This game is known in US as "Bust-A-Move Again". This game runs on the Taito F3 System hardware but it was re-released (licensed to SNK) on the SNK Neo-geo MVS hardware in 1999 as "Puzzle Bobble 2 [MVS]". If you look closely at the bubbles, you'll notice that the enemies from "Bubble Bobble" are trapped inside; a different enemy for each different colored bubble. The following chart shows which enemies are trapped in which color bubble : Legend : Color of Bubble => "Bubble Bobble" Enemy Inside Blue => Zen-Chan Yellow => Pulpul Red => Invader Green => Drunk Purple => Monsta Orange => Banebou Black => Hidegonsu White => Mighta On the last level, you will see characters from "Bubble Bobble" & "Rainbow Islands". The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'AAA'. Stepehn Krogman holds the official records for this game with 75,275,450 points (factory setting). Zuntata Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Puzzle Bobble Variety - ZTTL-0009) on 28/03/1997. - SCORING - Pop a bubble : 10 points. Drop bubbles : the first bubble is 20, and each additional bubble scores double. Thus : bubbles dropped score 1 20 2 40 3 80 4 160 5 320 6 640 7 1280 8 2560 9 5120 10 10240 11 20480 12 40960 13 81920 14 163840 15 327680 16 655360 17 or more 1310720 Unlike Puzzle Bobble, there is a way to get more than 1.31 million points. It's possible to get 2621440, 5242880, or even 10485760 points! To do this : * You need 17 or more bubbles. * One of these bubbles must touch exactly one bubble of a group of similarly colored bubbles. * The bubble that pops the similarly colored group of bubbles must not touch the group of 17 or more bubbles.
