Creepy Bad Endings # 38

This is kind of like an old-school Creepy Bad Endings video. Apologies for the somewhat ear-splitting music.
Bad Endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world, something happens that, at best, creates a bittersweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win, despite everything that happened throughout your adventure. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly..

[@weavileforce3654]

You beat 100 floors, but you did it without a friend, so you fail! *tries again* You beat 100 floors, but you didn't grab a magic ball, so you fail! *tries again* You beat 100 floors, but you didn't go through the magic door, so you fail! *tries again* You beat 100 floors and went through the door but you forgot to have a friend spawn in, so you fail! *tries again* You beat 100 floors and went through the door and battled with your friend, but- *reaches for a hammer* Uh, never mind, you won!

[@qty1315]

You can't have a true happy ending without friends and magic balls.

[@acesamm]

Gerald Weir and Family

[@bennel3588]

If you got the crystal ball, and then went through the magic door, and then went through the secret levels, and then beat Baron Von Bubba without a friend, it gives you the password to the level B2, not level 99.

[@TheBrawlUnit]

This game punishes you for not having friends, how rude.

[@NotQuiteHere]

***** Bubble Bobble. The game that tells if you do not have a friend, then tough crap go get some.

[@miloswanson4125]

Friendship ain't possible without friends

[@ultimatex8172]

Ikr?

[@777Plushy]

You mean A 2nd controller?

[@Blueflag04]

I dont have friends

[@daveincognito]

Less of a "love conquers all" and more of a "I think that's enough quarters from you for now" kind of ending.

[@aidanorcutt543]

daveincognito

[@siriustheislandprotector9720]

daveincognito hahaha

[@Unknown_Atmosphere]

The "you need to stop"ending

[@sunscraper1]

No. The "whether you want to love one or not we prefer you want to" ending

[@blitzwinters5687]

So, the final boss is the character Super Drunk... And turns out to be Bub and Bob's parents. Does that mean Bub and Bob's parents were actually abusive alcoholics, and this whole game is about two brothers confronting their abused past? Am I reading too much into this?

[@zeeteepippi275]

More like the developers were super drunk to be this assholeish.

[@Dracomut]

I'd say so since how do the girlfriends, bubbles, toasters, and skeleton whale mastermind figure in?

[@blitzwinters5687]

The forms taken is just imagery, and the enemies likely represent the drinks their parents have; but the drunk parents likely would have been forcing them not to see their girlfriends, and the mastermind is likely representative of the alcohol, itself, or wherever they got their alcohol from.

[@Dracomut]

Hethkar Vormund That is stretching it :P

[@okey7281]

no, there is an enemy called drunk, and this is the "super" form of it.

[@generalcoon47]

That would tick me off. It's like the game has to punish me for not being a social butterfly?

[@camwoodstock]

You just need 2 controllers and to have more then 1 life left (shown as 1 or higher in the bottom left corner), pause, then use a button (i forget which) to revive/bring in player 2.

[@gallegalli2934]

It actually seems to punish you for not living in the world of "my little pony".

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

***** You don't even need a second controller. You can just use the Start/Select trick to give a life to Player 2, then pop Super Drunk with Player 1.

[@ilostthegame4801]

***** Do you do drugs

[@camwoodstock]

I Lost The Game No, I just play video games.

[@rainbowstreak9615]

So Bub and Bob are two kids with alcoholic parents who abuse them when they drink. To cope with their situation, Bub would make up stories about the two of them transforming into dragons to fight off the monsters that made their parents this way. Bob liked the stories, but anytime Bub suggested confronting their parents, Bob was never brave enough to, and Bub always failed. One day, at the very last minute, Bob finally joined his brother, and they confronted their parents together. Their clear devotion to their family touched their parents, leading them to seriously attempt to turn their lives around. Happy end.

[@Blueflag04]

That could've been a better story

[@Albtraum_TDDC]

More like the two kids run away from the abuse at home and joing the Catholic church. And they lived happily ever after >.^

[@sirpuppetdx]

6:13 You bastards! Its not love and friendship it's technology and video games!

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Bubble Bobble's bad endings just scream "Born In The Arcade", don't they?

[@Waialua-Wingfoil]

"Super Drunk"? Boy, that's the worst name I've ever heard for a villain. Is he an alcoholic or something? Maybe that's why he attacks with in a bubble, he hiccups it? Alcoholism in a kid's game is pretty odd.

[@Amalga_Heart]

In the Western version of the game (and possibly some others, not sure), they changed his name to "Grumple Grommit". Which isnt a much better name, really... But I know NoA sure as heck wasnt going to leave the word "drunk" in something like this.

