Bubble: Difference between revisions

'''Bubbles''', or '''soap bubbles''',<ref>''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' English instruction booklet, page 16.</ref> are floating objects that appear throughout the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] of games. Bubbles sometimes have contents within them, and bubbles can be ridden inside in some games. Some bubbles also replenish the air meter if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is underwater.

In [[Hippo (level)|the Hippo level]], the titular [[Hippo]] blows bubbles that allow Mario to "swim" in air, allowing him to reach the entrance to the [[Space Zone]]. They pop when they touch water or an enemy - in the latter case, a powered-up Mario briefly flashes between his large and [[small Mario]] sprites as if he has taken damage, but will not lose his current power-up (e.g., [[Fire Mario]] does not become [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]).
