NES Bubble Bobble ending (bad ending)

[loneshewolf74]

You can get the good ending to the game if you have a second controller and at least one extra life remaining on the final stage. When you finally seal the boss in a bubble, use your extra life to bring player two onto the screen by pausing on controller 1 and then pressing one of the buttons (I don't remember which) on controller 2. The second P2 appears on the screen quickly run and kill the boss and you should get the good ending. :)

[TheVecan]

I would've wimpered, "but i have no friends"

I was a lonely child

[thelurker25]

this bubble bobble ending sounds like a muse song

[TheClodfather]

that's a pretty fucked up ending D:

[NWpowerhouse85]

This music is fucking creepy

[feelingEnjoy]

EVERYONE DIED BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS.

[Theclassicgameman]

but as avgn said. who gives a shit you beat the game so fuck you

[Theclassicgameman]

lol thats just freaking hell. I'm gonna get this game soon. time to get another controller

[KirbyY15]

that music gives me the creeps

[Mr8bitgamer]

wow that kind a sucks just beated the whole game and than youre friends disepear?! wow

[dtnc21]

But why? Is it because just you alone isn't enough to defeat the final boss?

[TheSplicer83]

And why do games like this have to add scary and chilling music to the bad ending it's not that terrible of a end just your friend wasn't with you

[Davtwan]

@TheSplicer83 In the arcade, only one girl would be free if the game was beaten with one player. Because of this, the main hero doesn't change back from his draconic form and that poor girl is left up there in a bubble.

If that isn't a bad ending, then I don't know what is.

[TheSplicer83]

@Davtwan still it sounds pretty dumb but I guess this game was trying to promote friendship and what better way to do it by disturbing them with scary music and trapping the character in eternal darkness as a dragon just because you didn't have your friend with you, ideas FTW XD

[TheSplicer83]

It's a bad ending why? Just because your friend wasn't with you on the journey that's kinda retarded the game should be happy because you didn't need a friend to beat it so bite me bubble bobble

[lukkelose]

lol gay :D

[DuskoftheTwilight]

Why bother having a 1P mode if you can only get this ending in it? It boggles the mind.

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

Damn you, game! I have no friends! Damn youuuuu!

[Bloxy123]

(Gets bad ending) ...Friends...Well thanks a whole damn lot for reminding me about my nonexistent friends! >.<

[camwoodstock]

I got the bad ending (2nd version) where it says "Get past the secret levels.

[marioman4646]

What A Cruel Thing to say to children!!!

[camwoodstock]

@marioman4646 I seen worse. It told me to beat the SECRET levels as well... I am SUPER ticked because I CAN'T GET THERE!!! >:(

[marioman4646]

@camwoodstock yeah plus with the music might get little children nightmares..

[camwoodstock]

@marioman4646 I was like "WTF DID YOU SAY TO ME?!?!" when I got that ending...

[camwoodstock]

0:11

Game: YOU FAIL

[BooVII]

Alright... had a shitty day at school because everyone claims I'm fat... "Hey son, would you like to rent a game? We're going to the video store" "HELL YES" ................ "This Bobble Bubble seems cool" OH MY GOD THIS IS FUN I'M SO HAPPY (gets to harder levels) FUCK THIS BLUE DRAGON HE DOESN'T HELP AT ALL

...

LOLOLLOL YOU FAGGOT ENDURED THIS SHIT YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS GET A LIFE PASSING THIS GAME BY YOURSELF AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE TO PLAY WITH HAHAHA FAGGOT thanks for paying us for rent!!

[Barbaryotaku]

When I was young I had no friends and was constantly bullied. My only joy came from playing the NES. I loved Bubble Bobble, but the way it gives you a bad ending for being solo brought me to tears.

[RocketRodder]

I think that was pure genius of them. PURE EVIL GENIUS. X)

[123ritsuka]

¿Cómo saco este final?

XD

Dice q intente c mi amigo.

Apoco debo acabarlo en modo cooperativo? O_O

[Peach0nade]

THANX 4 UR PASS

[loneshewolf74]

My brother and I managed to get the good ending with two players AND getting the crystal ball, which was insanely hard and it almost drove us nuts! Still, this was one of my all-time favorite games and I replayed it I don't know how many times. :-)

[DarknessDudess]

Whaaaaa --

Who needs that blue freakin' dragon, all he did was steal my countine letters and take my fruit! Infact, the girls and that green dragon could of just had a threesome. THAT would be a good ending and not the bad ending!

[abdu123]

Yea thats what a kid with no friends playing this game needs. More insult to injury. How fucked up is that?

