The lightning bubble sends a lightning bolt horizontally across the screen, its direction dictated by whichever side of the bubble the player hits to burst it. The fire bubble drops flames down onto the nearest platform, killing any enemies it hits. These can be burst by players to release their contents and destroy enemies. On many levels, bubbles containing fire, water or a lightning bolt appear.

Defeated enemies are turned into bonus fruit items that can be collected for points. Enemies also become angry if players are taking too long to complete a level. These angry enemies are much faster than before, making them harder to kill. Any trapped enemies who are not killed quickly enough will turn red and escape their bubble prison. The bubbles can also be used as temporary platforms, to help the dinosaurs reach previously inaccessible areas of a level. Bub and Bob are armed only with the ability to blow bubbles, in which the game's many enemies can be trapped and killed. One or two players take on the role of Bub and Bob, two cute dinosaurs who must battle through 100 platform-packed single screen levels to rescue their girlfriends.
