Bubble Bobble (GG)
Graphics-7.5 Sound-7.5 Control-7 Challenge-8.5 Story-5
Level Design-8 Frustration-8 Fun-9 (8.5) Originality-7
Overall Score-8.5
+ Very long (200 stages, 100 more than in the original game though some levels only change enemy placements while using old layouts), bonus levels and secrets, fun power ups and mechanics (bounce on bubbles, speed shoes, fire shot, level warp, etc.), two player co-op (via link cable)
+/- Faster default speed than on SMS, smaller stages (adapted to the GG screen size), more generous with power ups than on SMS?
- Repetitive, music restarts between levels, sprite flicker, some slowdown (co-op), slow falling speed in mid-air
