-====== Bubble Bobb-l-ikes ====== 
-Developed almost exclusively in Japan, **Bubble Bobb-l-ikes** are cooperative,​ two-player, arcade videogames characterized by progressing,​ one-screen stages that are cleared when all enemies have been defeated through means of immobilization. Other common elements include power-ups or score bonuses (often in the form of food) dropped by defeated enemies, collectible letters used to unlock bonus stages once a specific word is completed, and a variety of distinctly themed worlds and jocular geographical inference. 
  
-===== Lineage ===== 
-//Bubble Bobble//, the defining and most well-recognized example of this group of games, arguably descends from //Mario Bros//. Both games have limited playfields, increasingly agitated and dangerous enemies after a time limit, and an incapacitate/​defeat mechanic.(([[http://​forums.selectbutton.net/​viewtopic.php?​p=497497#​497497|selectbutton forum post]]))
