I think it's really cool that each game connects in some way! I was a huge fan of how Puzzle Bobble Everybubble brought something back from almost every generation of the series. ^^
I remember one day I spoke with my friend about the games and he said and I quote "I didn't know a threatening bubble story would have lore". I love this series so much. Thanks for the explanation. :)
So, let me summarize it: - Bubble Bobble was the first title ever. - Rainbow Islands continue the story of the original Bub and Bob after the first title. - Parasol Stars and Bubble Memories are both a continuation of Rainbow Islands, and those two stories might be happening either in parallel timelines or during the same time period. - Bubble Symphony continues the timeline with Bub and Bob's grandchildren - From Puzzle Bubble Journey to Everybubble, they again were transformed into dragons and continued to their journey. - The other Bubble Bobble II (apart from Bubble Symphony) happened 100 years after Rainbow Islands and features two different characters from the original ones. - The rest of the Puzzle Bobble games including Bub's March happened on a different timeline. - Bubble Bobble 4 Friends happened within a child's room and doesn't affect anything in regards to the main Rainbow Island timeline.
When they tell you the bubble bobble lore isn't that deep, show them this video. I wish we could get a game that combines the gameplay of the original Bubble bobble, Rainbow island and Parasol stars 🫧🌈☂️🐲
This video explains the timeline perfectly, I had been curious about the timeline for a long time and now we have an official answer through a video. Thank You Bub & Taito
Amazing. I love the reference to Rainbow Islands Extra ending. This video is made of love and respect for the saga. Thank you! Can't wait for the next installments. Bubble Bobble Jr for Game Boy - please tell me more about that:D
どらんくがいつも宿敵というわけではないのですね。私が今まで真剣に遊んだのはパズルボブル3だけなので、この動画は大変興味深く拝見しました。パラソルスターは本当に面白そうで、海外では最新ハードに移植されますが、日本では移植されないのでしょうか?? I learned that Bonner isn't always the nemesis in the series. The only game I've played seriously is Puzzle Bobble 3 / Bust-A-Move 3, so I watched this video with great interest. Parasol Star looks really fun. It will be ported to the latest hardware overseas, but will it not be ported in Japan?
All of Those seem to be the Finest Additions to My Collection, so I was the Main Character before... Wait, We TWO are Bubbldos? Also, I was Born when I intentionally Created my own Game, titled "Bubble Bobble" and then dated to be June, Day Sixteen, Year 1,986 And I just Started the Bubble Shooter Game Legacy, titled "Bust-a-Move" EIGHT Years later, to be Also (#2) dated to be November, Day Four, Year 1,994 I have to Go Back to the Past, and Continuously Play a lot of Bubble Bobble (and even Bust-a-Move) Experiences... and then Climbing Up the Timeline Stairs, closer to the Future.
