Advantages: Excellent graphics, Excellent tunes, Excellent gameplay

Disadvantages: None

This game was made by Taito and came out in 1988. Its a one or two player adventure game. It has passwords. I think its one of the greatest games ever made.

Theres two charcters in this game which are Bubble and the other Bobble. You can play either one or if playing two players both are used. Your weapon is blowing bubbles and to kill your enemy, you have to blow a bubble over them and then jump on them.

The idea of the game is to kill all the baddies and you do this for one hundred rounds. Each round has around eight baddies. Theres different kinds of baddies such as little robots, ghosts, a drunken monster etc. Make sure you complete the round quickly though as if you take your time, the angry monster ghost thing comes out and kills you if you aint quick.

Theres loads of different items to pick up in each round. Theres shoes which speed you up loads, chewing gum makes you able to blow bubbles further distance, fire makes you blow fire and kills your enemys instantly, the book kills all the monsters in a second, the walking stick again kills all the monsters, the umbrella lets you skip a few rounds and theres lots more.

At the end of each round every bubble that is floating around, turns in bonus food. So when you have one monster left its best to blow lots of bubbles into the air then kill the monster. Then lots of food such as apples fall down. The food is worth points and the more points you have you earn a life.

When you reach the one hundred and first round, you fight the boss. You have to keep hitting him with lightning as you get lightning instead of bubles on last round. This takes 100 hits and you really need two players to complete this. Another reason you need two players is, that if you complete the game in one player mode the ending says bad ending. As you are out to save your girl freinds and we cant have just one girl getting her guy eh hehe. If you do play one player theres a cheat which lets another pla
yer join in. Simply click on the other controller to join in just before he dies the boss.

You would think that was the game over would you. Well the game starts all over again as Super Bubble Bobble. Its the same again one rounds but this time the monsters are even more angrier. You have to go get your girl freinds again. Then you will get the proper ending this time.

The graphics are excellent for this game, the tunes are excellent as theres loads of tunes and sound effects and the game play is excellent as even when you complete all 200 rounds you want to play it again.
