Bubble Bobble Part 2, known in Japan as Bubble Bobble 2 is a game in the Bubble Bobble series. While it was never released in the arcade, two versions of the game were developed independently from each other (for the NES and Game Boy systems), with each game receiving a different story line as a result. The Game Boy version is known in Japan as Bubble Bobble Junior.

As seen in the game intro, Bub, and a girl named Judy, were sitting in a park.  Suddenly, a floating skull character, who is one of the Skull Brothers, captures Judy into a bubble, and sends her and Bub into the air. Two characters named Drunk (from the original Bubble Bobble) follow the skull and take Judy away. Bub turns (or is turned) into a bubble dragon and heads off to rescue his girlfriend.

There is also a two-player mode, implying that Bob has suffered the same events as Bub had, but the manual states that Judy is a friend of both. In the Game Boy version, a character named Robby has to rescue people from a village, who, according to this version’s intro, have been captured by a skull character.

The gameplay remains largely unchanged from the other games in the series, but the player has the ability to float upward to higher platforms and over walls by holding down the B button. In the NES release, unlike the original Bubble Bobble and many other games in the series, the 2-player mode has players take turns across levels, rather than cooperatively play through them simultaneously.
