[[spoiler: He returns to normal though when he gets the Lantern of the Stars back from Strange Klug, though.]]
** [[spoiler: Ekoro apparently used the "power of imagination" to become human, creating Unusual Ekoro. However, Unusual Ekoro is only an alternate costume, and doesn't effect the story at all.]]



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In 20th Anniversary, Ringo basically tells an amnesiac Ekoro that people don't enjoy pranks, but really enjoy Puyo matches instead. [[spoiler: Bad idea. Ekoro soon gets bored with making people happy through Puyo matches one person at a time and tries to find a way to make [[WellIntentionedExtremist everyone happy on a large scale,]] eventually going as far as to try to possess Satan himself.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Lemres? ''Why'' did you give Klug a book with a demon inside, knowing he would find a way to exploit it? ''Why'' did you get lost in the desert when you have a flying broom? '''''Why''''' did you wish for the sea to turn into chocolate!?

Added DiffLines:

''Puyo Puyo'' is a series of FallingBlocks puzzles games created by the now-defunct company {{Compile}}. It is now owned by {{Sega}}, which distributes it internationally as ''Puyo Pop''. The object of the game is to flood your opponent's board with Nuisance Puyo by making chains with several multi-colored Puyo which explode when four of the same color are connected.

Just how popular is this in Japan? A [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bbf-Z2IgnVY LOT]] of effort went into the Japanese ''Puyo Puyo Tsu'' Championship. Just look at the '''crowd''' eagerly watching the puzzle game (not quite a Korean ''{{Starcraft}}'' tournament but still). Keep in mind that this is ''televised''. Hey, ''Fever'' matches can get at least[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdDMsNBBKOI + 180,000 views]] and ''Tsu'' matches can net + 1,000,000 views. If you know how to build some amazing chains, ''that's'' about + 1,600,000 views. Then many people hack the game to make their own mods, and that can get...not as many, though a still rather respectable number of views.

The games in the series are:
* Puyo Puyo (1991; primitive version for MSX and NES)
* Puyo Puyo (1992; ArcadeGame that displaced the earlier version)
* Puyo Puyo TSU (1994)
* Puyo Puyo SUN (1996)
* Puyo Puyo~n (1999)
* Puyo Puyo Box (2000; largely a [[CompilationRerelease compilation]] of previous games, and the last one released by Compile)
* Minna de Puyo Puyo (2001; first installment developed by {{Sega}}'s Sonic Team, localized as just "Puyo Pop")
* Puyo Puyo Fever (2003; dubbed for the Gamecube)
* Puyo Puyo Fever 2 (2005; featured a map system, which has yet to be done again)
* Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary (2006; was the first where you could select characters without a given difficulty)
* Puyo Puyo 7 (2009)
* Puyo Puyo! 20th Anniversary (2011)

Along side are a few clones and/or localizations:
* Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (1993; AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgeHog-styled localization)
* Kirby's Avalanche (1995; Kirby-styled localization)
* Qwirks (1995; Windows and Mac game)
* Kidou Gekidan Haro Ichiza: Haro no Puyo Puyo / Mobile Theatrical Company Haro: Haro's Puyo Puyo (2005: {{Gundam}}-styled GBA game)

''Puyo Puyo'' takes its characters from ''Madou Monogatari'', a series of [=RPGs=] also by Compile. Most games from both series star ActionGirl Arle in some insane quest for the designated {{MacGuffin}}s or something else.

Early ''Puyo Puyo'' games tended to be NintendoHard (''especially'' the Nintendo versions). More recent games include more variation and, typically, less of a challenge. They're still ridiculously fun, though.

''Puyo Puyo Fever'' has the honor of being the final first-party SegaDreamcast game, some years after its death[[hottip:*:For the record, ''Karous'' is the final Dreamcast game period.]]

Expect the majority of this page to be on Sega's ''Fever'' Series; we're surprised there isn't a character page yet with all of this.
----
!!This series contains examples of:

* ActionGirl: Arle, Amitie, Feli, Raffine and newcomer Ringo.
