say?Puyo Puyo is a Japanese puzzle game where you connect four of the same colored
Puyos (Puyos are the little blobs) to make them dissapear.You will have to plan your
strategy correctly, or the enemy will surely bury you with Ojyama Puyos (Garbage
Puyos that get in the way).It all started in 1991 with the Puyo Puyo game for the Famicom Disk Drive,
but I think it became popular when the Mega Drive (Genesis) and Super Famicom
(Super Nintendo) versions were released.Once those versions were released,
Compile started making their famous Puyo Puyo game for almost every other
system out there.As the success of Puyo Puyo got bigger, Compile created a new version called
Puyo Puyo Tsu (Pun on the english word of "Two").Puyo
Puyo Sun didn't have as many characters as Puyo Puyo Tsu, but this was the
first game where you can play as Carbuncle and Satan, as well as all of the
other characters in the game.You can use a special magic power in this.Arle
has a Jama shield, Satan can clear all of the Puyos in the middle of the
screen, Kiki can clean off all Ojyama puyos off her side, and so on.This
game was also first to feature a four player mode (Dreamcast and N64 versions
only).Puyo Puyo did make it to the US, but they went under different names, and
they were different.The one for Sega Genesis was Dr.The
other one for Super Nintendo was called Kirby's Avalanche.The only Puyo Puyo game that didn't get a character change was
Puyo Pop (Actually Puyo Puyo Tsu) for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.Madou Monogatari, Waku Puyo Dungeon, Puyo Wars, and Puyo Puyo Da!.Puyo Puyo series seems to have a lot of RPG looking
characters.Well, I'm hoping that this quick little review made you interested in
the Puyo Puyo series.This article does not cite any references or sources.Platform(s)
Super Famicom, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Mega Drive, Game Gear, Game Boy, PC and others.Puyo Puyo Tsu (Also known as Puyo Puyo 2, or Puyo Puyo Tsuu) is the sequel to Puyo Puyo, made in 1994 by Compile.Also due to its successes, it became the most widely known multiplatform game in Japan, appearing on 12 domestic consoles, and on the PC.The name of Puyo Puyo Tsu comes from an English pun, as Tsu, when spoken aloud, sounds similar to Two (in which, is the sequel, Puyo Puyo 2).Compile continued this pun for Puyo Puyo SUN.Rule Henka (Grid Preset)

4.Gameplay of Multiplayer Puyo Puyo
4.Different rules however played a factor within the game.The idea with Sousai was to enable players to negate as many ojyamas as possible before they fall, thus creating more of a challenge for all players.The idea in which this worked is simple, say Player A scores a 4 rensa that sends 30 garbage, and Player B scores a 3 chain before garbage falls.Each value of garbage each chain is worth is used to negate that many garbage from Player A's 4 chains as a result.Chain 1 does 3 garbage damage, Chain 2 does 8 garbage damage, and Chain 3 does 9 garbage damage.From 30, 3 will be deducted first, then 8, then 9, creating a total of 20 garbage.Sousai can also be used to send garbage back to the opponent, known as Garbage overflow.Equally speaking, it will take a chain of equal proportions to keep the game flowing.Many players however, know that if the opponent is chaining, and the chain is fairly extensive (for example, 10 rensa), they can use the time it takes to create a few more steps on their readily built chain (say, five more steps on a 10 rensa of their own, making 15 rensa altogether), and then unleash that, to counter all garbage and send overflow back, and keep sending more garbage with each chain hit.The opponent can then quickly build a chain of their own to counter, to keep the garbage going back and forth in succession until one person fails to negate garbage to a minimal level and loses the game, keeping the fairness in the game.Rensa Sibari
A custom rule that can also be applied to Puyo Puyo 2 is called Rensa Sibari (Chain Limit).When set to a particular number, each chain up to that number doesn't score anything, nor does it send garbage.If Rensa Sibari, for example, is set to 7, then no player can send garbage unless the chain hit is 7 rensa or higher.In Puyo Puyo Fever, you can set Rensa Sibari to 20, however, there are very few that have scored 20 chains in a game.The most a player has sent in a game is 19 rensa, as demonstrated in this video.An advantage with setting Rensa Sibari is that people can practice building more chains without having to worry about sneaky attacks from opponents.Though this is hard to do initially, it becomes easier once one has become more accustomed to the game.Like with all current games that used this rule, it wasn't used in the prequel, so Puyo Puyo Tsu revolutionised this feature.Yellow falling from Column 3, and Columns 2 and 4 are filled to the top.Rule Henka (Grid Preset)
