Bubble bobble rainbow island series#
Only the first character and one other character of the codes are shown, and the other character is determined by something that players must determine through a series of complicated hints (see the Secrets page for more information). The secret rooms are still present, but the codes they provide are incomplete. In addition, the bosses were made more difficult by adding more variety to their behavior. Bubble Island remains the same as in the original version.Doh Island enemies (and sound effects) on Toy Island.Dragon Island enemies on Monster Island.Magical Island enemies (and music) on Combat Island.Darius Island enemies (and music) on Insect Island.The order in which you encounter the enemies is as follows: While layouts of the islands remain exactly the same as in the original version, they are occupied by a set of enemies from a different island. Rainbow Islands Extra is a modified version of Rainbow Islands the game is exactly the same except the stages' enemies and bosses appear in a different order (much like Bubble Bobble's Super Mode). The scoring system also has secrets, which allow vastly higher scores to be achieved than normal. Because of these elements, completing the game properly requires a large amount of dedication from the player. While initially appearing to be quite a simple game, Rainbow Islands in fact has a vast number of secrets for the player to discover, including secret levels, secret power-ups and riddles. One of the features which sets this game apart from many others (and has no doubt been responsible for the game's popularity) is its 'hidden depths'. If players take too long in a level, water will start to rise up from the bottom of the stage. Collecting power-ups increases the player's speed, the speed of the rainbows and how many are spawned. By jumping on them, they fall down beating any enemies below it. Players can release rainbows that act as both weapons against the enemies and as a makeshift platform. Most consumer versions of the game completely lack the secret islands. After collecting the small diamonds, a word "NICE" will appear. The small diamonds are found by beating enemies by dropping a rainbow on them from above or beating them with various power-ups.
To get a big diamond, the player must collect seven different-coloured small diamonds on the island and finish it. The three secret islands are not visible until all 7 big diamonds are collected. These are depicted on a map screen before the start of each island. The islands get progressively more difficult, with enemies moving much faster on the later ones. In each round the player must get to the top before the sea level rises and kills them. Each island provides four rounds of gameplay, and once these are complete the player moves to the next island in the chain. The game is set on a chain of ten islands, each one with a different theme. Also unlike the first game, players must now "alternate" (i.e., take turns), with player one as Bubby (green shirt), and player 2 as Bobby (blue shirt) (as with the first game). However, in this game they appear in their human forms as "Bubby" and "Bobby", as opposed to the "bubble dragons" of the first game (following on from the first game's true ending). The main characters are Bubblun and Bobblun, the protagonists of Bubble Bobble (known as "Bub and Bob" in the western releases).
The game was ported for numerous home computers and consoles. It is the second of four arcade games in the Bubble Bobble series (followed by Bubble Symphony and Bubble Memories, but itself has two direct sequels: Parasol Stars and Bubble Bobble Part 2). The game is subtitled "The Story of Bubble Bobble 2" and is the sequel to Taito's hit game Bubble Bobble from the previous year. Rainbow Islands ( レインボーアイランド, Rainbow Islands ?) is a 1987 arcade game developed and published by Taito.
