Starting from Fresh Pretty Cure! till Star☆Twinkle Pretty Cure, Pretty Cure Online provided temporary downloadable wallpapers per episode release with a duration of a week until the next episode release. Each episode had 3 different wallpapers that ranged from size 1280x800, 1080x1920, 1366x768, 1920x1080. These sizes were only available when the user was signed up.
The games were simple flash games where the player interacted with the main characters, defeated villains by solving simple riddles or puzzles and had the option to dress up their player character as the game progressed with more option there.
In Summer 2012, there was an event where players could get posters and other things by playing bingo or completing games with the Smile! Cures. (source needed!)
