I would like to point out that a PSP version of Peggle is being released very soon. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/11/12/peggle-hits-psp-on-tuesday-is-addicting/ General AUS (talk) 00:02, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

There's also a version for clickwheel-format iPods. 86.153.83.196 (talk) 18:47, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Comments
I think we could make this NPOV by removing the exclamation Points and changing the characters graph to put down more encyclopedic descriptions of their powers.

I would like to see a discussion of the highest scores achieved in Peggle. For instance, a score of 2,700,000 is thought to be obtained only once in 50,000 tries. What are the highest scores known, I am curious to know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theo Pringle (talk • contribs) 21:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I have a replay featuring a guy getting 4 million score using Warren.--88.212.102.217 12:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Scoring
10 x multiplier pts for Blue 100 x multiplier pts for orange 500 x multiplier pts for purple The total is multiplied (again) by the number of pegs hit

example,  I hit 4 pegs  3 blue one orange, whilst the multiplier is x1

10 + 10 + 10 + 100 = 130 x 4  = 520 Then style points are added, unaffected by multipliers. Can we squeeze this into the Gameplay section? I think the gameplay section is become a little bit of a "wall of text" ,maybe split into sub sections? Zeonglow (talk) 00:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Specific scoring details is unnecessary. The multipler and style bonuses are explained already. --M ASEM (t) 03:51, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

No arcade game
Whoever wrote that part of the entry is clearly mistaken. The most comprehensive arcade game website on the net, KLOV.com, does not have an entry for a Peggle arcade game link. If one existed, no matter how obscure, they'd have a record of it. 68.229.184.37 03:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone asked about this on rec.games.video.arcade.collecting, and someone responded, "there are better references than klov", and provided this link --SHODAN 10:49, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand. Clearly there was an arcade game called Peggle with similar gameplay. It was released in 1991 by Strata/Incredible technologies. Here is a link for more information (https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=18626). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.192.9.42 (talk) 11:27, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Easteregg
Trivia talks about an easteregg if you play ode to joy using menu buttons, more details about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.212.102.217 (talk) 11:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I just did it. "Play" the opening notes of Ode to Joy by hovering the cursor over the appropriate buttons (the 4 buttons on the right and "Replays") in time to the music. The timing can be tricky. --SHODAN 03:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I tried it in Peggle Deluxe, and it works there as well. I added it to the article. Incidentally, the order is "Duel-Duel-Challenge-Replays-Replays-Challenge-Duel-Quick Play-Adventure-Adventure-Quick Play-Duel-Duel-Quick Play-Quick Play" --SHODAN 03:40, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Embedded in World of Warcraft
The developers have crafted an add-on that effectively lets you play the game inside of another game, World of Warcraft. While not unprecedented, it does suggest an interesting trend in gaming. 71.103.164.247 (talk) 23:08, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Extreme Fever and Ultra Extreme Fever
The article currently sates that "If all the pegs on a level are cleared, a bonus is awarded and all the bins turn to the maximum value and the message "Ultra Extreme Fever" is displayed." This is incorrect. A player only receives "Ultra Extreme Fever" if the very last brick/peg destroyed is orange -- I've learned this from personal experience. The second to last peg was orange; the ball ricocheted off of it to hit the final, blue peg. Alex999139 (talk) 03:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Research suggests peggle lifts mood
I read this review of a study yet feel it should be verified The numbers are Noticeably Big When I read a powerpoint presentation doubleyew doubleyew doubleyew  dot ecu  dot   edu/cs-hhp/rcls/biofeedback/upload/Matt-Fish-Slides_03-01-11.pptx there were other also impressive results  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.41.136.51 (talk) 23:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

with a decrease in total mood disturbance being a positive change in mood. In terms of total mood disturbance, Peggle had the greatest effect, improving mood by 573% across all study subjects compared to the control group (which saw a modest improvement in mood). Bejeweled 2 (435%) and Bookworm Adventures (303%) also had significant positive effects on subjects' overall mood. Interestingly, among those subjects who played Bejeweled 2, male subjects showed a 10% greater increase in total mood than female subjects, while females who played Peggle experienced a 40% greater improvement in mood than males who played that game. "It's not surprising that Peggle had the greatest effect on overall mood, given the game's over-the-top celebration of players' success each time they complete a level,"

East Carolina University's Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies today revealed the results of a six-month long, randomized, controlled study that measured the stress-relieving and other mood-lifting effects of so-called "casual" video games. The three puzzle and word games used in the study, Bejeweled® 2, Peggle™ and Bookworm™ Adventures, are all made by PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of casual video games. (PopCap underwrote the study and provided copies of the games for research purposes.)

In all cases, the changes in stress levels and mood were measured in comparison to a control group that experienced a Web-based activity similar in physical and mental nature to the game-playing groups.

"I've conducted many clinical studies in the area of recreational therapy in the past, but this was the first one seeking to determine the potential therapeutic value of video games," stated Dr. Russoniello. "The results of this study are impressive and intriguing, given the extent of the effects of the games on subjects' stress levels and overall mood. When coupled with the very high degree of confidence we have in those results based on the methodology and technologies used, I believe there is a wide range of therapeutic applications of casual games in mood-related disorders such as depression and in stress-related disorders including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Granted, this study was a first step and much more needs to be done before video games can be prescribed to treat medical conditions. However, these exciting results confirm anecdotal evidence that people are playing casual video games to improve their mood and decrease their stress, and herald casual games' potential in health promotion, disease prevention, and treatment of stress- and mood-related disorders."

For a video game this article is decently substantial, however it still includes information in the opening section that is at a minimum 5 years out of date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.225.34 (talk) 21:23, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

– A rather lengthy and long-running series in which no particular game has primacy, despite the original game being the most developed article. Moving the series page to primary will help it expand and reflect the actual scope of the series, as well as bring it in line with other video game series. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:30, 15 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Oppose The first game has more recognition than the series itself. --M asem (t) 14:44, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I cannot see how that is possibly true. Peggle 2 got no less than 39 reviews for the Xbox version. That is not the sign of an unrecognized game. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:22, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
