Puyo Puyo, known as Puyo Pop in English for a number of years, is a series of competitive Falling Block puzzle games originally created by Compile as a Spin-Off series of Madou Monogatari, currently owned by Sega. The object of the game is to flood your opponent's board with Nuisance Puyo by making chains with several multi-colored Puyo, which explode when four of the same color are connected. Despite its relative obscurity in the west, due in no small part to a history of not being localized, it is arguably one of the more influential puzzle series; its competition-based gameplay and colorful stable of characters were groundbreaking in the early '90s and inspired a wide variety of competitors.Puyo Puyo was created to counter the legions of aesthetically-bland Tetris imitators of the late '80s and very early '90s. To that end, Compile incorporated characters from Madou Monogatari 1-2-3, an earlier first-person RPG that sees Action Girl Arle Nadja battle a variety of colorful monsters. Though the original MSX and Famicom Disk System Puyo Puyo games quietly came and went, the arcade version became a hit and its sequel became nothing short of a Japanese arcade phenomenon. How many other puzzle games can boast that they have held televised tournaments?Unfortunately, despite (or, perhaps, due to) Puyo Puyo's success, Compile very quickly racked up a staggering amount of debt that they were unable to repay. As part of a restructure attempt in 1998, ownership of the series transferred to Sega. Compile continued to create Puyo Puyo titles for two more years before leaving the series forever. Sega, utilizing their Sonic Team banner, produces Puyo Puyo games to this day. | |

Cherry Tapping | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7 | comment |
Cherry Tapping: As only one specific column needs to be filled for elimination, a lowly two-chain can be enough to defeat a short-sighted opponent. Box contains straighter examples; namely, three Yon-rule powers that drop a Puyo by the single digits, named "Pinpoint", "Solar Ray", and "Resist". Pinpoint drops a single Garbage on the last location a pair's "pivot" Puyo was placed, Solar Ray does the same but uses a Sun Puyo instead, while Resist limits Garbage drops to one for the next ten pairs. All three cases can potentially drop a fatal Puyo if circumstances allow for it. | |

The Artifact | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Satan is the only character that retains their English arcade Dub Name Change in later English releases. (Though this is toyed with at least a couple of times.) Older games would sometimes recycle voice clips from past games. As a side effect, Rulue in the first arcade game did not have a voice clip since she didn't have one in Madou Monogatari III, Arle had the same voice clips between the original Madou Monogatari trilogy despite the age differences, and Minotaur lacked voice clips for Pocket Puyo Puyo~n due to those games recycling voice clips from the console versions of Yo~n and SUN. Subverted with Arle and Carbuncle, who appeared to be headed this way until they were rejoined by other former Madou Monogatari characters starting with 15th. In an amusing meta example, Puyo Puyo's official Japanese Twitter account uses the handle @puyopuyo20th, being created to promote 20th Anniversary, but gaining enough of a following to make an account name change unfeasible. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Downplayed with Puyo Puyo games from Puyo Puyo 7 onward. While still having the familiar cute, colorful, and comedic tone SEGA's interpretation of the series is known for, Puyo Puyo 7 would start the trend of games having a plot that involves the prevention of an apocalypse-like situation and including more drama. Donwplayed, but compared to other Puyo light novels released before it, Amitie and the Girl of Love has a somewhat tense beginning, what with Arle, Amitie, Ringo, and Carbuncle fighting a difficult battle against the snake creature 'Ouroboros' in order to rescue Ally. It's probably worth noting that Ouroboros (appearance-wise) would not be out of place in a Madou Monogatari game. | |

The plot of Puyo Puyo Tetris really just boils down to several levels of Tempting Fate through random musings, usually by Ringo, that all come true in often the worst ways. | |

The plot of the first arcade game is essentially "Arle has learned a new spell and she's going to go beat Dark Prince with it!" ...and even that much comes from the instruction booklet of the home ports. The Cut-and-Paste plot from the English arcade game (and presumably Puzlow Kids) has "Silvana" defending her home against the Dark Prince's Black Kingdom. | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: The series' artstyle as of 20th uses one head shape for every single humanoid, non-anthromorphic character, regardless of age or gender. Most of those characters have the same eye shape as well, resulting in faces that vary only in eye color and whether or not the character has Blush Stickers or "whiskers" like Arle, Amitie, and Ringo. Hairstyles and other accessories go a long way toward hiding this, but even then a few characters still stick out. (Quest's Rebecca essentially being an off-colored Witch, for example.) | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Somewhat...in Puyo Puyo~n, Puyo Puyo 7, and Puyo Puyo Chronicle. In Yo~n, a select cast of characters (Draco, Serilly, Witch, and Chico) will tag along with Arle after you beat them (and even then, they have their own agenda for joining Arle), allowing you to use their special attacks. This gets taken away from you when you face Dark Prince, who walls off your allies away from the battle scene. In Puyo Puyo 7, a defeated person might tag along with Ringo for the story, as she takes a few heroes and, for a short bit, Dark Prince. As for Chronicle, just like with Yo~n, a defeated person will tag along with your party for the entirety of the story. This includes random enemies, as well as the main playable cast. | |

Wizard Duel: Puyo matches in-universe amount to this, according to ports of the first arcade game; the spell Owanimo is used to convert four similarly-colored creatures (such as Puyo) into energy that attacks the opponent. Probably best not to think too hard about how an Un-Sorcerer like Rulue can not only play the game, but be pretty good at it. | |

Wild Magic: Apparently, casting spells in Puyo battles is way harder than it looks (and not just from a gameplay perspective); most of the cast often have little control over whatever spells they cast, with one wrong move potentially transporting them to a different location or dimension. And that's if they're lucky; if they're unlucky, they'll usually have to deal with an Omnicidal Maniac sooner or later... | |

Laugh Track: One of the DiscStation shorts parodies the trope, having Suketoudara make movements in the corner of the screen to instruct viewers when to laugh. Suketoudara's movements are nevertheless accompanied by canned laughter played in the short. At the end, Choppun is shown laughing himself silly at the events of the animation. | |

Only Sane Man: This role is usually held by Arle, but as of Puyo Puyo 7 it seems to have been given to Ringo. In both Tetris games this role is given to Tee. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: The N-Gage Puyo Pop features most of the characters from the first Puyo Puyo...except that they all have vastly different color palettes than the original sprites. A straighter example is Harpy; her sprite is used twice, with each opponent having different hair color. Box gets a lot of mileage out of this trope. All of the Doppelgangers except Doppelganger Arle are palette swaps, while most of the Yon characters use blatant edits of their Tsu mugshots. And yes, there is more than one version of Harpy. Arle's sprite on the Game Gear Puyo Puyo's title screen is an edit of her sprite from the MSX game's title screen, changing her clothes and having her hold the green Puyo closer to her body. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The "stuttering" audio effect used on the characters' voices at the end of large Fever chains references the damage-doubling Diacute spell from Madou Monogatari, which had a similar side effect. Just to drive the reference home, Arle does the exact same stutter on the spell after Diacute starting with 20th Anniversary. Dark Prince's Affectionate Nickname for Arle, Arly, is a reference to how her name was pronounced in the English version of Puyo Puyo Fever. | |

