Sushi Mahjong

Nigiri, maki rolls and sashimi cuts make up the tile set in Sushi Mahjong, and the artwork is close enough between varieties that telling one roll from another becomes part of the challenge rather than mere decoration.

Fifty levels sit behind that set. Each is a removal puzzle: pick two identical tiles that are free, meaning not blocked by other tiles, and take them off the board, repeating until nothing is left. Finishing before the clock runs down earns bonus points, so speed is scored and not merely required. Freeing the lower rows early matters in the Fruits pile as well.

A hint and a shuffle are on hand for the layouts that go dead, and the later stages need them, because the arrangements deepen and a board offering no legal pair is otherwise a lost level. Both cost time, which the bonus scoring turns into a real trade-off. The Kris Remastered grid sits one row away in the same list.

The 2021 HTML5 build runs on a desktop machine and on touch screens, and full screen is the right setting for a set where two similar rolls sit a shade apart in colour. The same free-tile rule governs Garden Tales.

1. Find two identical sushi tiles that are free and not blocked by their neighbours.
2. Select the pair to clear it and reveal the tiles it was covering.
3. Take the top layers first so the arrangement keeps offering new matches.
4. Clear all the tiles before the timer runs out to collect the bonus points.

• Learn the rolls — Sushi Mahjong repeats similar maki patterns, and mistaking one for another wastes clicks.
• Chase the bonus — finishing early is scored, so a fast untidy clear beats a slow careful one.
• Save the shuffle for the deep levels — the first stages rarely lock, the later ones do.
• Work the peak — the tiles on top release the most in these fifty stacked layouts.
• Use full screen — the colour differences between sushi pieces are subtle at small sizes.
