History VideoGame / PuyoPuyoTetris2

* BadBadActing: Ringo and Maguro engage in some in Chapter 6 before battling.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Marle is merely a victim of brainwashing by the actual BigBad, Squares.]]

* StatusQuoIsGod: Between ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 1'' and ''2'', Ringo and co. initially don't remember anyone in the Tetra crew, as if they've met for the first time. [[spoiler: To ensure the order between dimensions is sustained, Marle wiped their memories of their previous adventure.]]

* 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.

* TookALevelInKindness: On the flip side for Ess, [[spoiler: she delivers a much more heartfelt goodbye to Amitie at the end of the game.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Instigators in this case, Chapter 5-S shows [[spoiler: Witch and Draco may have caused Marle to go insane and become overly obsessed with the idea of “fun” by trying to help her regain her memories.]]

** 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/MadouMonogatari'' and ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoChronicle'' respectively.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In 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]]. This can even happen when you are playing the mode for the first time in Adventure Mode as Ess can be chosen despite not showing up until the cutscene after.

** In the final chapter, [[{{Manchild}} the Dark Prince]] makes fun of [[spoiler:Squares, [[YoungerThanTheyLook someone who was born only recently]]]] for being immature.

* CallBack: Several to the first game.

** Tee and Ringo’s dialogue before and after their first battle is practically word for word what they said the first time.
** Tee comments on how peaceful the constellation zone is and how nothing ever goes wrong, cue Ex showing up immediately after just as Ringo did.

** In addition, like Chapter 3 of the first game, instructions are written for specific battles to held, two of which have the same matchups; O and Carbuncle, sans Arle due to being separate characters in this game, and Ess and Amitie.

* {{Nerf}}: Tetris was nerfed further by seeing its speed decreased. It still maintans an inherent speed advantage, but an ''extremely'' competent Puyo Puyo player now has an actual chance at winning compared to the first game.

** When Tee and Ringo both are taken aback by the other not playing playing with Tetris/Puyo, with Ringo also panicking about the fact they’re starting.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Witch and tries to help an amnesiac [[spoiler:Marle]] regain their memories. [[spoiler:As a reward she becomes PatientZero for Marle’s corruption.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Instigators in this case, the side story of Chapter 5 shows [[spoiler: Witch and Draco may have caused Marle to go insane and become overly obsessed with the idea of “fun” by trying to help her regain her memories.]]

** In the final chapter, [[{{Manchild}} the Dark Prince]] makes fun of [[spoiler:Squares]] for being immature.

* VillainousBreakdown: Marle suffers one in Chapter 4 when she begins losing to the protagonists one by one.

* NonIndicativeName: Marle’s spells all have the ThemeNaming of circles, yet her attack animations show her making squares. [[spoiler:This actually clever {{Foreshadowing}} that she is being possessed by Squares and becomes averted when she becomes Light Marle.]]

* ArbitrarilySerializedSimultaneousAdventures: Chapter 3 has Arle, Amitie, and Ringo splitting up to help free their brainwashed friends. The player is then given three branching routes to take on the stage select, but all three must be completed before advancing in the story.

** Ally only shows up in an optional side-chapter in the story mode and does not interact with anyone in the main cast aside from Marle.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In 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]]. This can even happen when you are playing the mode for the first time in Story Mode as Ess can be chosen despite not showing up until the cutscene after.

* OptionalPartyMember: Ally is recruited in Skill Battle after beating the optional side-chapter, so she can be skipped.
* Over100PercentCompletion: Has a whopping 219.5% completion that is obtained from getting four stars on all of the stages, four stars are unlocked after getting three stars in all the stages in an Act.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In 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]].

--->'''Ess:''' Custody, shmustody. Let’s just tie her feet to ceiling and let her dangle upside down!

* DemotedToExtra: A minor example of this occurs with Ess. She doesn’t lose her playable status and is still the most prominent crew member of the S.S. Tetra behind Tee and O. That said, her role in the story was greatly reduced compared to the first game.

* ArbitrarilySerializedSimultaneous Adventures: Chapter 3 has Arle, Amitie, and Ringo splitting up to help free their brainwashed friends. The player is then given three branching routes to take on the stage select, but all three must be completed before advancing in the story.

** One of his battle quotes is "Talk about mean beans", a reference to ''VideoGame/DoctorRobotniksMeanBeanMachine'' which was a DolledUpInstallment of ''Puyo Puyo'' released in the West.

* {{Nerf}}: Tetris was nerfed further seeing it’s speed decreased. It still maintans an inherent speed advantage but an ''extremely'' competent Puyo player now has an actual chance at winning compared to the first game.

* NotBigEnoughForTheTwoOfUs: One of Ess' alternate voice clips, which is not used in the game, features her saying “This town ain’t big enough for the two of us”.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Marle's outfit 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.]]

The game received free content updates for a few months after release, the first of which added legendary SEGA 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.
