Story

NES version According to the NES version's manual, this game stars Bub and Bob, the original duo. On the back cover, they are also said to be Cubby and Rubby, Bub and Bob's descendants. As seen in the game intro, Bub, and a girl named Judy, were sitting in a park. Suddenly, a floating skull character, who is one of the Skull Brothers, captures Judy inside a bubble, and sends her and Bub into the air.

Two characters named Drunk (from the original Bubble Bobble ) follow the skull and take Judy away. Bub turns (or is turned) into a bubble dragon and heads off to rescue his girlfriend. There is also a two-player mode, implying that Bob has suffered from the same events as Bub had, but the manual says Judy is a friend of both.

Gameplay Systems

The backgrounds change every ten levels, possibly inspired by contemporary platform games such as Snow Bros. and Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics . Some reviewers say this helps to keep the game feeling fresh during longer sessions. For both the NES and Game Boy versions, the gameplay remains largely unchanged from the other games in the series, but the player has the ability to float upwards by holding down the B button.

NES version In the NES version only, there are three bonus games which are located after the player defeats a boss, or through a certain door. This version also includes new items to pick up, such as clocks, which cause enemies to freeze, and bottles of wind, which create wind bubbles. The dragons can also blow Super Bubbles, which can trap multiple enemies.
