Bubble Bobble - Generated Items

Whilst each level on Bubble Bobble has one standard and one special item pick-up, the majority of items are generated either by killing monsters or as a result of using a special item. This page explains these items.

Popping Bubbled Monsters

Popping bubbled monsters gives the player points for popping the bubbles, as well as create a food pick-up.

The initial 'pop' points awarded are not accumulated, pick-ups are. So for example, if the player killed 3 monsters (using the table below) you can see that they would be rewarded 4000 points for the initial pop, and banana / apple & peach pick-ups would all be created, worth and additional 3500 points if collected.

Number Of Monsters	Initial Points For Popping	Pickup Generated (Accumulated)	Pick-up Point Value
1	1000		500
2	2000		1000
3	4000		2000
4	8000		3000
5	16000		4000
6	32000		5000
7	64000		6000

Note that the points rewarded for the above pick-ups are not the same value as when they appear in the map as standard pickups.

Killing Enemies With The Chack'n Heart

If the player kills a creature whilst invulnerable due to the Chack'n heart pickup different pickups are created depending on the monster killed.

Killing Enemies With Special Pick-Ups

Killing monsters with special items will generally result in the monster being turned into a high value diamond. For pick-ups that kill all monsters instantly any bubbled monster awaiting popping will only be turned into the lowest value 6000 point diamond.
