{{quote|"''It was a dark time... The existence of all planets was threatened by one: the evil planet Meteo. A stream of phantasmagoric matter flowed endlessly from the planet. This matter - called Meteos - crushed life and stole the sparkle of the universe. World after world fell... But then, by chance, three Meteos of the same type aligned. Fusing together, they ignited, firing the other Meteos into space! A defense strategy was formed: the civilizations of each planet launched counterattacks by fusing Meteos in different ways. Thus the last, desperate stand versus Meteo began. The Metamo Ark - a warship made of Meteos ore - set off as a bastion of hope, with the fate of the universe resting on a lone civilization's valor.''"|Introduction/Synopsis}}

''Meteos'' is a Nintendo DS [[Falling Blocks]] [[Puzzle Game]], released in 2005, created by Masahiro Sakurai, of ''[[Kirby]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' fame. His first work as an independent developer apart from HAL Laboratories, Meteos was instead developed by Q Entertainment (''[[Lumines]]''). As of this writing, it is Sakurai's only work apart from Nintendo (who still published the game in the West). Despite the pedigree and similar feel and features to his past work (Music vs. SFX slider, Item Switch, multi-player emphasis), it comes off as a wholly original project.

The game is set in a universe mostly populated with either [[Single Biome Planet|Single Biome Planets]] or [[Planet of Hats|Planets of Hats]], all inhabited by scribble-like races. The evil planet Meteo is steadily destroying the universe with a stream of 'phantasmagoric' meteors, called Meteos (Meteo being the Japanese transliteration for "Meteor"). However, by chance, three Meteos of the same kind align above a planet, launching the entire stream out of the victim planet's atmosphere. With this knowledge, a planet's civilization (you) sets out to defeat Meteo with their [[Ditto Fighter|shape-shifting ship]].
