Zuma is a 2003 Aztec-themed computer game, in which the player controls a stone frog capable of rotating 360 degrees and spitting out colored stone marbles. A continuous string of marbles (a "rollout") is pushed down a meandering trench; at the end of the trench is a skull-shaped opening, and if even one marble falls in the hole, the player loses a life. To prevent this, marbles are fired from the frog at the rollout so as to match three or more of the same color; these will explode. When enough points have been scored, new marbles stop rolling onto the screen, and once all the marbles are removed, the level is cleared.Knocking out marbles within a rollout will give you a brief respite as the back of the line closes the gap. However, if the marbles on either side of the gap are the same color, the front of the line will zip backwards, pushing the whole rollout back a little bit. Furthermore, if three-or-more same-colored marbles join this way, they explode too, and it's possible, with planning (or more likely luck), to create cascading chains of matches this way. Certain marbles will have icons on them denoting powerups (slowing the chain, briefly reversing the flow, etc), and on occasion there will be pop-up items outside of the string that give you points, extra lives, etc if you manage to shoot them. Finally, if the map allows it (and most do), you can get extra points in the form of "gap bonuses": open a hole in one rollout and then successfully shoot something that is on the other side of the hole (the other string, a pop-up item, etc).A sequel, Zuma's Revenge!, was released in September '09. This one was a little different; instead of the Mayincatec style of the first game, Revenge! was Polynesian-styled, introduced new powers like Eye Beams, Triple shot, and the ability to switch between pedestals to shoot from, and had something strange for this style of game — bosses based on Tiki gods.A Facebook version was also created, called Zuma Blitz. It adds the ability to check your friends' scores (and compete with them), and centers the formula around this form of "multiplayer" competition by putting a 1-minute time limit on each match. (This is short enough that you almost never die.) There's only one native power-up marble — an hourglass that adds 5 seconds to your current match — but at the end of each match you get "Mojo," a form of currency which can be expended to add up to three Powers to your match (Bomb marbles; more extra-point pop-ups, etc). At the end of each week-long tournament round, you get Mojo prizes if you had one of the top 3 high scores amongst your Friends list. This game has been retired as of March 31, 2017.It's Older Than They Think, being based off an old arcade game called Puzz Loop released in 1998 by Mitchell Corporation (which was released outside Japan as Ballistic on PlayStation, Game Boy Color, and Nuon DVD), which spawned a handful of sequels (including a Nintendo DS port). There is also a competing title by Mumbo Jumbo called Luxor. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Zuma (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: The first game's Adventure. There are four temples of three stages with at least five levels each (in total 76 levels), but only 22 unique levels exist, so how does it make up the rest? By copy-pasting them four times. Double subverted in Revenge!. All 60 levels (minus bosses) in Adventure are distinct from another, so it looks to be an aversion, but after beating it, Heroic Frog mode is unlocked, which has you play through all 60 again, but with an increased difficulty. | |

Hard Mode Filler | |
| Zuma (Video Game) / int_19b89d63 | comment |
Hard Mode Filler: A variation occurs in the first game, which will give you a new color ball and increase the speed by repeating the same three worlds over and over again. For the first three repetitions, an extra level per world might seem to avert this, but it's played completely straight between the third and fourth repetition. The only remaining original level after you compelte world 9 is the sole Space Zone stage of World 13. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Played for laughs at the end of Revenge when the fake "final boss" dies in one hit, followed by partial fake credits, only for the real boss to reveal that you'd actually just "defeated" his cook. After that you get to fight his "final form," followed by his true final form, followed (and completed) by a dark mirror version of your character. | |

Sequential Boss: The Final Boss in Revenge: First you have a short level where you have to extinguish four torches. Then you fight a Trick Boss that throws slow green projectiles and really only has one hit point. After the fake credits are interrupted by the real Zhaka Mu, he initially fights you in a white Moai form that shoots ricocheting fireballs from his eyes and summons minions. When you've got him halfway down, he changes forms and becomes a winged demon that shoots two fast fireballs at a time. And for the final phase, he assumes a Mirror Boss frog form that alternates between launching balls that go in a straight line and those that go in a wavy pattern. | |

