Rainbow Islands: Story of the Bubble Bobble 2 Play Online

Summary

The European and Australian Master System version of Rainbow Islands (often just called Rainbow Islands) suffers from a notorious crash: after completing Level 7 the game abruptly returns to the title screen, and even if you jump straight to Level 8 via the select code the same glitch ends the stage, cutting off the ending entirely. Fortunately the Brazilian release patched the problem, so players there can experience the full run without the sudden reset.

In this platformer each island slowly sinks, forcing you to race upward while laying down solid rainbows that double as stepping stones and weapons. The rainbows can be tossed to knock out foes, scoop up items, and even create a damaging field when they fall. Power‑ups boost your speed, rainbow frequency, and even grant permanent upgrades if you collect the hidden diamonds in the right order, while the ever‑rising water adds a tense timer to every climb.

Storyline

After the events of Bubble Bobble, the heroes Bubby and Bobby – the human forms of the original bubble dragons Bubblun and Bobblun – embark on a new quest in Rainbow Islands: Story of the Bubble Bobble 2 (often just called Rainbow Islands). Their mission is to defeat the Dark Shadow, the evil Boss of Shadow who turned the island’s inhabitants into bubble dragons.

To free the residents they must explore ten colorful Rainbow Islands, gathering the large gems and mirrors that lie on each stage. Once all the items are collected, they confront the Dark Shadow and defeat him, restoring the islanders to their normal selves.
