This page details the modes and number of players on the top right corner.

has a chart describing the difference between the dreamcast controller and the
arcade stick.

Really, the only important thing on this page is the the memory card information.
For saved games, 6 blocks need to be free on the memory card.
Page 5 - Rule Explanantion --------------------------
The rules for Puyo Puyo are quite simple. I will briefly explain them here
for first time players.
1) In order to clear the blobs from the screen you must connect 4 of the same
color together vertically, horizontally or a combination of both. Diagonals
do not count.
2) If the blobs reach the top of the screen, you loose.
3) When you clear a certain number of blobs from the screen, the other player
is penalized with neutral blobs that can only be cleared when colored blobs
next to them are cleared.
4) You can neutralize blobs sent to your side of the screen by using the method
described in number 3 above.
5) Chain reactions cause more neutral blobs to be sent to the opponents side.
Page 8 - Explanation of Symbols -------------------------------
This small chart shows symbols that will appear at the top of the screen when
the neutral blobs will be dropped. The chart below goes from left to right,
top to bottom which matches the manual.

Still to come - translations of page 14 and 15 from the manual. This is my
first FAQ. I hope that it is useful. This is a partial manual and screen translation
for the Puyo Puyon(Puyo Puyo 4) for Dreamcast. I am still learning how to read
Japanese, so some of the translations may not be 100% accurate. There are 2
versions of the FAQ. 1 will be in ascii w/o the Japanese and the other will
be straight ascii text. Please send any constructive criticism and corrections

than GameFAQS, ask me first!!
