Puzzle Bobble 3, also known as Bust-A-Move 3, is a vibrant and engaging action-puzzle video game developed by Taito. Released in arcades in November 1996, this game is the second sequel to the original Puzzle Bobble. It introduces unique gameplay elements, such as attaching groups of bubbles to nodes that move downwards, rather than being pushed down by a mechanical device. The game's innovative mechanics allow for more strategic plays, especially with the introduction of rainbow bubbles that change color to create chain reactions. Players must clear levels by eliminating all nodes, and the game features a variety of modes, including solo puzzles and head-to-head battles. Each character in the game, ranging from dinosaurs to fortune tellers, has their own unique playstyle and attack patterns. The game's controls are intuitive, allowing players to aim and shoot bubbles with ease. Puzzle Bobble 3 stands out for its colorful graphics, bubbly soundtrack, and amusing character animations, making it a charming and enjoyable experience for both solo and multiplayer gaming​``【oaicite:3】``​​``【oaicite:2】``​​``【oaicite:1】``​​``【oaicite:0】``​.
