game ends. When you turn on your NES, enter the password and you can start
from the last level you played.

Press the SELECT button to choose the password option and press START. Use
the controller arrow keys (up/down) to select a letter. Use the left/right
keys to move the bubble cursor across the password. Press the START
button. If the bell rings the password is correct. If you're wrong, the
bubble cursor moves back to the first letter of the password. After
choosing the correct password, select 1P or 2P CONTINUE and press START.
HOW TO PLAY
Each player starts with three lives. A life is lost each time Bub or Bob
is touched by a beastie or one of its weapons (fireballs, bottles, stones,
or lasers). The game ends when the number of lives reaches zero. Move Bub
and Bob around each level. Capture the beasties by pressing the "B" button
and blowing bubbles at them. Trap the beasties in the bubble and smash
them with a mighty jump or a high speed charge. Try to eat the food items
that are left after the bubbles burst. Get rid of all the beasties and go
to the next level.
Bubble Bobble has two worlds. Each one has 113 levels. You must
successfully complete the first world to advance into the second one. The
secret to completing each world lies in level 99.
Beastie Bursting Techniques
*Jump onto a bubble with a trapped beastie and crush him.
*Crash a trapped beastie into the wall.
*Charge into a trapped beastie.
*Groups of bubbles can be broken by bursting the one at the end.
*Stop a bubble by lightly touching it. You can group them this way and
then burst them all at once.
*Press the "A" button to jump. By keeping this button down, you can ride
up on bubbles that come from below. This technique is very useful for
getting to higher sections of some levels.
*One of the best ways to burst a beastie is to run right into him while
blowing a barrage of bubbles.