[@siriustheislandprotector9720]

Joe Segal hahaha

[@sadiedeservedbetter]

his parents are super drunk. well done japan

[@kbid12]

well.... its silly but it makes sense its a drunk enemy, but really big that's why his name is super drunk but anyway, I'm pretty sure his name is actually Greg, that's how they call him in bust-a-move

[@Mfenton10]

Then it changed into Donner in Bubble Bobble 4 Friends. WTH?!

[@tylerchenoweth5017]

So, what they are saying is, I can't get a good ending just because I need a co-op partner? It's pretty much like saying you got Ending F in DR2 OTR because you didn't have Chuck Greene assisting you in the final battle with Agent S. It's like saying you can't save the world in FF VI without saving ALL friends. That is some bullshit right there.

[@Agju]

so then Bub & Bob weren't always dinosaurs? i did not know that. And damn does this game know how to troll someone. do you play the Bust-a-Move games? we had Bust-a-Move 2 for the Saturn and we just could not get my mom off of that game. :p

[@whoisthisgit]

I think I might have played Bust-a-Move in the arcade once, but I prefer Bub & Bob's platform games.

[@Agju]

it's tasty. :3

[@commanderjames5564]

Agju Ah, Bust a move was good

[@JesusJavier-MyAccount]

Double Shot doesn't explain that to me. Seems that Bub & Bob had yet another friend called Bubu(?). And that third dinosaur is red.

[@Bloodreign1]

Years later, people still mistaken Bubble Dragons for dinos, oy vey.

[@Spock1777]

You need to win in multiplayer? What if you have no friends? What if your a social outcast who's never leaves his basement? What if you only own one controller?

[@rivera3312]

Carter Pike that's me

[@theobserver4214]

Carter Pike Wat if you but one?

[@johnwippel8323]

Then your screwed

[@highgradedro]

Select start trick

[@dmas7749]

i'm late but just plug it into the second port quickly

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

Password is "GEJAJ", a.k.a. the sound of the unintelligible expletive you shout upon seeing those screens.

[@ProxDee222]

Bubble Bobble's bad ending is actually more enraging than creepy.

[@AGGSab]

Those developers trolled u by PUTTING TWO BAD ENDS JUST WOW

[@blakethesnake6686]

*three

[@acesamm]

4!!

[@PeanutTechno]

Oh man, I remember playing this game for hours when I was young! Good times! :D The bad ending music reminds me of the song "Quiet" from Cave Story. The bad endings are only dark if you get the good ending. Basically, the final boss is their parents. Two children, transformed into bubble breathing dragons, *kill their parents* ! Let that sink in for a bit. Oh, and since their parents were the final boss (named Super Drunk), I'm assuming that their parents just like drinking as their favorite pasttime (since the boss throws *a lot* of bottles). So they're just enjoying their alchoholic beverages...and their children just waltz in and kill them without so much as a second thought. "But the parents were drunk," you say. "They just did it in self defense," you say. It doesn't take away from the fact that they just killed their parents instead of trying to just talk and negotiate! Then there's the fact that those people trapped in bubbles weren't moving at all. They may have been in stasis and *conscious* the whole time with them slowly going mad! ("And I Must Scream", indeed!) That, or they've been slowly suffocating (I'm assuming this, since they're blue when you get to them). Just how long have they been down there?!? Then there's the fact that the arena was made of skulls. How many others suffered from the same fate before perishing? Jeez, this game is dark.

[@knight123x4]

No, It's just a game about bubbles.

[@JupiterNoose]

Lubble Lobble: Lub-Lub's Big Adventure 2

[@sunsethourglass4406]

"Try again with a friend." *Bold of you to assume I have friends.*

[@Spock1777]

It's more likely meant to be a "let's squeeze as much money out of this as we can" scenario, than a "let's inspire teamwork and cooperation" scenario.

[@Dracomut]

Wait a second, Baron Von Blubba/Skel is the main villain of the Bubble Bobble series and not the Super Drunk? I like that actually, you can't take the Super Drunk seriously and now it makes sense why Baron von Blubba/Skel was the final boss Bubble Bobble 3 (final game chronologically) instead of the Super Drunk

[@Bloodreign1]

Skel Monsta isn't the main villain of the series, Hyper Drunk of Bubble Symphony is.

[@Therm6000]

Friendship is Magic... before it was mainstream!

[@dmas7749]

Eh, I kind of like friendship themes, but mostly the more realistic ones. It isn't going to magic away everything bad that's ever happened to you. If it weren't for their combined skills, and efforts, you wouldn't have won the true final battle. That said, I hate it when it's very heavy-handed, and prefer a subtle approach to it.

