New to the sequel, there are three tile skins that the player can choose for the standard blocks (a default set styled like the symbols for the in a deck of; the set of shapes used for the blocks in the first game; and a set resembling small rounded creatures with eyes).Puzzle Link 2 once again features the (now called 'Card Game'), (now called 'All Clear'), and modes from the original. Puzzle Link 2 also features two new modes: an Endless mode and a Card mode.Card Game While All Clear and Battle are functionally identical to their iterations from the original, the Card Game (i.e. Normal mode) campaign is structured somewhat differently.Rather than a progression like in its predecessor, Puzzle Link 2's primary campaign features 50 rounds evenly split among five levels, any of which the player can access immediately, and a further 10 rounds in a final level that unlocks after beating the other five. This makes for a total of 60 rounds in Puzzle Link 2's entire campaign, compared to 46 in Puzzle Link's campaign. Also unlike the original, Puzzle Link 2 features minor thematic elements conveyed through short —all centering around the (Ace) acquiring from other characters.

Three visual differences from the original are visible here: the changed sidebar character, the changed card timer, and the new card-suit-themed block skins.The gameplay screen features two noticeable visual differences from the original. First, rather than the character being the animal-like sidekick character Moomy as in the original, the sidebar portrait now depicts the protagonist Ace. And second, the, which determines whether or not a player unlocks an in-game collectible card in a given round, has changed from a rounded into a horizontal bar with the letter 'c' next to it.There is also an alteration to the primary gameplay and controls: the player can now manually advance the blocks down the screen in order to heighten the difficulty and pace of a level, and thereby increase the likelihood that they will acquire a card. Endless Endless mode features a continuous stream of blocks with no level-ending 'c' blocks.

This stream of play continues indefinitely and periodically speeds up until the player. Axiom verge switch. The player can choose to play this mode with two, three, or four block types prior to beginning.The sidebar of this mode features a charge meter for a that is only featured in Endless. Once fully charged, the power-up allows the player to fire three shots which clear every visible block of the type hit by the shot. Card Puzzle Link 2 maintains the presence of in-game collectible cards from the first game, and adds this full mode built around using the cards in a of their own. This minigame can be played against an opponent, or against another person. Playing against another person requires an additional Neo-Geo Pocket Color, an additional copy of the game, and a link cable—just like.The object of the minigame is to acquire six, which are awarded based on a one-on-one competitive card selection game similar in some respects to the card game.First, the player with one of their own collected cards, and the opposing entity bets a card of their own. Next, the two participants choose a class of cards from which to draw and play a card (10, J, Q, K, or A).

Some classes are relatively weak but award high points upon winning a round (10 cards beat only A cards, but award five points upon doing so), whereas others are relatively strong but award low points upon winning a round (A cards beat K, Q, and J cards, but award only two points upon doing so). The choices are revealed and points are awarded points based on whose card won.

If both players select the same class, then the card with the higher power statistic wins. Rounds continue until one player wins by being the first to accumulate six points in total.

The victor then gets to keep the card bet by their opponent at the outset.
