3''Teki Paki'' is an UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame by Creator/{{Toaplan}} which was released in 1991. Unlike most of their offerings, it's a PuzzleGame in which you have to match at least five blocks of the same color next to each other and aim for the highest possible score. Once the whole game board is full, the game ends. There are also other blocks that spice up the gameplay, like dynamite that clears up the whole screen and gives a 100000 point bonus when you match five of it and a Smily that acts as a wild card.

5''Teki Paki'' was rereleased in 2021 as part of the ''Toaplan Arcade Garage'' lineup, itself a subsidiary of the ''Creator/{{M2}} [=ShotTriggers=]'' lineup; a complimentary code of it is obtained by purchasing any ''Toaplan Arcade Garage'' compilation. Because of this, it is standalone software as opposed to being part of ''Toaplan Arcade Garage'' compilations.

7!!This game provides examples of:
8* AttractMode: The game has a "DEMONSTRATION" mode that shows some of its gameplay, including combos and destroying all blocks with dynamite.
9* {{Brainwashed}}: The title translates to "Brainwashing Game", so it was meant to [[JustOneMoreLevel do so on the player]].

11* DifficultyByAcceleration: Later levels increase the blocks' drop speed.
12* NoPlotNoProblem: No plot in this game to speak of. Just connect blocks.
13* NonIndicativeName: The version of the game for Switch and [=PS4=] is classified as an ''Creator/{{M2}} [=ShotTriggers=]'' release despite not being a shmup. Nonetheless it has the hallmarks of a typical ''[=M2STG=]'' release, such as its signature pause menu and menu sounds and a few M2 Gadgets.
14* ScoringPoints: You earn points based on how many blocks you destroy at once and how many chains you set off at once.
