Puyo Puyo Fever 2 (ぷよぷよフィーバーチュー!, Puyo Puyo Fība Chū!) is the sixth installment of the Puyo Puyo series and the second game in the Fever series, following on from Puyo Pop Fever. It was released for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable on November 24, 2005, and for the Nintendo DS on December 24, 2005. Unlike the first Fever game, it was not released outside of Japan, nor ported to any more platforms. The game advances in animation, graphics, and character appearances. Originally, it was planned for international release in 2007, but was indefinitely postponed.[citation needed]

Gameplay

Unlike all the other games in the series so far, Puyo Puyo Fever 2 uses a map system to let the player navigate the game's menus. The map system is also reused in story mode to show the supposed path of the player's character. Several buildings are available around the map area, known as Primp Town, which was the setting of the previous game. These buildings include a tower for endless modes, a shop to buy items, a town hall to change options and save, a museum for viewing unlocked media and a playground for multiplayer games. You can also explore these areas and talk to the people there, where they may give you items.

The courses in this game work in much the same fashion as those of the prequel, with the addition of the aforementioned map screen to show the player's route so far. Each part of the story involves a segment of dialog followed by a Puyo battle, with the exception of the ending sequence of each course. Gameplay mechanics are exactly the same as the previous game, except for the addition of an items system, where the player can choose any item in their inventory to use at the beginning of a match. Items have various functions, such as allowing you to play as another character, dumping nuisance puyo on an opponent at the beginning, making attacks more powerful, setting up a chain for you to start with, or starting you with a couple points on your fever counter. Common items can be bought at Oshare Bones' shop.

The game boasts nine courses, three times that of the original Puyo Puyo Fever. Each of the three main characters (Amitie, Raffine, and Sig) has three courses (easy, medium and hard), with different stories.

The game also includes a new save system which is not used in any other game to date. It allows three concurrent save files, and lets players save at the beginning of any Puyo battle in story mode, so a player does not have to finish an entire course at once but can stop partway through.

CHU puyo [1] were also introduced in this game, but serve no functional purpose as they act the same as ordinary nuisance puyo and the only mode in which they appear (Endless CHU Panic) does not contain the ordinary variant. The only differences are that CHU puyo are pink in colour and heart shaped. It appears in the opening movie.

Multiplayer

As in every Puyo Puyo game, this game allows multiplayer, and can support 2 to 8 players in the DS version of the game; other versions can only support up to 4 players. In this mode, players can play as any available character.

Endless

There are five types of endless play, including Endless Fever, Endless Task, Endless Puyo Puyo, Endless CHU Panic and Endless Battle. The first three of these were previously seen in Puyo Pop Fever. The last was also added to Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary for a total of four endless modes in that game.

Characters

There are a total of 28 characters in Puyo Puyo Fever 2; six of these are unplayable and have cameo roles in the game, including three who are "partner characters" appearing with a playable character in battle: Rei with Yu, Carbuncle with Arle and Popoi with Ms. Accord. The other three unplayable characters are Onion Pixy Girl, Butler, and Prince Salde Canarl Shellbrick III, who serve as "guest characters" in the story modes. DO NOT DELETE STRANGE SIG AT ALL COSTS! HE SHOULD BE THERE!