[@Supermegurwolf]

Therm6000 e.e I don't like things that shove a cliché love lesson down your throat, which is one of the reasons I don't like MLP.

[@dmas7749]

Supermegurwolf Agree and agree. In fact I pretty much stated that in my last comment.

[@dmas7749]

Supermegurwolf Also, that's pretty much what I said at the end of my last comment, but I give you credit for better wording it.

[@Daniel156657]

+Therm6000 before it was flooded all over the internet an i cannot look up toothpaste correctly anymore.

[@mattermat1925]

The NES version also had a secret music track, which you could only find after getting a good ending and then browsing through the audio library at the end.

[@Fjadls254]

That normal 2 player ending... Taito probably knew this would happen.

[@skylardickson5201]

Wow Bubble Bobble has unbelievably high standards for a "True Ending". I swear, I'm not very good at Bubble Bobble, and if I ever beat the 100 levels, I would expect some sort of satisfying ending, BUT NOPE. APPARENTLY YOU HAVEN'T EARNED IT.

[@scatlinksean]

Look at the level number for floor 100: it says 80! And that crystal crap is cryptic as all hell! you could play the game 100 times before bumping into that door!

[@trevc9177]

That 80 actually represents the boss' health. Notice at 1:55 it decreases to 79 when he is hit.

[@SereKabii]

That's it. I can't hold it anymore. DO RAINBOW ISLANDS!

[@Juliansnake1000]

damn... this game abused pink color...

[@O7550-i9o]

bubble bobble showed everyone how to troll someone hard like how was anyone going to know that one!

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Wait so your parents are Super Drunk. So abusive alcoholic parents who keep their kids away from their girlfriends? And you basically kill them in the Bad endings. Wow I don't know if that's on purpose but the subtext makes the whole premise of this game pretty dark in retrospect. Just like that other Taito game you showed actually. The Happy end is basically Bub and Bob confronting their parents together and convincing them to give up drinking and be better parents.

[@Bloodreign1]

You kids and your wild stories/theories.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Hey at least it's more interesting then what you see at face value.

[@loneshewolf74]

I never thought before that Mama and Papa were actually Super Drunk. I just thought they were held captive somewhere and appeared after you defeated him. So if they died in the bad endings, that must mean Bub and Bob killed their own parents... which of course makes those endings even more disturbing! Also, the best ending in the arcade version ended on a somewhat chilling note about the parents...

[@trevc9177]

Glad I wasn't the only one terrified of this bad ending as a kid. It legit gave me nightmares idk the music was so scary as a little kid.

[@Jake-rr9qr]

ummm this is creepy, i have skype and sometimes when i pause any youtube video one of the emoticons pop up not as in a jump scare but just like a random place on my screen

[@agumike]

The other part about the NES version, is that it forces you to do Super Bubble Bobble in order to get the best ending, since Super Drunk doesn't get destroyed in normal mode.

[@Bloodreign1]

Every version of this game worth it's weight in salt requires the Super Mode for the best ending. The Sega Master System version makes you play through the regular 100 levels, then 100 more, all in succession (considered the Super Mode) to truly defeat the game, the only version to do that.

[@TenkaiGamer]

Wait... why are the parents beating up they're own kids? And why do they become a villain called "Super Drunk"? ... Holy Shit this game just went DARK!

[@i_play_projectm]

Here's my best guess: What if I told you there was only one Super Drunk? But with time travel shenanigans?! Could it be that by the time you reach Phase 99, Super Drunk ate the parents, completely. Gone. So no, Super Drunk isn't the parents... but he ate them. Your only hope is the magic crystal and door, that takes you back in time for every level you complete, it makes sense because in all 4 routes, 1P Normal Ending: Get to Phase 100 without getting to the magic crystal/door in time in Phase 99, thus being unable to complete the special levels, and defeat Super Drunk by yourself. 2P Normal Ending: Same criteria as 1P Normal Ending, but this time, defeat Super Drunk with two players. 1P Special Ending: Reach phase 99, grab the crystal, go through the door, complete the special levels, then defeat Super Drunk by yourself. 2P Special Ending: (Best Ending!): Reach phase 99, grab the crystal, go through the door, complete the special levels, then defeat Super Drunk with another player. it makes sense because you always fight Super Drunk in the same place. and both special routes require the crystal and door. Maybe the whole love and friendship stuff is Super Drunk's weakness, which is why he could possibly eat the parents in the 1P Special Ending, but can't/ doesn't in the 2P Special Ending. But this all just a theory a SOMERANDOMtheory, thanks for reading a reply to your 3 year old comment!

