Puzzle Panic is one of Yoshi's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS. It is a more difficult version of Puzzle Panel.

The minigame's music is different from Puzzle Panel's, being the theme "Lethal Lava Land" instead. Although, Puzzle Panel in New Super Mario Bros. uses the same music as well.

Gameplay[edit]

The gameplay is similar to that of Puzzle Panel, with one difference being that it starts with a larger grid of panels every time. The player must match the Touch Screen picture to the one shown on the top screen, as both pictures are made of a grid of panels with Mushrooms on one side and Cape Feathers on the other. Touching a panel with Stylus causes the former to turn over, along with the surrounding panels. The player has three chances on each level. If the panels are turned incorrectly, the two Yoshi Sphinxes on the left and right react in alarm; if the panels are correctly turned, the Yoshi Sphinxes blast off, and the player advances to the next level. Later levels take more turns to solve as the player proceeds. If the player fails to match the picture correctly three times, the minigame ends.
