The game was released in Japan on December 12, 2013.[3] Gameplay is identical to the mobile game, but it adds RPG elements such as towns and NPCs. As of July 30, 2014, the game had shipped over 1.5 million copies.[4]

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition for the Nintendo 3DS features characters from the Super Mario series in gameplay similar to that from Puzzle & Dragons Z, including an overworld and story. It was released on April 29, 2015, in Japan as a standalone title.[5]

The bundled game for North America, Europe, Australia, and South Korea was first announced on January 14, 2015 and was released on May 22, 2015.[6]

The Nintendo eShop has an exclusive pre-purchase bonus by adding a special downloadable creature which is provided by online code found on the electronic receipt after purchase.[7]