[@theoldkindakirit4568]

I literally Pee'd My Trousers When i head this Music : 2:14 (Edit : I was Meant To Say Trousers Not Pants!)

[@DeltaBlazin]

wait the final boss is named "super drunk"? as if ANYONE won't take that the wrong way.

[@valentincasanova2648]

"BAD END" You don't say?

[@dmas7749]

This had 6666 views when I saw it on the home page... An omen, anyone?

[@draven205]

Only if its just 666. ONLY!

[@dmas7749]

Robert Stotlar Well it's still kind of close.

[@draven205]

Good point.

[@dmas7749]

Robert Stotlar I haven't even watched it. The video I mean. I'm too busy playing video games right now!

[@draven205]

xD

[@takeyourpills3979]

So their parents got drunk and beat the shit out of their two kids and separated them from their girlfriends and the whole game is a metaphor for their inner fights and ultimately their confrontation with their parents Oh god

[@Bloodreign1]

No, not even close.

[@knight123x4]

No, It's just a game about bubbles.

[@scottzie]

Anyone noticed Nintendos thingy... Nintendo must stop doing bad ending if your reading this or nintendo read this To users: Tell this to nintendo To Nintendo: This has to stop this has to stop!!

[@karasushii]

Been watching your channel for a long time mate, keep up the good work and we all truly appreciate your uploads. Thanks again.

[@dezm101]

i love this game! it really captures the essence of the classic videogame era... single screen arcade platforming goodness! awesome video

[@MariMari396]

I would recommend the Banjo Kazooie game series for the next video :)

[@averagepikfan2686]

Mari Alvarado 22 videos later...

[@nicogearX]

Oh, you would LOVE Rainbow Island. That shit has one of the creepiest bad endings of all, complete with bone-chilling 8-bit depressing music and everything. I don't remember if it was supposed to be the sequel or the prequel to Bubble Bobble, but all I know is that you're playing as the same guys except they're human this time.

[@kitestar]

3:37 that wasn't in the original arcade game.... but even so getting the good ending in it without activating super mode still seems to be bad, is this the game saying that super mode is in this version

[@MsCuriousinferno]

Dang I love your creepy bad ending series, and this is no exception.

[@bennel3588]

2:35 and 3:34 Oh no! Someone is destroying those heroes. That's the destroying sound of the music at the ending.

[@Diego13303]

The final boss is "super drunk"..? I don't know, he looks pretty sober to me!

[@johnnyweissmuller5559]

How dare you like sadness? Love might be powerful. Heck, there is even a song about it.

[@janehuskmann1914]

I dunno about the best ending. I kind of like it.

[@dmas7749]

You would like it. I'm into more...darker stuff.

[@troywright359]

So, if you beat the game in one player, the storyline is that your brother (bub or bob) is dead and that makes it a sad end?

[@Bloodreign1]

Bob isn't considered dead, just didn't come on the adventure.

[@devildantedd666]

Music of bad ending reminds me Digital Devil Monogatari: Megami Tensei for Famicom.

[@Indrijid]

The music from Bubble Bobble is earsplitting no matter what volume you use >.< I can never play it for too long, I get headaches from it!

[@phet1211]

Imagine if in the best ending it said "sorry but you have to beat the game flawlessly...go do it again"

[@JustDontWantTrouble173]

If it said that ill smash my phone

[@thenameyoushouldknowthekin8998]

I would absolutely LOVE to be a bubble-spitting dragon! Why world? WHY?!

[@tailsprower8118]

so they made the NES version easier? try going to levels 20,30, and 40 without dying to get the 1st good ending. 2nd good ending is same but its Super Bubble Bobble, basically hard mode. Arcade's a son of a bitch, thank God for save states😰

[@LocalGooberGoobs]

I was just playing this in an arcade a couple minutes ago! I got a high score on it because I watched this!! :D

[@dhimitrimano]

KIRBY DREAM LAND 2+3 BAD ENDINGS! NOW!

[@natacarew]

The music in this game with headphones on is as punishing as the bad endings.

[@sephil5712]

[@nathanielsavory5434]

I'm pretty sure my dad wrote the version of this game for the original apple computer.

Unlike Bubble Booble, Streets of Rage needs 2 players to get the Bad Ending...

[@SenatorArmstrong2018]

One of the enemies names is Drunk My life is complete now

[@protosheepyt3316]

i always wondered why they were named that...

[@Bloodreign1]

@@protosheepyt3316 Because they are a tribe of people that like to drink, and cause mischief.

