Another pair of rebranded ''Panel de Pon'' games, ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle Challenge}}'' and ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle League}}'', used the cast of the {{uv|Pokémon}} series.

The last game in the series to use the fairy-based theme of the original game was the version of ''Panel de Pon'' included in the Japan-only ''{{s|mariowiki|Nintendo Puzzle Collection}}'' for [[Nintendo GameCube]]. This version of the game, based on the unreleased ''Panel de Pon 64'', starred a new generation of fairies similar to those of the Super Famicom game; ''Nintendo Puzzle Collection'' was planned for release outside of Japan and was shown at E3 2003,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NbVv0xHTUQ Nintendo Puzzle Collection E3 2003 Trailer - IGN]</ref> but was canceled for unknown reasons, despite receiving an {{s|wikipedia|ESRB}} rating.<ref>[https://www.esrb.org/ratings/9238/Nintendo+Puzzle+Collection/ Nintendo Puzzle Collection - ESRB]</ref> The next two games in the series, ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario & Puzzle League}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Planet Puzzle League}}'', featured no characters at all (barring Pupuri from ''Puzzle Collection'' appearing in the former, and Lip's stage being an unlockable theme in the Japanese version of the latter). These installments instead solely featured the gameplay without any story or theming from other series.

After nearly a decade of absence, the series made a reappearance as a minigame in ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo}}'' under the name ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Puzzle League}}'', featuring the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} cast. Reaching certain milestones in the minigame allows the player to unlock Lip's outfit for their [[Villager]] to wear. In 2020, 25 years after the series' debut, the original fairy-based ''Panel de Pon'' was released internationally for the first time, via the Nintendo Switch Online service.
