History VideoGame / PuyoPuyoTetris2

The game received free content updates for a few months after release, the first of which added legendary mascot Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog as a playable character. Other additions include characters from previous ''Puyo Puyo'' games, more music and icons, and a Boss Raid mode.

Like its predecessor, ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' combines ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' and ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' gameplay and, like most Sega-developed ''Puyo Puyo'' games, features a full story mode. Its most notable gameplay addition is the implementation of the Skill Battle ruleset from ''Puyo Puyo Chronicle'', a mode with RPG elements where the goal is to deplete the opponent's HP.

* Over100PercentCompletion: Has a whopping 219.5% completion that is obtained from getting four stars all of the stages, four stars are unlocked after getting three stars in all the stages in an Act.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: According to Witch, Schezo's name apparently means "gorgeous Adonis who defies the gods". The name Adonis means "gorgeous" in itself.

** When talking to [[spoiler:Squares in the [=EX=] Chapter]], Ecolo mentions that he could have used his powers to start a circus, open an amusement park, or create a new world. All of these are things the Dark Prince has done before, doing so in; ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyon'', ''Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon'' and the novel ''Satan’s Space Amusement Park'', and ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoChronicle'' respectively.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Like ''Puyo Puyo Champions'', ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' has a ColorblindMode, granting accessibility to color-blind players that feel the Puyo shapes aren't different enough, or want to use a specific skin but can't differentiate.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Like ''Puyo Puyo Champions'', ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' gets Color-blind Settings, granting accessibility to color-blind players that feel the Puyo shapes aren't different enough, or want to use a specific skin but can't differentiate.

* SpellingSong: While most of these got removed in the English localization, one did manage to make it in:

* TookALevelInBadass: In the first game, Jay and Elle only seemed to be on the Tetra to liven things up with their pranks. In this game, it’s revealed they have the power to sense things by holding hands.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Unlike other games after ''Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary'', this is completely {{averted|Trope}} with regards to Fever mode dropsets, as the new characters Marle, [[spoiler: Squares]], Sonic, Legamunt and Rozatte all get completely new dropsets instead of borrowing previous characters' dropsets.

* VerbalTic: Marle [[spoiler:when possessed by Squares]] says the word “fun” a lot. Lampshaded by Tee at one point.
-->'''Tee:''' Is [fun] the only word you know?

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Im Adventure mode, you can use any team of three characters you want for Skill Battle, [[MirrorMatch even if you are actually battling against said character]], or, in the case of [[spoiler:Dark Marle and Squares]], [[EnemyMine if that character is antagonizing your team]].

* AbsurdlyHighLevelCap: The level cap in ''Tetris 2'' is 100. The game can be finished quite comfortably below level 20, and reaching level 100 requires beating the final Skill Battle stage in Adventure somewhere in the ballpark of '''680 times'''.

* ArtShift: ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' acknowledges ''Puyo Puyo Chronicle'''s leap into 3D by rendering the Grimp Forest background in an entirely different style than the rest of the game.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: Ringo's alternate voice in ''Tetris 2'' has her borrow voice clips from her fellow ''Puyo Puyo 7'' characters; Maguro, Risukuma, and Ecolo.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In ''Tetris 2'', Ess’ idea on how to punish Marle for all the trouble she caused is to have her tied up by her feet and then dangled upside down.
* CriticalAnnoyance: In Skill Battle mode from ''Tetris 2'', whenever one side, whether it be the player or the enemy, is at low health a warning sound will play. If one side is at low health and is about to be KO'ed by an attack, the sound will speed up and their screen will flash red.

* GuestFighter: The first post-release update of ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' adds ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' as a playable character. While he has appeared in the series before via ''Quest'', this is the first time Sonic has appeared in the main series (with English voice lines at that, as ''Quest'' was never brought to western shores).
* IncreasinglyLethalEnemy: This is essentially what the Tetris/Puyo matchup has evolved to in ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2''. Given roughly equal skill levels, the goal of the Tetris player in most cases is to stuff the Puyo player as fast as physically possible, as Puyos hit ''hard'' and don't play nice in the hands of a competent player. The presence of Margin Time essentially turns the matchup into a TimedMission scenario, as Puyo's lethality inflates ''rapidly'' under its effects and a competent player can bury a Tetris player fast if the opponent isn't playing well enough.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' shows off Ex and reveals his identity as the Keeper of Dimensions within the first chapter, spoiling the big mystery of the first game for anyone that did not play it.

* MythologyGag: [[GuestFighter Sonic]] has quite a few in ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2''

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Marle's outfit in ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' is made up of mostly red and black and she is a villain. [[spoiler:However this is only the case when she is possessed by Squares.]]
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Tee lets off a scream that is dubbed "high-pitched" by the UnsoundEffect in ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2''.

* ShoutOut: After Ess threatens him in Chapter 5 of ''Tetris 2'', the UnsoundEffect says that Lemres is "shaken but not stirred", a reference to how [[Franchise/JamesBond a certain spy]] prefers his martinis made.
* SpellingSong: While most of these got removed in the English localization, one did manage to make it into ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'':

** Later in ''Tetris 2'', Arle tells a certain character "Rules schmules! If nobody is following your rules, then they were probably dumb rules to begin with!"
