Panel de Pon DS

## Chotto Panel de Pon

Title Screen

***Panel de Pon DS*** (パネルでポンDS) (known as ***Planet Puzzle League*** in the United States and ***Puzzle League DS*** in Europe) is a game for the Nintendo DS, which eventually spawned a watered-down port for the DSiWare service in the form of ***Chotto Panel de Pon*** (ちょっとパネルでポン) (known as ***A** **Little Bit of… Puzzle League*** in PAL regions and ***Puzzle League Express*** in North America) which removed any multiplayer functionality.

*Panel de Pon DS* and it's DSiWare port are the only games in the series to incorporate touch controls. Japanese reviewers criticized this game for the lack of fairies or other characters, and the game was criticized elsewhere for the slow pacing of the game (even when set on the highest difficulty). Unlike previous installments, this game uses a techno motif for its aesthetics instead of the former fairy-based aesthetic.

## Version Differences

### Stages swapped

The FILMS and One Drop themes are swapped as the first and second themes respectively in the International versions.

### Lip's Stage

Lip returns to the series after being absent since the Satellaview Event '98 release. However, this stage is exclusive to the Japanese version, so you must use a cheating device to access her stage in the North American and PAL releases of the game. This stage is a simple port of the graphics from the first game in the series, with minor modifications to the trees due to the extra screen real estate of the Nintendo DS. The stage takes place in the Fairy World accompanied by Lip and Furifuri. The chains no longer affect the characters on the screen, so Lip's mouth does not move and Furifuri no longer flips. Lip also uses a new voice clip for making a chain, but doesn't speak after doing longer chains.

* Conditions to unlock Lip's Stage in *Panel de Pon DS*:
	+ Get 10,000 points in Endless, Score Attack and Garbage Challenge (This is the name of Garbage Attack in this game).
	+ Complete all Stage Clear Stages
	+ Beat Vs. COM on Hard, Level 10 (Items on or off does not matter)

The game won't notify you when you have met the conditions, so you'll have to utilize the stage select mode in order to check whether you've unlocked the theme or not. Lip's Stage is the last stage in the stage select.

### DsiWare differences

* In the DSiWare version, the Puzzle Modes, Daily Play, Wireless, and Stats are unavailable, while VS. COM only allows you to play Garbage Attack. There is also a volume slider on the bottom-left of the top screen. The title screen includes a help button at the bottom right side of the screen when utilizing the vertical screen orientation.

In Stage Clear, stages 3 and 4 go straight to the 4th and 5th background respectively, and stages 5 and 6 start back at the first 2 backgrounds in the game.
The conditions in this version is also different.
