Line 8:
The only tricky part is getting out of the bubble once you get in. For some bizarre reason, people put in bubbles tend to find themselves completely unable to get themselves out, no matter how hard they batter the inside of the bubble. It must be a side effect of zero gravity or something.
 
Oh? How do we get in? Well, we just get a bubble about ten feet in diameter, and... what? What do you mean, [[Square -Cube Law|impossible?]] Well, I suppose we'll just have to [[Incredible Shrinking Man|shrink down to a few inches]] and use a normal-sized one, then.
 
What? How do we steer it? Why, isn't it enough to just go wherever the wind takes you? Is your spirit really tied down to such weighty stones as "appointments" and "street numbers" and "deadlines" and -

* ''[[Bubble Bobble (Video Game)|Bubble Bobble]]'', and sequels ''Bubble Symphony'' and ''Bubble Memories'': how the protagonists travel between levels and how enemies are on the way to being defeated.
** If the [[True Final Boss]] gets you in ''Rainbow Islands'', [[ItsIt's a Wonderful Failure]].
** ''Rainbow Islands Revolution'' has Bub as a human floating in a bubble the whole time, relying on the player's stylus to move him around. [[Bad Export for You|Japan is lucky to be able to use the D-pad]].
* In ''The Fairyland Story'' (by the same company who made ''Bubble Bobble''), when you die, you get swept away into a bubble.
Line 69:
* The Latheon Gorge segment of [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]] is navigated by use of wind-blowing flowers and a magic ring that (among other things) encases the characters in a bubble.
* In [[Banjo-Tooie]] the only way to get in and out of Cloud Cuckooland is via bubble.
* [[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|Draco Cantus]] will often send a Neku-seeking bubble during it's boss fight, and unless [[Player Character|Neku]] doesn't pop it in time, it'll get popped by the boss, taking what [[Low -Level Run|can be a]] [[Self -Imposed Challenge|nasty amount of health off]]. Interestingly, {{spoiler|before the fight, Shiki and Beat are captured this way by a fused Kitaniji/Joshua}}.
* ''[[Lost Vikings]]'' has bubbles that vikings can use as a transportation device. The bottom part of the bubble acts as a tiny platform.
* ''[[Touhou]]'' has [[Squishy Wizard|Patchy's]] spell card, Water Sign "Jellyfish Princess", which creates a protective bubble for Patchy to float around in. When it's used by the actual player, the bubble doesn't cause her to float, acting as more of a general barrier for defense.
