Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo , a puzzle game released for the PlayStation console in 1996, features popular characters from various Capcom games. The gameplay revolves around colored gems falling from the top of the screen in pairs, with the objective of breaking them to gain an advantage over your opponent.
The twist in this game is that simply lining up same-colored gems is not enough; you need to place a "crash gem" of the same color next to the gems to break them and send counter gems to your opponent. Additionally, forming a block of same-colored gems, known as a "power gem," allows for a powerful fusion that can be used to attack your opponent with increased force. Breaking power gems in chain can lead to even more devastating effects.

How to Play
How to Play
Just when the battle was heading towards a complete free-for-all, the Puzzle War breaks out and you're cast into the conflict to drown your opponent in gems. CAPCOM's awesome new puzzler has rules so basic and play that's so catchy and fun you can't help but get hooked.
Beat your opponent to the punch by stacking gem after gem on their side of the screen. Use the special Crash Gem to break gems on your side and drop them on your weary foe. Fill your enemy's side before they do the same and KO! You win.
Puzzle Fighter Rules
Each round will drop two attached gems from the top of the screen to the bottom. Arrange the gems strategically to prepare for the drop of a round Crash Gem.
Touch a Crash Gem to a gem of the same color then all the gems of that color that are linked vertically and horizontally to that gem will break. These will then create Counter Gems that will be sent to your opponent's playfield.
Counter Gems will land on your opponent's side in the pre-determined pattern of your character. The more gems you break, the larger the number of Counter Gems you drop on your enemy.
If the gems pile up to the top of the screen right into the gap where the new gems fall, you lose the game.
•
In Arcade Mode (vs. CPU only) each match is 1 round.
•
VS. Mode (2 Player) is a 3-round match.
•
Change the number of rounds for Arcade and VS. Mode in the Option Mode.
•
Street Puzzle Mode is 1-Player only (see page 8).
Each round of gems that falls is previewed at the top of the screen. Win Icons will appear as you win rounds. In Street Puzzle Mode you can win special Icons.
Warning Messages
Warning Messages appear to let you know how many Counter Gems are about to drop on you. Here is the key to the messages:
•
CAUTION: 1-10 Counter Gems
•
WARNING: 11-30 Counter Gems
•
DANGER: 31 or more Counter Gems
GEMS
Normal Gems
These are the regular gems that fall round by round from the top of the screen. Counter Gems turn into Normal Gems after the number of rounds indicated by the gem have fallen.
Power Gems
When 4 or more like-colored Normal Gems are placed together in a certain manner they form large Power Gems. These gems can be as big as you can make.
Use a Crash Gem or Rainbow Gem to break Power Gems and drop many Gems on your opponent while increasing your score.
Crash Gems
The round gems are known as Crash Gems. When dropped on a gem of the same color, the Crash Gem will break.
Try to link lines of same-colored gems to create a huge chain-reaction of broken gems. This will drop lots of Counter Gems on your opponent.
Counter Gems
Counter Gems fall on you or your opponent in a pattern based on your character (see Puzzle Warriors, page 10-17). A Counter Gem has a colored number inside that counts down as each new round of gems falls.
Normal Counter Gems start at 5 but once they reach 0 they become Normal Gems of the color indicated by the number. You can destroy Counter Gems before they fall on you by counter-attacking with Counter Gems of your own.
Break a Crash Gem or Rainbow Gem on as many Normal Gems as you can and the number of Counter Gems about to drop will be reduced. Counter Gems that still drop after some are countered start with a number 3.
Drop a crash Gem paired with a Normal Gem of the same color, and any Counter Gem that comes into contact with them will be destroyed no matter the color of the Counter Gem.
Rainbow Gems
The diamond-shaped Rainbow Gems will break all the same colored gems as the one you land with the Rainbow Gem. The gems that break do not need to be attached to a like-colored gem in order to break.
The amount of Counter Gems dropped on your opponent is reduced when using a Rainbow Gem as compared to breaking the same amount of gems with a Crash Gem. Thus Rainbow Gems should be used primarily to get out of a tough spot as opposed to a powerful attack method.