* AnvilOnHead: Amitie once dropped a huge cooking pot on Arle's head in Puyo Pop Fever 2. Arle was not happy.
** A 24-ton weight drops on the Frankensteins father when large amounts of nuisance puyo fall on his field.
* ArcNumber: 24, a Japanese ''goroawase'' pun on "Puyo". Puyo Pop Fever was even released on the 24th of a month for each platform.
* [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe Aren't You Going To Defeat Me?]]: Asks [[spoiler: Strange Klug when Raffine and Sig take two of the items he had and left him in Klug's body.]]
* {{Area 51}}: Is visited in Puyo Puyo 7.
* BadassAdorable: Arle and Carbuncle.
** Almost everyone in Fever just because of the art style.
* BadPowersGoodPeople and [[BadPowersBadPeople Bad People]]: Despite being half-demon, Sig doesn't care about it and seems to care only about his friends and bugs. It should be noted that, besides Akuma, most demons and monsters before are protrayed as {{Jerkass}}es or being AffablyEvil, as well as Sig's remains being part of [[spoiler: the demon within's Klug's book's orignal body. There's an unknown, but possibly good, reason that the demon was sealed away in the first place, something nobody even did to any previous demon. When the demon posses Klug, he intends to wound or likely ''kill'' Sig to get his remains.]]
* BareYourMidriff: Rulue shows off hers in ~n.
* BattleButler: Butler for The Prince of the Oceans. Execpt, he doesn't really fight.
* BeCarefulWhatYouSay, because it ties into the trope below.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary, the story mode has your chosen character playing through a Puyo tournament, and the prize is a medal that will grant one wish.
** Ms. Accord's wish [[{{Unreveal}} is a secret]].
** Akuma wished for no demons to be able to enter the town. While he is a demon himself, the wish only stopped demons from ''entering'', so he's just fine.
** Amitie wished to be a great spellcaster. She gets nothing, on the reasoning that she's already a great spellcaster, which she feels is a cop-out.
** Arle wished to be able to travel freely between the two worlds. She got it, no strings attached.
** Baldanders was ordered by Feli to wish for her and Lemres to be happy together. Ms. Accord informs him that he could only wish for one of them to be happy. [[{{Unreveal}} We never find out who he chooses.]]
** Dongurigaeru wished for a pond in the forest. He got it, just fine.
** Feli wished for Lemres not to grow old without her. She got that, but then Ms. Accord revealed that everyone was using anti-aging spells anyway, and Feli would have been better served wishing a PlotRelevantAgeUp on herself. Feli was ''not'' happy.
** Klug wished for his success to get a 16-page spread in the local mages' magazine. Ms. Accord pointed out that this was dependent on him being successful in the first place, which he had completely failed to wish for.
** Lemres wished for the beach to turn into candy, the sea to turn into jelly, the sand into cocoa powder with powdered sugar and skim milk, the pebbles into chocolates, and the shells into candy. ''He gets it''.
** Nasu Grave wished to be taller. No, wait, he wants to not wear spectacles. No, wait, he wants to not be an eggplant. The medal heard three wishes when it could only grant one, so it didn't grant any.
** Ocean Prince wished for all his subjects to be his servants with free food and naps. Ms. Accord informed him that he could only get one of those (servitude, food, or naps), and asked him to choose, but he ran off without realizing his wish hadn't been granted yet.
** Onion Pixy wished to be with Onionette forever.
** Oshare Bones wished to meet "that person" (his lover?) again "someday". Popoi points out that this is a poor choice of words, as it doesn't specify an actual date. Even so, they are now guaranteed to meet again... eventually...
** Raffine wished to be more beautiful. The medal did nothing, which Ms. Accord claimed was because it believed Raffine was already the most beautiful. Raffine accepted this explanation happily, but after she ran off, Popoi suggested that maybe the medal just couldn't do that.