Amitie (アミティ, Amitī)
A happy, ditzy girl who wants to be a "wonderfully clever magic user.". She is the first of the three main characters and was the heroine in the RunRun (easy) and WakuWaku (medium) courses of the original Puyo Pop Fever. Amitie makes a cameo in one of Sega's "Project Ringo" teasers. Her birthday is May 5th, Cinco de Mayo.[1]
Raffine (ラフィーナ, Rafīna)
A so-called rival of Amitie's and the second-main character. She was the heroine of the HaraHara (hard) course in Puyo Pop Fever. She faces a few of the same characters as before in her original quest. She is known for being egotistical, and may swear on rare occasions. Her birthday is July 25th. [2]
Sig (シグ, Shigu)
Sig is a spacey boy. His left eye is red and his left hand is a large red claw. He is derived from the non-evil parts of a demon. He's the third and last of the main characters, and was newly introduced in this game. His magic derives from Blue Magic, and has a connection with insects, his attacks including Cyan, Paraiba, Robin's Egg, Celestial and Hydrangea. He is a well balanced character who is slightly weaker than Raffine outside of Fever. Sig is the joint strongest character in Fever along with Oshare Bones. His birthday is June 16th.[3]
Ms. Accord (アコール先生, Akōru sensei)
Ms. Accord is the teacher at the magic school, who still carries Popoi around with her. Accord still uses some music terms such as "allegro" and "presto" for her attacks, with some of her more powerful ones being new "-lance" (ランス ransu) suffixed attacks. Any graphics from the previous game involving musical notes have been replaced with Accord in front of a chalkboard. Her new "lance" moves mostly involve her throwing a piece of chalk or Popoi, keeping the silly, slightly episodic overtones of the Fever world. Though Popoi played a role in the original Puyo Pop Fever, the matter about him has largely been dropped, as he does not pose a threat nor is he even playable in this game. Accord's birthday is February 12th[4], while Popoi's is February 22nd.
Akuma (あくま, Akuma, lit. Demon)
Akuma is a giant blue bear doll, whose head is a mask detached from his body. He often ends his sentences with kuma. His voice always seems to alternate between quiet and deep and shrill and shrieking, with no middle ground between the two. His name is a Japanese portmanteau, as aku means evil, and kuma means bear. His birthday is January 11th.[5]
Arle (アルル, Aruru)
Arle, the heroine of the original Puyo Puyo games, is always seen with Carbuncle in this game, whereas he previously appeared as an unlockable playable character in Puyo Pop Fever. In some of Arle's attacks (such as Heaven Ray), Carbuncle is seen assisting in the animation. Arle received power boosts both in and out of Fever in this game. She and Carbuncle cameo in one of the Project RINGO teasers. Her birthday is July 22nd.[6]
Baldanders (バルトアンデルス, Barutoanderusu)
Baldanders is a monstorous dog, summoned accidentally by Feli. He is friendly throughout the game (although he doesn't like Lemres and doesn't want Feli to be with him). His drop set is the biggest in the game, consisting of 48 puyo, but he is also the weakest character in the game, both inside and outside of fever. His birthday is November 23rd.[7]
Lemres (レムレス, Remuresu)
Lemres is a comet Warlock and a senior in his school. His attacks are very well balanced and his Japanese voice cast sounds similar to Schezo Wegey from the original Madou cast. As a character trait, Lemres never opens his eyes. His birthday is August 25th.[8]
Dongurigaeru (どんぐりガエル, Dongurigaeru, lit. Acorn Frog)
The so-called lovable frog is back in action and still as daunting as ever, with more of an ambition to try his best to win. His birthday is March 31st.[9]
Feli (フェーリ, Fēri)
Feli is a female student at a magic shchool bordering Primp Town. She is seen as a Gothic Lolita girl. Very strong, her most notable attack is "Chrono Creator", an attack that is used to alter the time and space around the field. She idolizes Lemres, and is deeply in love with him as well. Feli's birthday is November 13th.[10]
Frankensteins (こづれフランケン, Kozure Furanken, lit. Frankenstein with his Child)
Frankendad was a lonely robot and Frankenson was created by him as a companion. Both Frankendad and Frankenson form a unique team, and are part of the partnership group, though they were together in Puyo Pop Fever. Frankendad's birthday is February 1st, while his son's is February 11th.[11]
Gogotte (ゴゴット, Gogotto)