Ditching the Dub Names | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_26e51255 | comment |
Ditching the Dub Names: The series as a whole was known as Puyo Pop in the West for some time in the 2000s. Starting with the English release of Puyo Puyo Tetris, it reverted to its native name for all international versions. The original arcade game changed most of the characters' names, Arle was known as Silvana for instance. The localized versions of Fever and Tetris would change these names back, at least for the characters that appeared anyway. Tetris would also change Raffine and Rider's names to Raffina and Lidelle respectively, and drop the "Arly" pronunciation of Arle from Fever. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: A hilarious one appears in the PC-98 version of Puyo Puyo. If you hold ESC after defeating Dark Prince, the typical ending with Arle celebrating is replaced with her getting drunk on sake. Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon, Puyo Puyo~n, and Madou Monogatari Saturn have extra files that are only accessible when put into a PC. Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon has two screensavers, while Madou Monogatari Saturn and Puyo Puyo~n have illustrations. The recurring cheats in SEGA games such as Core AI, Unlock All, and CPU only matches count. 20th in particular takes it a step further by also having a cheat that allows the play to have "classic" voices for the Compile-era characters by holding select. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Minotauros, Mamono, and Owl Bear, all of which were final bosses in the Madou Monogatari series: Minotauros eventually becomes a background character, Mamono is a generic opponent in Tsu, and Owl Bear serves as an "extra" battle in the same game. The latter two might be justified, given that Arle defeated them while in kindergarten. Mamono's demotion is Lampshaded in versions of Tsu that feature pre-battle conversations; the poor creature starts crying when Arle figures out that he isn't the final boss. | |

Arrange Mode | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_2b50986a | comment |
Arrange Mode: Puyo Puyo 2 has Rule Henka mode, which can only be enabled in the operator menu (it cannot be selected by the player). It mixes single-player mode up by replacing Garbage Puyo with Point Puyo (Garbage Puyo that add bonus points when cleared) and Hard Puyo (Garbage Puyo that need pops of 2 adjacent Puyo rather than one to be cleared out, whether simultaneously or individually) Sun mode, originating in Puyo Puyo Sun, has Sun Puyo drop when a player offsets Garbage Puyo. Clearing Sun Puyo powers up your chains, but due to how they fall like Garbage Puyo, they can often be more harm than help. In addition, the screen has 2 hidden rows instead of 1, which allows for a maximum 20-chain, instead of Tsu's 19-chain. Fever mode introduces different piece dropsets for each character, and the Fever gauge, which fills up each time a player offsets Garbage Puyo. Once in Fever mode, preset chain setups are set on the player's field. if the player successfully sets off the chain, a bigger chain setup is given. If they don't, a chain setup of equal or lower chain value is given. Puyo Puyo 7 has the Transformation mode, a version of Fever mode where the Fever Gauge is replaced by a Transformation Gauge. Filling it up gives you either a child-like or adult-like form. The child form plays much like Fever mode did but with smaller puyo, while the adult form has you clear as many Puyos as you can, with bigger Puyo. Puyo Puyo Box has the Quest mode, a campaign that infuses Puyo battles into an RPG. Attack affects your combo strength, defence mitigates the strength of your opponent's combos, and speed affects puyo drop speed. In addition, Experience is determined by combo size, and equipment can enable or disable mechanics like previews of your next puyo pieces and being able to offset puyo. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: While it is completely possible to do 19 chains in a standard field (which has one hidden row above), anything above 10 builds incredibly close to the top, risking a quick defeat from a small chain, and anything above 15 would require the perfect setup to fit it. We're talking chains you build yourself. Fever mode's pre-built chains don't count. The puzzle edit function featured in some games allow players to easily create their own beautiful but highly-impractical chains. | |

Continue Countdown | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_30882a05 | comment |
Continue Countdown: Several of the earlier titles featured this, but were eventually phased out after the later releases of Fever. Puyo Puyo (1992) featured a defeated and flabbergasted Arle on the ground with a panicked Carbuncle in the background. Puyo Puyo 2 has a defeated Arle sprawled on the ground with a Dramatic Spotlight. Timing out the countdown will drop a giant Puyo on her to finalize the Game Over. Puyo Puyo Sun puts Draco-Centauros, Arle, or Schezo in the scene where they lost, slumping in defeat when the timer ends. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: In Champions, when playing on Ranked League mode, if your opponent disconnects right before the character selection screen shows up, you will find yourself in a single-player character selection, akin to an Endless mode. When you get to the match itself, you find yourself playing against a large, pitch-black Ringo, but without an enemy player. Since there is no enemy player, you can't win, and losing does not award any stars to the opponent. This effectively softlocks the game, forcing the player to disconnect or close the game to leave this match... and of course, since you've disconnected, you get a penalty. See this glitch in action here. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: A failed attempt at this by Compile is the reason why Sega currently owns Puyo Puyo. To alleviate some of the financial stress that Compile was going through in early 1998, they worked out a deal with Sega where they sold the rights to the series but retained nearly-unrestricted usage for roughly four years. Masamitsu Niitani planned to use the borrowed time to raise enough money (presumably through the multitude of Spin-Off titles) to buy the series back, but the damage was already done to the company's reputation and they didn't even make it to the end of their deal before they abandoned the series. | |

Multiplayer Difficulty Spike | |

Multiplayer Difficulty Spike: Most definitely. The ability to perform a 5 chain is enough to carry you through the first three games' single-player modes, but you'll need a lot more than that to defeat an expert player. The spike is slightly lessened in the Sega games, as opponents in Free Battle can perform anywhere from 3 to 6 chains at will. | |

Love Dodecahedron | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_4523420b | comment |
Love Dodecahedron: A huge one. Minotaurus wants Rulue, who wants Dark Prince, who wants Arle, and Arle isn't interested. Some fans add another line by making Arle interested in Schezo, who has shown no (real, intentional) affection ever, but has gotten plenty of Ship Tease with a great deal of the cast. On top of that, Incubus wants Arle, though it's not clear whether it's for real reasons or just because he's an incubus. And in other games, Incubus has pursued Witch, who is Schezo's Implied Love Interest. Complicating matters even further, Arle and Ragnus are an Official Couple in the Kadokawa novels (Made by Yamamoto, not Kenji Oda), where Arle is the center of a harem. | |

Sound-Coded for Your Convenience | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_457d9e88 | comment |
Sound-Coded for Your Convenience: In Champions, characters speak the current chain number when they pop Puyo, only using their "spell" lines on the last segment of a sufficiently large chain. This lets you know if you can safely continue to build or if you need to launch your counterattack now, instead of having to learn each character's spell names or count how many times they shouted their final spell once they reach 9 chains. | |

