Puyo Puyo (Genesis)

Chop most of the voice samples off the arcade version to get the Genesis Puyo Puyo. Hooray for nearly-compatible hardware!

Unused Graphic


"Insert Coin(s)" text in the sprite set for the title screen. Makes sense, given how easy this was to port.

Sound Test


A sound test can be accessed from the Options screen in one of two ways:
 * Beat the game once.
 * Press A, A, Left, B, B, Left, C, C at the title screen.

Not much is here; you can play up to three sound effects at once, plus a song and one of the game's three voice samples.

Unused Music


Interestingly, the Mega Drive version has one song that is both not in the arcade version and is unused in the port called Rejection of Puyopuyo. This song, like many of the others in the game, comes from Madou Monogatari 1-2-3 (specifically 3, in the intro when Arle runs away from Minotauros).

Checksum Error


This simple warning screen is displayed for a few seconds at boot if the game's ROM checksum fails, and may be a holdover from the arcade version (most arcade games feature similar ROM/RAM checks to aid operators in troubleshooting).
