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, 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.
