Bubble Bobble The Missing Info The BB Slot Machine

Here is some well known BB info which is still missing in the history.dat file.(There's surely more to say. For example, by looking at the graphics of the game by using the f4 key under MAME, you can find something which looks like a SLOT MACHINE... Does anybody know what's that???)*The "Super Bubble Bobble" Code*

There's another secret code you can enter via Joystick/buttons in the BUBBLE BOBBLE screen in the attract mode, and it goes like this:1P, Jump, Fire, Left, Right, Jump, 1P, RightThis will change the Bubble Bobble logo in "Super Bubble bobble", and the game will change under several points of view: different platform colors, different order for monster appearances... The most important change is that this is the ONLY way to see the REAL ending of the game Lightning fighter 2 hack (and you'll need also to kill the final baddie in a 2P play, 'cause the game wants to promote the "power of friendship"... see below). 

If the *super* trick is performed on the original version of Bubble Bobble, the game lets you choose at the very start between "normal" and "super" game, while the bootlegs don't. The "Super Bobble Bobble" bootleg is a hacked version which has the SBB code always activated.*The Bubble Bobble Alphabet*Treasure rooms feature a sign with strange symbols on it. You can translate them by using the first line of symbols, which stands for the letters of the English alphabet in the right order (ABCDE...). Here are the translated messages:Level 20 Door: 


"If you want to become the old figure, use the power of your friendship and fight with me!" Level 30 Door: "If you want to get back your love of truth,you must help each other untill the last...."Level 40 Door: "I enclose here these magical medicine,because those are my worst fears!"These are hints to find the right way of completing the game. 

Note that Taito used this weird alphabet also in Rainbow Islands, Bubble Symphony, Puzzle Bobble 2 and maybe in other obscure Japanese-only games. *Treasure Room in round 1*If you experience a Game Over in a Treasure room (you have to wait until a weird monster comes and kills you), the game will say that you've reached Round 102, attract mode will show only treasure rooms and, by starting again, Round 1 will be a Treasure Room! *Other High Score Codes*MTJ, HED, OTO, PAN, NSO, KIM, YSH, KTU, SAK, TOP, RYO, SKE, SAN are other codes which have some effect on the game (note that they're the programmers' nicknames).
