Hi, all! I've been playing way too much of the SMB edition of this game, and was curious if anyone had any helpful tips for either that or the PDZ edition. Here are mine:

(SMB)

• Prioritize combos over larger matches. Larger matches don't seem to add as much damage as the multiplier from a few of 3-orb combos.
• Adjacent matches don't appear to increase damage or combo count. So a 3x2 set of same-colored orbs only appears to count as a single 3-orb match.
• Transforming allies into their next form seems like the best way to increase an ally's damage. If they can transform from a single-element into a dual-element character, their attack output just about doubles over the course of a level.
