Line 7:
The original ''Panel de Pon'' came out for the SNES in 1996, along with a Game Boy version. The plot ([[Excuse Plot|such as it was]]) starred a fairy named Lip trying to rescue her friends. Since no self-respecting gamer would buy a game featuring 'girly girls' in those days, Nintendo decided to do the infamous palette and name swap, the same way they did to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The US version was [[Dolled-Up Installment]] as ''[[Tetris Attack]],'' with identical gameplay but with a ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'' theme, a few extra options and character profiles, and ''nothing to do with Tetris at all''. It later saw two ''[[Pokémon]]''-themed reskinnings: ''Pokémon Puzzle League,'' for the N64, introduced a "3D" mode with a cylinder of blocks instead of a stack, and ''Pokémon Puzzle Challenge,'' which was almost a proto-''[[Puzzle Quest]].'' It had "battles" between Pokémon played out in puzzle matches, and some adventuring on the side. The name "Puzzle League" stuck: A Game Boy Advance compilation release (along with ''Dr. Mario'') simply entitled it "Puzzle League," as did the DS version.
A sequel, also called ''Panel de Pon'', was one of the games in the Japan-only ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''.
Aside from a [[Super Smash Bros.]] cameo, Lip has been nowhere to be seen in puzzle land for quite some time. She did, however, show up as a character in ''[[Captain Rainbow]].''▼
