Bubble Buster is the unreleased US version of the B-System Puzzle Bobble. A prototype B-System board containing a build of the game was found in 2021.
Notably, while the final Japanese game was released in June 1994, Bubble Buster appears to have been intended for release around the latter half of 1993.

Compared to the Japanese version, some drastic changes were made. Notably, Bubblun and Bobblun from Bubble Bobble were completely removed. Curiously, a similar set of changes would be later made to the Taito F3 System version of Puzzle Bobble 2, Bust-a-Move Again, which did get released in the US.

The ending also was heavily reworked, but no spoiler, see by yourself ;)
