Puyo Puyo Box (ぷよぷよBOX, Puyo Puyo BOX)is a compilation game consisting of modes from previous Puyo Puyo games. It is the last Puyo Puyo title with Compile's involvement.

Puyo Puyo Box, being a compilation, primarily consists of modes from earlier Puyo Puyo games, but also contains original content.

Gameplay

Puyo Puyo Box has a plethora of game modes available to the user. It contains ports of Puyo Puyo and Puyo Puyo Tsu, as well as a RPG-styled quest mode in which the player plays as Arle and battles against members of the other cast in Puyo Puyo matches. It also houses a marathon mode named Scramble Mode in which the player faces 10, 20, or 30 opponents, as well as two multiplayer modes which can be played with either other players or AI substitutes.

For the Quest mode itself, it allows the player to customize the armory in ways in which made Arle stronger with a double-edged sword effect. You could remove the Puyo Rings in order to beef up her attack at the expense of being unable to see your next pieces for example, and the amount of experience gained and gold won was relative to how big a chain was scored and how quickly the opponent was defeated.

The key point in the Puyo Puyo gameplay of Box is that the player can choose a ruleset from either Puyo Puyo, Puyo Puyo Tsu, Puyo Puyo Sun, and Puyo Puyo~n. This can effectively lead to four-player battles where each player plays with independent or mixed rules. This game also allowed for team battles to take place. A special multiplayer mode was made available in this game, known as Treasure Mode, which was adapted in Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary as its Excavation Mode.

Scramble Mode

Scramble Mode prompts players to choose between a 10-man, 20-man, and 30-man course. After that, the player is given a semi-randomized gauntlet consisting of characters representing all four mainline Puyo Puyo games released as of the year 2000. The opponents can use any one of the four gameplay rulesets, and the player is prompted to choose one at the start of the game and after each continue.

There are a few things that are not randomized in Scramble Mode:

  • The 10-man course ends with Witch (Sun), Schezo (Sun), and Satan (Original).
  • The 20-man course ends with Lagnus, Doppelganger Schezo, Doppelganger Arle (Original), Rulue (Tsu) and Satan (Yo~n).
  • The 30-man course ends with Chico, Schezo (Yo~n), Doppelganger Arle (Yo~n), Rulue (Yo~n), and Masked Satan.
  • Each Yo~n-rule opponent is assigned a Super Attack that they will always choose.
