Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, more casually known as Puzzle Fighter, is a single or double player puzzle game first released in Japan in the spring of 1996 by Capcom on the CPS-2 arcade system. Shortly after its Japanese release, the game was released in other parts of the world where it received modest popularity in gaming communities. Puzzle Fighter has steadily maintained its popularity among both new and longtime fans due to its easy to learn, lighthearted, and entertaining gameplay.
Although it has "II" in it's title, it is not a sequel of any game. The title essentially spoofs the Street Fighter II series (in particular Super Street Fighter II Turbo), while the music and interface elements spoof that of Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter Alpha 2.
Gameplay
Puzzle Fighter is a puzzle game which appears to be inspired by
Puyo Puyo. As in that game, the player controls pairs of blocks ("gems" in game parlance) that drop into a pit-like playfield (twelve blocks tall by six blocks wide, with the fourth column from the left being thirteen blocks high). In
Puzzle Fighter, however, gems can only be eliminated by coming into contact with a Crash Gem of the same color, which eliminates
all adjacent gems of that color, setting up the potential for huge
chain reactions. As gems are eliminated, "garbage blocks" called Counter Gems will drop into the opponent's playfield; these will eventually become normal gems, but only after they count down to zero (most Counter Gems start at "5" and are reduced by one each time a new pair of gems is dropped on that board), and until that time they cannot be eliminated by normal means. (the only way to eliminate Counter Gems before they become normal gems is to place a Crash Gem of that color nearby so it eliminates at least one normal gem). If this is done, all Counter Gems
immediately adjacent to the Crash Gem will be taken out as well). Additionally, gems of the same color that form
squares or
rectangles (of at least two blocks tall or wide) in the pit become a giant Power Gem of that size and color; eliminating these as part of a combo increases the number of Counter Gems that would otherwise normally appear on the opponent's board. The only other type of piece to appear is a
diamond, which eliminates
all the gems—normal, Power, Counter, and Crash alike—of whichever color gem it lands on (this, too, will cause Counter Gems to appear on the opponent's board; however, it will always be a lesser number than if the same number of gems had been eliminated as part of a normal chain reaction). The diamond piece appears every 25 pieces.