** Rider was going to wish to get rid of her horns, but after meeting Satan, she grew to appreciate them. Since she didn't have a backup wish, she wished for world peace. Ms. Accord said it would be granted, but we don't ever actually see it. It would make Puyo Puyo 7's [[spoiler:TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt plot]] impossible, but nothing in 15th Anniversary is treated as canon anyway.
** Rulue was going to wish to be Satan's wife, but that wouldn't stop him from going after Arle. She was going to wish for Arle to be taken out of the picture, but the she realized that would be essentially admitting that Satan loves Arle more than he loves Rulue, and she could never do that. Unfortunately, she said all this out loud and in front of the medal, which decided to grant her "wish" of never admitting Satan's love for Arle. As Rulue immediately points out, ''this doesn't make any goddamn sense''.
** Satan was going to wish for a honeymoon under the stars with Arle, but first he felt he had to chew out Ms. Accord over her students' disrespectful behavior toward him. The medal heard him say he ought to teach them manners and granted ''that'' wish.
** Schezo wished for everyone to stop calling him a pervert. It was granted, but everyone called him a weirdo instead.
** Sig wished for new insects in the forest. The medal flat-out refused, as it dislikes insects due to not having hands to brush them away.
** Suketoudara wished for anyone to be able to do a solo dance at a dance party.
** Yu and Rei both wished for the same thing, to swap places for a day. The medal granted both wishes, for a net result of not doing anything.
** Zoh Daimaoh wished to be a king who would bring peace in a rich country, in a future with hope. He got that... as far as anyone knows.
*** To sum up, 22 wishes were made in total, 8 turned out fine, 4 were corrupted by poor phrasing, 4 were flat-out not granted, 2 were ruined by thinking out loud, 2 were caught on [[MovingTheGoalposts a one-wish technicality]], Nasu Grave's was not granted due to thinking aloud ''and '' the one-wish technicality, and we never learn Ms. Accord's. If we throw out Ms. Accord's wish, that's a 62% failure rate.
* BerserkButton: Schezo really wants everyone to stop labeling him a pervert.
** Also, don't taunt him about not having a healthy image.
** Panotty doesn't like it when people ignore or don't appreciate his music.
* BigBad: Varies per game. After the original series, the villains got less effective.
** Most, if not all, of the games before Fever had Satan as the final boss. If he wasn't, it was likely due to someone overshadowing him (take Doppleganger Arle).
** Fever technically had Popoi, a talking cat-puppet-shadow.
** Fever 2 had the very popular Strange Klug. He didn't do much though as a villain.
** 15th and 20th don't have a villain to speak of.
** 7 had an effective villain in Ekoro.
* {{Bishonen}}: Satan, Schezo and Incubus among others.
* BitingTheHandkerchief: Raffine, when she loses a Puyo match
* BlindingBangs: Maguro has both his eyes, Lemres has one bang.
* BlushSticker: Appears more often on more characters than you think.
* BonusBoss: Masked Satan in TSU and Carbuncle in Fever.
* ButYourWingsAreBeautiful: Rider eventually appreciates her horns after meeting Satan.
* CallingYourAttacks: Actually useful in competitive play, since it gives you an idea of how big your opponent's chain is (and yours too) and how close it is to finishing.
* CampGay: Oshare Bones.
** Exclusive to Madou, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gay]].
* CanonForeigner: Characters before the fever series come from ''Madou Monogatari''.
* CaramelldansenVid: You will need to look through Nico Nico Douga, though.
* CatsAreMean: Popoi.
* CircusOfFear: Minus the fear. Except the BigBad from ~n wants to replace Arle from reality.
* CuteMonsterGirl: YMMV on Draco, Harpy, Seriri, the Banshee Trio, and so on.
* CuteWitch: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Witch]].
* DarkActionGirl: Rulue.
* DeadpanSnarker: Ringo.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Somewhat...in ~n and Puyo Puyo 7. You get to use your friends' powers in ~n and a defeated person might tag along with your group for the story in Puyo Puyo 7, take a few heroes and, for a short bit, Satan.
* DemBones: Oshare Bones and Skele-T.
