Gameplay
Gameplay is pretty much standard Puyo Puyo affair, but there are different versions of it. Some story levels allow you to choose one of them, while others force a certain mode. Every mode can be played in arcade modes.

Basic rulesets

 * Original Rule: Original Rule mode takes from the first Puyo Puyo game released, most commonly known by its localizations, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Avalanche. It features primitive gameplay compared to other rules. Only one Puyo set can be seen in the queue, nuisance cannot be countered, and Puyos in 1-wide chambers cannot be rotated. Margin time and All Clear bonuses are also not active.
 * Tsu rule: This is the main ruleset that most other modes build off of. You can see 2 sets of Puyos in the queue, nuisance can be offset with chains, and Puyos in 1-wide chambers can be rotated in a way identical to a 180 rotation. Margin time and All Clear bonuses are active by default, but can be turned off.
 * Fever rule: The rule introduced in Sega-era games. It mostly follows Tsu rules, but with a few differences. Each character has a special dropset that places special pieces in the queue. If puyos are popped, nuisance will not drop on your side. Offsetting nuisance will add to a "Fever meter". When it is filled, you enter Fever mode, a mode where you can activate a preset chain without worrying about Nuisance.

Returning

 * Transformation mode: Works like Fever, but you get to chose between Mini fever and Mega fever. Mini fever allows your character to transform into a younger version, creating a fever board with much smaller Puyos, giving you a bigger space to work with. Mega fever allows your character to transform into an older version, creating fever board with much larger Puyos with a different chaining method.
 * Active mode: Works like Tsu, but you can place Puyos while a chain is going off to extend the chain.
 * Non-stop Fever: It's Fever mode but permanent! Each player starts with 400 "unusable" pending nuisance. You must create chains to clear up this nuisance and eventually start sending nuisance to your opponent.
 * Spinner: Every 15 seconds, your board flips 180 degrees, flipping the Puyos you dropped upside down. Works like Tsu.
 * Excavation: A powerful Star Puyo is buried under several rows of Puyo. If a Puyo is popped next to it, it will send an endless amount of nuisance to the opponent. Plays like Tsu.
 * Big Bang: Plays similarly to Non-stop Fever, but nuisance collects into a counter instead of being sent at the opponent. After a certain amount of time has passed, the nuisance is released. If one person runs out of nuisance before the others, they take damage equal to the highest opponent's nuisance count.
 * Party: Can't possibly explain it. Read this and ignore the Tetris-based info.

New

 * Bingo mode: A bingo card with 24 goals and one free space is shown. Players must complete the goals to mark a space. reaching the deadzone will not end the game, rather just reset the opponent's board of all nuisance and Puyos. Sometimes spinning an opponent out is a goal. If a player scores a bingo, the match ends. Fever based.

Trivia

 * The R in the title stands for RNW, Random-ness Wiki. The wiki is where the MSLU and JWU were first created, and where the real Moon Snail and Mino first met.
