《龍族拼圖 超級瑪利歐兄弟版》（日文：パズル＆ドラゴンズ スーパーマリオブラザーズ エディション，英文：Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition）是由日本知名手機遊戲公司GungHo Online Entertainment開發，並於2015年在Nintendo 3DS平台推出的結合消珠益智與RPG元素的遊戲。是《龍族拼圖》首次與任天堂招牌角色「超級瑪利歐」進行聯動合作，推出的家用主機版本之一，專門針對瑪利歐粉絲量身打造，將耳熟能詳的蘑菇王國角色與龍拼世界的玩法融合，帶來耳目一新的體驗。

在劇情方面，依然延續瑪利歐系列的經典設定。庫巴再度綁架碧姬公主，並用神秘力量操縱整個蘑菇王國的敵人，使其變得異常強大且失控。為拯救碧姬並恢復世界秩序，瑪利歐與路易吉踏上旅程，逐一挑戰被操控的敵人與頭目，並逐漸解開庫巴背後神秘力量的來源。雖然整體劇情並不特別複雜，但以清晰明快的節奏和熟悉的角色演出，成功營造出一種「冒險旅程式」的氛圍，讓玩家可以輕鬆投入，不需過多負擔劇情理解。

在玩法系統方面，保留原作《龍族拼圖》的核心消珠機制：畫面下方是一個6x5的珠盤，可以自由移動一顆珠子，在限制時間內拖曳它穿越其他珠子，形成三顆以上相同顏色的直線或橫線即可消除，消除珠子後上方的角色會根據對應屬性進行攻擊或施展技能。這種結合策略與即時操作的設計，讓每回合都具備極高參與感，同時考驗反應與規劃能力。

而與手機版不同的是，完全無內課金系統，所有角色與資源皆可透過遊戲進程獲得。可以從多位瑪利歐世界的角色中組成隊伍，包括不同帽子顏色的瑪利歐（火焰瑪利歐、水泡瑪利歐、企鵝瑪利歐等），以及庫巴Jr.、奇諾比奧、耀西、庫巴手下等變種角色，這些角色皆以不同屬性與技能呈現，例如紅屬性對應火焰技能、綠屬性對應回復與輔助等，讓編隊充滿瑪利歐風格的同時，也具備豐富的策略性。每個角色還可以透過「進化」與「強化」系統升級，獲得更高能力與新的技能，這些進化皆以瑪利歐世界的經典道具為核心，例如吃下超級蘑菇、拿到火花花等。此外，取消體力限制，可以無限次數進行關卡挑戰，讓整體流程更加流暢與自由。

關卡設計方面，以「世界地圖」的形式進行，每個世界代表一個主題，例如草原、沙漠、海底、雪地、空中、火山、庫巴城堡等。每個世界包含數個小關卡與一個頭目關卡，關卡中會遇到各式變化型態的敵人，例如帶有毒素能力的奇諾兵、能造成干擾的嘟嘟利、或能恢復敵人生命的烏龜隊等，必須根據敵人屬性與技能來調整自己的隊伍與消珠策略。此外還有「秘密關卡」與「挑戰關卡」，供高階玩家進行更高難度的挑戰與素材蒐集。視覺與聲音方面，採用熟悉的瑪利歐風格圖像，角色與背景以Q版3D模型呈現，風格繽紛且富有童趣。敵我角色表現活潑，每個技能特效都充滿任天堂式的動畫張力與可愛感。配樂方面，大量取材自瑪利歐系列的經典旋律，並進行重新編曲，使其更適合益智節奏與RPG冒險的氛圍，熟悉的音樂搭配創新玩法，帶來既懷舊又新鮮的遊玩體驗。

市場評價方面，獲得中上程度的正面回響。許多評論指出本作成功將《龍族拼圖》的核心機制與瑪利歐世界完美融合，無課金機制與豐富可收集角色系統使其具有極高的耐玩度。尤其對系列粉絲而言，能在益智消珠過程中操控熟悉的角色，體驗不一樣的瑪利歐冒險，是非常新鮮且富娛樂性的體驗。不過，也有部分玩家認為關卡後期難度上升過快、角色平衡度尚可調整，而整體流程略顯重複，長時間遊玩下可能會有些疲乏。

