Unfortunately this version also has the Master System's simplified texturing, so the platforms and borders always look the same here too. NES - The borders here are slightly less detailed than those of the Master System, but still look good.

The sprites and items here are very accurate and look great, with the shading on the items especially notable.

The texturing is very good for the most part, but to save on memory the game uses small texture pieces which it recycles across the whole stage (the arcade game often used small patterns for the platforms, and larger ones for the side borders, sometimes it also had unique patterns for the side borders). Like the arcade game here we have a simple black background, with textured patterns used for borders and platforms, and some well drawn sprites for the player and enemies, all of which contain a lot of charm.

It’s currently unknown if the North American release will have a similar deal, or if the Final Bubble Bobble DLC will later be included to those that haven’t pre-ordered.Master System - The detail level here is fairly comparable with the arcade game (though the arcade original wasn't that graphically impressive truth be told). For reference, Final Bubble Bobble is a port of the arcade game Bubble Bobble, but also includes additional content such as the inclusion of a 100 more stages, and more items and bosses. The SEGA Mark III version of Bubble Bobble, officially called Final Bubble Bobble, will be included as a bonus game for those that preorder from Amazon with a special Cyber Monday deal between December 6th and December 9th.

The Japanese release however comes with an additional bonus for those that pre-order. The Japanese release will also have a separate Special Edition release, that will include the game plus extra bonuses like a soundtrack and a book collecting different Bubble Bobble material. Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, the latest installment in the Bubble Bobble series, is currently available in European countries for the Nintendo Switch, with a Japanese release currently being planned for February 27, 2020.
