Dr. Mario Vitamin Toss was an online Flash advergame published by Nintendo to promote Dr. Mario & Puzzle League for the Game Boy Advance. It was available to play on the game's official website,[1][dead link] as well as in the Nintendo Arcade section of nintendo.com.[2] The game departs from the puzzle-driven gameplay of the Dr. Mario series, but nevertheless still has in view defeating viruses using capsules.
Gameplay
There are three viruses of different colors—blue, yellow and red—each standing beside a vial containing fluid of the same color. Dr. Mario has to defeat the viruses by draining their vials completely using capsules.
To toss a pill somewhere, the player has to initiate a sliding cursor on a "Toss Meter" and stop it on a certain area on that meter as it moves back and forth. If the cursor lines up with a colored spot on the meter, Dr. Mario lands a pill in the vial with fluid of that color. In order to decrease the fluid in a vial, the pill has to match its color; if the player lands the wrong color, the fluid inside the vial increases instead, reviving the corresponding virus if it is already dead, or stays unaffected if the vial is full. A minimum of four pills are needed to fully drain a vial. To win, all three viruses have to be dead simultaneously. The end screen shows the time it took the player to beat the game and offers them to replay it or visit the "Dr. Mario / Puzzle League" website.
