Enemies
Note that all enemies and bosses in this game can also become allies to the player. Sometimes some of the enemies as seen in this list are reused for Boss Battles, but can sometimes be a bit stronger. Names in italics are names used in the PAL version.
Enemies and bosses will have a colored health bar beneath them with an orb next to it that represents its element (Fire, Water, Grass, Light and Dark). An enemy will take more damage depending on the element that is strong or weak against another element. For example: Fire is weak against Water; Water is weak against Grass; Grass is weak against Fire. But Light and Dark elements are equally weak and strong to each other.

Demo
On April 30, 2015, a demo version of Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition was released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop[18]. Unlike earlier demos, this demo has unlimited uses, and requires 641 blocks to download. Despite being a demo for both games, players can only play Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition and only has one continue.
There are two stages in the demo: an intro stage, and an expert stage unlocked by clearing the intro stage. In intro, players have two teams to select from, consisting of either Super Mario, a Goomba, a red Koopa Troopa, a Piranha Plant, and a Spiny; or Super Luigi, a yellow Koopa Troopa, a Hammer Bro, a Fire Chomp, and a Wiggler. (Note that the Mario brothers are level three, while the other party members are level 2.) The helper is the counterpart brother. The stage is a grassy stage, and the boss is Big Green Koopa Paratroopa.
In the expert stage, players can choose between two teams consisting of either Boo Mario (level 30) and a Fire Bro, a Fire Piranha Plant, a Cheep Cheep, and a Bony Beetle (all level 25); or Ice Luigi (level 30) and a green Koopa Troopa, an Ice Bro, a Magikoopa, and Koopa Troopa + Cheep Cheep (all level 25). The player's helper is the other brother, but with the same power-up as the one they selected. The stage is an underground stage, and the boss is Flutter and Flame Chomp.
