Plot
In the game's plot, "Baron Von Blubba" has kidnapped the brothers Bubby and Bobby's girlfriends, Patty and Betty and turned the brothers into Bubble Dragons, Bub and Bob. Bub and Bob have to finish 100 levels in the Cave of Monsters in order to rescue them.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Fun story. You take control of the dynamic dinosaur duo of Bub and Bob, a colorful pair of double dragons who are out to save their girlfriends. The ladies have been kidnapped and are being held hostage in the depths of the Cave of Monsters.
 * 2) You progress downward through the levels by beating each baddie in each one. This is accomplished by first trapping the foes in burped-up bubbles (which Bub and Bob produce from their mouths when you press the B Button), and then bursting those bubbles by jumping on them or running them into your dino's spiked backside. It's an interesting "Step 1, Step 2" mechanic that's similar in ways to the method for first flipping and then kicking enemies out of the action in the original Mario Brothers, but Bubble Bobble's bouncing bubbles offer much more depth than that.
 * 3) The game has decent graphics, for their time.
 * 4) There are additional treats hidden within this otherwise straightforward arcade port as well, like multiple different endings and hidden tricks that you can uncover with enough dedication and time.
 * 5) The gameplay involves lots of variety, including action, adventure, platforming, and puzzle.
 * 6) Great music composed by Tadashi Kimijima.
 * 7) The PlayStation and Saturn versions not only include updated graphics, but also include Rainbow Islands and its enchanted version.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) To see the good ending, you have to beat final boss in 2-player mode.
 * 2) The PlayStation and Saturn versions have very awful FMV opening, the cutscenes are cheesy and poorly rendered. (though the in-FMV music is good)

Reception
Mean Machines gave the Game Boy port of the game a score of 91%, noting that while some changes had been made, the game played identical to the original arcade port and "provides much addiction and challenge". The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly stated that the Game Gear version is a faithful conversion of the original which works well in portable form. They particularly praised the simplicity of the gameplay concept and the graphics, and the two-player link option.

The Spectrum version was voted number 58 in the Your Sinclair Readers' Top 100 Games of All Time. GamesRadarranked it the 24th best NES game ever made. The staff praised its advancements over other platform games of its time and its use of multiple endings.

Trivia

 * Taito, the creators of Bubble Bobble, announced in 1996 that they had actually lost the source code for the arcade version of Bubble Bobble. All of the various ports were reverse engineered from the arcade ROM and earlier computer and console conversions.
 * According to Fukio Mitsuji, the characters of Bub and Bob were made to get more female gamers into the arcade, which was very rare to see before then.
