In the 100 th level players face Super Drunk in a boss battle to complete the game and successfully rescue their girlfriends.

Once the bubble is popped the enemy is turned into bonus items which can be collected after they land on the ground. In each level players must defeat each enemy by trapping them in bubbles then popping the bubble with the trapped enemy. In order to transform back into humans and rescue their girlfriends Bub and Bob must enter the mysterious cave of monsters and complete all 100 levels. Super Drunk has kidnapped the brotherвЂ™s girlfriends and turned them into dragons. The game places players in control of brothers Bub and Bob who have been transformed into dragons. While building the gameвЂ™s core mechanics he decided to use bubbles as the primary method to defeat enemies believing that bubbles would be a fun element that girls would enjoy. With this in mind he decided to make the game heavily focused on its two-player co-operative mode. Looking to expand their demographic appeal he wanted his game to appeal to women, specifically couples that visited arcades.

He wanted to design a new style game that would be fun to play and also rejuvenate the companyвЂ™s presence in the industry. Mitsuji felt that TaitoвЂ™s recent arcade games were lacking when compared to other developersвЂ™ games such as Namco. The game was designed by newly hired Fukio Mitsuji when he joined Taito in 1986. Released in September 1986 Taito handled the Japanese distribution of the arcade cabinets while licensing the title to Romstar for North American distribution and Electrocoin for European distribution. Bubble Bobble is an arcade action platform video game developed and published by Taito.
