Puyo Puyo Fever 2 (ぷよぷよフィーバー ２【チュー！】, Puyo Puyo Fība 2 (Chū!)) is the sequel to Puyo Puyo Fever. It is set in Primp Town, the home of the previous game's magic school and introduces several new characters including Sig, who plays a major role in the game's story. This game's adventure mode follows Amitie, Sig, and Raffina through their individual stories in a format similar to Puyo Puyo Sun.
This game was followed by Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary.
Story
The game boasts nine courses, three times of that from the original Puyo Puyo Fever. Each of the three main characters (Amitie, Raffina, and Sig) has three courses, each with a different story. In general, the main plot of the WakuWaku course involves meeting Lemres, a mage from the school in the neighboring town who is visiting Primp Magic School, and the plot of the HaraHara course involves stopping Klug, who was possessed by the spirit sealed in his book.
RunRun Course
The RunRun (るんるん, runrun) course in Puyo Puyo Fever 2 is a tutorial course that explains the basics of Puyo Puyo Fever. It starts at a dialog with Ms. Accord. Each player faces three others: 2 classmates and then a final test by Ms. Accord.
Raffina
Amitie
Sig
WakuWaku Course
The WakuWaku (わくわく, wakuwaku) course is also similar to the original course in a similar manner, except that the WakuWaku course only lasts for 6 stages, unlike the previous game's same course(which had 8 stages).
Raffina
In the opening scene, Raffina meets Butler, who is searching for the Ocean Prince. Butler makes a deal with Raffina in order to convince her to help. Throughout the rest of the course, Raffina is basically shown pushing other characters out of the way as she attempts to find Ocean Prince (who she plans to turn back into a human in order to make him her "prince").
The final dialog shows Lemres turning Ocean Prince into his human form, Prince Salde, as Butler tries to catch up with him, who struggles away from Lemres and Raffina. Raffina then looks at the item she gets from Butler, the Shellfish of Thinking, in disgust. The screen fades and the credits roll.
Amitie
Amitie begins her course at Primp Magic School, where Accord asks her to meet up with a visitor (Lemres) since she cannot do so personally due to something coming up. However, Accord neglects to tell Amitie who the visitor is, so Amitie sets off rather aimlessly, encountering and challenging random characters.
As the course ends, Amitie seems to be embarrassed for beating up Lemres, the visitor whom she was supposed to meet up with. Amitie is then shown apologizing to Accord while holding a coughing Lemres.
Sig
Sig's course begins on a dialog with Accord. Apparently, Amitie forgot the observation data notebook for the flower she was supposed to be watching, so he plans to give it to her. However, at this point Accord has already sent Amitie off to meet Lemres. Since Accord forgot to give Amitie a description of Lemres, she gives Sig a note to give to Amitie along with the notebook.
This course ends with Sig reading the letter that he was supposed to give to Amitie, the letter consisting of a picture of Lemres, the person Amitie was supposed to meet. Realizing this, Sig picks Lemres off the ground and shakes him, which heals him, and then leaves.
HaraHara Course
The HaraHara (はらはら, harahara) course is similar as well, having the full 8-stage length from the previous game.
Raffina
The course begins with Lemres informing Raffina that his purpose for coming to Primp Town was to deliver the "Stone of Moon," but lost it on the way. He convinces her to help him find it by inserting the fact that it is said to improve one's complexion, thoroughly exciting Raffina.
The course ends with Raffina taking the Stone of Moon from Possessed Klug, with the latter asking if she's concerned about Klug, whom he's currently possessing. Raffina says that she really doesn't mind him being in Klug's body, seeing as she only came for the Stone. She heads back to Lemres, and says she got the stone, but that it's broken. Lemres actually explains that it has to be broken in order to use it. Raffina rejoices as Lemres heads back to Feli and Balanders, revealing to Feli that he didn't tell Raffina that the stone's effects only last for 3 days before it's put back together.
Amitie
The course begins with the spotlight focused on Klug, who plans to increase his magic power by unsealing his book through the use of three magic items, although he still needs the Stone of Moon that Raffina was looking for. Amitie runs into Klug and defeats him. Annoyed by his defeat, Klug threatens Amitie to meet him in the ruins and fight him in his unleashed form.
The story - and the game itself - ends with Amitie rejoicing that she won against Possessed Klug, while he begs her not to take the bookmark inside the Tome of Sealing. Amitie slips it out of the book and asks if this is the one he means, with Possessed Klug screaming as he's sealed back into Klug's book and Klug gets his body back. The latter tells Amitie that it was just an experiment on what happens if someone is possessed. Lemres joins in on the conversation and the three decide to go back to the school, having a good laugh while doing so.
Sig
Possibly taking place after the events of Raffina's WakuWaku course, Sig meets Prince Salde - Ocean Prince in his human form. Wanting to return to his fish form in order to deceive his Butler (known in this story as "a pursuer"), Salde bribes Sig with free meals and naps in order to have him help find the Lantern of Star, which is necessary to transform him into a fish again.
The course ends with Prince Salde reaching for the Lantern slowly as Possessed Klug laments that he lost. While he's distracted, Salde grabs the lantern, turning back into the Ocean Prince. He and Sig head back to the ocean and say their goodbyes... only for the Ocean Prince to be eaten by a whale.

