==={{DQ}}===
A woman will offer the lone Hero a puff-puff for 50G in [[Rimuldar]] in the original version of the first game, with the event taking place in the [[Kol]] bathhouse in the remakes.
A woman will offer the lone {{Hero 1}} a Puff-Puff for 50 [[gold]] coins in [[Rimuldar]] in the original version of the first game, with the event taking place in the [[Kol]] bathhouse in the remakes and the woman charging only 20 [[gold]] coins. The original version is less sophisticated than subsequent encounters, with the screen merely fading to black briefly.


===''[[Dragon Quest II]]''===
The {{NES}} localization censored the dialogue so that the woman is selling tomatoes.
A bunny girl in [[Rippleport]] will offer her services for 100G. This rabbit is feistier than most, accusing the princes of being homosexuals if they turn down her services in the original Japanese script.


===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
==={{DQ2}}===
A dancer in the streets of [[Asham]] at night offers Powderpuff Massage free of charge. After leading the character upstairs, she turns off the light and begins the massage, only to later reveal the one doing the massage was her father, leaving the character who received the massage without words.
A bunny girl in [[Rippleport]] will offer her services for 100 [[gold]] coins. In the Japanese release there's more to her than meets the eye, if turned down she'll ask if it's because she's actually a man.


===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
==={{DQ3}}===
A dancing girl in the bar of [[Laissez Fayre]] will perform a puff-puff for free, but only upon male characters.
A dancer in the streets of [[Asham]] at night offers a Puff-Puff free of charge. After leading the character upstairs, she turns off the light and begins the massage, only to later reveal the one doing the massage was her father, leaving the character who received the massage at a loss for words.


In Chapter 1, [[Angus and Aigneas|Angus' wife Aigneas]] gives her befuddled husband a puff-puff to restore his lost memory in the original Japanese script.
The original {{NES}} localization censored the scene by referring to a Puff-Puff as a powderpuff massage. This change was undone in all subsequent localizations.


The western releases of ''IV'' on the [[Nintendo DS]] do not include the puff-puff in the Laissez Fayre bar, nor the one Aigneas gives to Angus. This was most likely to maintain a lower content rating at Nintendo's behest.
She will only offer and give a Puff-Puff if a male character is at the beginning of the party line up.


===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
==={{DQ4}}===
The puff-puff is more difficult to find than usual in ''V'', and it can only be experienced int he second generation of the game. The player can find the bunny girl in the [[Coburg]] item shop at night after defeating the [[Faux Dowager]]. At first she will offer her services after saying the Hero is cute, but then retract it on the grounds that he isn't mature enough yet: the player needs to reach [[Mostroferrato]] and view the cutscene with [[Nera Briscoletti]] before the full puff-puff scene will take place. Once that requirement has been met, the bunny girl will tell the Hero to meet her behind Coburg castle the next morning. Humorously, this can be done when the Hero is married and each bride will have very different reactions.

The puffing is a ruse, however; players will hear the baas of sheep as the screen goes dark, and when light returns their heads will be between two smelly sheep rears. A fitting fate for any sickos expecting a real puff-puff from a little girl.

[[Witch (Dragon Quest VIII)|Witch]]s and [[siren]]s will attempt to immobilize the protagonists with this technique, but it will always fail when used on Jessica. As the game puts it, she ''wins the battle of the bulges''. Furthermore, the enemy loses their next turn out of shame.
