《神奇寶貝 超不可思議的迷宮》（Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon）是由Spike Chunsoft開發，並由任天堂與The Pokémon Company於2015年在Nintendo 3DS平台發行的角色扮演遊戲。是《神奇寶貝不可思議的迷宮》系列的最新作，延續傳統的隨機生成迷宮探索玩法，並加入更多可操作的寶可夢與豐富的劇情內容，使其成為系列中規模最大、內容最豐富的作品。

主角是來自人類世界的孩子，某天醒來發現身在陌生的森林中，透過水邊的倒影發現自己突然變成寶可夢，所有的記憶也都消失。這個世界完全由寶可夢組成，人類並不存在。故事開始時，會從20種寶可夢（包括皮卡丘、火球鼠、木守宮、妙蛙種子等）中選擇一種作為自己的化身，並選擇一隻夥伴寶可夢共同冒險。

遊戲的核心圍繞著一個神秘的危機—世界各地的寶可夢開始石化，沒有人知道背後的真正原因。為找出真相，決定和夥伴加入「探險隊」，開始探索不同的迷宮，並與眾多傳說寶可夢和幻之寶可夢相遇，例如超夢、帝牙盧卡、帕路奇亞等。隨著故事的發展，將發現企圖威脅整個寶可夢世界的陰謀，並最終與幕後黑手展開最終對決，拯救世界。

故事深度較以往作品更加豐富，涉及友情、勇氣與自我發現等主題。許多劇情轉折讓玩家感受到情感上的起伏，特別是最後的結局充滿感動，是系列中劇情最完整、最具情感張力的作品之一。

本作延續《不可思議的迷宮》系列的經典玩法，採用回合制戰鬥系統，在迷宮內移動一步，敵人也會同步行動。戰鬥仍然基於寶可夢的屬性相剋機制，例如水系克制火系、電系克制水系等，因此選擇合適的寶可夢隊伍並善用不同技能是戰鬥的關鍵。

最多可以帶領三隻寶可夢進入迷宮，每個寶可夢擁有四個可使用的技能，技能的威力、命中率與PP值（技能點數）都會影響戰鬥結果。此外，新增「環環連結」（Alliance Attack）系統，允許隊伍內的所有寶可夢同時發動攻擊，使戰鬥更加戰略化，特別是在面對強大敵人或BOSS時非常有用。

另一個重要的戰鬥機制是「進化」與「覺醒」，某些寶可夢在戰鬥中可以觸發進化，例如妙蛙種子可以進化成妙蛙草，再進化成妙蛙花，能體驗到不同型態的變化。而「覺醒」則是讓寶可夢進入強化狀態，臨時提升能力，使其更容易擊敗敵人。

主要的舞台有水之大陸、風之大陸、草之大陸、霧之大陸、砂之大陸、七大奇蹟之海、謎之大陸、大嘴鷗島、喵喵戲院。而所有迷宮依然是隨機生成的，每次進入時地形、寶物、敵人配置都會不同，確保每次探索都有新鮮感。迷宮的種類繁多，涵蓋森林、火山、雪山、洞窟等各種環境，每個迷宮都有獨特的機關與陷阱，例如突然崩塌的地板、隱藏的寶箱或強力的BOSS戰。

值得一提的是，引入「聯盟系統」，能夠與超過720種寶可夢建立夥伴關係，這是系列歷來最多的可收集寶可夢數量。透過完成支線任務來讓不同的寶可夢加入隊伍，每隻寶可夢都有獨特的屬性與技能，讓隊伍配置的變化更加多樣化。此外，取消以往作品中的「救援密碼」系統，改為透過3DS的網路功來請求其他玩家幫助救援，這使得即便在迷宮內失敗，也能透過其他人的幫助繼續冒險。當年在發售後獲得普遍正面的評價，特別是劇情、迷宮探索系統與豐富的寶可夢數量受到玩家的高度讚賞。許多評論認為本作的故事深度遠超過前作，甚至能與主線系列的劇情相比，特別是結局的情感張力讓許多玩家印象深刻。

IGN給予本作7.5/10的評價，稱讚遊戲的迷宮設計、戰鬥系統以及超過720種寶可夢的收集要素，但也指出部分迷宮難度過高，可能讓新手玩家感到挫折。GameSpot則給予7.4/10的評分，認為本作是系列中最完整的作品之一，雖然部分節奏稍慢，但整體體驗依然十分出色。然而，也有一些批評聲音，部分玩家認為遊戲的流程稍微冗長，某些迷宮難度過高，需要較長時間進行準備與策略規劃。此外，雖然支線任務豐富，但部分任務內容較為重複，導致遊戲後期可能出現疲勞感。

這是《不可思議的迷宮》系列中規模最大、內容最豐富的作品，擁有完整且感人的劇情、策略性更強的戰鬥系統，以及超過720種可收集的寶可夢，提供極高的耐玩度。對於喜愛迷宮探索與回合制戰鬥的玩家來說，無疑是值得體驗的作品，特別是寶可夢粉絲更能享受其中的收集與冒險樂趣。

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is a role-playing game developed by Spike Chunsoft and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company in 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS. As the latest installment in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, it continues the franchise’s traditional randomly generated dungeon exploration gameplay while introducing a larger selection of playable Pokémon and a richer storyline, making it the most expansive and content-packed game in the series.

