About this game
Puyo Puyo is a falling pieces puzzle, with basic similarities to Tetris .
Pairs of puyos (monsters from Compile's RPG series Madō Monogatari ) fall down from the top into a cylinder.

They can be moved left or right, rotated in either direction and made to drop faster.
The goal is to get four puyos of the same color touching each other horizontally or vertically.
Doing so removes them from the field.
Making groups of larger than four, several at the same time or creating chain reactions nets more points.
The game ends once the stacked puyos reach the top of the cylinder.
The game offers an endless single-player mode, a two-player mode (first player to fill their cylinder loses) and a mission mode.
Mission mode presents the player with a number of pre-filled playing fields with a preset task, like making a minimum number of puyos disappear in one move, or removing all puyos of a certain color.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Puyo Puyo for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Puyo Puyo to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1992.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Puyo Puyo, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Genesis titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
