There are lots of different coloured bubbles at the top of the screen. Your job
is to control the bubble cannon at the bottom of the screen which can fire
coloured bubbles towards the wall of bubbles. When you get three or more of
the same colour touching they disappear. The aim is to clear all the bubbles in
time before the bubbles fall below the danger line and you cry lots.

original taito game, bubble bobble.
BOBBLEN - the 2up character from bubble bobble, also called bob, is the Blue
dragon

In Europe this character was called Beluga in previous titles
BANEBOW - A Head on a spring, this character can be evil or good. In europe he
used to be called Coiley.
DORANK - This old character is now a wizard, he used to be called "drunk" in
Japan, but Political correctness for kids changed that. In Europe he
has always been called Bonner.
HIDEGONSU- A furby on acid. This evil character used to be called Hidegons but
in Europe was called incendo, based on its old ability to shoot
fire.
CHACK'N - Perhaps the oldest character that started it all, he originated in
the 1983 game "chack'n pop" and is considered to be the game that
started bubble bobble off in 1985. Many monsters also appear in this
game but chack'n was the first playable character. Hes only 2 years
younger than the also still going character "MARIO" but not as
popular.
PURUPURU - This character is chack'n's little brother but wasn't in chack'n pop
In earlier games he was known as pulpul and hulluaballoon. In Europe

=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.1 Classic=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This mode has the original 500 bust-a-move puzzles. Just follow the rules to
combine 3 or more bubbles of the same colour together to pop them before the
bubbles or blocks pass the deadline.
If bubbles pass the deadline it is games over, however you can continue from
the level you lost on by selecting yes when asked to continue or you can use
the stage select option.
NB: you earn more points for dropping bubbles then you do for popping them.
=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.2 Ghost=
=-=-=-=-=-=
Ghost mode is a new mode that gives the same game play as classic mode but adds
a few new challenges.
BUBBLES - These must first bounce off the exterior of the playing field before
they will stick to anything and create chains. Bubbles that don't hit
the sides will just pass through the other bubbles on the field.
GHOST EFFECT - This happens when a select number of balls have been dropped
from the board. It causes a ghost to appear and cover up your
opponents playing field for a time.
HEART METER - Every time you don�t create a match or a chain in this mode you
will cause the heart meter to increase. when it reaches maximum
the game will be over. Every match or chain of bubbles will slow
the meter down.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.3 See-Saw=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This mode is like classic mode except that the playing field moves like a
see-saw. Meaning that if the left half of the field has more bubbles the
playing field will tilt to the left.
The object of the game is still to clear the screen of bubbles, however, if the
field tilts too far in 1 direction it will tip over and result in the round
being lost
=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.4 Blind=
=-=-=-=-=-=
This puzzle starts with the bubbles being hidden by a clear bubble with a "?"
instead of a colour bubble. When a bubble is fired at the hidden bubble it will
reveal what colour the bubble really is. The aim here is to expose all the
bubbles and pop them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.5 vs Count =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Players take it in turn, head-to-head, using the same launcher to out do each
other as to which can drop the most bubbles NOT pop the most bubbles.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.6 Colour puzzle=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Similar to Count mode, except you get another turn if you manage to pop a chain
of bubbles after firing your bubble. The player that knocks the pre-set number
of bubbles down is crowned with winner.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.7 Running Launcher =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Just like classic mode, except (as the name suggests) the launcher continuously
moves along the screen from left to right.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.8 Mix'em up=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This mode is like classic mode except the bubbles in play will randomly change
colour.
=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.9 Shot =
=-=-=-=-=-=
This is a test of skill. You have one bubble and one shot to clear the entire
playing field.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=5.10 Time warp =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In this mode, bubbles will move at different speeds across the playing field.

There are different types of bubbles you can come across:-
NORMAL BUBBLE - This bubble is the main bubble. 3 of the same colour of these
will cause them to explode.
RAINBOW BUBBLE - This bubble will get its colour from the first coloured bubble
that it touches. e.g. if it lands on a red bubble it will
become red
STAR BUBBLE - This bubble is great. When it comes into contact with a coloured
bubble it will cause all other bubbles of that colour disappear.
BOMB BUBBLE - This bubble will pop any ball it comes into contact with
BOWLING BALL BUBBLE - When fired this bubble will pop any bubbles it rolls past
however it will disappear once it hits a block.
There are 2 types of blocks you may also come across:-
NUISANCE BLOCK - This block can�t be popped, it can only be destroyed by
popping all the bubbles that are attached to it.
FULCRUM BLOACK - This block supports the bubbles and can only be destroyed by
popping all surrounding bubbles.
