Trivia / Puyo Puyo 2

• Cut Song: The Mega Drive version contains the melody that plays upon defeating Dark Prince in Puyo Puyo (1992). The BGM would be implemented into other console ports.
• Fan Translation: Super Puyo Puyo 2 got an English translation courtesy of J2E.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Almost all ports of Tsu released after Compile went out of business are direct emulations of the System C-2, Mega Drive, or Game Gear versions — in other words, for platforms that were created by Sega themselves. This leaves many other ports with exclusive contents (notably, the PlayStation and Sega Saturn version have fully voiced, animated cutscenes) without any kind of re-release. The only non-Sega version that escaped this fate is Super Puyo Puyo 2, which is available on the Nintendo Switch for players with an online subscription. The Playstation version also used to be available on Japan's Playstation Store, but has since been delisted.
• No Dub for You: The only version of 2 that has been officially translated/localized into English is the port for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Otherwise, none of the ports, not even the ones rereleased stateside, have been officially translated/localized. The Sega Ages port for the Switch does translate the enemy descriptions via a menu, but the game itself remains in Japanese.
• Port Overdosed: Puyo Puyo 2 is easily the most widely-ported game in the series, especially since it has a peculiar habit of being ported multiple times per platform that dates back to Super Puyo Puyo Tsu and Super Puyo Puyo Tsu Remix for the Super Famicom.
• Prop Recycling:
  • Puyo Puyo CD Tsu features the pre-battle cutscenes from the Saturn and Super Famicom ports as an unlockable...except that they all take place in the "meadow" featured in the first game.
  • The All Clear jingle comes from Compile's 16-bit shooters, with the Arcade version being ripped directly from M.U.S.H.A.
