I just beat normal in my first try, I recommend playing tetris attack / panel de pon more, the screen is bigger and there is more height cell-wise, which makes big combos and surviving easier

By far the most aesthetically effective Panel de Pon re-brand. It's a shame this development team, to my knowledge, never made any other GBC games, as the spritework here is quite nice, making for a real visual showcase on the platform. Puzzle Challenge here can't quite live up the Super Famicom original, but it's still an excellent Panel de Pon / Pokemon mashup that does a great job blending the style and appeal of the two franchises.
