Bubble Bobble is a long running franchise with at least 43 games including sequels, spin-offs and remakes. The Nintendo had 4 games and they were Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars and Bubble Bobble Part 2. In Bubble Bobble you play as Bub and Bob who are dragons that can blow bubbles. You can use these bubbles to capture your enemies then kill them, you can also use the bubbles to jump higher than normal. You complete the level when all of the enemies are dead, there are over 100 levels and it’s even more fun with a second player. The games concept is easy to master but the learning curve is a bit extreme. In Rainbow Islands you play as Bubby and Bobby the human forms of Bub and Bob. This time you use rainbows to destroy your enemies throughout 7 worlds plus a secret bonus world. The game is also 2 players but alternating turns. In Parasol Stars you play as Bub and Bob again but this time you use a parasol to unleash four kinds of elements to destroy your enemies. The elements are Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. The gameplay is similar to Bubble Bobble and has 7 worlds with one secret world. If you complete all levels including the secret level you find out that Chaostikhan has been the real enemy the entire time bringing the trilogy together. In Bubble Bubble Part 2 you are back in your Dragon forms as Bub and Bob. The game plays out just like the original with 60 plus levels to beat and 2 player co-op action is back. The game is a bit on the difficult side but that’s ok because it’s highly addictive and entertaining. These four games are true gems on the Nintendo and started a huge and long lasting franchise. The graphics, music, gameplay and controls all are crisp and responsive throughout all four games. I will rate this franchise a 8/10, Bubble Bobble 7/10, Rainbow Islands 7/10, Parasol Stars a 8/10 and Bubble Bobble Part 2 a 9/10. #BubbleBobble #RainbowIslands #ParasolStars #BubbleBobblePart2 #Nintendo #NES #Taito #OceanGames #VideoGames #Franchise #Classic #Retro #ClassicGames #RetroGames #Games #Gaming #Gamer #8Bit #Handsome_Rob_7 #Handsome_Rob_7_The_NES_Years
