Nintendo Puzzle Collection (ＮＩＮＴＥＮＤＯ パズルコレクション) is a compilation of puzzle video games published and developed by Nintendo for the GameCube home video game console. It was released in Japan, and was intended to be released in North America and Europe until it was announced that it was cancelled in both regions. It contains three video games: Dr. Mario 64, an enhanced remake of Yoshi's Cookie, and an enhanced remake of Panel de Pon (the Japanese version of Tetris Attack).

The game is a port of the American release of Dr. Mario 64, as Japan did not receive the game on the N64. The game is identical to the Nintendo 64 version: a story including Wario Land 3 characters, a four-player mode, and new songs (Cube and Cue Cue). Also, secret characters can be unlocked after Story mode is completed on Hard. Though the game is essentially the Nintendo 64 version, all references to the N64 have been removed and the game is named 'Dr Mario', not 'Dr Mario 64'
Aside from the updated graphics and music, the game is the same as the SNES version. A four player mode is included.
The remake of Panel de Pon is a recompiled version of the previously unreleased Panel de Pon 64. Features include updated graphics and sound, new characters, and the 3D game mode first seen in Pokémon Puzzle League. Because Pokémon Puzzle League was the only version of Panel de Pon 64 to be released, the games share the same gameplay structure in terms of sporting the all new modes, except for the addition of a four-player versus mode not available in Pokémon Puzzle League.
Nintendo Puzzle Collection supports GameCube-Game Boy Advance linking, allowing the player to download a downgraded version of one of the games to their Game Boy Advance. They include the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Dr. Mario, the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Yoshi's Cookie, and an original version of Panel de Pon which lacks the story mode and selectable characters like Panel de Pon and Tetris Attack have. The downloaded game is stored on the Game Boy Advance's memory, and will remain until the Game Boy Advance is shut down.[1]

Nintendo Puzzle Collection was a compilation of three popular Nintendo puzzle titles: Panel de Pon, Dr. Mario and Yoshi's Cookie for the GameCube, released only in Japan. Each version of the game was enhanced with competitive play modes for up to four players. Dr. Mario originally appeared on the NES and the Game Boy. Yoshi's Cookie appeared on both of those platforms, as well as the Super Nintendo. Panel de Pon first appeared outside of Japan as Tetris Attack on the SNES, and again as Pokémon Puzzle League on the Nintendo 64. NPC was sold with a Game Boy Advance connection cable (also sold separately) that allowed players to download GBA-specific versions of these three games to play on the handheld.
