List of mascot characters

A **mascot** is a character that moves around the edges of the screen in the *Panel de Pon* series. They react to the player's actions such as getting a chain, winning (in which they shout upon completion, though only in the first game) or losing a stage. The only instance in which they won't appear in a character's stage is in the VS. mode. Sometimes the main characters can be seen in place of the mascot characters; in Thanatos and Bowser's stage clear stage, Lip or Furil (depending on the game) and Yoshi take the place of the mascot characters respectively, and they'll react similarly to what is happening on screen. They will still use their exclusive chain voice lines.

## Panel de Pon (SFC) & Panel de Pon GB

The only official descriptions available are for the mascots from the original *Panel de Pon* via the Official *Panel de Pon* website. These mascot characters also appear in the code of *Pokemon Puzzle Challenge* along with the fairies, and were planned to be used in the original version of the game in the stage clear intro screens.

### Watabou the Fluffy

> "*On the title screen, this fuzzy critter can be seen dangling Lip the flower fairy from its tail. It's fluffy and very soft to the touch, so taking naps with it feels really good!*"

Watabou is the only mascot from the original *Panel de Pon* without artwork. Instead, it reuses its in-game sprite. Watabou is not a mascot within any location in Popples.

Pupuri's Background can be seen by selecting Background 16 in the options menu.