[Warblefly41]

every time you beat the boss of the castle, you get "Thank you, Mario... But the princess is in another castle". but then when you reach the final one... you get" This is not a true ending! Try again with a friend." instead. this results in... depression. It's better to call it "The Tragedy of Bubble Bobble"

[Mada2595]

The music is kinda scary. If a kid plays this game he will have nightmares. It gives me the creeps when i hear it.

[Zombissux]

That is crude you go through hours of this game solo just to get that. You'd be better off with a game over or not playing at all.

[TrueMario]

but...but...i have no friends T_T

LOL what shud i do now?

[MrSaturn33]

FUCKING BULLSHIT!

lol

[henrywongtamer]

hahaha it is the true password?

[Shadoboy]

It's like the game saying "Hey! Socialize a little, would ya?!"

[GlitchySoftware]

lol that's the best "fuck you end" I've ever seen in a video game.

[gundamfan527]

I can't believe it! The only way you can get the real ending is if you beat the game AGAIN on co-op! Can you seriously imagine playing a game like this with your friend or sibling? WHAT WERE THESE DESIGNERS THINKING!?

[saarraawwrr]

well i played it with my bro when i was about 9 xD we got pretty far too ^_^ and it was fun us both playing :)

[gundamfan527]

Really? Well then, I guess I take back what I just said about the co-op on this game! The ending's still screwed-up though.

[saarraawwrr]

LOL yeahhh x] it is i didnt get to the end and now watch in what happends its like o-o..... o-k... xDD but i still would like to get to the end myself xD

[deds80]

lol thank god I have a brother :D

[j1d2s328]

how do you get the bad ending?

[TriforoDawn]

Beat the game on 1P mode. Yes, you have to play the game with two players in order to just avoid the bad ending.

[H4xHer0]

@j1d2s328 beat the game by yourself

[jarv156]

As AVGN said 'Fuck you, I beat the game'!

[MeetSimmio]

So wait, you went through, like 50 FUCKING LEVELS, beat a game as hard as shit BY YOURSELF, proving you are hardcore, and in return you don't turn back into a human, the girls dissapear, and you get a bad ending.

...

I think I'd throw my game out the window!

[smoke072]

I'll second that!

[MeetSimmio]

And there's that creepy music that makes my feel like there's a Zombie behind me.

[MidnightMidna]

It's even worse in the arcade version.

[epinky2295]

well ya because you paid to lose over and over

[GlitchySoftware]

actually 100 fucking levels, to this.

[msdragonfli]

OMG, If that ever happened to me in a video game, I think I'd puke!

[Xemnas399]

Wow. Now I'm glad I didn't bother to beat the game. If this had happened to me, I'd have been so mad...

[flossthebanana]

This is the biggest "FUCK YOU YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS" in the history of video games.

[FangtheWolf11]

I feel so hurt...

[wonchop111]

I remember when that happened to me when i was little. Before i was sad but now im just like: you know what Fuck you i beat the game so go take a hike you bastard game.

[MinDV1RU5]

How do you get the bad ending?

[LaiSteve66]

Beat the game by yourself.

[sflvegeta]

@LaiSteve66 What if you don't have friends :'( I guess I'll never get the happy ending then...::sigh::

[Skaarj11]

indeed, creepy ass music

[narusaku9978]

am i the only one that thinks the music is somewhat creepy?

[gastinell916]

nope

[moom81]

gave me nightmares as a child

[TheMaskedNerd]

that has got to be the biggest "fuck you" i've ever seen in video game.

[figment1988]

indeed, even much worse than "Thank you, Mario... But the princess is in another castle"

[MeetSimmio]

"Thank you, Bub, but we've decided to abandon you in another videogame."

[371312]

I remember when I was young, getting this ending. The first time I shouted bad words in my whole life.

[gogetassj55]

My first time finishing this was

Me: YES! finally!

*Both girls dissapears*

Me:... *Throws game out of the window* I rather play E.T before this again!

[GoIdstin]

the music is...scary...like those in scary movies...T_T

[Veke99]

so you just can't get a good ending on 1-player?

[Veke99]

well, at least he gets to stay a dragon... that's cool

[jasper800]

i was soo hart broken when played this took me 3 hours to get to bad ending

[FireJigglypuff2310]

I screamed so hard lol

[hoppyman11]

I remember saying whean I was three I yelled at nes MY FRIEND IS NOT HERE! AND I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CONTROLLER! I didn't get it lol.

[devonray75]

you can bring up player 2 by pressing start and then the select button, i guess

[thelurker25]

this ending fucking sucks!

[PetzCraze]

I'm glad I never completed this.I hate the idea of having 2 players, because I can't find anybody with a bubble bobble revolution game.

[PetzCraze]

I can't complete bubble bobble on my ds, its hard and nobody has the god damn game.That music would haunt me...

Bub should of said "Screw bob, these gals are mine!"

