It is based on Taito's popular 1986 arcade game Bubble Bobble, featuring characters and themes from that game.

Puzzle Bobble was originally released in Japan only in June 1994 by Taito Corporation, running on Taito's B System hardware ( with the preliminary title " Bubble Buster ").

( These are actually referred to in the translation as " balls "; however, they were clearly intended to be bubbles, since they pop, and are taken from Bubble Bobble.

The characters and theme of the game are based on the 1986 platform arcade game Bubble Bobble.

A remix of the original Bubble Bobble music is played in the game's end credits.

Their graphics and animation are based directly on the original Bubble Bobble, only larger ( very similar to Bubble Symphony which was released less than a month later ).

Less obvious is the fact that Puzzle Bobble also features all the enemies from Bubble Bobble, which are trapped inside the bubbles and fly out when the bubbles pop.

The popularity of Bubble Bobble led Taito ( or its licensees ) to port to many home computers and video game consoles.

Sega converted Bubble Bobble for the Master System ( although this version was not released in North America ).

As Probe Entertainment was in charge of the home conversions, Taito sent them a Bubble Bobble arcade PCB so they could play the original game and reproduce its mechanics.

This led to the release of Bubble Bobble also featuring Rainbow Islands for Saturn, PlayStation and PC ( MS-DOS ) in 1996.

The original Game Boy and Game Boy Color versions have a Moon Water storyline, and are known as Bubble Bobble, and Classic Bubble Bobble respectively.

On December 31, 2007, the NES version of Bubble Bobble was released on Nintendo's Virtual Console service for the Wii.

Bubble Bobble inspired many sequels, including:

* Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2 ( 1987 )

* Bubble Bobble II ( World ) / Bubble Symphony ( Europe, Japan, U. S .) ( 1994 Arcade, Sega Saturn ( Japan only ))

* Bubble Memories-The Story of Bubble Bobble III ( 1995 Arcade )
