Puzzle Bobble, A.K.A. Bust-a-Move in North America, is a 1994 tile-matching arcade puzzle video game. It is based on Bubble Bobble, featuring characters and themes from that game. The playing arena contains a prearranged pattern of colored bubbles, and the player controls a pointer device, which aims and fires more bubbles. The objective of the game is to clear all bubbles from the arena by matching colored bubbles, which makes those bubbles pop and vanish.
