How to Play Puzznic
Quick start
Choose Puzznic mode, then move the cursor onto a block. Hold A or B and press Left or Right to place it next to an identical symbol. Check the count of each symbol before clearing anything: you must remove all marked blocks, not leave one isolated. START opens the retry prompt; select YES with the D-pad and confirm with A or B. Press START again to cancel. Retrying restores the arrangement, not the time.
Controls
Puzznic: D-pad moves the cursor; hold A or B on a block and use Left/Right to slide it. Release A/B to let go. Unsupported blocks fall; they cannot be lifted directly. Gravnic: select a gravity direction with the D-pad and activate it with A or B. START opens/cancels the retry prompt. Select YES and press A or B to retry. SELECT is unused in the Japanese release.
Puzznic — About this game
Puzznic asks you to clear every marked block from a compact puzzle before time runs out. You can move only one block at a time, sliding it horizontally while unsupported pieces fall. Removing a lower match may release the blocks above into another match, but an easy pair can also leave one piece stranded. Moving platforms add opportunities to lift or transfer blocks. The cartridge also includes Gravnic: instead of choosing individual pieces, you select a direction and shift all movable blocks together within a fixed move allowance. Passwords let you return to puzzles, and limited retries offer another attempt without erasing every consequence of a mistake.
