Classic mode

If any of the codes above are entered correctly, a sound should play.
In this mode, background graphics will be removed and music from the original Bubble Bobble will play, loosely simulating the look of the 1986 original. Also, the three codes are the same as the codes used to activate secret modes in the arcade original.
Human mode

More options

High score name easter egg
