Bubbles is the main protagonist of the 1984 title Clu Clu Land. Bubbles is the saviour of Clu Clu Land, a title she earned when she fought the Unira that invaded her homeland and retrieved the Golden Ingots that they had stolen and buried around the sea floor. Despite being a Balloon Fish, Bubbles is a poor swimmer and relies on the use of pegs to change direction, reaching out to grab them whenever she is in range. She returns in the game's sequel, Clu Clu Land: Welcome to New Clu Clu Land, where she is once again forced to locate the missing treasures stolen by the Unira, and this time also defeat the Boss Unira that command the rest of their species.
Bubbles also appears as a playable character in the Game Boy Advance title DK: King of Swing. Sometime after the events of the Clu Clu Land titles, Bubbles found her way to Donkey Kong Island in time to participate in the Jungle Jam Tournament. She is one of the six characters only usable in the Jungle Jam side mode, and, alongside Wrinkly Kong, King K. Rool, and Kremling, one of the four unlockable characters. Bubbles possesses the highest balanced stats of any character in the game, with both her Jump and Attack stats being 4/5.
