One of the most popular mobile games right now is Puzzle & Dragons.  In it, you match up symbols like in Bejeweled which turn into elemental attacks for fighting monsters.  So it has a bit of a Puzzle Quest vibe to it, too.  Puzzle & Dragons has many imitators, some of which I’ve even reviewed.  Anyway, the cool thing is that Nintendo is going to be releasing a version of Puzzle & Dragons soon on the 3DS called Puzzle & Dragons Z.  Best of all is it’ll also have a separate game: a version of Puzzle & Dragons starring Mario characters!  That got me to thinking about how many other puzzle games feature Mario & friends, so here’s a blog about it!
