Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros.

Edition, available only on Nintendo 3DS family systems. In a single

package containing both games, explore dungeons, command monsters and

master all types of elemental Orbs to defeat the enemy hordes!




Puzzle & Dragons Z features a full story to get stuck into, over

250 types of enemy to recruit from, and an in-depth system for evolving

and enhancing your monsters! You can also keep the adventure fresh in

Puzzle & Dragons Z with exciting new content to unlock, and rare

monsters to collect!

• Story - Puzzle & Dragons Z takes place in the
  
  land of Dracomacia, where you are a new Dragon Tamer, one of only a
  
  handful of people able to control monsters using Orb energy. After
  
  you’re recruited into the Rangers, an organisation that researches
  
  dragons, there’s barely pause for breath, as an evil force called
  
  Paradox takes control of the five Skydragons, breaking Dracomacia apart!
  
  Save the Skydragons; save the world!
• Match-three gameplay - Set off on adventure and
  
  search deep, dark dungeons, picking your route at branching paths.
  
  You’ll also encounter enemies aplenty, battling them with your own team
  
  of six monsters by matching three or more elemental Orbs of the same
  
  type; move Orbs around the screen freely within the time limit to make
  
  the most of each move.
• Orbs & Attributes - There are five types of
  
  elemental Orbs, each with a different attribute: Fire, Wood, Water, Dark
  
  and Light. Strategy is the key – Fire beats Wood, Wood beats Water,
  
  Water beats Fire, while Dark and Light cancel each other out, letting
  
  you deal greater damage or defend against strong attacks. As remaining
  
  elemental Orbs drop into new spaces, you can trigger chain-attack Combos
  
  that increase your hit power!
  
  
  Watch out for Heart Orbs, which replenish health, and shiny Z-Orbs,
  
  which deal triple damage once cleared. You’ll need great command over
  
  all manner of Orbs if you hope to defeat the boss lurking at the end of
  
  each dungeon!
• Building your team - In Puzzle & Dragons Z
  
  there are over 250 types of enemy to recruit from, including dragons,
  
  knights and even demons. Each has different statistics, such as health,
  
  attack power and recovery ability, as well as one of various battle
  
  Skills, like special moves, defence boosts, and status changes. You can
  
  level your monsters up through experience points earned in battle, and
  
  also use Chips dropped by enemies to evolve your monsters, making them
  
  more powerful. Keep your eyes open for enemy eggs after skirmishes, as
  
  you can hatch them into new monsters, too.
• Team leaders and Helpers - Part of the strategy of
  
  Puzzle & Dragons is in choosing the right team for the challenge at
  
  hand! When you're putting your team together, make sure you look
  
  carefully at the Skills and abilities of your monsters – especially
  
  their 'Leader Skills'. In each team you'll need to assign a team leader
  
  and a Helper, and the Leader Skills of these particular monsters could
  
  make or break your strategy! Leader Skills can range from granting
  
  attack bonuses for a certain attribute, or increasing your attack
  
  multiplier once you've reached a certain Combo number – powerful stuff!
• Connect and Unlock - In this title you can
  
  exchange your Tamer Card with others via StreetPass or local wireless.
  
  This lets you use another player’s team leader as a Helper in your game.
  
  Puzzle & Dragons Z also features stacks of extra content, including
  
  downloadable relics to open special dungeons, where rare monsters
  
  reside, and codes to earn special Helpers!

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is a streamlined

experience set in the Mushroom Kingdom which features over 80 beloved

characters that Mario fans are sure to recognise. It's up to you and

your team to save Princess Peach from the clutches of that baddie

Bowser!

• Story - Step into a unique Mushroom Kingdom adventure!
  
  
  One fine day in the Mushroom Kingdom, odd Orbs begin to appear all
  
  around Princess Peach's castle. Ever the practical type, Peach invites
  
  Mario over to take a look at these unexpected, objects – but suddenly,
  
  Peach is kidnapped by Bowser! The King of the Koopas and his gang head
  
  out on a wild rampage, which sets the land overflowing with the strange
  
  Orbs... There's nothing for it, you've got to save Peach, defeat Bowser,
  
  and put the Mushroom Kingdom to rights!
• Mario Worlds - Across eight Mushroom Kingdom
  
  worlds, each with various courses, you’ll experience colourful,
  
  match-three fun, as you encounter Yoshi, Toad and other favourites. If
  
  you're a Mario fan you're sure to feel right at home, making your way
  
  through the courses of each world before finally getting to the castle
  
  at the end. Along the way you'll collect tons of useful items, head into
  
  Toad Houses, and more! Just like in classic Mario titles, there are
  
  alternative routes through the worlds to discover – but you'll need to
  
  master those strange Orbs if you plan on finding them all!
• Match-three Battles - Puzzle & Dragons: Super
  
  Mario Bros. Edition has the same match-three gameplay heart as Puzzle
  
  & Dragons Z. You'll create a team of six allies, then deal damage to
  
  your foes in puzzle battles by matching three or more Orbs of the same
  
  type on the Touch Screen.
  
  
  Once you touch an Orb, and start moving it around the screen, you've
  
  only got a certain amount of time before your move ends – create as many
  
  matches as you can, and clear as many Orbs as possible from the screen!
  
  Any spaces left by your marvellous matches will be quickly filled by
  
  Orbs that fall down from the top of the screen, which can trigger Combos
  
  and increase the power of your attacks!
• Elemental Orbs & Attributes - There are five
  
  types of elemental Orbs, each with a different attribute: Fire, Wood,
  
  Water, Dark and Light. Strategy is the key – Fire beats Wood, Wood beats
  
  Water, Water beats Fire, while Dark and Light cancel each other out,
  
  letting you deal greater damage or defend against strong attacks. Watch
  
  out for Heart Orbs, which replenish health, and shiny Z-Orbs, which deal
  
  triple damage once cleared.
• Building your team - If you're victorious in
  
  battle, your foe might drop a helpful item, or even a ? Block containing
  
  a creature who'll join you on your quest. Once this new ally is in your
  
  roster, you can add them to your team whenever you like. There are over
  
  80 familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom to recruit, including
  
  Goombas, Toads, Cheep Cheeps and more. If you've ever wanted a Koopa
  
  troop of your own, now's the time!
• Team leaders and Helpers - Part of the strategy of
  
  Puzzle & Dragons is in choosing the right team for the challenge at
  
  hand. When you're putting your team together, make sure you look
  
  carefully at the Skills and abilities of your allies – especially their
  
  'Leader Skills'. In each team you'll need to assign a team leader and a
  
  Helper, and the Leader Skills of these particular allies could make or
  
  break your strategy! Leader Skills can range from granting attack
  
  bonuses for a certain attribute, or increasing your attack multiplier
  
  once you've reached a certain number of Combos – powerful stuff!
• Connect via StreetPass - In Puzzle & Dragons:
  
  Super Mario Bros Edition you can exchange your Player Card with others
  
  via StreetPass or local wireless. This lets you use another player’s
  
  team leader as a Helper in your game!

Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros.

Edition is a double-whammy of exciting, match-three action that's sure

to satisfy puzzle and RPG fans alike, only on Nintendo 3DS family

systems.
