Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 pits players against each other in a battle for supremacy, with the goal of scoring the longest chain possible and drowning opponents in a sea of Nuisance Puyo and/or extra blocks. The rules change each time, but a new wrinkle has been added to the game in the form of Skill Battle, where players control a team of 3 characters, each with a special skill that uses MP when used.