Game Mod: The PC versions of the Puyo games see opportunities for players to swap out characters for others. Behold, Hatsune Miku (predating the Puyo Puyo 39 minigame in Project Mirai, no less) and Haruhi Suzumiya in Fever, shown here. For more modern examples, there's the Squid Sisters in place of Jay & Elle in Puyo Tetris. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The MSX/FDS Puyo Puyo's competitive mode is an afterthought, only Arle and Carbuncle are present, and the game uses six colors. Multiple playable characters didn't exist until Sun; Arle narrated both sides of the field in the first two arcade games. And in Sun and Yo~n, characters had six "named" attacks instead of the five that they are given in the Sega games. Minna de Puyo Puyo, Sega's first original Puyo Puyo game, was done in the style of the Compile games. It only contains former Madou Monogatari characters, exclusively uses Tsu rule, remixes older music, and features an art style with muted colors and super-deformed characters. It was Fever that gave us the Soft Reboot, saccharine art style, and Comeback Mechanics that define Sega's take on the series. Haro no Puyo Puyo in its entirety, as the other games in the Kidou Gekidan Haro Ichiza series are mahjong games. The DS games have portraits of the characters that appear on one of the screens that react to events during the game, such as being close to losing or close to winning, while another screen is dedicated to the Puyo gameplay. In Fever and Fever 2, the Puyo gameplay is on the top screen while the characters are on the bottom screen; in 15th Anniversary and it successors, their placement is inverted. | |

Arcade-Perfect Port | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_519e6bb9 | comment |
Arcade-Perfect Port: The Mega Drive versions of the first two arcade games almost qualify. The gameplay, graphics, music, and sound effects are perfect, but the arcade hardware for both games has an extra chip that makes the voice acting possible; as a result, the first game gets rid of all but three of the voice clips while Tsu plays them at a noticeably lower quality. The (second) Wii Virtual Console ports of both games are straight examples. | |

Broad Strokes | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_547196be | comment |
Broad Strokes: The general approach to the Compile era by Sega. There are occasional nods to the older games (such as Witches having to earn the right to have a proper first name), but Sega has also handwaved, ignored, and/or flat-out re-imagined characters and aspects from Madou Monogatari and Compile's Puyo Puyo games. It doesn't help that the one novel that claims that there actually is a continuity longer than a couple of games is under the Madou Monogatari banner, calling into question whether Sega even owns that material. This even applies within Madou Monogatari itself, between the multiple versions of kindergarten-age Arle's adventures and the wildly different Game Gear versions of Madou Monogatari II and III. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_5e965a73 | comment |
Nice, Mean, and In-Between: A much more downplayed example with the 'A Trio'. Arle is the Mean, Amite is the Nice, and Ringo is the In-Between. Arle is by no means cruel, but she is still the most likely of the three to have a nasty habit of agitating her opponents. Amite doesn't have a single mean bone in her body. Ringo is much more considerate than Arle, but will still occasionally poke fun at her opponents. The Primp Town Magic School kids also form this despite being a quartet instead of a trio. Amite is the Nice, Raffina/Klug are the Mean, and Sig is the In-Between. As stated above Amite is incredibly nice and kind to everyone. Raffina and Klug both have massive egos and tend to look down on others. Finally, while Sig is nice, his rather apathetic way of speaking makes him come off as rude sometimes. | |

Not Allowed to Grow Up: The Fever series has this thing: Anti-Aging magic. This allows the likes of Lemres and Ms. Accord to remain youthful regardless of how much time passes. Assuming Sega ever feels the necessity to explain why their original cast never gets to age (like how Compile did), they can always use this as a convenient solution. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Puyo Puyo games on mobile generally don't use the normal match-3 mechanics, with Puyo Quest using erasure of Puyo obstructing a line, and Puyo Touch using changing the one Puyo that ISN'T the right color by dragging the right color over it. Notably averted by the 90s handheld Puyo Puyo games, which include real AI instead of resorting to the "fill a gauge while fending off random attacks" gameplay that was commonly employed by handheld ports of competitive puzzle games at the time. | |

Soft Reboot | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_60ea0814 | comment |
Sega tried imitating Compile with Minna before resorting to this trope. Fever wiped the slate clean from a narrative standpoint via a Soft Reboot; it introduced a new setting, new art style, and mostly new characters. Many of the new characters (especially the ones that survive the 15th Anniversary and 7 cuts) are human schoolchildren, creating an environment far different than the originals' strange take on fantasy RPG tropes. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Several examples. Most players agree that where there would normally be a learning curve, Puyo Puyo has a learning wall. With an incline of more than 90 degrees. The core concept of matching 4 same-colored pieces is simple enough, and new players can get lucky with chains by throwing pieces into random spots, but consistently and deliberately doing anything higher than 2- or 3-chain requires months upon months of practice, learning how to deal with the pieces the RNG throws out, balancing chain setup with opponents throwing garbage at you, etc etc. Even in a single-player vs-CPU game, if you can't do chains well, expect to meet a quick and hopeless end. Hit particularly hard by this trope were people going into Puyo Puyo Tetris from the Tetris side and playing through the single-player Adventure Mode. The first Puyo game in particular didn't have the Offset rule, not to mention that the arcade version is played using one button. | |

As for the content, it's one of the rare Puyo games without any story or anything resembling a cutscene, and most of the game is just battling with AI or local/online multiplayer. It is meant to to cater to the competitive crowd, or just lovers of Puyo Puyo's gameplay in general. | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: The Fever ARS trio + Klug (who frequently hangs out with them) are a spot on example of this. Amitie - Sanguine: Friendly, cheerful and optimistic, but also scatterbrained and disorganized with her life. Raffina - Choleric: Short-tempered, rude and very haughty, but also hardworking and determined to prove her worth. Sig - Phlegmatic: Gentle, quiet and compassionate, but his lack of energy and interest on most things make him come off as lazy and yielding to the will of others. Klug - Melancholic: A rational and perfectionist genius student who's not afraid of harshly criticizing others, yet becomes easily embarrassed when he's proven wrong or made a fool of, which happens very frequently. | |

Attract Mode | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_6caf4f3f | comment |
From 20th Anniversary to Puyo Puyo Tetris, Arle, Amitie, or Ringo will imitate the classic "SE-GA!" call as the game boots up. After going through the Attract Mode at least once, the game chooses another character (this time from the entire cast) to say it. | |

Fantastic Flora: In Sig's Secret, Amitie describes flowers being planted for the Primp Festival called "tsukimawari", a name derived from the Japanese word for "sunflower". They do act like sunflowers, only they grow facing the moon instead of the sun. | |

