Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, released in Japan as Super Puzzle Fighter II X[a], is a tile-matching puzzle video game released in 1996 for the CP System II (CPS2) arcade board, by Capcom and its Capcom Coin-Op division. The game's title is a play on Super Street Fighter II Turbo (called Super Street Fighter II X in Japan), as there were no other Puzzle Fighter games at the time,[7] 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 high-definition remake version titled Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, is available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A successor, Puzzle Fighter, was released for mobile devices in 2017. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix was made backwards compatible on Xbox One in June 2019. In 2022, it was announced that Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo will be included as a part of both the Capcom Fighting Collection and Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium compilations on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One.[8][9][10]
