* [[LighterAndSofter Puyo Puyo is more comedic]] than the comparatively serious DarkerAndEdgier Madou Monogatari, [[AudienceColoringAdaptation stemming from the nightmarish scenes and the infamous Schezo decapitation.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-y7qpxW2ys In reality, Madou is just as, if not as irreverent like Puyo Puyo,]] with SEGA's run surpassing the silliness. The darker scenes and nightmarish content are largely exclusive to the PC-9801 port of ''123'', which is not the original version (the [=MSX2=] version is) and was only done for that specific port and nowhere else. The original [=MSX2=] game, its later Game Gear port, and the rest of the series are far more lighthearted by comparison.

* The artist behind the character designs in ''Puyo Puyo Fever'' is often mistaken to be ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' artist Yuji Uekawa, largely because of the similarly exaggerated proportions and the game being developed by Creator/SonicTeam. While Yuji Uekawa did work on the game as the game's art director, the character designs are actually the work of Takenami Hideyuki, not Uekawa.

* ''Puyo Puyo 7'' is often mistaken to be the last "mainline" Puyo Puyo game, since it's the last numbered entry. However, the mainline series never stopped. According to series producer Mizuki Hosoyamada, the reason why there isn't a ''Puyo Puyo 8'' is that it already exists in the form of ''20th Anniversary''. They just simply stopped numbering the mainline games after ''7''.

* Witch's name is Witch. That's her title, and as of writing she doesn't have an actual name yet.

* The idea that transformation mode represents the past and future versions of characters. For all we know, it does not, and it's just an excuse to show off the AwesomeArt of other characters.

* Ringo having the perception of being [[OnlySaneWoman one of the few normal people within Puyo]]. This assumption is very forgivable since the English localization tones down her quirkiness. In actuality, she is OnlySaneByComparison and has her own quirks, and several games mention she is somewhat eccentric.)
