Arle Nadja
The series' young magic user and principal protagonist, who competes through the game's scenarios.
How it plays
The playfield is viewed from the side, with each player controlling a vertical well. Falling pairs of Puyos can be moved horizontally, rotated, and dropped; matching groups vanish and make remaining pieces fall.
Players build chains rather than clearing isolated groups whenever possible. Each chain sends nuisance Puyos to the opponent, while Sun Puyos can trigger additional clearing effects. Solo play includes character scenarios and challenge-oriented modes, while versus play focuses on defeating an opponent before the player's own well fills.
Plan your run
Build chains by leaving controlled gaps and allowing pieces to fall into place rather than clearing every pair immediately.

Puyo Puyo Sun is a competitive falling-block puzzle game developed and published by Compile for PlayStation. Players arrange pairs of colored Puyos so that groups of four or more matching pieces disappear, sending nuisance Puyos to an opponent. Its central innovation is the Sun Puyo, which can clear nearby pieces and create larger attacks. The game combines versus matches with character-based scenarios and several solo challenges. Its bright presentation, comic dialogue, and strategic chain-building retain the series' accessible rules while adding more dramatic attacks. The PlayStation version is a console release of the third main Puyo Puyo game and remains especially notable among Japanese puzzle-game fans for its cast and competitive depth.
