======Jupiter's Picross series======
A series of [[nonogame|nonogames]] spread across Nintendo platforms. Many feature characters from the //[[mario_series|Mario]]// series, though this aspect has been dropped for the DS iteration. [[jupiter_corporation|Jupiter]]'s Picross games just feel a bit nicer than other companies': the hammer and chisel pointers, and the crunchy way they mark the board, is not quite matched elsewhere.

=====Games=====
  - **1995 - //[[marios_picross|Mario's Picross]]//**
  - **1995 - //[[tamori_no_picross|Tamori's Picross]]//**\\ Precursor to //Mario's Super Picross//, released as a series of broadcats for the [[super_nintendo_entertainment_system#Satellaview]]. Dumps of several are available.
  - **1995 - //[[marios_super_picross|Mario's Super Picross]]//**\\ Maybe the best version of the game. Has since had its first western release on the PAL [[nintendo_wii#Virtual Console]].
  - **1996 - //[[picross_2]]//**\\ The second Game Boy version adds an unintrusive map, where players move between puzzles. Most puzzles are self-contained portions of larger puzzles: and it works!
  - **1999 - //Pokémon Picross//**\\ Unreleased Game Boy Color game. Has since been leaked.
  - **1999--2000 - //[[picross_np]]//**\\ A series of 8 nonogame compilations released via the [[super_nintendo_entertainment_system#Nintendo Power]] system. They feel squeakier than //Mario's Super Picross//, but feature a wider variety of Nintendo, and non-Nintendo, themes. Also some interesting multiplayer modes.
  - **2007 - //[[Picross DS]]//**\\ DS version, where bigger puzzles include an unfortunate screen scrolling feature. Replaces the old-Nintendo Mario theme with the sterile new-Nintendo DS/Wii theme.
  - **2012--14 - //[[club_nintendo_picross_series|Club Nintendo Picross]]//**
  - **2013 -  //Pictlogica Final Fantasy//**\\ Free-to-plat, //Final Fantasy//-themed game, with regular puzzles, character abilities, and actiony battles.
  - **2013--16 - //[[picross_e_series|Picross e]]//**((Not sure if //Club Nintendo// and //e// are related / share puzzles.))
  - **2015 - //[[pokemon_picross]]//**\\ Overly drawn-out, free-to-play. You catch and equip 'mons which have different powers they can use to help you clear boards.
  - **2016 - //[[my_nintendo_picross_tloz_twilight_princess|My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]//**\\ 1000 point My Nintendo reward.
  - **2013 -  //[[pictlogica_final_fantasy]]//**\\ 3DS version of //pictlogica_final_fantasy//, with a number of gameplay changes to fit a different revenue model.
  - **2017 - //[[picross_s]]//**
  - **2018 - //[[sanrio_characters_picross]]//**
  - **2018 - //Kemono Friends Picross//**
  - **2019 - //Picross Lord Of The Nazarick//**

====Offshoots====
  - **2009 - //[[picross_3d_series]]//**\\ Version where puzzles are built in a 3-D grid. Made for the DS by [[HAL]]. A sequel has since been released in Japan for the 3DS.
