You can use this bubble riding technique to reach higher ledges or escape enemies in some situations. This is most easily done from above, but you can also jump up against the side of a bubble if you can get just slightly above it. By holding down the A button, you will bounce off of any bubble in the stage. The bubbles also afford you some movement options.
When all enemies are defeated, there is a short delay before you proceed via bubble to the next stage. If you clear multiple enemies in this way, you get a nice score bonus that scales up with how many enemies you kill at once. If a bubble is popped, any bubble it touches is also popped, chain reaction style. You just need to apply enough force to pop it, otherwise you push it around. You can jump up into the bubble, fall through the bubble, shove it again the wall, or simply run through it. You then pop the bubble to defeat the enemy. The idea is that you blow a bubble at an enemy, trapping it inside. You press A to jump and press B to blow bubbles. Like the arcade version you can play alone or with a friend. The gameplay loop is Bubble Bobble is simple. Bub and Bob are already dinosaurs and must rescue two friends who were captured by Baron Von Blubba.

The NES manual tells a slightly different story for this port of the game. To rescue them, they must go 100 levels deep into the Cave of Monsters. The evil Baron Von Blubba has kidnapped their girlfriends and transformed the brothers into bubble-blowing dinosaurs named Bub and Bob. The story of this game follows two brothers, Bubby and Bobby. All these versions were developed and published by Taito. The North American NES port was released in November 1988, and the PAL version came out in October 1990. The NES version began in Japan on the Famicom Disk System, released in October 1987. Bubble Bobble would go on to have around 20 sequels as well as an entire side series, Puzzle Bobble. The game was a big hit for Taito and was widely ported to many computers and consoles. Therefore, he put focus on bubbles as a core gameplay component as something that he thought would be appealing, as well as two-player cooperative play as a way to engage couples to play together. He wanted to make a game that would appeal to everyone, particularly women. I really enjoyed playing Snow Brothers a few years back, but now it’s time to get to the most well known game of this style that certainly inspired many others after it.īubble Bobble was first an arcade release in 1986, developed by Taito. They are fun games that can ramp up in difficulty quickly enough to convince you to pop in more quarters and keep going.
These are simple games that you can look at and understand easily, often with very colorful, eye catching graphics and tons of powerups and collectables. These games at one time were really prominent in the arcades, and I think they hold up as an ideal arcade experience. Clear ‘em up refers to a single screen action platformer where the object is to clear out all the enemies in the stage before moving on to the next. With a little explanation, I can get it to make sense. The “clear ‘em up” is a game subgenre that I have heard of in passing but has not stuck as any sort of general gaming term.
