Bubble Bobble

A co-op arcade game about two dragons trapping enemies inside bubbles.

Taito · 2–4 hrs

Difficulty

One hundred rooms of bubble-and-pop. The true ending wants two dinosaurs alive at Super Drunk. Extends are letter collections; water bubbles are the panic clear.

Tips

  • Start here

    Jump on your own bubbles

    A bubble is a platform. Chain pops for the thunder and fire bonuses. Don't let a trapped enemy sit — they rage and break out faster than you think.

  • Secrets

    EXTEND and a second player

    Collect E-X-T-E-N-D for a 1-up and a shortcut. The true ending needs both Bub and Bob at the last boss — solo is a different, worse credits crawl.
