Copies of the ''Nintendo Puzzle Collection'' were bundled with a [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance Link Cable|Link Cable]] that allowed players to play the original [[Family Computer]] entries of ''Dr. Mario'' and ''Yoshi no Cookie'' and a simplified rendition of ''Panel de Pon'' (which was later used in ''[[Dr. Mario & Puzzle League]]'') on a [[Game Boy Advance]]. ''[[Wario World]]'' had a similar feature where players could play ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' [[microgame]]s on their Game Boy Advances. The three main GameCube games can also be controlled via a Game Boy Advance.

The ''Yoshi's Cookie'' remake is a complete revamp of the original. Vs. Mode can be played with up to four players.

The ''Yoshi's Cookie'' remake is a complete revamp of the original. It adds a story mode to the game, wherein [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] get exhausted from countless cookie deliveries, and [[Bowser]] steals their cookies while they are sleeping. Background music is remade from the soundtrack from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version of the game.


Backgrounds in Action Mode use background tilesets from stages of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Each round has different confetti when the player clears a stage.

*Round 10: Mario sees a Yoshi Cookie roll along the ground and chases it, but he gets distracted by a shooting star in the distance. Mario then brings a telescope and looks at the sky through it. In first-person perspective, another shooting star appears, which turns out to be a Yoshi Cookie and gets closer and closer until it breaks through the lens of the telescope. Mario falls to the ground, and the small cookie pops out from the telescope's eyepiece into Mario's hands.

====Story Mode====
====Enemies====
In the game's story mode, [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] are making [[Yoshi Cookie|cookies]] as a gift for [[Princess Peach]] on her birthday the next day. However, after making so many cookies, they get tired and decide to take a nap. While they are asleep, however, [[Bowser]] steals their cookies. When they wake up, they realize that their cookies are missing. Mario finds a [[Letter|note]] from Bowser, who says that he stole their cookies while they are both asleep, much to the anger of Mario and Yoshi. Mario hops on Yoshi's back and the two go on an adventure to find clues to Bowser. They defeat enemies in their path on their way to Bowser's Castle. When they arrive, their path is blocked by a [[Thwomp]] and [[Kamek]]. Mario and Yoshi defeat them, and Bowser becomes angry at them for defeating his minions. After Bowser is defeated, Mario and Yoshi get the cookies back. The [[Toad (species)|Toads]] then applaud Mario and Yoshi, who reveal themselves as the ones who were portraying the story, and then Princess Peach arrives with cookies for the Toads. Daytime then turns into nighttime and the story ends.
 
=====Enemies=====
The first five stages offer different non-playable opponents depending on the difficulty. All of the non-playable opponents in the story mode appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', with the exception of [[Blooper]] and [[Hammer Bro]].

Regardless of the difficulty, the final two stages offer the same non-playable opponents, though their skill differs between each difficulty. Stage 6 lets the player face off against [[Thwomp]], followed by [[Kamek]]. Stage 7 is a best-three-out-of-five match against Bowser himself.

===''Dr. Mario'' for GBA===
Compared to the original NES release, the "2 Player Game" option on the title screen has been removed, though the "1 Player Game" option must still be selected. The gameplay view has been zoomed in a bit. This version resembles the [[Classic NES Series]] version of ''Dr. Mario'' that was released the following year in 2004, though the latter version zoomed in the gameplay view furthermore.
===''Yoshi no Cookie'' for GBA===
Compared to the original NES release, the "or VS" option on the title screen has been removed, though the "1P" option must still be selected. The gameplay view is slightly zoomed in.

|''As a standalone GameCube title, Nintendo Puzzle Collection isn't exactly a shining benchmark of the hardware's computing power. Sure, the visuals are every bit as bright and colorful as they were in their previous incarnations, but don't expect any GameCube specific enhancements here. Thankfully, with classic 2D gameplay this tight, much more really isn't needed to keep your mind glued into the Nintendo puzzle groove. GameCube owners looking for an excellent pack of timeless puzzle titles will be wise to anticipate Nintendo Puzzle Collection.''
