This page details one or more prototype versions of Puzzle (NES).

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Are there any differences in the NintendoPlayer prototype?

There are two prototypes for Puzzle, one included in GoodNES and one dumped by NintendoPlayer. The following are from the GoodNES prototype. Note that the GoodNES "prototype" seems to be merely a mapper-hacked version of the actual Taiwanese release by Idea-Tek, the original developers of the game.

The final version adds the option to fiddle with the music.

The prototype skips the first puzzle in the final version, which is a generic one with numbers.

Pausing the game in the prototype shows you the solution to the puzzle, while the final version shows a plain pause screen.

This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: Add the music.

Many of the game's songs were completely redesigned in the released version.