* DemonicPossession: Well, what did you ''think'' was going to happen when you carry around a possessed book? Some people just have to learn the hard way.
** ...and with Strange Klug filling in for Klug's adult transformation in [=PP7=], [[WhatAnIdiot I guess he never learned]].
** It also seems like Ekoro managed to take over Arle and decided Ringo a good substitute.
** And ''waaaaaay'' back before all of this, we had [[spoiler: Satan being possessed by Doppelganger Arle.]]
* DetachedSleeves: Raffine in Deka mode.
* DifficultySpike: Frustratingly common in many of the installments. The first arcade game is already blisteringly fast by the fourth level.
* DolledUpInstallment: ''{{Kirby}}'s Avalanche'', ''DrRobotniksMeanBeanMachine'' and...''[[TheLionKing Timon and Pumbaa's]] Bug Drop''?
* {{Doppelganger}}: Doppelganger Arle from ~n as well as Doppelganger Schezo from Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon.
* DreadfulMusician: Harpy, oh so much.
** She turned the mermaid into one too.
* DubNameChange: All over the place in the bootleg English translation of the first game. Arle is called Silvana, [[http://puyonexus.net/wiki/Nasu_Grave Nasu Grave]] is called Blue Ghost (despite being neither), and [[{{Bowdlerise}} Satan is called Dark Prince]]. That last one was repeated in Puyo Pop for the GameBoyAdvance, and is the only ''official'' DubNameChange in the entire series.
* DumbBlonde: Amitie.
* DysfunctionJunction: Nearly everyone except Arle has some serious problems, though they're usually played for laughs.
* EasyAmnesia: [[spoiler: Just add a hammer!]]
* EmpathyPet: Popoi, when Ms. Accord has him.
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: The animations. Right now, the sprites has animated limbs.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, Strange Klug doesn't have a costume, per say; it's just Klug's outfit dyed red with a cape.
* EvilLaugh: (Un?)Surprisingly, Klug.\\
--> "MU-SHEHSHEH-HAHAHA!"
** EvilIsHammy: Almost all of the villains, past and present, have an evil laugh somewhere in their combos or shout into their mic.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Many, ''many'' examples, always in names. The aforementioned [[CuteWitch Witch]] is a start.
* ExcusePlot: 7 has something along the lines of, "The 7 wonders of the world, to play Puyo with 7 players." [[spoiler: Turns out it isn't much of an excuse, though.]]
** Most of the plots are excuses for the Fever series, as they're all done to play the named game; Fever 1 has finding Accord's cane(which no explanation why and how she lost a ''flying'' wand), Fever 2 has little to no plot, Fever 15 is a tournement...
* ExpressiveHair: Ringo
** ExpressiveAccessory: Strange Klug has two; the red shadow-thing behind him shares his facial expressions, while Klug's purple spirit that's trapped within the nearby floating book is often seen sobbing, smiling, and [[spoiler: shares Strange Klug's expression of surprise when two of the heroes leave without stopping the demon.]]
* EyesAlwaysShut: Ms. Accord and Lemres.
* EyesOfGold: Arle
** BrownEyes: Before Fever ever existed.
* [[FallingBlocks Falling Puyo]]
* FamilyBusiness: Sasaki's Fishmonger, Andou's Greengroceries
* FanNickname: Riskuma the Pedobear.
* FanTranslation: A few of the ''Madou Monogatari'' games, Super PuyoPuyo Tsu, the PC version of Puyo Puyo SUN and the DS versions of ''PuyoPuyo 15th Anniversary'' and ''PuyoPuyo 7'', as well as 20th Anni.
** Right now a translation of Fever 2 is going on. For ''two years.''
* FashionableAsymmetry: Oshare has one intact eye, while his other eye is simply an eye socket featuring GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath.
** Then there's Sasaki, Arle, Strange Klug, recently Satan, and by an extent, Sig.
* FireIceLightning: Arle and Amitie use these three elements as their major spells(Fire, Ice Storm, Thunder Bolt). Rider uses lightning for one of her spells, and Schezo uses lightning for almost all of his spells.