Development
Pre-release

Reason: Missing citations for all of this information. |
After the success of Puyo Puyo Fever, SEGA, originally wanted to create an expanded version of Puyo Puyo Fever known as "Puyo Puyo Fever +/Plus".
Its original focus was simple: add new characters, revamp older characters and eventually add new extras to the game.
During development, it eventually turned into a sequel where the player could explore Primp Town and talk with Primp residents along the journey. In this stage, it was called "Puyo Puyo Town", but was later renamed to "Puyo Puyo Fever TSU!" to align with Puyo Puyo Tsu's title. After these name changes it was finally named "Puyo Puyo Fever 2 (CHU!)".
Its internal development name was "Puyo Puyo 6".
The game had a quick development time, with its development time being around 8-10 months based off its announcement date.

Because of said fact, a new director Mizuki Hosoyamada had to replace the role after this starting with Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary.
Cheats
- Unlike Puyo Puyo Fever, every version, with the exception of the DS version, does not contain any kind of cheat codes, even ones didn't have item alternatives(like the character items) in the Story and Endless Tower modes.
- All of the following cheats that do exist(corresponding to the DS version) are also carried over from the DS version of Puyo Puyo Fever.
- Harder CPU in Battles (Core AI Cheat)
- Hold R while selecting the CPU character, then press A/START with the buttons held. The CPU opponent will now have faster movement.
- Use Dropsets in Endless Modes
- Hold X while selecting your character in any Endless modes outside of 'Endless Tower', then press A/START with the buttons held. The previously all-pair dropset, normally used as Arle, will now have the chosen character's dropset. Unlike Puyo Puyo Fever, high scores can be saved into the records if you use this cheat.
- Use TSU Ruleset in Free Battle
- Hold X while selecting your character and/or your opponent in any of the Fever-related rules(Fever, Trap or Custom), then press A/START with the buttons held. You/your opponent will now have a TSU/Classic Rules board, following the rules of said mode.
- Set Player as CPU
- Hold SELECT, then press A/START on your difficulty selection during the start of each match. The player's character should now be controlled by the CPU(with their own AI routine). (Hold R + SELECT to activate Core AI CPU for your character.)
- Instant Win/KO All CPU's in Free Battle
- Press L + R + SELECT during a match. This will KO all CPU's, which instantly wins the player(s) the match if there's only 1 human-controlled player remaining or if there are no opposing human-controlled players remaining.
Trivia
- Possessed Klug uses a unique voice pattern.
- In terms of character strength, Baldanders is the weakest character in the game, both inside and outside of Fever.
- The PSP version contains 2 alternate takes for "Let's Begin" and "Always Fun Popping Puyos!"under the names of “B001” and “TAISEN0” respectively
- The DS version has many duplicate tracks, Popoi's Theme and the Staff Roll from Fever 1, and an unused track from the GBA version of Fever 1. The latter would become used in Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary.
- The PS2 version was meant to have online play that featured downloadable books and lore and gave you the option to play "Free Battle" Puyo matches online, similar to the PC port of Puyo Puyo Fever, but that function was removed in the game's final version.
- Each version's boxart corresponds to a different protagonist.
- The DS boxart focuses on Amitie.
- The PSP boxart focuses on Raffina.
- The PS2 boxart focuses on Sig.
Bugs
- In the PSP version, trying to drop a Puyo with Nuisance to fall in the Nuisance Queue while the opponent's chain is happening sometimes causes said Nuisance to fall in their board, which may cause an unexpected loss for the player depending on the situation. This usually occurs the most when a match has begun and one of the players didn't drop their first/second Puyo yet by the time their opponent executes their chain.
- Getting a 'drawn game/match'(two boards touch the "X" spot at the same time) against the computer in the Story and Endless Battle modes in certain stages(which normally makes you lose the match anyway) will sometimes cause the game to crash. All unsaved data will be lost if this occurs. (Confirmed with DS(Story-only), unknown with PSP(both modes), untested with PS2.)
- Due to an oversight in the DS version, if you enter the Download Play mode(or just go into the Waiting Room in this mode), then exit, then go to any of the computer-related Free Battle modes, all character animations will still be simplified. This can be reversed by entering any of the multi-cart multiplayer modes then exiting said mode.
- All of the Puyo Fever 1 Nuisance-related bugs return here.