[@nuha3907]

THE LAST LEVEL’S BOSS IS CALLED SUPER DRUNK. And my reaction is… WHY

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

Bubble Bobble! Play with a friend! *Or else.*

[@bananamustard1151]

super drunk? that describes how cryptic this game is

[@The-Zer0th-Law]

HOLY SHIT IT'S THAT FUCKING ANOOYING STUPID SONG! Just kidding, it's a great game and I know it. Catchy tune as well.

[@Flowerbarrel]

That Bubble Bobble game sure is a troll, huh? I don't like it when games hav100 levels, even if they're still fun. It's just cruel. And you can't save sometimes when you get tired so you have to finish it all in one go. >_

[@Nunubotz2]

lol i get that game when i was a child and i never finished it, instead i believed that it was one of those games that have no endeing

[@bennel3588]

Have you played Bubble Bobble Plus? It used to be a downloadable on the Wii Shop Channel, but it's now shut down.

[@EvilGuy019]

Well...good thing I sucked at this game otherwise that bad ending music would've gave me nightmares.

What if you don’t have a second controller? TOO BAD!!! YOU GOTTA PAY AND GET THE SECRET ROAD TO WIN!!!

[@RedNinja629]

Bubble Bobble is better than Fortnite.

[@lucasmartinez5703]

3:20 Ok that's so devious it's hilarious.

[@anamenot]

That's fricking wack.Why the heck do you have to beat the game with another person?

[@suckerman7gm]

Well, because of this game's main moral: Friendship.

[@Bloodreign1]

The game was created with couples in mind, so the programmer, Fukio Mitsuji, made it this way. Allowed couples to unite together for a common goal.

[@pants1800]

Bubble Bobble is The world's Biggest Dick/Asshole Game. And also why would I need friends when I can just complete it myself like a Savage? **Puts On Fedora**

[@McBadassish]

This is like ghost 'n' goblins for the nes. after completing the game, you have to complete it again for the good ending.

[@RhiannonSTR]

Game Dev: Alright so we got this really easy game on the NES, a rarity, but what will compensate for that? Director: Aaaah, Just put a bunch of fucking bullshit to get a good end

[@averagepikfan2686]

Speaking of which, the enemy names are different in bubble bobble plus

You should do Corpse Party. It's a sort of Obscure Game Maker Horror Game with multiple bad endings.

[@bagel4943]

The game is racist to introverts. (please don’t take that seriously)

[@calebcool.cudbycool.4559]

Little Lub Lubs are actually even worse for you than regular Lub Lubs. because you don't use them as sparingly!!! and yeah, that was a bit way super little little little little little bit bit worse.

[@RaceBandit]

3:50 - Same here! I don't even think I remember Pabrtrky mentioning that Bad Ending back when he did a Video Game Assholes episode on this game. Then again, he might've played a different port since IIRC the 2P ending he _did_ was a bit different...

Not sure if you have played this game, but is there a chance to have a creepy bad ending on Abe's Oddworld Series

[@Evarace]

Well, good to know because I don't want to waste my hours only to find out I need a friend and magic crystal for good ending. I mean 100 floors! Nah, I prefer to save my remained sanity.

[@sebastianorsi103]

Yeah, get the love and friendship shit out of here. On the bad endings all of your loved ones died. Don't even try to make me forget.

[@voidsurger7038]

Speaiing of cbe, do cbe extra 5 because you should cover the plus version on the wii with arrange modes bad ending because You need at least 2 players on arrange to get good ending but without crystal ball.

[@miscielrossvillegas6307]

Ah.... the classic evil game design of games of yore XD Nice to see my struggles will be in vain /lmao

[@ky9660]

You never fail to entertain me

[@voidsurger7038]

Wait.. arrange mode requires you to get something that involves with grumple grommit. No multiplayer required :)

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

This is exactly the same kind of ending for Ghosts n Goblins where you beat the game only to find out you have to beat the game again to win.

[@camwoodstock]

I think the Super Drunk was the one to kidnap the girlfriends, actually. And turn you into dragons. The Skel-Monsta is more of a Creepy Time Limit.

[@camwoodstock]

(Also, I call them by the original names, not the newer ones. Zen-chan best toaster.)

[@camwoodstock]

(And the other versions had easier ways to get the ending; the arcade is the easiest as you only require two players, and ONLY two players, upon killing the super drunk.)

[@themayhemofmadness7038]

BTW, I am still only on episode 25, so if you have not done it yet, you need to do Creepy Bad Endings for Persona 4 Golden. And I say Golden (for PSVita) because it has 2 additional endings adding on that the Regular Persona 4 for PS2 did not. And one of them is boku creepy.

[@lucaslayton3974]

So much for my happy ending
