No matter how exactly they're made underwater, and how they could contain enough oxygen to allow the character to breathe longer...
Line 17:
 
== Action Adventure Games ==
* These could be gotten from oysters in ''[[Ecco the Dolphin (Video Gameseries)|Ecco the Dolphin]]'', although sometimes you would get a ''poisoned'' bubble if you weren't careful.
** There were also bubble vents available in some places, especially in ''Defender.''
*** Although the oyster ones are deceptive -- they ''don't'' give you more air. They restore health, instead. Which, if you had a corridor full of oysters, could in theory serve a similar function as you restore health faster than it drains, but that doesn't ever happen so you'd better find the surface.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' has these for its underwater segments, as well as poisoned purple bubbles that drain a ton of your breath meter, almost assuring you'll drown if you don't surface ASAP.
 
 
== Platform Games ==
* ''[[Forty Winks]]'' has underwater vents that spew breathable bubbles. Just running through them is not enough, however; you have to linger on them to get a full-sized gulp of air.
* In ''[[Banjo -Kazooie]],'' one area in [[Down the Drain|Clanker's Cavern]] has a huge pit you need to swim into, but it's very, very deep. A friendly fish named Gloop appears down there who spits out oxygenated bubbles. He appears nowhere else, however, making him a [[Unique Enemy|Unique]] [[Helpful Mook]].
* ''[[Kirby Mass Attack (Video Game)|Kirby Mass Attack]]'' has those bubbles since it's one of the few games where Kirby cannot breathe underwater infinitely.
* ''[[Rayman 2 (Video Game)|Rayman 2]]'' normally uses Blue Lums to restore air underwater, but Carmen the Whale produces air bubbles that work identically. ''[[Video Game Remake|Rayman Revolution]]'' replaces the Blue Lums with bubble vents.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'': Every 2D game (plus the [[Sonic Adventure Series]], ''[[Sonic Colors (Video Game)|Sonic Colors]]'', and ''[[Sonic Generations (Video Game)|Sonic Generations]]'') that contains an [[Under the Sea]], [[Underwater Ruins]], or [[Down the Drain]] level.
* ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]]'': While coins somehow gave you some of your air/health back, inhaling an air bubble would fill it up completely. ''[[Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game)|Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Video Game)|its sequel]] also have air bubbles, but ironically, ''[[Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game)|Super Mario Sunshine]]'' only has them appear in one specific instance: [[Underwater Boss Battle|the battle against Eely-Mouth]].
* In the [[Mickey Mouse]] game ''[[World of Illusion]]'', Mickey and/or Donald travel underwater inside a bubble that surrounds their body.
