Puyo Puyo (ぷよぷよ, Puyopuyo) is a Japanese puzzle game developed by Compile as a spinoff to their Madou Monogatari series of RPGs. The original Puyo Puyo was released in 1991 for the MSX2 computer and contained a basic one-player free-play mode, missions, and basic two-player mode. However, Sega and Compile worked on a heavily expanded version for the Sega System C-2 arcade board and released it in 1992. This version has been ported to various consoles, including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System, and Sega Game Gear, and has formed the basis for the entire Puyo Puyo series. In North America and Europe, it was initially released in a heavily localised form, the Sega version being Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

As part of plans to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the series, in early 2011, Sega announced a Virtual Console rerelease of Puyo Puyo with online multiplayer support — the first Virtual Console game to be modified in such a way.

Gameplay

The game is played with a multicolored set of blob-like creatures called puyo. They drop down from the top of the screen in sets of two, where the player must place these pieces such that four or more of the same color are adjacent to each other. Once matching, the adjacent colors disappear ("Rensa") and blobs on top fall downwards. Chaining together multiple matches in a row scores more points. The player loses the game if the board is filled to the top.

In two-player mode, the players compete with each other by attempting to create more matching chains than the other, causing inconvenience to the other player by dropping dummy pieces onto their board. A player wins if the opponent's board is filled to the top.