Story

The protagonist is a human child who mysteriously wakes up in an unfamiliar forest, only to discover through a reflection in the water that they have been transformed into a Pokémon. With no memory of their past, they find themselves in a world entirely inhabited by Pokémon, where humans do not exist. At the start of the game, players choose one Pokémon from a selection of 20 species (including Pikachu, Cyndaquil, Treecko, Bulbasaur, and others) as their in-game persona, along with a partner Pokémon to embark on an adventure together.

The core mystery of the game revolves around a strange phenomenon—Pokémon all over the world are turning to stone, and no one knows the true cause. In an effort to uncover the truth, the protagonist and their partner join an Exploration Team, setting out to investigate dungeons and encountering legendary and mythical Pokémon such as Mewtwo, Dialga, and Palkia. As the story unfolds, the player gradually uncovers a sinister plot threatening the entire Pokémon world, culminating in a final confrontation against the mastermind behind the crisis in a battle to save all Pokémon.

The narrative is deeper and more emotional than previous entries, touching on themes of friendship, courage, and self-discovery. With several plot twists and an emotionally impactful conclusion, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is considered one of the most well-developed and heartfelt stories in the series.

Gameplay and Mechanics

Staying true to the Mystery Dungeon formula, the game uses a turn-based combat system where every step the player takes inside a dungeon also causes enemy Pokémon to move simultaneously. The battle system follows Pokémon’s type effectiveness mechanics (e.g., Water-type is strong against Fire-type, Electric-type is strong against Water-type), making strategic team composition and skill selection crucial to success.

Players can bring up to three Pokémon into a dungeon, with each Pokémon capable of using four different moves. The effectiveness of these moves depends on their power, accuracy, and PP (Power Points), all of which influence battle outcomes.

New gameplay mechanics include:

Alliance Attack – A team-based move that allows all Pokémon in the party to attack simultaneously, making it particularly useful against tough enemies and bosses.

Evolution & Awakening – Some Pokémon can evolve during battles, such as Bulbasaur evolving into Ivysaur and then into Venusaur, allowing players to experience different forms. Meanwhile, Awakening temporarily enhances a Pokémon’s stats, making them significantly stronger for a limited time.

Dungeons and Locations

The game features a vast world with numerous continents to explore, including:

Water Continent、Air Continent、Grass Continent、Mist Continent、Sand Continent、The Sea of Wonders、Mystery Continent、Pelipper Island、Meowth Theater

Like previous games, dungeons are randomly generated, meaning that each time players enter, the layout, items, and enemy placements change, keeping exploration fresh. Dungeons vary widely in theme, including forests, volcanoes, snowy mountains, and caves, each with unique traps and obstacles such as collapsing floors, hidden treasure chests, and powerful boss battles.

Expanded Pokémon Roster and Multiplayer Features

One of the game’s standout features is the Connection Orb system, which allows players to form bonds with over 720 Pokémon, making it the largest roster in Mystery Dungeon history. Unlike previous games that relied on recruitment randomness, players can now complete side quests to recruit specific Pokémon, ensuring a more structured team-building experience.

Additionally, the traditional rescue password system has been removed in favor of online rescue missions, where players can request help from others via the Nintendo 3DS network. This means that even if a player faints in a dungeon, they can receive assistance and continue their adventure without restarting.

Reception and Criticism

Upon release, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon received generally positive reviews, particularly for its story, dungeon exploration mechanics, and extensive Pokémon roster. Many praised its narrative depth, stating that the emotional weight of the story rivaled even the mainline Pokémon games, with the final scenes leaving a lasting impact on players.

IGN rated the game 7.5/10, praising its dungeon design, combat system, and vast Pokémon collection. However, they noted that some dungeons were too difficult, which might frustrate new players.

GameSpot gave it a 7.4/10, calling it one of the most complete entries in the series, though they pointed out that its pacing could feel slow at times.

However, some criticisms emerged regarding:

Lengthy gameplay – Some players felt that certain segments dragged on, making the overall experience feel longer than necessary.

High dungeon difficulty – Later dungeons required extensive preparation and strategy, which could make the game overwhelming for casual players.

Repetitive side quests – While there were many optional missions, some felt overly similar, leading to potential fatigue in the late game.

Final Thoughts

As the largest and most content-rich game in the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon delivers an engaging mix of compelling storytelling, strategic combat, and deep dungeon exploration. With over 720 recruitable Pokémon, a well-developed battle system, and an emotionally resonant plot, it offers high replayability and remains a must-play for fans of dungeon-crawling RPGs.

For Pokémon enthusiasts, the ability to befriend and battle alongside legendary and mythical Pokémon adds extra excitement, making this a standout entry in the series and a rewarding experience for those who love adventure and strategy.
