Puzzle Panel
Puzzle Panel is one of Yoshi's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and a Puzzle minigame in New Super Mario Bros. It is based on the game Lights Out. A harder version of the minigame called Puzzle Panic also appears in Super Mario 64 DS as one of Yoshi's minigames.
Gameplay
The player must match the Touch Screen picture with the top screen picture. Both pictures are made of a grid of panels with Mushrooms on the front and Cape Feathers on the back. Touching a panel with the stylus will cause it to flip over, along with the surrounding panels. If the panels are flipped correctly, the two Yoshi statues on the left and right blast off, and the player advances to the next level. Later levels will take more flips, or "turns," to complete. On each level, the player has three chances. If the player fails to match the two pictures correctly three times, the minigame ends.
In multiplayer, this game is timed for 30 seconds. If the panels are flipped incorrectly, one point will be lost; if they are correctly flipped, the player will earn one point and move to the next level. When the timer reaches zero, the player with the most points wins.