Silliness Switch | |
| Zuma (Video Game) / int_6e0898f9 | comment |
The DS version has the Daily Dungeon, which gives you one randomly-selected challenge each in three categories per day; Astro, where your frog takes to space and has to play through ten increasingly speedy waves where the path the rollout follows is invisible; Blitz, where you're given a stage from Story Mode that has two rollouts and are tasked to get as much points as you can before time runs out or a rollout reaches the end of the line; and Boss, where you refight one of Story Mode's boss on a timer. Each of these has a two goals, a regular one that can usually be completed the first time (complete all waves for Astro, get a certain number of points in Blitz, and beat the boss below the par time), and a second one that takes more effort (no missing any shots [they all need to hit something], use item balls a certain amount, get a chain of a certain amount, etc.). Clearing one goal gets you a stone calendar piece, while clearing both gets you a stylish gem-encrusted treasure piece. If you fill out a calendar by getting all of the pieces 5 days in a row, it empties and you progress to the next week, and occasionally something silly is added to the title screen when you clear enough weeks (such as the man holding the main menu putting on a Hawaiian shirt and growing a beard). | |

Version-Exclusive Content | |
| Zuma (Video Game) / int_a868d6e | comment |
Version-Exclusive Content: Revenge! varies depending on whether you're on console/PC or DS. The console versions have the Weekly Challenge, exactly what it sounds like; Iron Frog, where you get one life to get through ten levels; and Boss Rush, where you fight all eight bosses back to back. They also have the Spirit Temple, where medals you earn in the Story Mode (three per level: one for completing the level, one for reaching a score threshold in the level, and one for beating a par time in the level) can be used to power up spirit animals that boost abilities like how fast you shoot and how frequently fruit appears, as well as how many points it gives. The DS version has the Daily Dungeon, which gives you one randomly-selected challenge each in three categories per day; Astro, where your frog takes to space and has to play through ten increasingly speedy waves where the path the rollout follows is invisible; Blitz, where you're given a stage from Story Mode that has two rollouts and are tasked to get as much points as you can before time runs out or a rollout reaches the end of the line; and Boss, where you refight one of Story Mode's boss on a timer. Each of these has a two goals, a regular one that can usually be completed the first time (complete all waves for Astro, get a certain number of points in Blitz, and beat the boss below the par time), and a second one that takes more effort (no missing any shots [they all need to hit something], use item balls a certain amount, get a chain of a certain amount, etc.). Clearing one goal gets you a stone calendar piece, while clearing both gets you a stylish gem-encrusted treasure piece. If you fill out a calendar by getting all of the pieces 5 days in a row, it empties and you progress to the next week, and occasionally something silly is added to the title screen when you clear enough weeks (such as the man holding the main menu putting on a Hawaiian shirt and growing a beard). | |

Scoring Points | |

Scoring Points: Points are awarded for various things, ranging from merely breaking balls, to shooting bonus fruit targets, to beating the par time on the level. Points for basic things tend to come in numbers from 10 to 100, with numbers in the thousands coming out for particularly impressive things like finishing a rollout far away from its end point. | |

Pre-Final Boss: Parodied and double subverted in Revenge. After completing level 60, you end up in a small level with 4 torches, and the game tells you to extinguish them. After doing so, you will face a boss that has twice as much health as the other bosses...except it dies in one hit. You then get the to see the ending credits...until the REAL final boss appears. | |

Title Confusion | |
| Zuma (Video Game) / int_cfeb01b3 | comment |
Title Confusion: "Zuma" is the name of the ball game that you're playing, as can be inferred from the dialogues, not the frog (as commonly believed) or the sun god. Early on, the PopCap Games blurb for the game invited you to "Control the ball-blasting idol of the ancient Zuma", suggesting that Zuma was either the name of a god the frog idol represents or of the Mayincatec civilization that created it. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: Once you clear a rollout of a particular color, it stops getting fed into the frog's mouth. You have unlimited lives while facing the tiki gods of Revenge!. Presumably because of the increased difficulty of aiming with a controller instead of a mouse or touch controls, the console versions of Revenge! give you infinite lives throughout the whole game. | |

All three of these games have the common factor of PopCap Games being involved with them. | |

Bait-and-Switch Boss: The Final Boss in Revenge, Zhaka Mu. After putting out the four torches, the mysterious cloaked figure reveals themselves to be a chicken-themed boss monster with an enormous health bar. He goes down in one hit, and the credits roll, at which point it turns out he was really Zhaka Mu's chef, Drumstick Willie. Cue the real Zhaka Mu's entrance, and the toughest boss battle in the game. Funnily enough, on repeat play throughs, Willie doesn’t even try to hide the secret and after being hit, just tells you to enjoy the fake credits. | |
