'''''Puyo Pop''''', known as {{nihongo|'''''Minna de Puyo Puyo'''''|みんなでぷよぷよ|Minna de Puyo Puyo|'''''Everybody Puyo Puyo'''''}} in Jpaan, is a video game developed by [[Sonic Team]] and published by [[Sega]] in 2001. |
|||
{{nihongo|'''''Minna de Puyo Puyo'''''|みんなでぷよぷよ|Minna de Puyo Puyo|'''''Puyo Pop''''' in Western territories}} is a substory of the Puyo Puyo series created by [[Sega]] in 2001. This is the last game to use a pure Compile cast after [[Compile (software company)|Compile]] went bankrupt and gave the rights to [[SEGA]]. The Japanese title means "Everybody Puyo Puyo", which refers to the game's four player mode. The Western title is simply named Puyo Pop, because previously all other releases had been masked by various alterations (except for the Neo-Geo Pocket version of [[Puyo Puyo Tsu]]). Fans have dubbed it Puyo Pop GBA, to avoid confusion when using its English title. |
|||
Out of all the Puyo Puyo games, this one seems to be the most directly influenced by [[Puyo Puyo Tsu]], though some of the elements in game are reminiscent of [[Puyo Puyo~n]], such as Rule Henka. |
|||
== Storyline == |
|||
Satan is once again up to no good. He splits up five gold runes, and they are handed off to different individuals across the globe. Satan then sets up a Puyo Puyo contest. Carbuncle runs off for it, and Arle give chase, thus starting her strange journey to collect the runes and find Carbuncle. At the end, it is revealed that the Runes are actually a ticket for Arle and himself to go and bathe at some Hot Springs, made from the finest curry powder with the faintest scent for Carbuncle to trace. Arle then breaks the curry blocks, foiling Satan once again and leaving him to cry hysterically, whilst Arle uses the blocks to make curry. |
|||
== Single Puyo Puyo == |
|||
This mode is essentially the game's story mode. Each course is unlocked as Arle progresses through the story. An interesting feature of this mode, however, is the ability to attain and deliver various items throughout the courses. The item side quest can be played after clearing the game. Each item is received after the player completes the course for the second time. The player navigates through six different areas, each with their own special Rule Henka. These are as follows: |
|||
* Hamaji Forest |
|||
* Gold Town |
|||
* Gachinko Dungeon |
|||
* Magical Tower |
|||
* Dark Prince Castle |
|||
* Trial Labyrinth |
|||
Each area is unlocked by completing the previous area before it, but Trial Labyrinth has to be unlocked after completing an item delivery quest following the completion of the first five areas a second time. |
|||
== Double Puyo Puyo and Everybody Puyo Puyo == |
|||
These are the game's two player and four player modes respectively. They allow for both single and multi-cart play. The Point and Hard Puyo rules can be used once they are unlocked. Carbuncle and Satan can also be used once they have been unlocked. |
|||
== Easter Eggs == |
|||
*After finishing the game, an item delivery quest starts when the player finishes Dark Prince Castle again. |
|||
*Finishing the Item quest unlocks an additional course for Single Puyo Puyo. |
|||
*Eventually, the player will be able to collect character cards of the cast after beating the game and/or finishing the item side quests. Each card features artwork of the character, and also allows the players to hear their voices by pressing the A button. There are 20 cards in all, with Cards 19 and 20 being unused music from the game. |
|||
*The ranking screen includes names from other Puyo Puyo characters not included in this game, which are Panotty, Sukiyapodes, Baromett, Mummy, Will-o-Wisp, Nasu Grave, Sasoriman, Pakista, Banshee Trio, and Mini Zombie. Additionally, one non Puyo Puyo character has their name included: [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]. |
|||
== |
== Gameplay == |
||
The plot involves the villain, [[Satan]], splitting up five gold runes and giving them to five other people. The Single Puyo Puyo mode, where players progress through and unlock new courses. |
|||
*To allow the game to be released outside of Japan, Satan's name was changed to Dark Prince, for obvious reasons concerning religion. This also seemed to inspire a fan translation of Tsu to do the same thing. |
|||
*The Soundtrack, spare a few songs, is adapted from the Windows 95 version of Puyo Puyo Tsu, including some music from the Nazo Puyo game included with it. The notation/ocative coming from the Genesis/Mega Drive version and the instrumentation coming from the SFC/SNES version. |
|||
*According to popular belief, all of the voices in the game are borrowed from [[Puyo Puyo SUN]], with Seriri's and Satan's being different (though Satan was voiced by a different Seiyu). |
|||
*Incubus' Voice pattern has an error: the game plays one of his chaining voice clips when he loses instead of the the lose clip. As his lose clip is "Oh my god!" and the lose clip is still in the ROM, it seems likely that the change was deliberate [[censorship]], however Incubus's chaining sounds all refer to [[innuendo]], so fans are critical of this censorship. |
|||
*The only characters from Puyo Puyo SUN not to show up are Kodomo Dragon, Honey Bee, and Choppun. |
