Revision as of 18:07, 1 August 2019
The Bubbles[1] (ハリセンボ[2][3] Harisenbo?) is a reoccurring enemy in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a pufferfish-based Badnik model created by Dr. Eggman. Making their debut in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Bubbles hover around lonely or on groups, but will quickly protrude spikes from their body to wound the player once they get too close.
Appearance
Bubbles are loosely based on real-life pufferfish. Bubbles' blue body are smooth and spherical. Up front they have a nozzle-shaped head with two big black eyes on each side and a yellow neckline. Their rears also have a hole where a few wires go. On them, the Bubbles have a total of seventeen white spikes.
Since Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, Bubbles have become more detailed in appearance and their spike holes have turned purple and less visible. In return, they only have thirteen spikes on them. Their neck holes are also slightly larger, and under their bodies is a small rocket which keeps them floating. Their rearholes are also changed to seal air on each side of their body.
Game appearances
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
Bubbles are first seen in the Marble Garden Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Like Spikers, the Bubbles are very deceiving with their innocent appearance. On their own, Bubbles hover around alone. When the player is closing in on a Bubbles though, it starts hovering toward the player and starts protruding and retracting spikes from its body. The Bubbles are best destroyed by Spin Jumping into them when their spikes are retracted. Alternatively, their thorny defense can be penetrated with Sonic the Hedgehog's Insta-Shield. However, the player must time their jump and Insta-Shield execution correctly, or the Bubbles' spikes will protrude to inflict easy damage on Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4
Bubbles in a Homing Attack chain, from Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I.
In both episodes of Sonic the Hedgehog 4, the Bubbles returned as common enemies. In these games, they appear in two colors. The traditional blue Bubbles with spikes are present; however, due to Eggman's budget cuts, these Bubbles do not have spikes. Red Bubbles make their debut in these games and are slightly more dangerous as they can protrude spikes.
Diagonal chains of Bubbles are found in nearly every level. Many of these chains appear over bottomless pits, forcing the player to use the Homing Attack to skip across them. Unlike in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Bubbles in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 will not chase after Sonic and will instead remain stationary.
Sonic Jump
The red variation of the Bubbles appear in Jungle Zone in the 2012 remake of Sonic Jump. Like in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, these Bubbles float in one place and protrude spikes quickly. However, the player can destroy them with the Spin Jump at the right time.
Powers and abilities
Bubbles can hover in the air with small rockets, despite that they did not need that in their first appearance. Bubbles have all their spikes hidden inside their bodies. While Bubbles can be harmless at first, they will reveal they spikes quickly and without any warning which can cause unexpected damage to the player.
Trivia
- Performing a Homing Attack right as Sonic is below a Bubbles will cause him to stay in his uncurled form, allowing the player to quickly bounce through the rest of the chain of Bubbles. This avoids the brief moment between Homing Attacks.
- Bubbles' Japanese name "Harisenbo" is Japanese for "porcupinefish".
