Trivia / Puyo Puyo Tetris 2

• Ascended Fanon: A mod for the first game made Sonic a playable character. This game would make it official.
• Author's Saving Throw: TSA's 2020 interview with producer Mizuki Hosoyamada revealed that the company received requests to release Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 across the world at the same time. The publisher listened, as the game was released with only 2-day gap between Japan and rest of the world (it was also released in the West first).
• Blooper: One cutscene mistakenly had one of Lemres' lines ("Just, uh... try not to hurt me, okay?") voiced by Ess' voice actress, even though it was clearly Lemres speaking in the Japanese script. The direction of the text boxes, too, reflects the original intent. This was fixed in the February 4, 2021 update.
• Content Leak: In late December 2020, dataminers uncovered voice clips for several planned DLC characters in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, all before Sega announced who any of them were going to be.
• Dummied Out: Looking at the voice clips for the playable characters shows that there were versions of the online greetings recorded with the alternate voices that ultimately went unused.
• The Other Darrin: The passing of Tamaki Nakanishi necessitated new voice actresses for Carbuncle (Tomoko Kaneda) and Yu & Rei (Miki Hasuda).
• Pre-Order Bonus: A set of skill cards (including a few Sonic the Hedgehog-themed ones) for use in Skill Battle mode.
• Short Run in Peru: Puyo Tetris 2 released in the West on December 8, 2020, two days before the Japanese release date of December 10. However, for people in the Americas especially, this was effectively a one-day gap due to Japan being 11-17 hours ahead.
• Spoiled by the Cast List: Before all of the DLC characters were added in, the closing credits listed all of the voice actors, albeit only the Japanese voice cast, which were more than the launch roster required. While the characters themselves aren't listed, fans who are familiar with the series' vocal cast could easily match up the extra voice actors with characters who were not included in the base game.
• Spoiled by the Merchandise: Squares was the only Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 character whose existence was kept hidden before the game was released... except for Japan, where Puyo Puyo!! Quest revealed him hours before the game was released there.
