Unlike Super Mario Run’s one-finger gameplay, Dr. Mario World requires you to drag a capsule onto the stage and matching three of the same color to eliminate viruses. You can tap a capsule to rotate it Tetris-style, use rainbow capsules to match any color, take advantage of special skills (each character has some unique skills to them) and more.
to make things progressively more difficult, different stages have different numbers of colored capsules so you must be careful not to run out of them. At the end of each stage, you’ll earn stars depending on how well you did and how many capsules you have left.

Nintendo has promised five worlds at launch, with more to come in future updates.
The game will be free to download, with an unobtrusive in-app purchase implementation focused on offering virtual coins, capsules and other boosters. Nintendo would obviously love you to purchase virtual diamonds via an in-game shop to do things like continue a stage, restore stamina, add new doctors to your roster and more.

You can pre-order Dr. Mario on App Store starting today.
Nintendo is also set tolaunch Super Mario Kart later this year, a free-to-start kart racer set in the Mushroom Kingdom (like its console counterpart) and developed in partnership with DeNA.
