They have been given this ability in order to collect the fifty-five Pinkies spread across the land and save the Palmier Kingdom. The series began airing in Japan from February 4, 2007 and January 27, 2008, replacing Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star in its initial timeslot and was replaced by its direct sequel series Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo!. The series uses three pieces of theme music, one opening and two ending themes. The opening theme is "PreCure 5, Smile Go Go!" (プリキュア5、スマイル go go!

From episode 33-49, the ending theme was changed to "Ganbalance de Dance ~Yumemiri Kiseki-tachi~" (ガンバランス de ダンス～夢みる奇跡たち～ Ganbaransu de Dansu ~Yumemiru Kiseki-tachi~"?), performed by Miyamoto with the PreCure 5. This song was also used as the theme for the film adaptation Great Miraculous Adventure in the Mirror Kingdom!. An insert song in the series titled "Tobikkiri!
