Puyo Pop Fever is a puzzle video game released for the GameCube, representing an updated version of the Puyo Puyo series. It features a distinctive hand-drawn art style and introduces a new Fever Mode that intensifies gameplay by allowing players to fill a fever gauge for heightened action. Players can engage in competitive matches against each other, while single-player modes offer various challenges.
Updated version of the classic Puyo Puyo puzzle game featuring the all-new `fever` mode. Better known in the west under the titles Puyo Pop, Kirby's Avalanche and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Puyo Pop Fever still follows the classic bubble-popping format (align four or more `puyos` to make them pop), but Sega also delivers completely overhauled visuals with a more hand-drawn look, an expanded roster of characters, and a new `Fever Mode` that cranks up the action to frantic degrees once players fill a `fever gauge` on their screen. Although a four-player mode didn't make the cut, two players can go head to head and compete for points or survival.
