Puyo Wars (InstanceTopic, 21)
From Compile Worlds
Puyo Wars is an obscure Game Boy Color battle strategy game in the Puyo series. It has really grating music, crappy programming causing the screen to vertically shake every time the caption pops up on the world map to say what something is, doesn't really seem to actually show the Puyo characters much, and (understandably) never got an English release. At least it's not as crazy as Telefang...
Characters
- Daichi
- A goggle wearing boy and the main protagonist. His signature Tectar is a lion-shaped tank. He has a number of strange anomalies befall him over the course of the game's bizarre story. Apparently he can sense Puyo if they're anywhere near him.
- Marin
- A pink haired girl, and one of Daichi's sidekicks later on. She has a reputation for resembling Ringo's silhouette from the very first trailers for Puyo Puyo 7. Her signature Tectar resembles a shark and a submarine. (We see what u did thar, SEGA)
- Sho
- A blue haired boy, and Daichi's sidekick and rival. He's one of two characters from this game to have appeared in Compile Worlds. His Tectar is a duck, of all things. And we thought he was the cool kid of the bunch!
- Watty
- A whining little brat who serves as a punching bag in the game's first fight. Later, he apparently opens shop in his mansion for you to buy parts from. He's so useless his name isn't even mentioned in any Japanese resources! Now that's pathetic.
- The Professor
- A nameless(?) Professor that is Daichi's father. He seems to be the authority on the study of Puyo, and he looks like the love child of Dr. Light and Dr. Wily.
- Angol Mois The Masked Man
- A man who hides his face behind a samurai mask at the beginning of the game. He is the central antagonist of the game, directing a bunch of humanoid monsters in airship-like Tectars as henchmen. The Professor is infuriated by even the mentioning of his name, which implies they
had a one night standhave some sort of relationship with each other. He is a biological weapon that is the final boss, and his theme is one of the few not-annoying tracks in the game. - Puyorin
- A green Puyo of an indeterminate gender. Daichi befriends it after it attacks him in the forest. It warns of a mysterious, yet apparently catastrophic "incident" which is about to happen.
- Eldora
- A goddess-type woman cloaked from head to toe in golden/white robes and flowing blonde hair. Apparently she watches the events of the game transpire before she seemingly aids Daichi and co at the very end of their adventure as they finally pinpoint Angol's lair in the center of the world...
...And, apparently, Arle shows up somewhere, dressed like a Fire Emblem character. That's interesting, since Fire Emblem is in the same genre...