In Puyo Puyo 2, an experimental rule called Rule Henka was brought into the game.When turned on, as each game starts, different ojyama presets will appear (see Ojyama).By default, it's set to off, but like with Rensa Sibari, you can set it to 9.Zenkesei (All Clear)
Another revolutionary idea that's been kept for every game since Puyo Puyo Tsu, is a bonus called Zenkesei.The fanfare used for this is an alternative version of the Compile bios theme.Sega retained this for the release of Minna de Puyo Puyo and Puyo Puyo Fever to show originality of the game.There are some that disagree, as the bonus, though it may seem one sided, can be used to strengthen the overall chain altogether, regardless of how many steps it is.Ojyama (Garbage)
The standard ojyama's were kept with the release of Puyo Puyo Tsu, however, two new garbage types also appeared, known as Point Puyos and Hard Puyos.If 40 x 20 sends 8 garbage, 90 x 20 will send 16 garbage minimum, thus boosting its strength.Power Rensa, erasing 6 Point Puyos, will certainly do masses of damage.Rules, you can change the overall strength of the Point Puyos, and this also works for Hard Puyos (see below).If Kata Lock is set to a number, you'll get no bonus until that number of chains it met or surpassed.Hard Puyos
As the name suggests, Hard Puyos, when they land on the field, are harder to erase than Standard Garbage or Point Puyos, and are often referred to as Steelies.Once they're erased a first time, the square shell disappears, leaving a standard ojyama left to erase.Rules, you can change the overall strength of the standard ojyama, making it emulate a Point Puyo.Deciding Games
Like with the prequel, if the third column from the left fills up to the top, the game is over.Game Modes
Unlike the prequel, Puyo Puyo Tsu has three different modes for each type.The three main modes are, Single Puyo Puyo, Double Puyo Puyo, and Endless Puyo Puyo.For Super Puyo Puyo 2, and Super Puyo Puyo 2 Remix, using a Super NES Multitap, an additional mode known as Minna de Puyo Puyo (Everybody Puyo Puyo, also the name of a Puyo Puyo game for the Game Boy Advance), means that up to 4 players (though for Remix, including a COM player) can play.Single Puyo Puyo
Satan is once again trying to call the shots, but this time does it in an entirely different fashion.Many beginners to Puyo Puyo also started with Puyo Puyo Tsu.In the main game (known as Tower Mode), Arle must climb the tower to beat Satan.Players that have scored over 180,000 points before reaching the very top of the tower face a Cameo Character in Satan, where he foolishly wears a mask and calls himself Masked Satan.Stage mode was created (known as Rally Mode, or Special), where Arle has to face every opponent in the game (including secret ones, such as Dragon), in an almost random order of difficulty.The default AI setting for this mode is always Hardest, even if set to Easy.Multiplayer Puyo Puyo
The idea for Double and Everybody Puyo Puyo was to use the same game modes.Of course, an Edit Rules option is available as part of the package, but the different modes of play vary.Point Rules
This mode of game is the same as normal, except Point Puyos fall instead of normal garbage.This mode of the game is experimental, as you only need to group 2 puyos adjacently for them to clear (A pair of the same colour will erase as soon as they land, given they are still adjacent).The same as two to clear, except you need to group 6 puyos adjacently for them to clear.Puyo Rules
The preset for Puyo Rules differs from the one set in the game.Puyos to Clear
By setting this number, you can set how many puyos it takes before they erase, this is configurable between 1 and 72.Single Chain Clear Bonus
This determines how many Points it takes for a Single Chain to send garbage, by default, it's 120.Garbage Puyo Mode
In this mode, you can choose whether they're standard, Hard, or Hard 2.If they are Hard, then all garbage will become Hard Puyos, however, if set to Hard 2, only the top row of garbage are Hard Puyos, with the bottom rows being standard garbage.You can set points to this also by setting Garbage Points.The default, of course, is 30.Gameplay of Multiplayer Puyo Puyo
