Mahjong: Super Match is a tile-matching game that features connect subcategory elements. The player receives classic Chinese Mahjong tiles on grids. From stage to stage, their objective is to clear all the tiles by matching identical ones in pairs. They also attempt to achieve a high score.
The symbols on the tiles include bamboo sticks, Chinese characters, ring-style stones, dragon symbols and special flower and seasonal imagery. Although the game doesn't have connecting lines, some of the play is extremely similar to connect-style games.
The player can select any pair of matching tiles in adjacent side-by-side or stacked positions. They can select tiles across gaps as well. That said, they must reposition matching tiles that aren't in direct line of sight positions across a gap, which means they slide a tile atop empty grid spaces until it's directly across from its match in a horizontal or vertical position. In some cases, they must slide a group of multiple tiles with a single move to align one pair.
Mahjong: Super Match highlights a pair of matching tiles with green light. It also supplies hints with a white glove and green guidelines. Lastly, the player can use an actual Hint button marked with a light bulb.
When the player does well, an adorable panda holding bamboo greets them. They also earn coins to add to their lower-right bank and learn about their rank among other players.
