- TIPS & TRICKS:
*General tips*
Your airplane doesn't lose energy when it collides with cliffwalls, buildings etc. Instead it will rotate a bit after
such collisions. That means you can tumble up and down these obstacles (keep on colliding), and if you keep shooting,
your shots will go in all directions. This way you can clear up a lot of enemies when you are under pressure.

- SCORING:
Bursting a bubble: 10 points
Killing one monster: 1, 000 points
Killing two monsters at once: 2, 000 points
Killing three monsters at once: 4, 000 points
Points double for each extra monster killed at any one time
Normal Fruit: 700 points
Bonus Score Items (popcorn, burger etc): 500 - 4, 000 points.
- TIPS & TRICKS:
*Unlimited run and rapid fire*
At the main title screen enter: Left, Jump, Left, Start, Left, Fire, Left, Up, Start. If this is done correctly there
will be a message in the bottom left corner of the title screen a red "POWER UP!".
*Original Bubble Bobble*
At the title screen press: Shoot, Jump, Shoot, Jump, Shoot, Jump, Right, Start buttons for player one. It will say at
the bottom of screen: ORIGINAL GAME. The game will give the PORTALS in some screens, if you can get in them you will
get LOADS of diamonds.
After getting a high score, enter your initials as S.E.X. Start the next game as normal. The second
item on the first level will be a pitchfork. Getting this item without bubbling the bad guys will get you mucho
points.
Make it to level 20 without dying, and a door appears it leads to a 'secret tomb', a level full of
diamonds. There are secret tombs at levels 20 and 30, also. Make it to level 50 without dying, and a strange, beehive
shaped door appears; enter it and you warp to level 70. DON'T kill the drunks on level 50, or the door disappears;
bubble them and wait! BTW, With two players, only one of the players must survive unharmed to get the secret door.
*Special item: the bell*
If taken, a flash and a 'bell' sound will go off at the beginning of any level that will have some sort of destructive
magic.
*Paffing a Skel*
Skel is that nasty white monster that comes after you when you've taken too long; with two players, two Skels will
appear. If one player is killed by 'his' Skel, then he can collide with his partner's Skel *WHILE HE IS STILL
FLICKERING.* If the player's icon is still flickering, the other player's Skel will disappear (poof!), with no harm to
the once-slain character.
*The Trick*
At the end of a level, sometimes all of the bubbles on the screen will inexplicably turn into food (even if there was
no candy cane on that level). If the tens and hundreds digits of either player's score match when the last monster of
a level is popped, then the bubbles will turn into food! Ex: scores of 110, 220 330, 440, 550, 660, 770, 880, 990 or
000 will produce 'the trick.' Kill everything in a level, and as one player moves to pop the last monster, the other
player will 'get the trick' by blowing bubbles against a wall until the score is correct. Notice that you _do_ get the
points for popping the last monster, so if you're by yourself, you have to work your score so that the tens and
hundreds digits will match _after_ the points for the last monster are added....
*'Blowing yourself through'*
It is possible (though quite difficult) to bounce on a bubble at the top of the screen and ride it 'through' the top,
so that you emerge at the bottom of the screen.
*The "Super Bubble Bobble" Code*:
There's another secret code you can enter via Joystick/buttons in the BUBBLE BOBBLE screen in the attract mode, and it
goes like this: 1P, Jump, Fire, Left, Right, Jump, 1P, Right This will change the Bubble Bobble logo in "Super
Bubble Bobble", and the game will change under several points of view: different platform colors, different order
for monster appearances... The most important change is that this is the ONLY way to see the REAL ending of the game
(and you'll need also to kill the final baddie in a 2P play, 'cause the game wants to promote the "power of
friendship"... see below). If the *super* trick is performed on the original version of Bubble Bobble, the game
lets you choose at the very start between "normal" and "super" game, while the bootlegs don't. The
"Super Bobble Bobble" bootleg is a hacked version which has the SBB code always activated.
*The Bubble Bobble Alphabet*
Treasure rooms feature a sign with strange symbols on it. You can translate them by using the first line of symbols,
which stands for the letters of the English alphabet in the right order (ABCDE...). Here are the translated
messages:
Level 20 Door: "If you want to become the old figure, use the power of your friendship and fight with me!"
Level 30 Door: "If you want to get back your love of truth, you must help each other untill the last...."
Level 40 Door: "I enclose here these magical medicine, because those are my worst fears!"
These are hints to find the right way of completing the game. Note that Taito used this weird alphabet also in Rainbow
Islands, Bubble Symphony, Puzzle Bobble 2 and maybe in other obscure Japanese-only games.
*Treasure Room in round 1*
If you experience a Game Over in a Treasure room (you have to wait until a weird monster comes and kills you), the
game will say that you've reached Round 102, attract mode will show only treasure rooms and, by starting again, Round
1 will be a Treasure Room!
*Other High Score Codes*
MTJ, HED, OTO, PAN, NSO, KIM, YSH, KTU, SAK, TOP, RYO, SKE, SAN are other codes which have some effect on the game
(note that they're the programmers' nicknames).
*The Secret Of The Potions*
Potions are those bottles of joy that you collect destroying all the enemies and filling up the screen with rainbows,
clovers, etc to collect. Potions seem to appear randomly - not so. To set up a potion you need to be on a level with a
hole in the floor. Fall through the floor 16 times. The next stage you will be almost certain to get a potion. By
deliberately ending the game before the next stage, the next person playing will get a potion on stage 1 - a virtually
unheard of event!
The precise rules are more complicated, relying on wrapping several priority based game counters used in the game code
to record events like bubbles blown by each player, number of times jumped, etc. Several other items etc can be made to
appear by utilising the game counters.
If one players game ends in a 2P game with a high score it will be registered on the high score list
as CNT at the end of the game.

straight across (so it's quite wide and HEAVY). The monitors are mounted with two of them facing upwards and the other
facing the player. A half-reflecting mirror is used to align the images with an inch or two of overlap. Two versions
of this game were made: The more common three screen version (like the original Darius), and a harder to find two
