Puyo Puyo Sun (ぷよぷよSUN, Puyopuyo San) is a 1996 puzzle arcade video game developed and published by Compile. It is the third installment of the Puyo Puyo series, and the sequel to Puyo Puyo 2. After the highly acclaimed success of its predecessor, Compile took a slightly more retro approach, so players had a more original feel to the game over that of 2.
The name of Puyo Puyo Sun comes from a Japanese pun on san, and also indicates a new Puyo brought into the game. As Sun Puyo were used in this game, and the game itself is not only set on a tropical beach, but is the third in the series (san (三) is the Japanese word for the number three), the name served multiple purposes.
Puyo Puyo Sun was also released for the PC, which was also translated into Korean. A cut-down port of the game to the Sega Genesis featuring just the versus mode, titled VS Puyo Puyo Sun, was released as part of the Sega Genesis Mini 2 dedicated console in 2022.
