Super Columns (スーパーコラムス) is an update to Columns, released exclusively for the Sega Game Gear in 1995.

Story

The evil merchant Surhand wants to harness the power of a mystical amulet in order to conquer all of Phoenicia. His citadel is guarded by four henchmen, who are all masters of Columns. They must be defeated to save Phoenicia.

Gameplay

Endless mode and Story mode

Super Columns is a falling block puzzle game like its predecessor. Columns of three differently colored gems fall one at a time, and the player must arrange three gems of the same color in a row, column, or diagonal line to eliminate them. The game adds new types of blocks and the ability to rotate the columns horizontally. The player moves columns with and and drops them faster with . Their colors are cycled with , and they are rotated with .

The game adds a Story mode, wherein the player must defeat five opponents three times each in order to advance in the game. During Story matches, both the player and the player's opponents can unleash various spells, indicated by a numbered display that ascends as gems are matched. Each spell has a different effect, such as increasing the speed at which opponent columns fall or restricting the opponent's ability to rotate their columns. There is also a Versus mode that follows the same rules as the Story mode where two players can compete over a Gear-to-Gear Cable.

Like in previous Columns games, there are also Endless and Flash modes. In an Endless game, the player matches gems until inevitably reaching a game-over. The player progresses to a new level at certain points thresholds, and the speed of the gameplay increases with each level. Flash mode presents the player with 10 puzzle stages where all flashing gems must be matched and eliminated in order to progress to the next stage.

Spells

In the Story and Versus modes, gaining points increases the gauge. The player can select a spell with + and perform the selected spell with +.

Gauge Number	Points	Spell
1	50	Sends stone blocks to the other player.
2	100	Prevents the other player from rearranging his or her columns.
3	150	Increases the speed at which the other player's columns drop.
4	200	Lowers the player's base level.
5	250	Gives the player a magic gem.

Special Blocks

	Bomb Block
	Eliminates the entire row, column, or diagonal line when three are matched.
	Glitter Column
	Appears in Flash mode. When it makes contact with a gem, it causes all gems of that color to disappear.
	Stone Block Column
	Appears in the Story and Versus modes. Stone blocks can only be removed by Magic Columns and cannot be set horizontal.
	Magic Column
	Appears in the Endless, Story, and Versus modes. The upward arrow causes gems above it to disappear, the center square causes gems the color as those that are touched by it to disappear, and the downward arrow reverses the screen.
	Reversal Column
	Appears in the Endless, Story, and Versus modes. It causes all gems the same color as the one that the column contacts to disappear.

+==Gameplay==
+{{ScreenThumb2 | Super Columns, Endless Mode.png | Super Columns, Story Mode.png | width=160 | Endless mode and Story mode}}
+''Super Columns'' is a falling block puzzle game like its predecessor. Columns of three differently colored gems fall one at a time, and the player must arrange three gems of the same color in a row, column, or diagonal line to eliminate them. The game adds new types of blocks and the ability to rotate the columns horizontally. The player moves columns with {{left}} and {{right}} and drops them faster with {{down}}. Their colors are cycled with {{2}}, and they are rotated with {{1}}.
+The game adds a Story mode, wherein the player must defeat five opponents three times each in order to advance in the game. During Story matches, both the player and the player's opponents can unleash various spells, indicated by a numbered display that ascends as gems are matched. Each spell has a different effect, such as increasing the speed at which opponent columns fall or restricting the opponent's ability to rotate their columns. There is also a Versus mode that follows the same rules as the Story mode where two players can compete over a [[Gear-to-Gear Cable]].
+Like in previous ''Columns'' games, there are also Endless and Flash modes. In an Endless game, the player matches gems until inevitably reaching a game-over. The player progresses to a new level at certain points thresholds, and the speed of the gameplay increases with each level. Flash mode presents the player with 10 puzzle stages where all flashing gems must be matched and eliminated in order to progress to the next stage.
+===Spells===
+In the Story and Versus modes, gaining points increases the gauge. The player can select a spell with {{up}}+{{2}} and perform the selected spell with {{up}}+{{1}}.
