Puyo Puyo BOX - Gameplay

Gameplay

Puyo Puyo BOX has a plethora of game modes available to the user. It houses the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in the US) versions of Puyo Puyo and Puyo Puyo 2, as well as a Madou Monogatari-style quest mode in which the player plays as Arle and battles against members of the other cast in Puyo Puyo matches. It also houses a Stage Clear mode in which you have to face either 10, 20, or 30 opponents, as well as two multiplayer modes which can be played with either other players or AI substitutes.

For the Quest mode itself, it allowed the player to customise the armoury in ways in which made Arle stronger with a double-edged sword effect. You could remove the Puyo Rings in order to beef up her attack at the expense of being unable to see your next pieces for example, and the amount of experience gained and gold won was relative to how big a chain was scored and how quickly the opponent was defeated.
