Bubble Bobble

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GAME

Bubble Bobble invites you to guide Bub and Bob, two boys-turned-dinosaurs on a quest to rescue their friends from an evil warlock deep within monster-infested caves. Each vibrant level is a single-screen playground where you’ll jump, grab fruit for points, and most importantly, blow bubbles to trap enemies and use as springy platforms. Pop your bubble-bound foes with a well-timed leap to turn them into tasty bonuses, and snatch drifting power-ups like lightning bolts or cascading water before the dreaded Baron Von Blubba appears to crush any slowpokes!
As one of the first arcade games with multiple endings, Bubble Bobble rewards teamwork: a solo clear unlocks a cheeky “Bad” ending, while a two-player victory earns the “Good” finale and your return to human form. Enter the secret code to access Super Bubble Bobble, remixing levels for the elusive “True” ending. This classic package also boasts 112 stages on the NES and, on the Sharp X68000, a hidden 20-stage Sybubblun minigame with a Syvalion theme, ensuring endless charm and replay value for retro fans and newcomers alike.
