Bubbler

Game: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)

Bubbler (バブラー^[1]) is a scrapped enemy planned for Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Overview

It is a three-eyed floating fish (also known as Mother Bubbler (マザーバブラー^[1])) that flies in the air using rocket propulsion. As it flies, it would drop smaller, exploding enemies (Bubbler) that swell up and explode into foam which Sonic and Tails would need to avoid. This is listed as being set to appear in "Chemical Factory"^[1] (Chemical Plant Zone).

While the graphics for the object exist in two early prototypes of Sonic 2, the "Nick Arcade" and "Simon Wai" builds, it would not be until the "Alpha" build where code was attached. It was removed entirely in subsequent prototypes, and by extension, does not feature in the final game. The 2013 remake restores the enemy and makes it placeable in Chemical Plant Zone using edit mode where it functions much like it would in concept sketches, speeding up whenever the player is underneath it.