Cosmetic Award: 20th Anniversary, Tetris and Chronicle have a Shop option allows you to buy alternate Puyo appearances, alternate voice clips, and in the case of 20th Anniversary, alternate character designs. The latter two often come with unique AI patterns. Most of Haro no Puyo Puyo's unlockables are alternate voice clips that can be equipped to each character. The game's final boss, Gihren Zabi, is an exception. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Pretty much every game. For example: The plot of the first arcade game is essentially "Arle has learned a new spell and she's going to go beat Dark Prince with it!" ...and even that much comes from the instruction booklet of the home ports. The Cut-and-Paste plot from the English arcade game (and presumably Puzlow Kids) has "Silvana" defending her home against the Dark Prince's Black Kingdom. Tsu is basically Arle showing she's the best Puyo player in the world, and is invited by Dark Prince to ascend a tower to prove it. In Sun, Dark Prince enlarges the sun as part of a devious plot to... get the ultimate tan. In Yo~n, a magic trick by the Dark Prince gone wrong has Carbuncle disappear, revealing at the very end that Doppleganger Arle possessed the Dark Prince and commanded him to steal Carbuncle for her in order to lure Arle into a life-or-death battle after getting wind that Arle has been living the life they both should have been living. Notably, with the portable version, it completely drops the implied Kill and Replace and plays it as All Just a Dream. Most of the plots are excuses for the Fever series, as they're all done to play the named game; Fever 1 has finding Accord's cane (with no explanation why and how she lost a flying wand), Fever 2 involves trying to find a special guest and some MacGuffins, 15th Anniversary is a tournament... 7 has something along the lines of, "The 7 wonders of the world, to play Puyo with 7 players." Turns out it isn't much of an excuse, though, as all of those battles rip open a dimensional rift... The plot of Puyo Puyo Tetris really just boils down to several levels of Tempting Fate through random musings, usually by Ringo, that all come true in often the worst ways. The MSX game, the first two Nazo Puyo titles, and Champions don't even bother. | |

Vanity Plate: From 20th Anniversary to Puyo Puyo Tetris, Arle, Amitie, or Ringo will imitate the classic "SE-GA!" call as the game boots up. After going through the Attract Mode at least once, the game chooses another character (this time from the entire cast) to say it. In Puyo Quest the call formerly was done only by Arle. After version 10.0 went live, the Spacetime Detective Agency joins in as a group. Compile's recurring jingle shows up sporadically in the earlier titles. It plays in Sun's arcade version when the player inserts credit into the machine, and becomes the All-Clear jingle in at least one of the handheld games. | |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience | |

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: The Puyo themselves, as matching them by colour is part of the core gameplay. Arle, Lilith and Doppelganger Arle physically look identical, except Arle wears blue, Lilith wears purple and Doppelganger Arle wears red. The Primp Town magic school students represent Puyo colors. Amitie wears a red Puyo hat, Raffina's Sailor Fuku-ish shirt prominently features yellow, Sig has blue hair and sometimes wears shirts that have blue on them, Lidelle features lots of green in her color scheme, and Klug's signature outfit is purple. Similarly, the crew of the S.S. Tetra all represent the various Tetris pieces and their colors. Tee’s outfit features various different shades of purple, Ess has green hair and a small bit of green on her dress, Ai has blue lining on his clothing and boots, Jay and Elle wear a blue and orange jumpsuit respectively, Zed has a big red Z tetrmino painted on his body, and O’s body is yellow. | |

Put on a Bus: Everyone except Arle and Carbuncle after the Changing of the Guard in Fever. Commuting on a Bus: Panotty before Minna put him on the bus long-term. There's also the Sega characters mentioned under Demoted to Extra. The Bus Came Back: Puyo Puyo!! Quest has almost every single character from both eras; additionally, Nasu Grave, Zoh Daimaoh, and Skeleton-T appear in exactly one "regular" Sega entry before disappearing again. Long Bus Trip: The characters that have yet to show up in Quest, including Zombie, Mini-Zombie, Sukiyapodes, Nomi, and Choppun, are either on a long trip or flat-out Exiled from Continuity. | |

Cosmetically Different Sides | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_7706dd0f | comment |
Cosmetically Different Sides: In Tsu-based modes, all characters have the same chaining power and dropset. It is, however, averted in Fever-based modes, where characters have variable dropsets and (in most cases) chaining power. Either way, it is also averted when the AI is playing, as each character has a different playstyle, even in Core Mode. | |

Sudden Name Change: The name of the titular slimes changed from "Puyopuyo" to simply "Puyo" deep into the Compile-era. Inverted with "Puyo Puyo Hell", which was originally the In-Universe name of the game but eventually mutated to refer to the Dark Prince's dominion.note It was Bowdlerized into "Puyo Underworld" for the English versions. | |

Vague Age | |

Vague Age: In regards to the original series, it's averted. Arle is 16, Rulue is 18, Schezo is 180*At least according to Shin Madou Monogatari's Chronology. His age in every other case is unknown., Ragnus is 10 or 17, and so on. The age for the post-Fever cast, however, is very ambiguous. The only real clues we have is their status in magic school. Lemres is a senior magic student, meaning he's the oldest when compared to the Primp Magic School students and is senior to Feli. Ringo and Maguro attend Suzuran Junior High, meaning their age is no older than 14 or 15. Risukuma, who attends the same school, has seniority over them, but never states how wide the age gap is. | |

Songs in the Key of Panic: When the bottom two-thirds or so of the player's area is completely filled, the game switches to a frantic danger theme, fittingly titled "Warning of Puyo Puyo". Some Sega-era games start the theme early if the player has enough Nuisance Puyo waiting for them to create such a situation. The Compile-era version of the theme is the only Puyo Puyo song that is retained in Kirby's Avalanche; Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine changes the tune to a remix of Dark Prince's theme. | |

Bad Powers, Good People and Bad People: Despite being half-demon, Sig doesn't care about it and seems to care only about his friends and bugs. It should be noted that, besides Akuma, most demons and monsters before are protrayed as Jerkasses or being Affably Evil, as well as Sig's ancestor being part of the demon within's Klug's book's original body. There's an unknown, but possibly good, reason that the demon was sealed away in the first place, something nobody even did to any previous demon. When the demon posses Klug, he intends to wound or likely kill Sig to get his remains. | |

| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_89499ccf | comment |
Dolled-Up Installment: The first Puyo Puyo game on the MSX2 did not originally involve anything from Madou Monogatari, it was instead originally designed as a game where you would stack dominoes. Adding Arle, Carbuncle, and the Puyos was later incorporated to give the game more character. Kirby's Avalanche, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, and...Timon and Pumbaa's Bug Drop? Given the series's history with this trope, Haro no Puyo Puyo almost feels like a subversion. Attempted (in 2015!) with Puyo Puyo!! Quest becoming Cranky Food Friends, but it was caught and then proceeded to crash and burn before even being released. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name With An S: Questionable romanizations are as old as the series itself, beginning with Sukiyapotes instead of Sukiyapodes or Sciapod in the first arcade game. After years of calling Puyo Puyo's resident cute, horned genie "Jan", western fans discovered that most official romanizations render her name as Jarn or Jarnne. The fandom switched to Jarne...right after the 25th Anniversary Book rendered it as Jan. (It helps that said book is rife with examples of this trope, including Demon Sarvant.) Serilly's name was romanized as "Seriri" for the longest time, and even appeared in Minna, a game that was localized. The Puyo Puyo Champions localization instead spells her name as "Serilly". Similarly, the formerly named Lagnus has been retranslated as "Ragnus" in Champions. However, the non-English versions dialed back the change and named him Lagnus again in Tetris 2. | |