An elfish person who forces his soup upon people. His hat covers his eyes. He is commonly seen as female due to his clothing, but is voice acted male. His birthday is October 1st.[12]
Hohow Bird (ほほうどり, Hohō-dori)
A pink, bespeckled know-it-all bird whose favorite words are "HouHou..." ("Mm-HMM!" in the English translations), and various attacks, eg "Mm-HMM/HoHo KICK!" and the powerful "Mm-HMM/HoHo BEAM!". Hohow Bird retains his humor and has been known to be as strong as he has been in the previous game. Hohow Bird's birthday is December 5th.[13]
Klug (クルーク, Kurūku)
A know-it-all fellow student of Raffine, Sig and Amitie. He sees a threat in his magic studies and attempts to advance further. Outside of fever, Klug is just as powerful as he was in the prequel, and is the strongest character outside of fever. His birthday is September 29th.[14]
Onion Pixy (おにおん, Onion)
Onion Pixy speaks in gibberish and uses the word "on" excessively ("onion" in the English Puyo Pop Fever dub). He has been noted for crying as Onion Pixy Girl falls in love with Sig. Onion Pixy is one of the basic characters to fight in this game. His birthday is September 29th, the same as Klug's.[15]
Oshare Bones (おしゃれコウベ, Oshare Kōbe, lit. Sharply-dressed Skull)
He's a skeleton obsessed much about his and other's attires and fashion. Still as classy as ever, he now runs the item shop. In this game however, Oshare Bones, along with Sig, are the strongest characters in Fever (as opposed to Prince of Ocean in the prequel), and with his piece set, allows a skilled player almost limitless regards to Fever Extension and excessive chainbuilding in Fever mode. His birthday is December 24th, Christmas Eve.[16]
Prince of Ocean (さかな王子, Sakana Ōji, lit. Fish Prince)
Prince of Ocean returns, with little notable differences from his appearance in Puyo Pop Fever. His birthday is March 5th.[17]
Rider (リデル, Rideru)
A very shy girl. She is now brave enough to try to greet Raffine. Her classmates begin to understand her more, whilst Tarutaru decides to befriend her. Her birthday is January 17th.[18]
Tarutaru (タルタル, Tarutaru)
Tarutaru is one of the stronger, midway opponents. He is in love with Raffine, and asks about her at most encounters. He has also befriended Rider. His birthday is July 19th.[19]
Yu & Rei (ユウちゃん&レイくん, Yū-chan to Rei-kun)
In the Puyo Pop Fever character description for Yu, it was said that Yu was trying to find her twin brother. When Raffine bumps into Yu, she starts to dance. Now, Yu does find her brother, Rei, who has blue hair that covers his eyes. The two of them form a Japanese quiz show; it is noted that Sig is the only one who clears all of their questions. They form one of the few unique partnerships in this game, and are quite effective in Fever mode. They share the birthday June 9th.[20]
Onion Pixy Girl (おに子, Oniko)
Onion Pixy Girl is one of the three guest characters in Puyo Puyo Fever 2. She falls in love with Sig and makes Onion Pixy cry. She serves a cameo role in the storyline department. Her birthday is April 29th.[21]
Butler (オトモ, Otomo)
Butler is the second of the three guest cameo characters that informs you of things during the game. He seems to take a very strong liking to the Prince of Ocean as well as the Prince's alter-ego, Prince Salde Canarl Shellbrick III, as he is, of course, the Prince's "butler", so to speak. His birthday is April 17th.[22]
Prince Salde Canarl Shellbrick III (サアルデ・カナール・シェルブリック3世王子, Saarude Kanāru Sheruburikku San-sei Ōji)
Prince Salde Canarl Shellbrick III (sakana meaning fish in Japanese), is the last of the three guest cameo characters. He is the humanoid alter-ego of The Prince of Ocean, and guides Sig through his final course. He is also the prince located at the end of Raffine's second course. His appearance can be seen as feminine. His birthday is March 5th, coincidentally the same as Prince of Ocean's (as both are the same character).
Strange Klug (あやしいクルーク, Ayashii Kurūku)
Mysteriously, Klug was possessed by the demon, the Tome of Evil, then sealed inside the book and released by the power of the "Moon Stone", replacing Klug's soul into the book. Strange Klug serves as the primary antagonist of this game. He shares the same birthday as Sig, June 16th[23].
Strange Sig (あやしいシグ, Ayashii Shigu)

Because of Sig's birthday same as Strange Klug's, this suddenly became Strange Sig. His red hand glows, and as usual, now has red hair. He is only seen on the imageboard, and has to be posted here because of Strange Klug.
