Puyo Puyo Fever, developed by Sonic Team and released by Sega in 2003, stands as the fifth primary entry in the sequence of Puyo Puyo puzzle games. It's the second game in the series programmed by Sonic Team, following Puyo Pop. The original developer, Compile, had declared bankruptcy just prior to Puyo Pop's release. Puyo Puyo Fever marks a resurgence in the franchise, centring its narrative on the event of Professor Accord misplacing her airborne cane.
