'''''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''''' ('''''Nintendo パズルコレクション''''') is a 2003 puzzle video game compilation published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. The game contains remakes or ports of three Nintendo-published puzzle games: Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Cookie, and Panel de Pon. All copies of Nintendo Puzzle Collection were bundled with a GCN-GBA cable to take advantage of the game's ability to download simplified versions of its games to a Game Boy Advance console.
'''''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''''' ('''''Nintendo パズルコレクション''''') is a 2003 puzzle video game compilation published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. The game contains remakes or ports of three Nintendo-published puzzle games: For the GameCube itself, the remakes and ports are ''Dr. Mario 64'', ''[https://lostmediawiki.com/Panel_de_Pon_64_(lost_build_of_unreleased_Nintendo_64_sequel_to_Super_Famicom_puzzle_game;_1999-2000) Panel de Pon 64]'', and a brand-new sequel to ''Yoshi's Cookie'' that have yet to receive a full official English release as of February 2024.
 
All copies of Nintendo Puzzle Collection were bundled with a GCN-GBA cable to take advantage of the game's ability to download simplified versions of its games to a Game Boy Advance console. Those are ''Dr. Mario (NES)'', ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]] (NES)'' (both with their 2-player functions removed), and a GBA-specific ''Panel de Pon'' version that would later be fleshed out in ''Dr. Mario & Puzzle League'' two years later, albeit with some visual and audio effects not carried over.
 
== Emulation Information ==
=== Game Boy Advance ↔ GameCube Connectivity ===
This is a GBA Connectivity title that supports multiple GBA connections and downloadable minigames. In order to access the downloadable minigames, Controller Port 2, 3, or 4 must have a GBA controller (Integrated or TCP) attached and running the GBA BIOS. Then go to the lower right option of the main menu and select which game to send.
 
In order to play the main game using a GBA controller, simply set a GBA to Controller Port 1 and the connection process will begin. Additional GBA controllers can be used and will start the connection process once one of the three main games are selected.

== Problems ==
=== Lock ups with DirectX ===
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|
In D3D some computers will experience severe lock ups in transition areas and loading screens. The lock ups generally last for 3-5 seconds and display 0fps, then the game will resume. It may be limited to only nVidia or AMD cards, but the exact pattern is uncertain. If you encounter the error, use the OpenGL graphics backend. See {{issue|6275}}.
 
=== <s>DirectX Lock Ups</s> ===
Due to the lack of an EFB Peek Cache on D3D, the game locks up during transitions in Panel De Pon. See {{Issue|6275}} and {{Issue|6572}}. Fixed by {{revision|5.0-9638}}.
