Puzzle & Dragons Z + Super Mario Bros. Edition is a 2015 role-playing puzzle game for Nintendo 3DS developed by GungHo Online Entertainment. It is a compilation of Puzzle & Dragons Z and Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition from the Puzzle & Dragons series for North America and Europe. Before the bundled game was announced, the first game Puzzle & Dragons Z (パズドラZ, Pazudora Z) was released in Japan on December 12, 2013, and Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (パズル＆ドラゴンズ スーパーマリオブラザーズ エディション, Pazuru & Doragonzu Sūpā Mario Burazāzu Edishon) was released in Japan on April 29, 2015.[1] The bundled game was released in May 2015 for NA and PAL regions.[2]

Development

On May 3, 2013, GungHo revealed a spin-off for the Nintendo 3DS named Puzzle & Dragons Z (パズドラZ, Pazudora Zetto) during the Puzzle & Dragons Fan Appreciation Festival 2013. 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]

Reception

IGN's Kallie Plagge awarded the game a score of 7.9 out of 10, stating Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition is the shining star alongside the less successful Z."[9] It has a score of 73 out of 100 on Metacritic.[8]
