About this game
Bub and Bob (from the arcade game Bubble Bobble ) once again take the lead role in Space Bust-A-Move .
Like in previous Bust-a-Move titles, the general goal of the game is to clear the screen of colored bubbles by making groups of three or more bubbles of the same color.

The game allows play in a variety of modes including Story, Versus, Endless, Challenge and Extra modes.
In Story Mode, Bub and Bob travel to various planets in search of the "Cosmo Bubbles".
Each planet consists of three levels, of 5 stages each, and a boss fight stage.
In each of the levels there is one Como Bubble to find and collect.
In Versus mode, the player must compete against various characters from the game.
It ends either with "Game Over" or when all characters are defeated.
Endless and Challenge modes consist of bursting as many bubble as possible, either until "Game Over" in Endless Mode, or in a set amount of time in Challenge Mode.
The Extra Mode is made of many mini-games bought in the in-game shop.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Space Bust-A-Move for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Space Bust-A-Move to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2009.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Space Bust-A-Move, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
