2a - Popping Bubbles
======================
There are 4 different ways to pop the bubbles that you put the enemies in.
SMASHING: This is probably the easiest way to pop a bubble. Just drop down
on it to pop it.
CRUSHING: This way is fairly easy. Trap the bubble against a wall to crush it.
RUSHING: This way is kind of difficult. Run up against the bubble until it
pops.
CHAINING: This is a great way to pop several bubbles at once (but it's only
available in certain levels or if you trap them close together). If you have a
congregation of bubbles, pop one in the middle and they'll all pop!
===========
3 - Items
===========
TREATS
The first items are the treats. Treats are the little foodstuffs that come
after you destroy an enemy, i.e., bananas, ice cream, etc.
-Treat Scores
Grapes 40
Shakes 60
Candy Sticks 70
Coffee 80
Strawberries 90
Peppers 100
Lemons 200
Shish-Kabobs 400
Oranges 500
DOORS
You will see these after you destroy all of the enemies in a level sometimes.
When you get it, you will go to a different level than the one you would
normally go on to. After that level, you continue on your normal path. For
example, if I got a door in level 12, I would go to another level (different
than 13). After that, I would go right onto 14. Get it? Good.
SPECIAL BUBBLES
These bubbles will appear from the bottom on certain levels. There are X
different kind of bubbles.
-LIGHTNING BUBBLES
When you pop these bubbles, a bolt of lightning will shoot out in the opposite
direction you are facing. They will destroy any enemy in their path.
-WATER BUBBLES
These bubbles will take you down on a quick ride until you go through the
bottom and back out the top. They will take out any enemies in their path.
- FIRE BUBBLES
If these get popped, they will drop a small drop of fire. When that drop hits
the ground, a row of flames will ignite, killing every enemy that touches it.
================
4 - Characters
================
YOU
_Bub_
It's either Bub or Bob. No matter. Whoever you are, you are the one who is
playing as yourself...I guess. You must beat EVERY level and get the "Moon
Water" for your brother.
ENEMIES (I don't know the names so these are just for reference!)
_Robots_
These little turds walk around aimlessly. They will occasionally jump to
another platform, but usually just fall back down again. They are easily
trapped.
_Whales_
These whale things fly around like a bouncy ball. They can be difficult to
capture, so use your timing as best as you can.
_Springs_
It's just what the name implies. They bounce...forever. Watch their jumps
and don't get them mad. Try to catch them while they're falling.
_Wizards_
This Mage-guy shoots little Saturns left and right. You'll have to wait for
him to shoot and them nab him.
_Scots_
These are the little Irish guys that shoot tennis rackets at you. Very
interesting.
_Flyers_
These superman wanna-be's just fly around aimlessly. Can be annoying.
_Fuzzys_
These Sasquatch impersonators run around doing about nothing. They smell bad,
too...I think.
_Aliens_
This guy is a triangle-ish alien thing that just goes back and forth and
falls. Watch it, though. He shoots lasers downward.
BOSSES
_Grape_
This guy is the first boss. He is pretty easy. Just watch where he is
bouncing (he goes through the platforms) and hit him with bubbles. It takes
about 18 bubbles to kill him.
_Choco_
This is your second boss. Be careful, because when a bubble hits him, it
bounces back as a fireball. They still hurt him, though. Just keep on him. It
takes XX bubbles to kill him.
==========================
5 - Menus/Password Entry
==========================
This game isn't much for menus. When you start, you get 2 choices: Start, or
Password. Select Start to begin the game (duh). Choose password to enter a
password.
PASSWORDS
Here you get to enter a password. You can select from the letters B, C, D, E,
F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z, 1, 3, 4, or 5. Press A to
select a letter and B to go back. Hit start when you're done. If you entered a
valid password, it will say "OK!" If not, it will say "ERROR!" Passwords are
listed in section 7.
===========================
6 - Complete Walkthrough!
===========================
OK, here's the long part. I have just listed it in order of level (with
bosses incorporated). Good luck and happy bubbling!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*Level 1*
This one's easy. Just sit in the middle on the bottom floor and wait for the
robots to come to you. Get them all embubbled and then go to the top and pop
'em all. NOTE: There is a door in this level on the second floor in the middle.
*Level 2*
Go up to the second floor in the middle and get the robots. Now wait for the
whales to come (they will). Don't forget to get the E bubble on the right side
at the start.
*Level 3*
Your best option on this level is to get on the bottom floor in the middle and
wait for the robots. Now go to the platform above you and wait for the whales.
*Level 4*
When you start, just wait for the enemies to come to you. After the first few
are bubbled, go to the left side and get the X bubble. Now go to the middle of
the screen and go whale hunting. Try to get the rest of the whales bubbled
before you pop any. Otherwise, one will get mad and go really fast.
*Level 5*
At first, stay put. Get the first whale and then move to the middle. Now hit
the water bubble and go all the way down ad get almost all if not all of the
enemies.
