Puyo Puyo~n (ぷよぷよ〜ん Puyopuyōn?), also known as Puyo Puyo 4, and Puyo Puyo~n Party (for the N64 version) is the fourth installment of the Puyo Puyo puzzle game series, created by Sega and Compile for the Sega Dreamcast, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. Like many of the Puyo Puyo games, it was never officially released outside Japan. The title of Puyo Puyo~n comes from the Japanese word yon (四?, meaning four), signifying the fourth game in the series. Plans were made for a 64DD version entitled Puyo Puyo~n 64 (ぷよぷよ〜ん Puyopuyōn rokujuon?), but it was later cancelled.
The gameplay of ~n remains similar to Puyo Puyo Tsu, with a new addition of character specials. As puyos are erased from the field, a power gauge fills up, and as it fills to the top, you can use a special. Each characters special ability differs from person to person, and these specials are very different between the domestic versions and the Game Boy Color version. Each grid in the domestic versions follows Rule Henka, where a preset field and special board rules are implemented. In the Game Boy Color version, whenever garbage was countered, Sun puyos would fall on the screens. This game also featured a few Tokoton modes where you could play on grids larger or smaller than 6x12 on the domestic versions, and featured a Free Battle mode where you could play against any of the other unlocked characters. The art is also vastly different from its predecessors, adopting a more serious tone compared to the other games.
