have 20 stages in each area. Each world also has its own set of challenge stages, in which players need to clear the stage before the time limit runs out, except for the last world where the challenge stages are not timed. Unlike the prior ''Dr. Mario'' games, players are limited to a certain amount of capsules per stage.<ref name=Overview/> | Stage mode is the mode players first start through and requires players to fulfill various objectives in order to clear stages.

In order to play a stage, the player needs to have at least one [[Heart (item)|heart]]. A heart is regained automatically every 30 minutes, although players can purchase hearts with [[diamond]]s or clear a stage for a free heart (prior to version 2.3.0, only clearing uncleared stages will reward a heart). Since version 2.4.0, players who made at least one in-app purchase prior to that version have unlimited hearts. In the first 20 stages, players have an infinite number of hearts; afterwards, players are granted a max number of 10 hearts (5 hearts prior to version 2.3.0) where if they have less than that amount each heart takes 30 minutes to refill. Diamonds can also be used to obtain items, obtain new doctors and assistants, and to continue a stage should a player failed to clear the objective after running out of capsules or time (although only two continues are allowed per attempt).<ref name=Overview/> Diamonds can be purchased through the app with real money.<ref name=Overview/>. Two version of continues are available: one of them provides five capsules or 15 seconds of time for the cost of 10 diamonds, while the other provides eight capsules or 30 seconds of time for 15 diamonds. | In order to play a stage, the player needs to have at least one [[Heart (item)|heart]].

Due to the shutdown announcement on July 27th 2021, all microtransactioms were immediately removed from the game, and if the player made any purchase with real money they would recieve unlimited hearts for the rest of the game's lifespan until it closed on November 1st 2021. | ||
When a player clears a stage, they earn coins, a heart, and a number of stars depending on how many capsules are left when they have cleared; they can earn a max number of three stars for the best score. Coins are only rewarded if the player has not obtained the star(s) yet, while hearts were not rewarded for cleared stages prior to version 2.3.0. If a player retries or fails a stage too many times, Dr. Toad provides the player with extra capsules or time to the player (previously he uses a free [[hammer]] on a tile for the player), giving 3 extra capsules or 9 extra seconds in the process. This amount increases in number the more they failed to complete that stage. Since version 2.0.0, diamond offers for 3 items for the price of 2 will appear (boomerangs, skill fillers and Capsule+ in this order based on the amount of times failed). | When a player clears a stage, they earn coins, a heart, and a number of stars depending on how many capsules are left when they have cleared; they can earn a max number of three stars for the best score.
