Gameplay
editIn total, the game has 20 modes of gameplay, including 8 new modes, and 5 hidden modes from Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary.[3] Except in Mission and Pair Puyo modes, a player is eliminated when they top out, and the last player (or side) standing wins the round.
"Pair Puyo"
editA two-on-two team play mode. The teammates share Nuisance Puyo and "lives" - when one of the teams' field tops out, the board is replaced with a new board with a pre-made chain and costs a life. When all lives are lost, the team is eliminated, and the last team standing wins the match.
The players get bonuses for "Extra Chains" (firing a chain during your teammate's chain) and "Synchro Chains" (firing chains of the same length (3 or longer) at the same time).
Shop
editLike Puyo Puyo Fever 2 there is a shop, but instead of ineffective game play items the players can spend points they get from various modes for exchange of Puyo skins, alternate character voices, and alternate character costumes.
