Dr. Mario 64 (Gameplay)
Gameplay
Dr. Mario 64 plays the same as its predecessors for the most part. Dr. Mario throws vitamin capsules into a jar full of viruses, and the goal is to line up a minimum of four of a color combination of viruses and vitamins to make them disappear. There are three types of Viruses - the Red Virus (Fever), the Blue Virus (Chill) and the Yellow Virus (Weird), with a vitamin color designed to defeat them.
Dr. Mario 64 features many different modes of play (all of which have tutorials hosted by a Para-Goom). The player uses the 
to toggle with the different modes they wish to select. The first one is Classic mode, where Dr. Mario is playable like he was originally. In the second mode of play, Story mode, Dr. Mario or Wario must track down the stolen Megavitamins. This mode only has versus matches against computers. The third mode allows practice against a computer player, where any character found in Story mode can be selected. The fourth game mode is Flash mode, where only the clearing of flashing Viruses counts. The fifth game mode is Marathon mode, which is basically an endless mode (the Viruses never stop coming out of the bottom of the jar). The sixth game mode is Score Attack mode, where there are only three minutes to get both a high score and clear all of the viruses. Multiplayer mode supports up to four players, which adds a mode allowing four players to play on two teams (although teams are locked to P1/P2 vs P3/P4).
If the player battles against a CPU player, their difficulty is dependent on the selected character, which is indicated by the amount of stars under them. To increase the difficulty, hold 
and press 
to increase the difficulty level by one, or 
to increase the difficulty level by two.
Game Modes

If the player has defeated a specific opponent, they will be able to continue from that specific stage. If the player completes all 8 stages in Normal or higher difficulty without retrying, they will be able to play a 9th stage.
