Take the popular Japanese game Super Puyo Puyo and put Kirby into it. Presto! It's also one of the very few games where Kirby talks, and that's... probably for the better, given his attitude.

"Ooh, I'm sooooo scared."

View Credits#

Hold L + Right on controller 1 and R + Left on controller 2 while powering on or resetting the game to view the end credits.

Extra Options#

Normally, if you hold down A+B+X+Y on Controller 2 on power-up or reset, you will get the expanded "Custom" and the additional "Special Custom" menu, but only with the first four options.

Use the code 80FFF002 to expand the additional "Special Custom" menu to include even more options, and also make it instantly accessible without requiring the button code. Many of these options are identical to their counterparts in Super Puyo Puyo.

  • Fall Blob — How much garbage will be sent to the opponent's side upon clearing Puyo from the board. Available options are (With the corresponding Price values in brackets) Minus (A0), Normal (46), Plus (32), Panic (1E) and Hurry (00).
  • Mode: — Exit the option menu while holding L to go to the selected game mode, or select EASY from the COMPETITION menu. VS CPU does not appear to work.
  • Stage — You must choose the Learning Stage after choosing a character to get this to work. Starts the game from any stage.
  • CPU Player — Meant to control the opponent for the selected VS CPU mode in the Mode selection above, but does not appear to work.
  • Time Disp — Displays CPU usage by dimming the top of the screen.
  • Link Volm — Number of blobs/puyos required to make a link.
  • Hard — Normal or Special.
  • Sousai — The offset rule from Puyo Puyo Tsuu, or at least a prototype version of it. The ball of light graphic doesn't animate when offsetting, and there is not an offset bonus when the garbage queue is overcome.
  • Price: — Same as Fall Blob, but allows you to set the exact hex value.
  • Ojama Score — Score received when clearing garbage Puyo (which affects the amount of garbage puyo you send when you clear puyos).
  • Hi Speed — Doesn't seem to work.

It is exactly the same game as Super Puyo Puyo, but the unrecognizable Japanese characters in the original game have been replaced with Nintendo's Kirby characters. The game play is IDENTICAL, and the game ROCKS!"↩︎
