Puyo Puyo Box (2001). Play online

Summary

Puyo Puyo Box is a PlayStation collection that bundles the classic Genesis ports of the original Puyo Puyo and Puyo Puyo 2, then builds on them with plenty of extra modes. The standout is a Madō Monogatari‑style Quest where I guide Arle Nadja through battles, equipping a double‑edged sword, swapping out her Puyo Rings for raw power, and earning gold and experience proportional to chain size and speed.

A straightforward Stage Clear challenge throws ten, twenty, or even thirty foes at you, while the multiplayer suite lets up to four players mix and match rule sets from Puyo Puyo, Puyo Puyo 2, Sun or ~n, creating chaotic team or free‑for‑all battles.

Treasure Mode adds a hidden‑item hunt that later resurfaced as Excavation Mode in the 15th‑anniversary release.

This compilation also marks Compile’s final Puyo Puyo entry before the franchise fully transferred to Sega.
