Added DiffLines:
* NonIndicativeDifficulty: In ''3'' and ''Quest for the Afterlife'', what powerup that drops is determined by the color of the third 3-match (e.g. Blue gives [[ShockAndAwe Lightning Bolt]] or Slow, Yellow gives Wild Ball and Stop). Teal, the 8th color introduced throughout the game and thus late in the game, always drop Color Sort, which arranges all spheres on the screen into formations that are removed in one 3-match. A savvy player can therefore cheese through [[HarderThanHard Insane]] by purposely holding onto a teal sphere, then make a 3rd teal 3-match using that sphere to drop Color Sort, and purposely break chains to make the teal 3-match to drop another Color Sort to [[GameplayDerailment rearrange the next load of spheres]], and so on. Said tactic is probably the reason why Color Sort is changed to [[{{Nerf}} arrange only one load of spheres]] from ''5th Passage'' onwards, as well as dropping the aforementioned powerup system in the favour of the original system in the first and second games.
** Apparently, the AI for the boss battle missions in ''Quest for the Afterlife'' [[ArtificialStupidity doesn't know how to react to many sphere colors thrown at it]] (which is much more noticeable on Insane), making the such battles embarrassingly easy ''[[ViolationOfCommonSense on Insane]]'', '''including the FinalBoss.'''

'''''Luxor''''' is basically ''{{VideoGame/Zuma}}'', [[RecycledINSPACE but in ancient Egypt]] instead of {{Mayincatec}}.
[[BetterThanItSounds It's good though.]]
The gameplay borrows heavily from ''Zuma'': a train of multi-colored balls enters the screen and rolls down a long winding track towards a pyramid at the end. If the train reaches the pyramid, you lose a life. To keep the train from reaching your pyramid, you must fire multi-colored balls of your own at the train. Your shots add to the length of the train, but any sets of 3 or more balls of the same color you make are cleared, creating gaps in the train and slowing its overall advance.
Furthermore, if a disconnected segment could make a set of two or more same-colored balls by connecting with the train behind it, it will roll backwards and connect with the train. You can make scoring chains by setting up balls such that the gap you make from clearing a set will cause a segment to roll back and make another set, which in turn will cause more rollback.
''Luxor'' differs from ''Zuma'' in the following ways: First, instead of a rotating turret situated in the center of the board, you have a paddle at the bottom of the screen which can only move horizontally and fire straight up. Second, while the balls in ''Zuma'' arrive in one long, uninterrupted train, in Luxor they are delivered in multiple smaller loads pushed by mooks of [[ExcusePlot whichever antagonist you happen to be fighting.]] A mook that has had its entire load destroyed will die and give an extra bonus. If loads are allowed to catch up to one another, they fuse, crushing a mook in the process and robbing you of a bonus.

You can make scoring chains by setting up balls such that the gap you make from clearing a set will cause a segment to roll back and make another set, which in turn will cause more rollback.
''Luxor'' differs from ''Zuma'' in the following ways: First, instead of a rotating turret situated in the center of the board, you have a paddle at the bottom of the screen which can only move horizontally and fire straight up. Second, while the balls in ''Zuma'' arrive in one long, uninterrupted train, in Luxor they are delivered in multiple smaller loads pushed by mooks of [[ExcusePlot whichever antagonist you happen to be fighting.]] A mook that has had its entire load destroyed will die and give an extra bonus. If loads are allowed to catch up to one another, they fuse, crushing a mook in the process and robbing you of a bonus.
