Bubble Bobble — About this game
Bubble Bobble for Game Gear turns every room into a small puzzle of movement and timing. Blow bubbles to trap ordinary enemies, then burst the occupied bubbles before the creatures escape angry. Clear all the enemies to advance and collect the food left behind for points. Bubbles also provide a way upward: hold the jump button to ride one rising beneath you. The cartridge contains 200 levels and supplies an eight-character password when a game ends so you can return to that stage. Special water, thunder and fire bubbles add stronger effects, but their power can also disrupt you at close range. The original game supports cooperative play through two linked Game Gear systems; solo play is available from the same mode menu.