*Level 6*
First get the 2 springs next to you. Now get the whales. This one is tricky
because sometimes the bubbles get in awkward places and are hard to pop.
*Level 7*
You have to fast for this one. See your starting point? The enemies will get
in there if you don't hurry. Get all the enemies before they get in the little
caves (they're on both sides). It's very hard to know when to drop if they get
in there. Also don't forget to get the T at the start.
*Level 8*
You need to use the lightning bubbles in this level. There are flyers here so
wait for them to come up from the bottom and nail 'em. Then watch for the
wizards (they will be falling).
*Level 9*
This level is pretty easy. Drop through the bottom and stay on the highest
floor. Every enemy will drop eventually, so just wait. Also get the D bubble.
*Level 10*
This one is also fairly easy. Drop down and land on the next floor. Just
wait for the enemies. They will all drop to the side of you.
*Level 11*
This one's kinda tricky. Drop down the hole but keep to the right. You will
pass a flyer and land on a ledge above 2 wizards. Get the wizards and then wait
for the flyers. Then go down a floor and get the 2 wizards in separate caves.
*Level 12*
When you start, hop on the lightning bubble and wait in the middle for the
first few enemies. Now go after the last 2-3. Just make sure you pop your
bubbles because they are hard to chase down.
*Level 13*
This one isn't very hard. Just jump to the middle and wait. (But don't forget
your E bubble).
*Level 14*
This level is kind of annoying. Shoot a bubble from your starting point when
it looks safe to go into the springs cave. Get those guys, then move up to the
scots on the top row.
*Level 15*
First go up and get the flyers. Then drop down, keeping left or right, and
you will land on a small ledge. From here, you can get all of the scots. Don't
forget the N bubble. (There is a door here).
*Level 16*
Just get a ride on the water bubble to kill all but 1 robot on the left side.
Go over and get him (use your timing).
*Level 17 - BOSS*
This guy will bounce around like a normal whale. Hit him about 9 times to
make him mad. Then hit him 9 or so more times to kill him.
*Level 18*
First go chasing the flyers. Then go up to the top floor and get the springs.
Don't for get the E bubble.
*Level 19*
Hop on a bubble up to the top and get the wizards. Now get the whales. (you
might have to chase them).
*Level 20*
Ok, watch for flyers and go get the 3 wizards up top. Hop in each compartment
and get them from behind. Now chase down the flyers.
*Level 21*
This one's kinda tricky. Drop down and get on the highest middle floor. Now
wait for the robots. After they have been bubbled, jump over and get the
aliens. Now wait for the bubbles to come back up and pop 'em!
*Level 22*
Jump over to the middle platform and wait for the enemies to come to you.
It's pretty easy. Just don't forget to pop your bubbles and to get the X
bubble.
*Level 23*
Jump over to the right hole and wait for the robots. Then jump up and get the
fuzzys. Now go to the top and get the last fuzzy.
*Level 24*
OK, this is tricky. Get over to the middle and wait for the aliens, but when
you put them in a bubble, pop them immediately. Otherwise, you won't get them
before they get mad. Now chase the flyers and pop them as soon as you can.
Also don't forget to pop the T bubble.
*Level 25*
Jump straight up to the spring cave above you and get the spring. Now hop up
and get the scot. Now pop a water bubble above the middle cave to get the
springs in there. Now get the guys on the right.
*Level 26*
First jump up and get the whales. Now watch for the wizard who will come
down. Go right and get your D bubble and then go right and get the other 2
wizards.
*Level 27*
Jump up and right quickly and get the first whale. Now wait for the second
one. Then fall until you reach the wizards. Get those 3 and then chase the
last whale.
*Level 28*
First drop down and get the first flyer. Now wait about 3-4 seconds and drop
in to the wizard cave. Now get the other flyer. Sounds easy, but this level
kinda sucks.
*Level 29*
Wait for the first whale, then wait some more for the robot. Now go up and
get the next 2 whales. Now drop down and get the timer. It will stop all enemy
movement for a few seconds or until you die. Now go and get the last whale.
Now go opposite of where you started and get the last robot.
*Level 30*
First jump up and right to get the first 2 wizards. Now continue right and
jump up to get another wizard. Now chase the 2 whales. Now go to the far left
and get the last wizard.
*Level 31*
Jump up and get the first whale. Now go up and get the 4 scots (they're not
that hard). Now get the last whale.
*Level 32*
This level is easy if you're fast. Just jump up to the spring cave and get
the springs. Then wait for the robots. That's it. Also don't forget the N.
*Level 33*
On this one, jump up and get the first fuzzy. Now jump and get the scots.
Now go back down and get the last fuzzy.
*Level 34 - BOSS*
This guy will bounce around like Grape, but the bubbles will make him shoot a
fireball at you. Just fire, then jump. It takes 9 hits to make him mad, and
then 9 more to kill him.
*Level 35*
At first, just wait until the E comes. Then go up and get the whales. Now
head up and get the wizards.
*Level 36*
Wait for the spring and get him. Then go to the middle and get the flyer and
the spring.
