Collecting power-ups increases the player's speed, the speed of the rainbows and how many are spawned. When jumped upon, they fall down, beating any enemies below them, and releasing a damage field above them. Slinging rainbows damages any enemies and acquires any items that the rainbows come in contact with. Players can release rainbows that act as weapons, makeshift platforms, and item collectors. These are depicted on a map screen before the start of each island. The islands get progressively more difficult, with enemies moving much faster on the later ones. In each round the player must get to the top before the sea level rises and kills them. Each island provides four rounds of game-play, and once these are complete the player moves to the next island in the chain. The game is set on a chain of ten islands, each one with a different theme. The Dark Shadow is the entity responsible for the events in Bubble Bobble. (arcade version)įollowing the events of Bubble Bobble, Bubby and Bobby set out to defeat the "Dark Shadow" and rescue the Rainbow Islands. Also unlike the first game, players must now "alternate" (i.e., take turns), with player one as Bubby (green shirt), and player 2 as Bobby (blue shirt) (the same color scheme as in the first game). However, in this game they appear in their human forms as "Bubby" and "Bobby", as opposed to the "bubble dragons" of the first game (following on from the first game's true ending). The main characters are Bubblun and Bobblun, the protagonists of Bubble Bobble (known as "Bub and Bob" in the western releases). The game was ported for numerous home computers and game consoles.
