This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Thirty-three years after the first game, they're still Bubblin' and Bobblin'.

To do: Check if there's any other unused graphics and animations. Regional differences.

Unused Animations

Player Pushed

• 

  PushedBack

• 

  PushedDwn

• 

  PushedFront

• 

  PushedTop

Collision between players may have been planned at some point. It was likely cut due to some levels being claustrophobic, which wouldn't go well with 4 players. All that remains are these animations.

Object Pushing

• 

  pushLoop

The player walking with their arms up. It seems that there were plans for objects to be pushed around.

Death inside Bubble

• 

  deathBubble

• 

  deathBubbleLoop

These two animations would have played during the game over sequence. It was probably cut for being slightly creepy.

Unused Graphics

An early logo of "Bubble Bobble Quartet".
