Personal comment from the author of the replay (giro-X -- LUX) / Commento personale dall'autore del replay

Puzzle Bobble 2 is the second chapter of Taito's notorius masterpiece starring Bub and Bob against walls of colorful bubbles. A few features were introduced, such as levels with double-sized field, multiple paths, special bubbles, increment of maximum bonus for fallen bubbles, and a VS CPU challenge with more than a dozen characters.
Playing for score forces you to stack as many big bonuses as possible from fallen bubbles. On original PB limit of bonus was 1.310.720pts which could be get with 17+ bubbles dropped in one shot; on PB2 and following chapters, the bonus doubles up to 10.485.760pts if you drop 20+ bubbles in one shot, but only if you popped exactly 3 bubbles; otherwise, by popping more or less than 3 bubbles, the limit is still of 1,3M points.
Considering the nature of the game, the player must not only be skilled but has to deal with randomness and therefore, luck. Furthermore, against CPU one should act quickly and deal with garbage bubbles sent by opponent at anytime, which could ruin your bonus attempt.
In this replay, 7 bonuses of 10.485.760 and one of 163.840 points were obtained.
The version used is 2X (a Christmas/New Year official release) although nothing changes from original PB2 game for the chosen difficulty.


Puzzle Bobble 2 è il secondo capitolo della famosa saga Taito che vede Bub e Bob affrontare infiniti muri di bolle. Alcune funzionalità extra vennero introdotte, quali gli schemi larghi il doppio del normale, percorsi selezionabili, bolle speciali, aumento del bonus massimo per bolle cadute, ed una modalità sfida contro la CPU e oltre una dozzina di personaggi.
Giocare a punti ti spinge ad accumulare quanti più bonus sostanziosi possibili, per le bolle cadute. Nel PB originale il limite di bonus era di 1.310.720 punti, che s'otteneva facendo cadere 17+ bolle in un colpo; in PB2 e capitoli successivi, il bonus raddoppia ancora fino al massimo di 10.485.760 punti per 20+ bolle esplose, a patto che cadano dall'esplosione di esattamente 3 bolle; in caso contrario, il bonus massimo torna al classico milione e 310K.
Considerata la natura del gioco, il giocatore non solo dev'essere allenato ma si sfida continuamente con la casualità e quindi fortuna. Per lo più, contro la CPU si deve procedere con scioltezza e fare attenzione agli scarti inviati dall'avversario, che possono rovinare i raggruppamenti di bolle.
In questo replay, sono stati ottenuti 7 bonus massimi da 10,4M e uno da 163.840 punti.
La versione usata è 2X (una versione ufficiale rilasciata per Natale/anno nuovo), tuttavia non ci sono differenze con il medesimo livello di difficoltà del capitolo originale.