** [[AbnormalAmmo Abnormal Spells]]: However, Klug and Popoi use the names of objects in the sky, Ms Accord uses music notes and writes on her chalkboard for animations, and Raffine, Sig, and Rulue use [[IKnowKungFu martial arts]] with magic. And this is just to name a few.
* ForTheEvulz Ekoro wants to bury [[strike:the world]] ''[[OmnicidalManiac all existence]]'' under Puyo. How fun that must be...
* FourIsDeath: When four puyo of the same color connect they explode. Also means death for your opponent, since he/she is about to get hit with nuisance puyo!
** [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Puyo Puyo 7 was the fourth game in the Fever Reboot.]] You don't need to get any farther than that.
* GameMod: Making your own characters is popular. Someone even drew SuzumiyaHaruhi ''in the Puyo art style''.
* GeniusDitz: Amitie. Being one of the heroes, she beats everyone else at puyo in the stories.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Carbuncle, as the TrueFinalBoss of the first Fever game.
** After the TournementArc that was 15th, the next game would naturally have [[spoiler: a storyline that has the fate of the universe in the balance]] as the next game!
* GigglingVillain: Dark Arle in ''7''.
* GirlishPigtails: Ringo, with curls.
* GoodIsDumb: Amitie should start carrying around a dictionary...
* GoshdangItToHeck: Every now and then...
* GratuitousEnglish: A good amount of the [[CallingYourAttacks called attacks]] use this. Most even manage to get out close-to-correct pronounciations.
** Incubus lives for this and is known for his infamous [[PrecisionFStrike "Oh, Shit!"]] in SUN.
* HarmlessVillain: For someone named Satan, he usually has different plans than being evil. If he ''is'' doing something "evil", the choice he has in mind isn't.
* HenshinHero: Puyo Puyo 7's Henshin mechanic transforms characters into their younger or older selves.
* HonestAxe: Played with before battling Popoi in Puyo Puyo Fever for Amitie's course.
* HornyDevils: Incubus. Gee, [[SarcasmMode I do wonder why]] that's his name! Not that any sex is mentioned, though.
* HumanityEnsues: Ocean Prince and Ekoro.
* HyperspaceMallet: Accord has one.
* IdiotHair: A few characters. Sig has two though which ''twitch''.
* IncrediblyLamePun
-->Skeleton T(ea) Trio: "It's 'T' time!"
-->Ringo: "That's just lame!"
* InnocentInnuendo: When Schezo says "Be my desire!" ...he wanted something entirely different from what the other person was thinking.
* InsufferableGenius: Klug. While he comes off annoying, he does knows information to advance the plot, and even explains what's going on during 7.
** This "genius", however, is the exact same cause for him getting possesed over and over again.
* InstantRunes: Some attacks, but then again, these kids use magic.
* IWasQuiteALooker: It was inevitable, but Oshare Bones gets a couple lines like this in Puyo Puyo 15th.
* IWillWaitForYou: Oshare's backstory. [[spoiler: He's waiting for the day he meets his former love.]]
* JerkAss: A lot of characters. Raffine takes the cake though, but Klug's attempting to beat her.
* {{Kawaisa}}: The art style from ''Fever'' and on.
* KickChick: Raffine
* KillerRabbit: Carbuncle in at least one of the spinoff [=RPGs=] has a super powerful random gem laser attack, which is carried over into Fever and beyond.
** He's also the ''hardest'' boss in Fever.
* KidHero: Arle a couple times, especially in ''Madou Monogatari'' - she's in kindergarten.
* {{Leitmotif}}: In 15th, every character as their own theme. Bosses also have their own theme used exclusively when you fight them in story mode.
* LargeHam: The higher the combo goes, the louder the character can get. Special award goes to Akuma, who's spells are nothing BUT high-pitched screeching.
* LighterAndSofter: Considering that ''Madou Monogatari'' had a [[spoiler: headless Schezo...]]
