Puyo Puyo Rules

The minigame uses the standard rules of Puyo Puyo Tsu. It is simple to play, but challenging to master. In this minigame, all blocks will only contain 2 Puyos of up to 4 colors in one playfield.

The rules are simple: match at least 4 same-colored Puyos together to clear them. Doing so will send gray garbage puyos to the opponent, but it can be countered by clearing at least the same amount of Puyos in their current turn. Otherwise, the garbage Puyos will drop on the random place, interfering their strategy plan. To clear the garbage Puyos, match the colored Puyos beside them.

The strategic way of playing the game is to set up a chain combo. As your chain builds up after Chain 2, your character will do power poses. The bigger the chain combos, the more garbage Puyos sent to the opponent's playfield.

After around 30 seconds into the match, the garbage Puyos multiplier will slowly rise, means that chain moves will send more garbage Puyos than normal. To display the multiplier, press the L button.

The player loses when a Puyo is placed right on the spawn point marked with an X.

The match will be graded and earn Mirai Points depending your competitive performance. MP Multipliers differ by difficulties: Super Easy and Easy difficulties cut the total Mirai Points from the match in half, while Tough difficulty gets 150% of the Mirai Points earned.
