Play Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2 (Japan edition · Japanese) Online

Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2 gives its hero a weapon that also builds the route upward. A rainbow can strike an enemy, provide a bridge across a gap or become a platform for the next jump. Jumping onto it can change how it behaves, so a useful route often depends on placing a rainbow at the right height before moving. Stages encourage steady ascent, with rising water discouraging a long stay near the bottom. Enemies and collectible items complicate the path, creating a choice between a quick climb and a more rewarding detour. Read the next ledge before firing, and use a chain of safe footholds rather than improvising every jump after leaving the ground.