Mini-Game: Not in the series proper, but it is one in Sega Superstars, Sega Superstars Tennis, Yakuza 6, Sonic Mania, Judgment and several others. And that's saying nothing of the other mini-games at Puyo Puyo Fever's websites. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The standard Puyo Puyo board can hold up to 71 pieces without triggering a loss. However, not only is it possible to queue up more than that to your opponent's board, but unique symbols exist for attacks of 180, 360, 720, and even 1440 Nuisance Puyo. Yo~n takes it up to eleven with unique symbols for millions and even a trillion Nuisance Puyo. Of course, the whole point is to have your own big chain ready to counterattack with, but if you don't have one...You Are Already Dead. | |

Complete Immortality | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_91b5521d | comment |
Complete Immortality: Several characters visibly are mortally injured, but come right back in later instalments, none the worse for wear. Most notably, there are absolutely no Game Overs in the Madou Monogatari games, and Doppelganger Arle is banished to another dimension when she loses in Yon. In one of the dramas, Arle even finds said dimension. Both the Puyo and Madou Monogatari games exclusively call losing a battle receiving a "batankyuu" in Japanese, which is like saying that the loser goes "night-night". There are only rare, story-related exceptions to that rule, such as when Schezo was briefly presumed dead (Madou Monogatari: Chaotic Final Exam) and Lemres and Amitie discussing the possibility of Sig's personality being erased (Sig's Secret). | |

Retraux | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_92dfffae | comment |
Retraux: Puyo Puyo Box is visually based on the first two arcade games; the game even goes so far as to draw new, retro-styled portraits for the characters introduced in Sun and Yo~n. Additionally, the Original, Tsu, and Sun rulesets retain the choppy, grid-like vertical movement from their home games while Puyo drop smoothly in Yo~n rule. The Anniversary titles gives players the option to change their Puyo's appearance. These alternate Puyo skins include the MSX game's Puyo, the same game's "Human" set, and the Puyo as they appear in the first arcade game. The games' "Original", "Tsu", and "Sun" rules also use the choppy movement described above, while the other modes use smooth-dropping Puyo. The eShop logos for the international versions of Sega Ages Puyo Puyo and Sega Ages Puyo Puyo 2 are done in the style and font of the Neo Geo Pocket Color Puyo Pop, as the NGPC Puyo Pop was the first localized console/handheld port to retain the Puyo name. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Whether actually invoked or not, there are several instances of this in the series. The most common one is a character never rotating their puyo, not even under Core AI. Skeleton-T and Dapper Bones have this trait in all appearances, as well as Draco in 20th and Tetris. They are still fairly good at chaining under Core AI, however. The second most common one is never trying to manually drop their puyo, letting gravity do so instead. Lidelle and the aforementioned characters are examples of this. Draco in 7 is a vast exaggeration of this, as her AI does not change in the slightest under Core AI, unlike other examples. This situation can be enforced on certain versions of the first arcade game, as well as Mean Bean Machine, through the use of a second controller. In 7, no character AI ever tries to take advantage of hard drop in Transformation mode, for some reason. They also hardly ever bother defending against incoming attacks, preferring to keep building their chain instead, and getting buried by nuisance puyo as a result. The latter is particularly interesting, as it does not happen in Fever mode. If the AI gets a giant Puyo and only the final row of the third or fourth columns is left free, they will rapidly shuffle colours while dropping very slowly, often losing the match right after. This happens even if they have other free columns, or even if they can turn the giant Puyo into a colour that avoids defeat. If the AI reaches Fever and is not in immediate danger, they will start building a chain that breaks the prebuilt one, wasting a long time in the process. Similarly, if they reach Fever while another player was popping their chain and sending Nuisance Puyos to them, they will likely react as if they were in danger and break the fever chain in a wrong way, even if those Nuisance Puyos are going to the background tray. | |

Big Bad | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Varies per game. After the original series, the villains got less effective. Most, if not all, of the games before Fever had Dark Prince as the final boss, for varying amount of (silly) reasons. He establishes a tower in Tsu, and sends an invitation to challengers all over to reach the top and eventually battle him. In Sun, he enlarges the sun and causes an unbearable heat wave on an island, all to try and pick up girls with a tan. In Minna, he broke apart a hot springs ticket and turned them into runes to send Arle on a hunt for them, with said trip as her "reward". If he wasn't, it was likely due to someone overshadowing him. Such as Doppelganger Arle in Yo~n, who takes control of him, uses him to capture Carbuncle, and lure Arle into a duel so she can replace her. Fever technically had Popoi, a talking cat-puppet-shadow who has Accord's lost Flying Cane. But it turns out Accord staged the entire thing to get her students to finding something she never lost. 7 had an effective villain in Ecolo, who takes control of Arle to try and flood the world with Puyo. 20th seemingly didn't have one, until the Extra route puts together Ecolo and Dark Prince's plot to fufill everyone's wishes, which leads to Ecolo possessing Dark Prince to do something crazy... Tetris has Ex, though he's Not Evil, Just Misunderstood, if anything. He is behind the world merging, but it was out of neglect of duty. Loneliness put an emotional toll on him, inadverdently letting two worlds come together. Chronicle makes it seem at first that Dark Prince is behind everything, but it's later revealed that Ecolo was the catalyst for yet another near-apocalypse by creating the threatening and powerful would-be annihilator of existence, Rafisol. Tetris 2 has Marle, and in a twist from the usual reveals, the game establishes early on that she's the one merging the worlds. It's later revealed that she's also victim to the problem at hand and the actual instigator of the incident is Squares. Squares in particular is the first antagonist of the series to play this trope straight, as he posed a legitimate threat in the game's story, though he is turned good by the end. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: Many, many examples throughout the series. Heck, the very nature of the game means that there will be times where the color that you need just won't show up. "Nohoho AI" back in Tsu. Nohoho (and his Fever counterpart Donguri Gaeru) would stack Puyo to the brim on the three rightmost columns on the field, clear one group, and pray the pile would magically create a chain or two. It may sound impractical (competitively speaking), but it won't be a laughing matter if you get hit with a five or six chain. (Suketoudara, Harpy, and Yu & Rei use similar "gimmick" stacking patterns, but none of theirs are quite as effective.) | |

Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_9a117348 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: Goes as follows in Fever 1 and 2, being onomatopoeias for excitement. RunRun: "euphoric", for the shortened Easy difficulty. WakuWaku: "exciting", for the Normal difficulty. HaraHara: "thrilling", for the Hard difficulty. Additionally, setting the difficulty for VS play utilizes spiciness levels, going from "Very Sweet" to "Very Spicy". This goes back to the earliest Puyo games, where the cursor is even a plate of curry that turns redder with spice, and subtly alludes to it being a favorite dish of Arle and Carbuncle. It was even a high-power recovery item in the Madou games. | |

American Kirby Is Hardcore | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_9d09bf1a | comment |
American Kirby Is Hardcore: Puyo Pop on the GBA changed several pieces of dialogue when it was localized, mainly to emphasize Arle's Deadpan Snarker characteristics. This is especially noticeable when you compare it to the hidden English translation in the Japanese version. The Dolled-Up games are also a case of this. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine has more crude artwork with larger emphasis on shading and more sinister-sounding music, with the characters themselves being goofy-looking robots that tend to be depicted with rather sinister or smug faces when the player starts losing. In keeping in-line with the Trope Namer, Kirby's Avalanche meanwhile depicts Kirby as more of a Trash Talker than he is normally and advertisements compare him to a criminal. | |

A lot of match-three games released after the first arcade Puyo Puyo would include a competitive multiplayer mode where characters send "garbage" objects to the opponent's screen to obstruct their movements and also make them lose (most multiplayer match-tree games either had no interaction between both players or, in the case of Columns, sent garbage lines a la Tetris instead), the possibility of making chain reactions to send even more garbage objects at the same time, and a countering mechanic, among other elements. | |

Ascended Extra: Any of the Madou Monogatari Mook characters that appear beyond the first two Puyo Puyo titles could count. The most notable examples are Skeleton-T, Draco Centauros, Suketoudara, and Witch. (The last of whom goes from Mooknote Most Madou games to playablenote SUN, Yo~n, and Minna to The Cameonote Puyo Puyo 7 and then back to playablenote 20th Anniversary onwards.) There's also Harpy, Incubus, Panotty, Serilly, Nasu Grave, and Zoh Daimaoh, who become playable characters in SUN, Yo~n, 15th Anniversary, and/or Chronicle & Champions. Not to mention Doppelganger Arle, and the characters prominent in the Nazo Puyo games (i.e. Succubus, Demiserf, Jaan, etc.) who all returned for Puyo Puyo!! Quest. Alex, Sultana, Ciel, Penglai, Hed, Hartmann and Paprisu (in a later update) went from being previously exclusive to Puyo Puyo Quest, to being playable in Puyo Puyo Champions. Legamünt and Rozatte would do the same as part of Tetris 2's third DLC wave. | |

Status Quo Is God | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: Between Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 and 2, Ringo and co. initially don't remember anyone in the Tetra crew, as if they've met for the first time. In addition, there have also been occasions where the Puyo cast has slight difficulty remembering each other between games. That said, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 finally provides an In-Universe reason for this. To ensure the order between dimensions is sustained, Marle wiped their memories of their previous adventure. It's safe to assume that this memory-wiping has been the case for all games following 7, with Ringo being the only exception due to her intellectual honesty giving her a Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory. | |

Cheat Code | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_acf4e51b | comment |
Cheat Code: Most SEGA era Puyo games have them, enabled through certain button commands, though varies between consoles. On the title screen from 15th Anniversary and onwards, players can input a button sequence to unlock all of the unlockable content. Games with shops such as 20th Anniversary gives you 9999 points to breeze through the shop items, which are excempt from the unlock. The most prominent of these is the infamous "Max Level AI" cheat, which takes Very Spicy AI and removes the kiddie gloves, performing feats up to par with competitive players. There's also a cheat that lets a CPU play in place of the player during free battles, if one wishes to sit back and watch the AI duke it out. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: In the first two games, Mean Bean Machine, and Kirby's Avalanche, a mugshot of the opponent is shown on the screen. As their side of the screen fills, they will gain a scared/frustrated look on their face, then start sweating, and finally start flashing. The games also try to invoke this in the player, as the enemy gains a happy/smug look when the player's field is more than half-full and panic music starts playing when there are only a few free rows left. | |

Deadpan Snarker | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_ae3d6438 | comment |
Puyo Pop on the GBA changed several pieces of dialogue when it was localized, mainly to emphasize Arle's Deadpan Snarker characteristics. This is especially noticeable when you compare it to the hidden English translation in the Japanese version. | |

Bootstrapped Leitmotif | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_af21be25 | comment |
Bootstrapped Leitmotif: Several examples. "Theme of Puyo Puyo", or the Stage 1-8 theme, has gone from being something of a misnomer to serving as Arle's theme as of 15th Anniversary as well as the series's answer to Tetris's "Korobeiniki" in Puyo Puyo Tetris. "Area A" from Puyo Puyo Tsu became Carbuncle's theme as of Puyo Puyo Sun. "Area C", also from Puyo Puyo Tsu, has become Witch's theme as of 20th Anniversary. The 2-Player versus theme of Puyo Puyo Sun became Draco's theme as of 20th Anniversary, despite there being a different song in the game serving as her theme. | |

Retool | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_b2283870 | comment |
Retool: Sega tried imitating Compile with Minna before resorting to this trope. Fever wiped the slate clean from a narrative standpoint via a Soft Reboot; it introduced a new setting, new art style, and mostly new characters. Many of the new characters (especially the ones that survive the 15th Anniversary and 7 cuts) are human schoolchildren, creating an environment far different than the originals' strange take on fantasy RPG tropes. The gameplay is also a mild example, with mechanics like 3- and 4-Puyo "pairs", continuous offset (Nuisance Puyo don't fall until the player misses a chain), and Fever mode making survival much easier, thus creating longer matches that emphasize Victory by Endurance. For a bit of reference, the Margin Time mechanic triggers at 96 seconds in Tsu rules, began at 128 seconds in Fever and Fever 2, and ended up increasing to 192 seconds for 7 and later implementations of Fever rules. | |

