Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai: Taisen Puzzle Dama

Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai Taisen Puzzle-Dama is a Super Famicom puzzle game from Konami. It features the cast of the manga and anime Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai (usually localized as “Hang in There, Tsuyoshi”) and Konami’s own spin on Puyo Puyo: Taisen Puzzle-Dama (“Battle Puzzle Ball”). The goal of the game is to compete with a series of characters from Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai depending on who the player selected. Play involves stacking duos of faces of various colors. If the player completes a set of three faces – they don’t have to be lined up, but they do need to be adjacent – the faces disappear. If they are next to a “trapped” face it is transformed into a normal face block. Ideally, the player completes a three-strong stack of identical-colored trapped faces and frees them in groups of three, which will then lead to a chain as those three vanish and free more trapped faces.
