The game also has hidden rooms which allows players to rack up bonus points and find items that are needed to see the best ending.
The endings themselves have been changed to be a bit more cinematic.
Super Bubble Bobble is a mode in the original version that happened after the player beat the original set of levels and had to beat them again with the enemies being swapped around.
Beating this would allow the player to see the true ending.
This version of the game lacks this mode as the 200 levels are considered one playthrough.
About Sega Master System
The Sega Master System (1985/1986) was Sega's answer to the NES and, while it lost the console war in North America, became genuinely dominant in markets like Brazil and parts of Europe. That regional split matters for collectors: PAL and Brazilian-market cartridges can differ meaningfully in scarcity and pricing from their North American counterparts for the same title.
Gamevaro tracks Bubble Bobble for Sega Master System 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 Bubble Bobble 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 SMS release dates back to 1988.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Bubble Bobble, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Master System 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.