Duels Decide Everything: Just about any problem that happens can be settled with a Puyo match. An elephant blocking your way? Settle it with Puyo. Going to stop the Big Bad's plan of the day? Settle it with Puyo. Two people trying to stop the Big Bad but only one of them can? Settle it with Puyo! If you're part of the crew of the SS Tetra, it's settled with Tetris, and it works much the same way. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Minotauros, Mamono, and Owl Bear, all of which were final bosses in the Madou Monogatari series: Minotauros eventually becomes a background character, Mamono is a generic opponent in Tsu, and Owl Bear serves as an "extra" battle in the same game. The latter two might be justified, given that Arle defeated them while in kindergarten. Mamono's demotion is Lampshaded in versions of Tsu that feature pre-battle conversations; the poor creature starts crying when Arle figures out that he isn't the final boss. In a meta example, Puyo Puyo~n & Columns is named Sega Columns Deluxe outside of Japan. Fever mode slowly got hit with this since 15th — being just one of the default modes in that game (Alongside Puyo Puyo, Tsu, and Task) instead of being the only important one, having very few appearances in 7's story mode, with more focus being given to Transformation, and getting the same treatment in 20th as in 15th. In Tetris, Fever itself does not appear at all, and only as an Endless option, partially in Big Bang Mode, and Fever dropsets in PuyoTet Mix. It would eventually return in Champions as one of the two main modes of play, the other being Tsu... only to immediately get the shaft again in Tetris 2 as part of the Endless, Big Bang and Fusion modes. Rulue and Raffina, the 'R' characters of their respective 'ARS' trios, wound up getting hit by this. Arle and Amitie both managed to retain their major roles as main protagonists, Schezo gets the occasional side-story dedicated to him in recent games, and Sig remains prominent enough in marketing and other official media, even if not so much in the games proper. All that said, Rulue and Raffina have largely been relegated to being mere side characters and are usually now characterized by their relationship with other characters, most commonly the Dark Prince and Klug respectively. | |

Market-Based Title: The series was originally localized as Puyo Pop. This held until SEGA 3D Classics Collection and Project Mirai DX, when SEGA suddenly decided to roll back the title and simply call it Puyo Puyo worldwide. Puyo Puyo eSports kept the Puyo Puyo name but dropped the "eSports" subtitle in favor of "Champions". | |

Aerith and Bob: The major Compile characters are all named following European fantasy conventions, including exotic, but still distinctly European-sounding names (like Arle or Schezo) or just typical folkloric creatures from the continent (Witch, Satan, etc.). The sole exception is Suketoudara, which literally means "Alaskan Pollock" in Japanese. Of the S.S. Tetra's crew members, Jay and Elle are both names that people have in real life. Granted, this is only because of a Dub Name Change, as their names are J and L in the Japanese version. | |

The most common one is a character never rotating their puyo, not even under Core AI. Skeleton-T and Dapper Bones have this trait in all appearances, as well as Draco in 20th and Tetris. They are still fairly good at chaining under Core AI, however. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Puyo Puyo was never particularly dark, but it became even softer starting with Fever. The original series, while still largely made for younger audiences, did indulge in some Fanservice and things that might be considered gross or strange like zombies and foot monsters. When Sega took the helm, they swept most of that away and introduced their own cuddly stable of humans and creatures. Sega can be edgy at times, but odds are that we'll never see pinup shots of Draco or a kid zombie losing his eyeball ever again. Quest, being a giant The Bus Came Back moment, provides some insight as to where Sega stands on Compile's work. Most of the characters are kept, but the aforementioned zombies and foot monster (along with a few more characters) are completely absent, Succubus goes from a Dominatrix to something far less provocative, and the summer-themed Draco card dons a fairly-conservative beach top and shorts instead of going for the obvious Sun Call-Back. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The arcade games reduce the Puyos' drop speed whenever the player uses a continue. It will only do so twice per enemy, though, so Puyo will still drop ridiculously fast against late-game opponents. This seemingly does not carry over to the home ports. Tsu introduces double rotation. To make a long story short, it enables the player to flip their currently-controlled pair of Puyo if they are locked into a tight space. All the Puyo Puyo games in the SEGA era have a cheat code which unlocks everything except the in-game shop's content, removing the need to play through the entire game. The ability to look up each character's enemy description in SEGA AGES Puyo Puyo 2 was billed as this for Japanese fans, particularly for the harder-to-reach "last chance" opponents like Owlbear and Zombie. That being said, this feature was likely intended for international fans so that Sega could translate the enemy descriptions without having to modify the game itself. Champions and Tetris 2 both get Color-blind Settings, granting accessibility to color-blind players that feel the Puyo shapes aren't different enough, or want to use a specific skin but can't differentiate. | |

Heinousness Retcon | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_d79f4a9e | comment |
Heinousness Retcon: Lemres goes through this during the installments despite not appearing until the sixth installment. In the fifth installment, Ocean Prince's transformation from a prince to a fish is first explained as the result of a curse against his will. However, when Lemres is introduced in the sequel as the wizard who did it, the prince says he asked to be transformed so he can escape his princely duties, lessening Lemres's responsibility (though he's aware that turning someone into a fish is not something that is praised). Later in the series, his backstory is expanded to reveal that he never liked being a dark mage, and seeing the prince happy with his transformation made him realize that he wants to bring happiness to others with his magic. | |

Cast Herd | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_ddb124b3 | comment |
Cast Herd: There's so many charactersnote and this isn't even close to everyone that everyone's in certain groups to better keep track of where everyone falls under. They are: The Compile-era characters, who were introduced when Compile were developing the games in the 1990s. Pretty much everyone there was introduced in a Madou Monogatari game before a Puyo Puyo game except Ragnus and Chico. This is the largest group in the series with so many characters being somewhere between one-offs to major reoccurring characters, even to this day. The Fever-era characters, the first generation of new characters when Sega started taking over the series. They tend to consist of anyone introduced in Puyo Puyo Fever and Puyo Puyo Fever 2. The characters introduced from Puyo Puyo 7 onwards, which is the smallest group of them all as new characters were introduced in small batches while Sega rotates the cast of returning characters in later games. These are the characters introduced in 7, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Puyo Puyo Chronicle, and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. Puyo Puyo!! Quest has so many original characters that they have their own Cast Herd in the form of card series, sorted in groups of 5 (and maybe a lore fest being the 6th) fitting a certain theme. | |

Artificial Brilliance | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_df11acbe | comment |
Artificial Brilliance: The AI definitely has its moments in the Sega games: If the AI faces an impossible amount of Nuisance Puyo, but might still win by waiting out the opponent, it will exploit the game's rotation mechanics in order to keep its active Puyo in the air for as long as possible. This most commonly occurs in the Anniversary titles' Original and Excavation rules. On the other hand, if an AI is gaining Nuisance Puyo at the top of their field, they will drop their Puyo as fast as possible in an attempt to quickly build a counter-chain. Characters who normally build large chains will occasionally break from their usual behavior if the player is about to lose; instead, they will attempt to prevent a comeback by making a chain that is just large enough to win the game. Some will also abandon their usual patterns if they have the ability to obtain an "All-Clear" bonus. Exaggerated when Core AI is initiated. Invoked by holding a certain button combination while selecting the COM opponent, this "cheat" allows the character's AI to go without any restraint; they will always drop their Puyo at full speed (and use Quick Drop if allowed) and will build strong chains. The AI tries to exploit Fever mode's rules to its fullest. If there are nuisance puyo in their garbage tray, the AI will try to make as many chains as possible, one after another, in order to reach Fever. This ties with the aforementioned situation where the AI will start dropping Puyos at a much faster pace before starting to stall your chain. | |

