Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun (Japan) (GBC)

**Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun** is a classic falling-block puzzle game for the Game Boy Color, based on the popular Puyo Puyo series. The primary objective is to strategically match colored puyos to form chains and send nuisance puyos to your opponent's screen.

In **Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun**, players drop pairs of puyos from the top of the screen into a well. When four or more puyos of the same color connect horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, they disappear. The core mechanic revolves around creating "chains" or "combos." This occurs when disappearing puyos cause other puyos above them to fall and create new matches, triggering a continuous reaction. Each successful chain sends "nuisance puyos" (also known as "garbage puyos") – un-clearable blocks – to the opponent's playfield. The opponent must clear these blocks by making chains beneath them, or if their screen fills to the top, they lose.

A distinguishing feature of the "Sun" version is the introduction of the special "Sun Puyo." When players clear a certain number of puyos or create large chains, a Sun Puyo may appear. When cleared, this Sun Puyo causes a larger explosion, clearing surrounding puyos and sending an even greater amount of nuisance puyos to the opponent, providing a significant strategic advantage. The game requires quick thinking, foresight, and agile reactions to maximize chains and outmaneuver opponents. Various game modes are available, including a Story Mode where you battle different characters, and a Vs. Mode to challenge friends.