** Hell, ''Madou Monogatari'' was loaded with HighOctaneNightmareFuel in general!
* LimitBreak: ''PuyoPuyo Fever'' introduced Fever Mode, which a player would enter when his or her power bar was full. During Fever Mode, sets of already-built chains drop into the playing field, just waiting for you to pop them and unleash a HUGE attack on your opponent.
** ''Puyo Puyo 7'' added henshin mode, which actually causes your character to transform, along with all their Puyo. Chibi mode is like Fever, only the Puyo are tiny, whereas in Deka mode you play with ''huge'' Puyo that pop in groups of 3 and every match counts as a chain.
** If countable, Klug turning into Strange Klug. The level difficulty boosted [[NintendoHard pretty high]], apparently, or at least for the character. However, Klug was already a hard character; Strange Klug just kicks it [[UpToEleven up a knotch.]]
* LittleMissBadass: Feli, Yu, Rider(if a human plays her), and so on.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters Just... [[http://www.puyonexus.net/wiki/List_of_characters LOOK AT THIS]]! That's not even ''all'' of the existing characters. Yeah, sure, most of it's composed of characters unimportant to the plot, but just counting those that actually matter, there are over 45+.
** So far, only four of the original characters show up in the Fever Series. They cut the cast into fourths doing so.
* LoveDodecahedron: Minotaurus wants Rulue, who wants Satan, who wants Arle, and Arle isn't interested. Most fans add another line by making Arle interested in Schezo, who has shown no ([[InnocentInnuendo real, intentional]]) affection ever. On top of that, Incubus wants Arle, though it's not clear whether it's for real reasons or just because he's a HornyDevil.
* LuckBasedMission: 15th Anniversary adds many new battle modes. One of them is Non-Stop Fever, which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. While it's appropriately awesome to be in LimitBreak mode all the time, you're basically clearing the warning Puyo you start with and then hoping your opponent gets a Puyo they can't match before you do.
** In 15th, there's a chance that all eight levels on any storymode will be different; a lottery is done to decide the games, which can be any(including No Offsetting, which is done to get fever, which is done to make youi fail less).
* {{Macguffin}}:
** Satan's evil plot of the day.
** See "Summoning Artifacts of Doom" below for Fever 2.
** The wishgranting medal of 15th.
** Arle for 7.
** [[spoiler: Ekoro]] in 20th.
* {{Mascot}}: Carbuncle.
** By an extent, Arle too.
* [[spoiler: ManBehindTheMan: Satan's the man in ~n, Doppelganger Arle's behind the man.]]
* MayDecemberRomance: Lemres (older) and Feli (younger), except Lemres doesn't reciprocate.
* MeaningfulName: Several of the cast. For example, Amitie is French for "friend", and Amitie is a friendly character in the fever series.
* MiniGame: Not in the series proper, but it is one in ''SegaSuperstars'' and ''Sega Superstars Tennis''.
** And that's saying nothing of the other mini-games at Puyo Puyo Fever's websites.
* MismatchedEyes: Sig has one red eye and one blue eye. This is due to his demon side though.
** If it counts, Oshare as well. His [[TheDeadHaveEyes right eye]] has a pink pupil with yellow sclera, while his left eye is merely an [[GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath eye socket with a yellow pupil]].
* MillionToOneChance: Klug discovers how to unlock the power of his book [[spoiler: to release the demon inside, which posseses him]]. Conviently, ''during that same day'', Lemres, Klug's hero, is delivering ''the exact items needed to unlock the book'' to Ms Accord '''''[[TooDumbToLive with no protection]]''''' on these magical items, and you can see where this goes afterwards.
** ConvenientQuesting: All three playable characters were hunting for the items for their own uses that Lemres were delivering, which were, of course, in '''[[BigBad Strange Klug's]] hands'''; taking them away depowered him.
* {{Narcissist}}: Hohow Bird, maybe Raffine.
