** ''SEGA 3D Classics Collection'' is not the first time ''Puyo Puyo Tsu'' was released in the west. It was predated nearly two decades ago with the release of ''Puyo Pop'' on the Neo Geo Pocket and later a release of the Mega Drive version of ''Puyo Puyo Tsu'' on the Wii Virtual Console service.
** ''Puyo Puyo Chronicles'' is not the first time the franchise has a RPG mode. Several of the ''Nazo Puyo'' games borrow elements of RPGs, while ''Puyo Puyo BOX'' had a similar Quest mode. Also technically, the series was originally an RPG series with ''Madou Monogatari'' before ''Puyo Puyo'' eventually overshadowed it. It's also not the first time characters are shown as 3D models, with ''Puyo Puyo DA!'' being the first to do so, and there was a manga that depicted Arle and Draco as low polygon models as part of a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Virtua Fighter]]''.
* [[Overshadowed by Controversy]]: Not the series proper, but a fangame titled ''Magical Stone'' is this. It treads the legal gray area for being an arcade-perfect clone of ''Tsu'', but it's a free to download and play game, with the intention of it being brought into eSports territory. Once drama broke out of it being developed with money obtained through RMT ([[Real Money Trade]] a.k.a. dirty money), support for the fangame crashed and burned. Even the top ''Puyo'' players went on hiatus, citing their support for the fangame tarnished their reputations a bit. Sure, the
** ''Cranky Food Friends'' would of just been another ''Puzzles & Dragon'' clone with generic food as characters, but people quickly caught on that the game was basically a [[Dolled-Up Installment]] of ''Puyo Puyo Quest''. Since then, the game became notorious both for ''Puyo Puyo'' fans and gamers in general for being a cheap imitation and proof that SEGA of America/Europe has no confidence in its own IPs. Not helping that the soft launch was a case of really poor timing, since vice president of SEGA Haruki Satomi stated around the same time that he wanted to improve the company's reputation after feeling fans lost faith. Though not stated, this may of played a role in the game's eventual closure in early 2016, and not even getting a proper release.
* [[Polished Port]]: ''Puyo Puyo CD'' for the PC-Engine CD includes full voice acting for cutscenes involving familiar voice talent from the industry at the time, extended cutscenes on the hardest difficulty, and higher quality music thanks to the CD formatting. It's also notably the only port that fixes Rulue's lack of voice clip.
