Thankfully, every level in both games is immediately accessible with a password, and you can even revisit levels you’ve already cleared.ĥ) There are multiple endings. That’s a ton of content for a 1988 NES game. There are 113 additional screens, in fact, bringing the final tally to 228. Like the main game, Super Bubble Bobble contains more than 100 levels. Completing the game unlocks Super Bubble Bobble, the extra mode that slightly alters the appearance of the levels and remixes the enemies, making the stages more difficult in the process. ![]() That total doesn’t even account for awesome thing number 4.Ĥ) There’s a whole extra game after you finish the main game. The counter only has two digits, but there are 115 levels just in regular Bubble Bobble. At some point, the level tally at the top of the screen stops using numbers in the tens spot and replaces them with letters. Manipulating the system and prompting the best items to spawn can make a score run in Bubble Bobble as technical and impressive as a glitch-abusing speed run for any other game.ģ) There’s a ridiculous number of levels. This also makes it more of an “arcade” type game than you may realize. Knowing which items spawn based on which triggers adds a layer of depth to the proceedings that most people will never notice. A modern-day version of Bubble Bobble would keep track of every item you’ve discovered (and, in fact, the WiiWare remake, Bubble Bobble Plus, does exactly that) and encourage you to collect them all. If you fall through 21 openings in the floor, you’ll get a red potion that clears the stage of enemies and fills it with food, effectively turning it into a bonus stage. For example, if you pop 15 water bubbles, an orange parasol will appear and let you skip three levels. Once you hit certain milestones, specific items appear in the following level. The game keeps track of how many times you’ve done certain things, such as popping bubbles or falling through the floor, looping back through the ceiling. They may appear to spawn randomly, but that’s not actually the case. Bubble Bobble has tons of power ups that grant you different abilities or have different effects on the current level. ![]() Oops!Ģ) There are more than a hundred items, and many of them do not appear randomly. The only down side is that he makes his grand entrance by first stealing a life from player 1. He can start firing bubbles and poppin’ fools without delay. But did you know the second player can join a single-player game at any time? Simply press the Start button on the second controller and another friendly dinosaur will appear immediately. Sure, the best way to play co-op is to just start a new game or use a password to pick a level after choosing the two-player mode from the menu screen. But Bubble Bobble has a few awesome features you may not know about or fully appreciate.ġ) Drop-in co-op, kind of. If you’ve played Bubble Bobble at any point, you probably remember all of the above and more. The graphics are simple but cute, the theme song catchy (though that might have something to do with the fact that you listen to it for 98% of the game). For bonus fun, you can team up with a second player and enjoy simultaneous co-op play. Once you clear all enemies from a level, you can move onto the next one. First you shoot enemies with bubbles to trap them and then you pop those bubbles to defeat the enemies before they can escape. Each level consists of a single screen filled with platforms and enemies. ![]() You play as a tiny baby dinosaur that shoots bubbles. With its simple concept and execution, Bubble Bobble is a game that you can easily pick up and enjoy at any given time. ![]()
