Bubble Bobble Old and New is a platformer for the Game Boy Advance that revisits the arcade classic Bubble Bobble. Players control cute baby dinosaurs navigating through over 100 levels filled with vibrant graphics and engaging gameplay. The objective is to trap enemies in bubbles and pop them to clear stages, ultimately aiming to rescue a captured character. Drawing inspiration from its sequel, Rainbow Islands, the game combines nostalgic elements with new features.
No one has ever been able to say just why Bubble Bobble is so much fun, but its mixture of cute baby dinosaurs, candy, and bubbles should give those new to the game an idea. Battle your way through over 100 levels of frantic bubble mayhem. Capture your enemies in bubbles then pop them with your spiky back to clear each stage. Find your way to the bottom of the 100-level cave and save a damsel in distress. Fortunately, if you've never experienced the glee for yourself, all of those elements are back in force in Bubble Bobble Old & New for Game Boy Advance. The game closely follows the original Bubble Bobble arcade classic, but splices together two gaming generations while employing the same graphics and gameplay structure as the original. It also took inspiration from the sequel, Rainbow Islands released in 1989.
