Puzzle Panel is one ofYoshi'sminigames inSuper Mario 64 DS and a Puzzle minigame inNew Super Mario Bros. It is based on the gameLights Out.

The minigame's music is the same theme used inMix-a-Mug inSuper Mario 64 DS, whereas the music used inNew Super Mario Bros. is the theme "Lethal Lava Land" instead.

A harder version of the minigame calledPuzzle Panic also appears inSuper Mario 64 DS as one of Yoshi's minigames.

Gameplay[edit]

The player must match the Touch Screen picture with the top screen picture. Both pictures are made of a grid of panels withMushrooms on the front andCape Feathers on the back. Touching a panel with thestylus causes the former to flip over, along with the surrounding panels. If the panels are flipped correctly, the twoYoshi Sphinxes on the left and right blast off, and the player advances to the next level. Later levels take two or three flips, or "turns," to complete. On each level, the player has three chances. The highest score the player can obtain by clearing the levels is 9,999; the minigame continues after that, but the score counter and level number do not increase.[1] If the player fails to match the two pictures correctly three times, theminigame ends.

In multiplayer, this minigame is timed for 60 seconds. If the panels are flipped incorrectly, onepoint is lost (it is possible to score below zero) and the two Yoshi Sphinxes react in alarm; if the panels are correctly flipped, the player earns one point and moves to the next level. When the timer reaches zero, the player with the most points wins.
