Rainbow Islands 74,009,330 Pts All Clear By Essekappa 1/7

[MrFunmike1987]

I have this in mame 32. This game would have looked really good on terbo graphx 16 and would have increased sails on that in the us and pc engine in Japan.

The version on Taito Legends has the main theme's lead melody deleted because it sounds similar to "Over The Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz" movie.

[TheTukTuk2008]

Tutti frutti!

[kdreamland]

How about Rainbow Islands Enhanced from the Sega Saturn? No one has a walkthrough for that yet.....

[streeTkiDwannaBe]

I never knew this was the sequel to bubble bobble. Cool stuff.

[cuccenzo]

insieme a wonder boy in monster land uno dei videogiochi piu belli degli anni 80'

[lasfemo]

Que loco, me hizo acordar de muchas cosas de mi infancia, que juego tan bonito

[BlueKai]

um....Double Rainbow?

[TBologney]

You get 1000 pts. just for landing from a jump? Video games give so many points!

[Tossphate]

@TBologney only with the special ring. Theres also a ring that gives you points just for walking. You can see this used during island 1

[cloudeleven]

This game is so COLORFUL. It's one of my favorite arcade games.

[eukokhey]

hey, u have an excellent play for rainbow island=]

where can I download the game? can I play it in computer?

[vinylmixer79]

its on taito legends for xbox or ps2,i just purchased it on ebay not long ago,its a classic.

[mintsauce82]

Incredible play - I thought I was pretty decent at RI until I saw this!

[3vil9rin]

Awesome run, and insane skills. I'm aiming to do this myself and appreciate the toughness.

By the way, at 0.19 you can see you've entered the score cheat... ;)

[ArcadeExtreme]

Can you please explain? With more info on this cheat I will ask about it to the author of this run (essekappa). Thanks!

[romirina]

@ArcadeExtreme it is not a *real* cheat: it was coded in the original cabinet as well (like power up in bubblebobble) and allows to score more than 10m points

[ArcadeExtreme]

Thanks Romirina (aka sk, eheh)!

[ms3bani]

@ArcadeExtreme

it's still a cheat XD

[fuzzymoochicken]

Getting the gems in the correct order is driving me crazy. Waiting for the correct gem to show up is like waiting on a blue moon.

[squallyukishin]

this game pisses me off cause im really bad at it

[daetherius0]

"10,0000" pts for the big Diamond? WTF?

[Binkysuperstar]

pretty catchy theme for level 1

[SeventhSun]

How could it be dudes? You're not Asians LOL

[djkeric]

These Sounds are bad compared with the amiga version...

[timosebi2]

Your good

[Syntox]

Looks like such fun - I will be grabbing this ROM this evening, I do believe, By Jingo!

[romirina]

arcade (on mame emulator)

[rashasmiles]

I married him! :-) he he he

[knasbollicus]

What console version is closest to the arcade version?

I remember playing this at some friends house, back in the early '90 and it had gorgeous graphics. But I can't figure out what home system it was for... All I remember is that the diamonds in the middle and bosses were as colorful as shown here.

Could someone who's familiar with the different versions help me out. I'm thinking maybe Genesis or Turbografx-16?

[ZeroCD32]

There are Mega Drive and PC Engine versions, but neither was released outside Japan. There was also a Master System version that I think was only released in PAL regions (maybe Japan too, but not North America).

The NES and SMS versions play well, but the graphics aren't as good.

There's a PlayStation/Saturn version of Bubble Bobble that also included Rainbow Islands though.

[jarv156]

Your best bet is with the Saturn/PlayStation version, they seem to be identical to the original, but I don't know if they contain island 8, 9 and 10.

[rayadhd]

Pc engine (aka Turbographx for wankers) version is just great, as well as the Megadrive (Genesis for wankers) version!!!!!

[deibamaikawideiba]

Very nice score.

Do you have any mame imps or videos about Rainbow Islands Extra version?

I tried to watch those on MARP but they all go out of sync at some point :(

[ArcadeExtreme]

Hi! I think that all Essekappa inps are on MARP, but you could try to ask him about this on our forum (feel free to post in english!). :)

[romirina]

unfortunately you can watch that inp only with dmame0.59 under win98 os, no way you can see it under xp or vista

[akdisorder]

very nice run. God how I miss this... And holy hell how cute those little green helicopters are :D

[WizzardOfGlue]

[ArcadeExtreme]
