    Overview

    Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is a single-screen puzzle-platformer developed by Taito and published by ININ Games for the Nintendo Switch in Europe on November 19, 2019. It was later released in Japan by Taito on February 27, 2020 and in North America on March 31, 2020, with PlayStation 4 and PC versions released afterwards.

    The fourth named entry in the Bubble Bobble series, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends follows Bub and his friends (who are now toys brought to life) as they venture through five 10-level "worlds" set in a kid's bedroom to defeat the mischievous Super Drunk. Similar to Bubble Bobble Plus!, the game includes four-player support (with players controlling either Bub, Bob, Peb, or Pab). The game's multiplayer is unique in that all players share their life counter and players can revive each other (by popping the bubble they're encased in before the bubble's timer runs out). It also features unlockable limited-use power-ups that players can start with, the ability to crouch under low walls, and a port of the original 1986 arcade game Bubble Bobble.

    The game was later released on the PlayStation 4 on November 17, 2020 (with the Japanese release on November 19, 2020) and on the PC (via Steam) on September 30, 2021. The PS4 version was released alongside a free Switch update, known as Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron is Back! or Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: Scary Monster no Gyakushuu), adding a new set of challenging stages. The PC version, also known as Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron's Workshop and Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: Scary Monster no Workshop, adds Steam Workshop support for custom levels with a built-in level editor.

    While the Switch version and most PS4 versions received a standard physical release, the North American PS4 version was released in limited quantities by Strictly Limited Games. Pre-ordering the Switch version of the Japanese release on Amazon.co.jp on Cyber Monday also included a download code for the Sega Mark III version of the original game (as Final Bubble Bobble).