For Double Puyo Puyo, you choose what mode you want to play, and then go straight into battle.The player plays with three puyos (omitting Yellow and Purple).In Multiplayer Puyo Puyo (3 and 4 players), you can set how many games you want to play (to a maximum of 9) before the game begins.As each player is knocked out, garbage becomes stronger (as there are fewer people to share it around).The winner is the last player left without their third column filled to the top.If all players pile their third column to the left at the same time as each other, then they both lose, and ties can happen that way.The player with the most points wins.However, if 9 games are played, and there is a tie for two of the games, the maximum amount of points one can have is 99, rather than anything over 100 (if 2 are ties and one player has won every other game, their final score will be 99, not 102).Endless Puyo Puyo
Like with the prequel, Puyo Puyo Tsu features the same three level difficulties, with the same three options, however, in the Options menu of the game, you can set a particular mode that makes Endless Mode more fun.Again, it can be played with 2 players, where no chain sends garbage to the opponent.In this mode, it is pure Endless.In this mode, helpers will help you at random times (except for Level 1, where either will help for that level only).This tests out the Sousai rule for Endless mode.In this mode, no helper will help you, but garbage will form above the screen.Note: As you select level difficulty, for Action and Wild, garbage intensity increases.Original version and ports
Puyo Puyo Tsu was originally developed by Compile and released by Sega for arcades in 1994.Engine CD, Game Boy, Game Gear, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, PC under Windows 95, Wonderswan, Neo Geo Pocket Color, PlayStation 2, et al.Gage games Puyo Pop are also heavily based on this particular installment of the series.Most of these versions follow the gameset of the arcade version with their own variations.Without a multitap, 3 and 4 MAN players cannot be played.Months later, Compile released Super Puyo Puyo Tsu Remix, a special version of the Super Famicom game that allowed up to 4 players to play without the need of the multitap, by replacing the human players with computer ones.Super Puyo Puyo Tsu Remix also included the Extended Training and Special Modes, as well as other features.Brief history
When released in the Arcade in 1994, it became the biggest arcade game to have been played in Japan since the arrival of Street Fighter II.The most successful of them was Super Puyo Puyo Tsu for the Super Famicom, which sold around 10,000 units in the first week of release, even though it was later than that of the Mega Drive version.To show the success of Puyo Puyo Tsu, in the SEGA AGES 2500 series for the PlayStation 2, Sega released a version entitled Puyo Puyo Tsu PERFECT SET, which paid tribute to one of the most popular versions, the Sega Saturn version.It has been integrated into Puyo Puyo Fever as its Classic mode, and still remains to be a firm favourite among many Puyo players, fans, experts, and champions today.Only one version of Puyo Puyo Tsu was internationally released, and that was Puyo Pop for the NeoGeo Pocket, which was the first Puyo Puyo game released outside Japan.Minna de Puyo Puyo (Puyo Pop in North America) for the GBA however, used the same rules as Puyo Puyo Tsu, and retained a single and multicart 4 player mode.It was severely cut for singlecart mode, but still featured the classic side of Puyo Puyo Tsu.That version has also been recently ESRB rated for a potential US release.This page was last modified 01:27, 25 December 2007.Most recent contributions for Puyo Puyo!Game Details for Puyo Puyo!Do you run a great Puyo Puyo!Sign up for IGN's Free Hosting and your news can appear here!By continuing past this page, and by your continued use of this site, you agree to be bound by and abide by the User Agreement.Know anything more about this game?MiscellaneousThis series has become Compile's main revenue generator, thus there have been a number of spinoff titles besides ports of the arcade titles like Madou Monogatari (a role playing game), Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon (an action RPG), and Puyo Puyo Wars (a strategy title).There are 12 known instances of this game owned by one of our 900 members.Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.Bay links to help determine an accurate price range.Bay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Puyo Puyo Videogame machine and items related to it.Click Here To Browse This Category on eBay!LegacyPuyo PuyoPuyo Puyo 2 TsuuPuyo Puyo SunPuyo PuyonPuyo Puyo Da!Done with our key selections for this month?If you wish to use material from our web sites, please take a look at our Acceptable Use, Copyright, and Trademark Page.