** Incubus, too.
* NerdGlasses: Klug; they make him creepier though when they flash.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In 20th Anniversary, Ringo basically tells an amnesiac Ekoro that people don't enjoy pranks, but really enjoy Puyo matches instead. [[spoiler: Bad idea. Ekoro soon gets bored with making people happy through Puyo matches one person at a time and tries to find a way to make [[WellIntentionedExtremist everyone happy on a large scale,]] eventually going as far as to try to possess Satan himself.]]
* NintendoHard: Earlier games. The original PuyoPuyo, which most know as ''Mean Bean Machine'' or ''Kirby's Avalanche'', didn't have the offset rule.
* NoblewomansLaugh: Raffine and Rulue have very impressive examples when they get high chain combos.
** Oshare has his own that pops up sometimes.
* NoExportForYou: Every game except the {{Dolled Up Installment}}s, ''Puyo Pop'' on the GBA and ''PuyoPuyo Fever''.
** The Wii has some early games for download; untranslated, but downloadable.
* NoNameGiven: The demon in Klug's book, despite becoming an EnsembleDarkhorse and having subtle history within Fever 2. We don't even know what he originally looked like!
* NotHimself: Satan in PP~n, Klug in Fever 2, and Arle in Puyo Puyo 7
* [[TwoTeacherSchool One Teacher School]]: In the original series, there was a preschool, but the rule seem to have stuck. In Fever, Accord's the only teacher to ever show up.
* {{Odango}}: Rider's hair style
* OurMonstersAreDifferent
** OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Seriri, although she seems to believe in the eat-the-mermaid myth.
** OurMonstersAreWeird: Satan and Ekoro aren't the only weird ones; you also have a gay skeleton, skeletons who drink tea, off-tune harpies, lovelorn minotaurs...
* PeoplePuppets: Ekoro loves this trope. His victims are understandably frustrated.
* PowerFloats: Strange Klug's strongest final chain finisher, Haidorenjia (see the Strange Klug on the left [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxCZriQy_a4 here]] for an example), has him floating inches off the ground.
* PillarOfLight: The strongest final chain finisher for Amitie and Arle in Puyo Pop Fever 1 & 2.
* PrideBeforeAFall: Klug looks unhappy about being sealed in a book. When he's released, he brushes it off like nothing happened. [[spoiler: He does learn from this though; he ends up giving the final item used to break the book's seal to Amitie rather than keep it.]]
* PunBasedTitle: The "Tsu" in PuyoPuyo Tsu means "master" and is also the number "two" spoken with a Japanese accent. Likewise, the "SUN" in PuyoPuyo Sun means "three" and also references the new Sun Puyo. Finally, "yon" means "four", hence, Puyo Puyo~n.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Strange Klug's infamous for this.
** Satan and Sig subvert this, though. Satan WAS threatening, but as mellowed out. Sig's unemotioinal, even as Black Sig, and takes everything in calmly and in stride.
* RPGElements: ''PuyoPuyo Box'' featured a Quest Mode in which you fight monsters Puyo-style; equipment would boost attack and defense, and heavier equipment would make your Puyo fall faster. Heck, the Quest Mode itself has examples of tropes.
** HeartContainer
** BrokenBridge: The bridge isn't broken, Schezo's sleeping on it!
** ButThouMust [[InvertedTrope Not]]: You cannot say "Yes" to Satan at the end of the game. Yeah, we probably DON'T want to know what he's asking.
** Said quest mode has a lot in common with the Nazo Puyo spinoffs.
* {{Red Headed Hero}}ine: Ringo.
* {{Satan}}: The bad guy of the first three games, and a regular character in the series. Tends to be the FinalBoss (or at least one of them), as well as [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard a cheater]].
** Is ''not'' as threatening though as the actual. He's currently getting away with very little evilness and is instead a StalkerWithACrush.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Klug has a tendency to get this with a flat-toothed grin. Strange Klug cuts this in half by making only one lense flash whenever he's on screen.
* {{Schoolteacher|s}}: Ms. Accord.
* SealedEvilInACan: Doppelganger Arle in PP~n
** [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evil In A Book]]: What Klug carries.
* SeriousBusiness: Everyone is determined to play Puyo to solve their problems. Ringo [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this a lot.
