Super Mario Puyo Pop

Super Mario Puyo Pop is a puzzle game for the Wii U and 3DS.
==Plot==
Princess Peach is hosting a Puyo Pop Party! It's a contest at her castle during which participants battle in the color-crazed puzzle game, Puyo Pop!
Shortly after the tournament, Puyo Pop goes viral in the Mushroom Kingdom! Everyone is playing it and joining in on the action-packed puzzle battles.
Even Bowser and the Koopalings get their heads in the game. But this isn't good news for Mario.. Bowser and the Koopalings are planning to take over the Kingdom with their own version of Puyo Pop! Oh no! How will Mario and his friends stop them?!
==Gameplay==
Super Mario Puyo Pop's gameplay is based off of the SEGA series, Puyo Pop. Players must connect 4 Puyo of the same color in order to pop them and send Block Puyo to the opponent. The player that has no more space on their field or touches the X area of the field loses.

===Types of Puyo===
Unlike the original Puyo Pop games by SEGA, the puzzle pieces in Super Mario Puyo Pop are not colored blobs. Instead, they are blocks, yet are still referred to as Puyo.
* Mushroom Block - Colored blocks with pictures of Mushrooms on them. They replace the regular colored Puyo from the original series. They come in red, blue, yellow, green, and purple.
* Brown Brick - regular bricks that appear on an opponent's field when you attack them with chains. They replace the Block Puyo from the original series.
* Gold Brick - bricks that appear on an opponent's field when you attack them with chains. If a player pops Mushroom Blocks that are touching Gold Bricks, the player's attack power will increase greatly. Gold Bricks are used in some battles such as those against Wario, Waluigi, Lemmy, Pauline, Birdo, and sometimes Daisy.They replace Point Puyo from the original series.
* Ice Brick - bricks that appear on an opponent's field when you attack them with chains. They make battles the most difficult because unlike normal bricks, one cannot pop them in one move. After they are popped, they transform into regular Brown Bricks, which then must be popped again. They are used in some battles such as those against Wendy and sometimes Rosalina. Ice Bricks replace the Hard Puyo from the original Puyo Pop series.
==Playable Characters==
Super Mario Puyo Pop has a vast amount of characters. Although they do not vary in stats, they add a lot more to the game aesthetically. Characters may also have alternate costumes, which can be unlocked through various accomplishments.
* Mario - the main character of the game. When battled as a CPU, Mario is a strong opponent and usually attacks with 3-5 chains. He is usually battled with only 3 colors, but during the last fight against him, he is fought with 5 colors.
** Alternate costumes: Cat Mario, Fire Mario, Tanooki Mario, summer outfit (Sunshine shirt, shorts, and no cap.)
* Luigi - He is very excited when it comes to a game of Puyo Pop. Like Mario, he is a strong opponent when fought as a CPU, usually performing 2 or 3 chains.
** Alternate costumes: Cat Luigi, Fire Luigi, Kitsune Luigi, casino outfit (from Super Mario 64 DS, white dress shirt, black vest, but with no cap.)

==Enemies==
Enemies also appear in the game. They can also be played as in free battle.
They are fought in between more important character matches. For example, in the stage Morton's Fort, The list of opponents goes as follows. Dry Bones, Piranha Plant, Dry Bones, Wario, Waluigi, Morton. Another example is Sherbet Land, which goes as follows: Ice Piranha, Bumpty, Mr. Blizzard, Rosalina, Lemmy, Larry.
Enemies usually start with a lot of bricks on their side of the field, so as to make their matches shorter. During fights with more important characters, such as a boss, there are little or no bricks on their starting field.
Enemies may also have sub-species, which function the same way as the alternate costumes of regular characters.
