Talk:Panel de Pon

Needed?
I'm actually not so sure if this article is needed. Doki Doki Panic introduced a lot of characters and game mechanics that are a recurring part of the Mario series today, so I think it deserves an article, but that doesn't go for Panel de Pon. Not any character from Panel de Pon became a Mario character, and this type of puzzle game titled Puzzle League outside of Japan today is also not common for the Mario series. Merge with Tetris Attack? --Grandy02 15:39, 27 August 2009 (EDT)
 * I don't think either of them deserve an article. I mean, while they were both the template for two Mario games, they don't have anything to do with the Mario franchise itself.
 * Doki Doki Panic was at least the debut for many Mario series characters and other elements like the vegetables. On the other hand, none of the fairies made it into Tetris Attack for SNES and Game Boy, neither was there another Panel de Pon/Puzzle League game starring Mario characters. If Tetris Attack did not exist, it wouldn't change much for the Mario series, while Super Mario Bros. 2 based on Doki Doki Panic had and has a notable impact on the franchise.--Grandy02 10:37, 5 June 2010 (EDT)