** And yes, ''every'' problem. It doesn't matter if it's information to bodies, this is the rule to their world.
* ShesGotLegs: Rulue.
* ShoutOut: Lagnus Bishashi the Brave resembles the hero from DragonQuest.
** In ''Puyo Pop Fever'' in English, Yu the ghost sometimes says [[{{Ghostbusters}} "Who you gonna call?"]]
** In 20th Anniversary, Ekoro has an unlockable human form. Selecting him in character select has him say "What are you going to do now?" [[SpaceChannel5 Purge, another Sega villain voiced by Akira Ishida says the exact same thing.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: Rider.
* SoulJar: Klug carries around a possessed book. Yes, [[TooDumbToLive bad things happen as a result]].
** And he continues to carry it, now with knowledge it ''IS'' possessed. As a result, 7 and 20th had appearances by Strange Klug as bonuses; '''[[{{Foreshadowing}} Future]]''' [[OhCrap Klug]] in the Deka Fever for 7 and as an unlockable character with his own voice clips in 20th.
* {{Spinoff}}: PuyoPuyo is a Spinoff of ''Madou Monogatari''.
** PuyoPuyo itself has had a list of spinoffs as extensive, if not moreso, than the number of entries in its own series.
* StalkerWithACrush: Satan always comes up with some insane plan to get Arle to go out with him. Ever tried just walking up to her and asking, dude?
** Played creepily straight in 7. He was ''literally stalking Arle'' before/after/during she was possesed.
* [[SummoningArtifact Summoning Artifacts]] [[ArtifactOfDoom of Doom]]: The Bookmark Of The Sun, the Lamp of the Stars, and [[spoiler: [[AerithAndBob some moisturizing cream.]] ]] They're used to unseal Klug's book. See "MillionToOneChance" above.
* SuperSenses: Ringo apparently has 20/4 vision.
-->Ringo: "I can sight the Andromeda Galaxy in the daytime."
* SweetTooth: Lemres, who attempts to give candy to Amitie in Fever 2.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Every time poor Schezo tries to say something in the newer games, he blurts out "[[{{Catchphrase}} Be my desire!]]", and has to clarify just ''what'' he desires. (hint: it's never sex)
* TechnicolorEyes: Unusual Ekoro's eyes are teal with ''pink heart pupils''.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Entering [[LimitBreak Fever/Henshin]] mode changes the music to a more up-beat song.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: ...and Amitie realizes that she just lost out on a reward for finding the magic cane.
* TournamentArc: 15th Anniversary, which involves all the characters getting into one for a wish.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Carbuncle loves his curry.
* UnusualEuphemism: Ringo seems to have a couple of them...with math terminology.
* VillainousHarlequin: Doppelganger Arle to a T.
* VillainsOutShopping: Satan in his Hawaiian shirt trying to have fun and get a good tan by pulling the sun closer to the island he is on in PP Sun. Just watch the intro [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM5U_hcxS7M here]]...
** Ekoro's story in Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary, which involves him doing silly things such as trying to pull Draco's tail. [[spoiler: Justified since he has amnesia, and he soon goes back to his destructive ways as a WellIntentionedExtremist out to try to make everyone happy by fulfilling their deepest desires. He gets his memory back at the end though.]]
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Schezo
* WickedCultured: Strange Klug looks rather suave. Then again, he only added a cape and changed the glasses.
* WingedHumanoid: Harpy
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Rulue and Sig.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork / RecognitionFailure: In 15th during Satan's storymode, Klug says that Satan's wearing a costume, more or less saying he isn't really who he is. [[spoiler: Let's ignore the fact that Klug could identify ''Satan'', but let's focus more on the fact he's saying that our green-haired villain is wearing a costume of a guy from ''[[GameWithinAGame an entirely different section of Puyo Puyo's history.]]'' Which he got '''''from a book about another dimension.''''' ...Unless he means the [[{{Satan}} real Satan...]]]]
* ZettaiRyouiki: Raffine and Ringo.
