Both sides have a health bar that quickly depletes when either side clears Puyos/Tetrominoes. The big new addition to the sequel is Skills Battle, adding another way to Puyo Puyo or Tetris in the Adventure or in multiplayer. It pays to know enough about both options, given they play quite differently despite both being falling pieces that you have to clear.

From the Start screen you can go to the main menu for the bulk of the game, or you can leap into a quick Endless match of Puyo Puyo or a Marathon match of Tetris if you want a quick bout.
Playing Puyo Puyo and Tetris are both still as fun as ever, whether it’s the sole game or managing both. If you come across any stages you’re getting stuck on or just don’t want to play, you can skip to the next stage and just enjoy the amusing story. The Adventure mode will throw you into a variety of different challenges, managing to keep it fresh as you play a lot of Puyo Puyo and Tetris depending on the stage. It’s also a pleasant return to the Tetris crew. Just like the original the character interactions are silly yet charming conversations, accentuating the whole situation while playing to the characters established personalities over Puyo games.
