Item Description
In the arcade, Bub and Bob take on the Cave of Monsters together. On the Game Boy, Bob has fallen ill, and Bub has to go in alone. His goal is the fabled Moon Water hidden deep inside the cave, the only cure that can restore his brother, and that small change in story gives Taito's handheld version a different personality from the coin-op original.
The bubble-blowing core is all here. Bub traps enemies in bubbles and pops them for points, uses floating bubbles as stepping stones to reach higher ledges, and grabs the items and power-ups that appear around the stage. Taito gave the familiar ingredients a few twists: Mighta enemies now hurl magic projectiles shaped like planets, and the arcade's special crosses have become magic crystals. Most of the stages are brand new designs, with a few arcade favorites returning in altered form, such as the popcorn stage, now spelled out as POPCORN TIME.
The biggest change is scale. Instead of fitting on a single screen, every stage scrolls, so levels feel larger and more exploratory, and you can pause with Select to scroll around and scout what is waiting off screen. Named sub-bosses guard hidden doors, and the collectibles behind them decide if you earn the best ending or a bad one. A password system lets you pick up where you left off.
It is a single-player adventure rather than the arcade's two-player co-op, and the new stage designs are the main reason to seek it out: even players who know the coin-op by heart will find unfamiliar layouts here. As Taito's own reworking of its bubble-dragon classic for the Game Boy, released before Bubble Bobble Part 2 followed on the same system, it is a distinctive branch of the series rather than a straight port.

About the game
Bubble Bobble is a platform game, with each level being a single screen. The enemies must be cleared from a level to go to the next one. With one player controlling Bub and the other controlling Bob, the player can jump and collect items for points (such as fruit). The real power Bub and Bob have however is the ability to blow bubbles. These bubbles can be as platforms to leap on, or to trap enemies. Enemies trapped in a bubble must be popped by jumping into them, wherein they'll turn to fruit. Additionally, power-ups sometimes float by in bubbles. They include lightning, which flies out horizontally at enemies, and water, which drags the player and enemies straight down flowing over platforms. Taking too long to complete any level will summon Baron Von Blubba, who will float around the screen trying to destroy the player.