總體來說，這是充分展現任天堂與第三方合作潛力的成功實驗作品。它讓經典角色走進全新玩法領域，為玩家帶來不一樣的策略與挑戰，也讓消珠益智遊戲在家用主機平台擁有嶄新可能。對於喜愛瑪利歐角色、益智遊戲與輕量RPG要素的玩家而言，是值得嘗試、充滿驚喜的作品。

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (Japanese: パズル＆ドラゴンズ スーパーメリオブラザーズ エディション) is a puzzle-RPG hybrid developed by the renowned Japanese mobile game company GungHo Online Entertainment. Released in 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS, it represents the first major collaboration between Puzzle & Dragons and Nintendo’s iconic Super Mario franchise. Tailored specifically for Mario fans, this console edition blends the familiar Mushroom Kingdom characters with the match-3 puzzle mechanics of Puzzle & Dragons, creating a refreshing and imaginative crossover experience.

The story follows the classic narrative formula of the Super Mario series. Bowser once again kidnaps Princess Peach, this time using a mysterious power to corrupt and strengthen the enemies of the Mushroom Kingdom. To rescue the princess and restore balance, Mario and Luigi set out on a quest to battle corrupted foes and uncover the origin of Bowser’s newfound strength. Although the story remains simple and straightforward, its brisk pacing and familiar characters effectively evoke a sense of lighthearted adventure, allowing players to enjoy the game without needing to invest heavily in narrative comprehension.

In terms of gameplay, the title retains the core orb-matching mechanics of the original Puzzle & Dragons. Players manipulate orbs on a 6x5 puzzle grid located at the bottom of the screen. Within a time limit, a single orb can be dragged across the grid to rearrange others, and aligning three or more orbs of the same color in a horizontal or vertical row causes them to vanish. These matches fuel attacks and skills from the characters above, whose powers are aligned with the color of the matched orbs. This blend of strategic planning and real-time movement ensures that every turn is engaging and mentally stimulating.

Unlike the mobile version, this title features no in-game purchases or microtransactions. All characters and resources can be unlocked through normal gameplay progression. Players can build teams from a wide range of Mario universe characters, including Mario in different power-up forms (such as Fire Mario, Bubble Mario, and Penguin Mario), Bowser Jr., Toad, Yoshi, and various Koopa Troop minions. Each character is aligned with a specific element — red for fire attacks, green for healing and support, and so on — enhancing the strategic depth of team building while preserving the distinctive Mario flavor.

Characters can also be powered up through evolution and enhancement systems, acquiring new skills and stronger stats. Evolutions are cleverly themed around classic Mario items, such as Super Mushrooms and Fire Flowers. The game also removes stamina limitations, allowing players to replay stages as often as they like without waiting, promoting a more seamless and open-ended gameplay flow.

Stage progression is structured around a world map, with each world reflecting a classic Mario theme — grasslands, deserts, underwater zones, snowy fields, sky realms, volcanoes, and Bowser’s castles. Every world contains multiple standard levels and a boss stage. Along the way, players face enemy variants such as poison-inflicting Goombas, orb-disrupting Buzzy Beetles, and health-restoring Koopa squads. These require players to adapt their team compositions and puzzle strategies accordingly. Additional "secret levels" and "challenge stages" offer higher difficulty and valuable upgrade materials for more experienced players.

Visually and aurally, the game embraces a cheerful Mario aesthetic. Characters and backgrounds are rendered in chibi-style 3D models with bright, playful visuals. Attack animations and skill effects are rich with Nintendo’s characteristic charm. The soundtrack heavily borrows from classic Mario tunes, rearranged to better suit the puzzle and RPG atmosphere. The combination of nostalgic melodies with a new gameplay twist creates an experience that feels both familiar and fresh.

Reception was generally positive, with many praising the successful fusion of Puzzle & Dragons gameplay with the Mario universe. The lack of microtransactions and the rich selection of collectible characters were seen as major strengths, contributing to the game’s high replay value. Longtime fans of the Mario series especially enjoyed the opportunity to engage with familiar characters in a new puzzle-RPG format. However, some criticism was directed at the game’s late-stage difficulty spikes, occasional balancing issues, and repetitive gameplay loop, which could lead to fatigue over extended sessions.

Overall, Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition is a successful experiment that highlights the potential of collaborations between Nintendo and third-party developers. It brings iconic characters into a fresh gameplay style, offering new challenges and strategies to puzzle fans. For players who enjoy Mario characters, match-3 puzzles, and light RPG elements, it’s a delightful and surprising title well worth trying.
