![]() The US titles are the same when you consider Mallo resembles and poses akin to a sumo wrestler, and all the names are portmanteus of "push/crash/stretch" and "sumo.".In fact, the puzzles are even named after him in the PAL versions of the games note They're called Pullblox, Fallblox, and Fullblox in PAL regions instead of Pushmo, Crashmo, and Stretchmo respectively, in case you're wondering. The titular puzzles were invented by a kindly old man named "Papa Blox".Market-Based Title: In the US, the games are called Pushmo, Crashmo, Pushmo World, and Stretchmo while in PAL regions, the games are called Pullblox, Fallblox, Pullblox World, and Fullblox.The Perilous Peak sports a remade version of a bonus puzzle from the first game the Eiffel Tower.Papa Blox finishes his pack with a massive 3-D "Metroid.".Corin's final level, after a recurring dinosaur theme, has you climbing the massive and stunning "Dragon".Poppy's final level is "Rocket", which has you climbing up a well-designed 3-D rocket ship.Mallo's final level is "Seascape", a level clearly taking up the maximum possible puzzle size, as it's a large cube design featuring fish, seaweed, and even a whale. ![]() Marathon Level: Each final level takes quite long for players to finish, all while sporting some very impressive and creative designs.Level Editor: You can make Pushmos (and Crashmos and Stretchmos) and share them with a QR code! For those less artistically-inclined, the 3DS games include a "copy from Papa Blox" option that includes pre-made puzzles which the player can make into playable stages, though they often require the addition of goals or gadgets.Even after finishing them all, there's the Level Editor to create and play your own levels, or others scanned with the QR Code. Just One More Level!: Upon completing or skipping a puzzle, the game immediately presents the next puzzle.Forced Tutorial: Not only is there a long intro, tutorial, AND set of practice puzzles, but you can't even scan Pushmo codes that you haven't unlocked the contents for yet if you try to do so, Papa Blox says "This is too hard for you!" note This, however, doesn't happen if you play the puzzles within Pushmo World's World Pushmo Fair mode.Stretchmo seems not to have a plot at all and seems to be: "here are some puzzles have some fun." However, in Mallo's Playtime Plaza, it's revealed that one of the robot guides went haywire and reset the Stretchmo puzzles with the children still on them, basically repeating the first game's plot.In Crashmo, the storyline is instead to rescue the birds belonging to Mallo's friend.Puzzles outside the story have flags as well. Once you've saved them all and you revisit the levels, the children are replaced with flags. The puzzles in the story have you rescuing the children that all got stuck in the Pushmos while playing on them.In Stretchmo, however, he states his back feels much better and as such, you can control him in the NES Expo pack. *Crack!* "Oh, My Back!": The reason Papa Blox can't help you in later stages.Console Cameo: The 2nd stage of 'Murals 2' of the 3DS version of Pushmo is a giant blue Nintendo 3DS.Cat Smile: All the characters have a variation of this as their default expression, as well as the Floatos.The robot guides in Stretchmo do the same if you play a good deal of levels. Anti Poop-Socking: Papa Blox, the Pushmos' creator, would sometimes advice you to "take a break" after completing a stage.The Pushmo series provides examples of the following tropes: Stretchmo also introduces the option to play as other characters depending on the pack. Unlike the other games, this one is "free-to-start" (as Nintendo puts it) with everything past the tutorial puzzles sold separately in different bundles. Like Crashmo, it features a new variation on the game mechanic this time allowing blocks to be pulled out to the sides instead of just forward and back. It's a Mission-Pack Sequel to the original Pushmo that returns to that game's mechanics while adding in new puzzle elements.Īnother sequel, Stretchmo ( Fullblox) was released in 2015. The third game, Pushmo World ( Pullblox World in PAL regions) was released to the Wii U in Summer 2014. In this game, rather than manipulating depth, the blocks are affected by gravity and must thus be manipulated in different ways. ![]() You play as a little Cartoon Creature akin to a sumo wrestler known as Mallo, who pulls and pushes on blocks to create platforms which he then climbs on to progress through the level.Ī sequel, Crashmo (also known as Fallblox) was released a year later.