Limited Animation | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_e034faef | comment |
Limited Animation: Spell animations tend to be short and snappy, but there are some cases where it's noticeably cut back. 4-player battles in Chronicle and 8-player battles in the DS versions of 15th, 7, and 20thnote As well as the 3DS version. minimize the actions to still images. Not necessarily a bad thing though, as attempting to fully animate eight players at once would not only be liable to framerate drops, but also might be hard on the eyes when everything is happening at once. All over the place in 7. There are only about three sprites per character during their normal form, and two (some even only have one sprite with moving limbs) for each of their transformation forms. Carbuncle lacks any transformation forms and reuses two of his pre-existing sprites for his transformations (probably because he's an animal). Champions solely uses still images for the chain cut-ins, and even those are kept to the sidelines. This is done to keep all the attention on the gameplay while keeping the visual distractions to a minimum. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Arle's design in general improves immensely from one version to the next for Madou Monogatari, and further improves over the course of Puyo Puyo, as Arle matures. Happens to the characters over the course of Sega's run. Fever 2 dials back the color saturation, and 20th Anniversary adds shading, giving it a more refined appearance. Compare, for example, Amitie's appearance in Fever 1 from the initial version in 2004, then redrawn as a special card variant in Puyo Quest in 2018, right here.◊ | |

Flanderization | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Certain character traits have become noticeably stronger as the series has progressed, notably: Arle & Carbuncle's love for curry, just how dedicated Rulue is to the Dark Prince, Amitie's need to restate her future aspirations constantly and, Sig's obsession with bug catching. It should be noted, however, that aside from some rare instances, such as the story mode of Puyo Puyo Chronicle, none of this is actually bad enough to consume their entire characters, as they are also given noteworthy Character Development aside from that. (For example, Arle and Sig have become more overall caring people starting with Puyo Puyo~n and 15th respectively, Rulue has forged a friendship with Raffina and Amitie has had more of her personal vulnerabilities shown, and Schezo making a sloppy but active attempt at reeling in his poor wording.) | |

RPG Elements | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_ebe55efb | comment |
RPG Elements: Puyo Puyo Box featured a Quest Mode in which you fight monsters Puyo-style; equipment would boost attack and defense, and heavier equipment would make your Puyo fall faster. Heck, the Quest Mode itself has examples of tropes. Heart Container: They're sprawled around the world and must be found. Broken Bridge/NPC Roadblock: The bridge isn't broken, Schezo's sleeping on it! But Thou Must! Not: You cannot say "Yes" to Dark Prince at the end of the game. Then again, would you want to marry him after all the trouble you went through to get that instead of something cool? I don't think so. Said quest mode has a lot in common with the Nazo Puyo spinoffs. Its successor in Puyo Puyo Chronicle is even more blatant, where you can recruit party members and accept sidequests. The battles themselves also use more RPG mechanics like enemy health and character skills. | |

In Yo~n, a magic trick by the Dark Prince gone wrong has Carbuncle disappear, revealing at the very end that Doppleganger Arle possessed the Dark Prince and commanded him to steal Carbuncle for her in order to lure Arle into a life-or-death battle after getting wind that Arle has been living the life they both should have been living. Notably, with the portable version, it completely drops the implied Kill and Replace and plays it as All Just a Dream. | |

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_f48d0f54 | comment |
Tetris has Ex, though he's Not Evil, Just Misunderstood, if anything. He is behind the world merging, but it was out of neglect of duty. Loneliness put an emotional toll on him, inadverdently letting two worlds come together. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Both the Puyo and Madou Monogatari games exclusively call losing a battle receiving a "batankyuu" in Japanese, which is like saying that the loser goes "night-night". There are only rare, story-related exceptions to that rule, such as when Schezo was briefly presumed dead (Madou Monogatari: Chaotic Final Exam) and Lemres and Amitie discussing the possibility of Sig's personality being erased (Sig's Secret). | |

Ambidextrous Sprite | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_f5a22215 | comment |
Ambidextrous Sprite: Arle was the only one that played this straight, as her armor pads were the asymmetrical aspect of her design. This lasted up until 20th, where her current appearance is entirely symmetrical. Sig, Ecolo, Ringo, Ess, Jay and Elle, and Zed avert this, each having a second set of sprites to reflect their asymmetrical aspects (Sig's left arm, Ecolo's "?", Ringo's hair clip, etc.) | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In terms of gameplay, starting with 7, new characters tend to borrow Dropset and Chaining Power stats (and sometimes the AI) from characters of previous games that are not playable (if both characters end up being playable in a following game, the newer one gets a new Dropset). Between the release of 20th and the introduction of Paprisu in Champions, no new character received new Dropsets. This is completely averted in Tetris 2 as the new characters Marle, Squares, Sonic, Legamunt and Rozatte all get completely new Dropsets. Compile Heart resorted to this trope for Sorcery Saga. They basically gave the old characters new names and designs, but otherwise kept much of the original story intact. | |

Victory by Endurance | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_f962d8a3 | comment |
The gameplay is also a mild example, with mechanics like 3- and 4-Puyo "pairs", continuous offset (Nuisance Puyo don't fall until the player misses a chain), and Fever mode making survival much easier, thus creating longer matches that emphasize Victory by Endurance. For a bit of reference, the Margin Time mechanic triggers at 96 seconds in Tsu rules, began at 128 seconds in Fever and Fever 2, and ended up increasing to 192 seconds for 7 and later implementations of Fever rules. | |

Running Gag | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Many examples. Calling Schezo a pervert, Schezo causing Accidental Innuendo, Harpy's atrocious singing, Incubus trying and failing to flirt with Arle, Draco's obsession with beauty contests, Dark Prince's Carbuncle or Arle obsession, etc. | |

Canon Immigrant: Puyo Puyo and Madou Monogatari share many, many characters and concepts with each other. About the only things that the two series don't have in common — aside from, obviously, the Sega-created characters — are Puyo Puyo~n's Chico and a number of Madou Monogatari Mooks and main antagonists. One of the game modes introduced in Tetris did return for Chronicle: Big Bang, a battle mode where you attempt to deplete your opponent's HP by clearing as many Fever boards as you can within the time limit. | |

Briefer Than They Think | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_fd189d07 | comment |
Briefer Than They Think: The period between the arcade Puyo Puyo becoming a hit and Compile losing the series to Sega is just over five years; even if you take away the roughly three years that Sega essentially let Compile borrow the series, Sega has been running the show for more than twice as long. This is almost certainly due to the sheer volume of Compile's output. For example, they managed to release six unique console and handheld Puyo Puyo games in their final three years despite constantly bleeding talent, amounting to 11 releases if individual ports (save Sega's two handheld ports of Tsu) are counted. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Puyo Puyo (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: More often than not, characters' attack chants are themed around something; Ringo's are based on mathematical terms, Risukuma's are based around love, and Tee's are based on Tetris terms for instance. | |
