Water Bubbles send a torrent of water down through the level, sweeping up enemies until it reaches the bottom. Thunder Bubbles send a lightning bolt flying horizontally across the screen, defeating all enemies in its path. Bub and Bob can activate these by popping them in the opposite direction they want the element to go.

The Skel-Monsta disappears after the player either defeats all the enemies or loses a life.Ĭertain levels contain Special Bubbles (Thunder, Water and Fire). If the stage is not cleared soon afterwards, an invincible enemy known as Skel-Monsta appears and pursues Bub and Bob. If the player takes too long to complete a level, a message appears on the screen that says 'Hurry Up!', and the enemies turn angry, which is indicated by them turning red and moving faster. After defeating all the enemies in a level, the player proceeds to the next stage. Bub and Bob can jump on bubbles to reach higher platforms which are unreachable by jumping normally.

The player can jump on platforms and blow bubbles to trap enemies inside, which Bub and Bob can pop to defeat the trapped enemies, leaving behind collectible items which are worth points. Each player controls one of the two dragons, Bub and Bob.