[kidbopper]

I would be so mad if I played a hundred levels of that it would make me mad

[SegaMegadriveMic]

When you complete this game on your own, it throws it back at your face (not leteraly, obviously). It could have said "Well Done, but try again with a friend."

[BubTheBubbleDragon]

The bad ending to the NES game Bubble Bobble.

[HotDawganaBeer]

This isn't the actual ending.

On level 99, one player has o grab an item that looks almost like a pacifier. That will unlock a secret door behind the baddy that is in the tiny square in the middle of the screen. The other player has to float down and knock him outta the way and open the door.

Then you go through A1 through B50 or something and get to the next boss for the happy ending. Seriously. This game has a big impact on my life as a child, it's CLASSIC!

[Blondie323s]

i think i would shit my pants if that happened to me.

[verbalweaponry0]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOO

*pause*

*breath*

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO!!!

[SturmvogelPrime]

One of the worst endings ever!

[schoolfilmer]

Believe me, I have seen worse.

[371312]

I cried when I first saw it...

FUCK, It's not an ending

It's a GAME OVER!!!

[IntellectualJunior]

I, for one, makes me glad that I never played it.

[krumpkrumpkrumpkrump]

Seeing this makes me glad I never was die hard enough to beat it solo.

[Siyko]

the music is so devestating. I remember this bringing me to tears.

[SturmvogelPrime]

tears and/or the need for throw the game through a window.

[flossthebanana]

Oh my god! Bub doesn't even get his own girl? That's horrible! :'(

[TheUniqueMaster]

This game has got at the same time a horrible ending and a very good one. That makes this game cool.

[PresidentBagel]

Ouch, that's gotta suck.

[morganviolet]

this had got to be one of the rudest ending to a game lol. I remember many years ago working so hard and almost crying when I saw this.

[embryo923]

yeah i remember wasting many hours of my life playing this game and then i get this shitty ending.

[LimePeng1]

I would fucking shoot my TV XD

[Haeinscute]

that sucks lol

[AdamGWright]

One of the biggest shaftings in video game history.

[vkrippen]

I would be sooo peed off if I got that ending!

[l3irdy]

i actually broke a controller once because of this.. lol

[RJN0607]

do u have the bad ending where u miss the crystal ball

[Razerdaownerer]

OWNED!!!!!

[mgear4]

That would really suck if you actually fought all the way through the game just for that to happen.

[Bloodreign1]

Not really lame, the game was designed by MTJ with couples in mind.

[leviathon74]

So u can see it for ur self but still u insist that u are right!!! Are u from the UK?

iF HE WAS TO PRESS START HE WOULD BE PUT BACK TO THE TITLE SCREEN!!!!!! NOT ZAP BACK A LVL LIKE ON THE PROPER COIN OPERATED ARCADE GAME!!!!

[Bloodreign1]

You're still stuck on this aren't you, I've already moved on to Bubble Symphony, and you're still stuck on Bubble Bobble. XD

[leviathon74]

No u just wouldnt have a clue cos ur a try hard loser.

[Bloodreign1]

Well have fun arguing with yourself over this game, I'll be using my time playing other games. Oh and I'm sure your Bubble Bobble "knowledge" is from MAME and the internet and not the actual game itself because your crude spelling tells me you're about 12 years old.

Have fun.

[leviathon74]

No ya dick head wingin pom. im actually playing the game as wee speak and im going to post video reply of the bad ending and the zap back. Typical wingin pom...

[SaiKoreBon]

Bub should just have both girls lol

[superslinger2007]

SaiKoreBOn, I'm speaking particularly for this version version of the game when I say - unless both girls explode/disappear in his face...

[SaiKoreBon]

oh yeah that's right LOL! XD

hmm but that's lame how you gotta have a second player join in to get the good ending.

[GameDude2]

Arcade games ported in consoles aren't perfect. Even the NES , Super NES versions , people say this is true which isn't at all. I rather play this on MAME.

[Bloodreign1]

It's not a crap version, fo the NES at that time it was/still is one of the best games on the system.

[leviathon74]

i seriously have no idea why u lot are even bothering with this crap version of this game. PLAY THE ARCADE VERSION ON MAME

FFS

[Gehn]

Uh... because we didn't have MAME 15-20 years ago when we were all playing this game in the NES?

[HeroStevyn]

If you press start to PAUSE the game, then hit select while you are paused, you can use one of your remaining lives (this does not work if you have 0) to ressurect your friend. If you are playing Single Player, simply do it once Grumpy is in his bubble.  Once your friend is alive, pop it.

I call this move "Ching-ing" because it makes a *ching* noise when your friend appears. :D

[Ephraim225]

You're SUPPOSED to play with 2 people?! That's just sick.

[Ahkten]

OMG! that would piss me off if I got to the end and didnt finish!!
