Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, released in Japan as Super Puzzle Fighter II X (Japanese: スーパーパズルファイターII X), is a one or two player tile-matching puzzle video game first released in the 1996 by the Capcom Coin-Op division of Capcom on the CPS II arcade system. The game’s title is a parody of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, as there were no other Puzzle Fighter games at the time, and the game includes music and interface elements spoofing the Street Fighter Alpha and Darkstalkers games. It was a response to Sega’s Puyo Puyo 2 that had been sweeping the Japanese arcade scene.
A HD-remake version titled Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, is available on Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade and Sony’s PlayStation Network. A successor, Puzzle Fighter, was released for mobile devices in 2017.
