BBM is a complete overhaul of original Bubble Bobble, with much, much harder stages and some neat graphics and palette changes. Note that it is possible to beat the first 15 levels without a continue, not really that hard, hehe.
All levels have been hacked. Enemy Graphics have been given a facelift or totally changed. Graphics for just about everything else has been edited.

Story: The cave of monsters has been taken over by a new enemy force. Bub and Bob must once again journey through
the reshapen cave, fighting numerous beats as they go. Will they be able to do it before going mad from the power of this
army?
**********************
This is a hack for the NES version of Bubble Bobble. It edits levels, graphics, and some other little things. I designed this
to be a hack to be quite difficult in some areas. Especially later in the game. Unless you are very skilled in this game, you
will find getting through the first 15 levels (initial release) to be a challenge. I, myself, used about 2 or 3 continues just on the
first 15 levels. All levels are possible.
Version 1.00
-All levels hacked. ALL of them
-Enemy Graphics have been given a facelift or totally changed.
-Graphics for just about everything else has been edited
**********************
Programs Used:
1. Bubbled by Klone Primary level editor. It edits levels, palettes, items, enemies... etc.
2. BubbleEd by Mega-Dog I used this editor mostly before Bubbled had item support. Very good program.
3. Bubblizer by Codemaster2000 The only useful thing this editor offered was starting lives editing.
4. Tile Layer by SnowBro The DOS version. I love this tile editor!
5. Tile Layer Pro by SnowBro The Win version. I used it to copy and paste some gfx and stuff.
6. Hexpose by SnowBro Hex editor. Used for editing palettes. Yay!
7. NES Pal ed. by The_Fake_God An NES palette editor. I searched for palettes with this baby!
8. BBLE by Blades Another level editor. I use this one for making sure I got all the blocks placed.

Enemy List
*Bubba White and orange walking toy
These guys can be an annoyance when they fall into pits. They usually come in groups.
*Wiz Red wizard that shoots fireballs
Wiz can jump over pits and throw fireballs at Bub and Bob.
*Bib Bub/Bob clone. Spits red bubbles
Bib is Bub and Bob's brother. He was rejected from the family for being mean. Now, he wants revenge!
*Bouncey Blue and white ball
Bouncey just bounces around the room in any direction.
*Gomer A green, fat little thing
Gomer is just a green blob that bounces up and down everywhere. They attack in numbers.
*Copter A flying saucer
Similar to Bouncey, Copters fly in sharper angles, waiting for Bub or Bob to get in their way.
*ZAPZAP A robot machine that drops bombs
ZAPZAPs just walk back and forth, dropping small missiles. Getting under them can be a challenge.
*Spitzo A white, blobby ghost that throws fireballs
Spitzo walks silently around, stopping occasionally to throw a boomerang fireball at our heros.
*Bloop? Weird, messed up data
Bloop? is a monster that was warped by radiation. It can impersonate any enemy, such as Spitzo or Gomer.
*Baron The Ghost that appears when time is short.
Baron is back from Bubble Bobble to attack Bub and Bob if they are too slow.
*Super Drunk The King of the Bad Guys
Super Drunk bashes around in his chamber, throwing fireballs. Hitting him with lightning can stop him.
