Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition

Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is one of those games that sadly failed to make a meaningful impact on Western audiences. This is made all the more interesting when you consider that the RPG/Puzzler hybrid shares many similarities with Pokémon Shuffle - which has fared far better internationally - but nonetheless doesn't have the kind of brand power attached to that title. You can't fault GungHo Online Entertainment for trying, though, and to its credit, there's now a fairly sizable update that'll be adding more content to the game.

The update will be mostly centered around new transformations, though there are a few new enemy types that will be added in, as well. Here are the details about the new additions:

Double Mario

  • Main element: Fire
  • Secondary element: Fire
  • Skill: Double Attack (change Light and Heart drops to Fire drops)

Boomrang Mario

  • Main element: Water
  • Seconday element: Fire
  • Skill: Boomrang attack (Heals 3000HP for an ally, and changes Light drops to Heart drops)

Rock Mario

  • Main element: Wood
  • Secondary element: Light
  • Skill: Ground Rock Attack (slightly reduces damage received during 5 turns)

Gold Mario

  • Main element: Light
  • Secondary element: Light
  • Skill: Gold Shine (changes Tree drops into Light drops)

Metal Mario

  • Main element: Dark
  • Secondary element: Dark
  • Skill: Metal Walk (change Water drops into Dark drops)

Kamek (5 types)
