Bubbles are reoccurring objects that appear throughout the series. They usually act as a form of transport which characters float around in after a fall.

In Super Mario series[]

New Super Mario Bros. series[]

Bubbles appear in every New Super Mario game. In New Super Mario Bros., they contain coins. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii and U (deluxe too) they have multiple different occurrences. They can contain coins and have a water-like function where players can swim through them. They also contain players after dying or pressing A on a wii remote ( L and R if on switch and Wii U Gamepad). The players in the bubble cannot release themselves, they have to shake their remote to get closer to the other player(s) (or press R on switch or gamepad). If every player outside a bubble dies while the other stays in the bubble, they will still die. If all players bubble, the level ends and you lose all of your Powerups but you will not lose a life. In New Super Mario Bros. 2, they have the same functions. These games also have types of Bubbles that can be swam in, these bubbles are called Water Bubbles.

Super Mario Galaxy[]

In Super Mario Galaxy, Bubbles appear around Mario (or Luigi) whenever they use a Pull Star. They can use the Star Cursor to guide Mario from between Pull Stars, and the Bubble will travel to that location. If let go, the bubble will drift around before dissipating. The bubble can also pop if it is hit by a hazard such as a Fire Arm or a Mine of if it lingers in the air for too long so avoid any of these. Bubbles are also present in Galaxies such as the Bubble Breeze Galaxy and the Bubble Blast Galaxy where they are the main requirement for transport around the gauntlets of those Galaxies. The bubbles can be blown with the Star Cursor from each side. These bubbles are far from invincible so if it makes a hit with any hazard or is pinched in between two walls, it will burst. To get out of the bubble, a Ground Pound is required.

Bubbles are also present underwater and are necessary to collect to preserve air while swimming. If Mario (or Luigi) falls off the Comet Observatory, they will be placed in a magical bubble which transports them right back to safety.

Super Mario 3D World[]

Bubbles are used if a player activates it. While in a bubble, the player can float towards his partner(s) and they, on the other hand, can pop it and release the player. Unlike the New Super Mario games, you cannot get closer to the other players. You always float behind them. You also cannot bubble while in the air.

Super Mario Odyssey[]

The bubble brings you back up to platforms when you fall off of them in Assist Mode.

In Yoshi's Island series[]

In the Yoshi's Island series, starting with Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, whenever Yoshi is hit by an enemy, the Baby he is carrying will be placed in a bubble that floats around and start crying. Yoshi will start losing Stars as long as this is happening, if Yoshi's star count reaches 0, Kamek's Toadies arrive and kidnap the Baby and whisk him/her away. Yoshi can burst the bubble and retrieve the baby by hitting it or sticking his tongue out, tossing an egg at the bubble will make it move close to Yoshi.

Whenever Yoshi touches a Morph Bubble to take on a temporary transformation, Baby Mario (or possibly one of the other babies in Yoshi's Island DS) is with Yoshi appears in a temporary bubble until Yoshi transforms back. During this, the baby does not cry because it is not under threat.

In Paper Mario series[]

Paper Mario[]

Bubbles are produced from a Bubble Plant found on Flower Fields. Mario can use the Bubble to float across the bed of thorns to make it to the other side. The Bubble Plant can produce Bubbles after being fed a Bubble Berry.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[]

During the Snifit or Whiffit Game Show, Mario answers the questions from inside a Bubble (as the Game Show takes place underwater and paper and water don't mix), Host Snifit answers Mario the questions, when Mario wins the game show, his bubble floats him to the prize room. If Mario gets wrong answers, a Mega Urchin will lower itself onto Mario's bubble. If Mario gets too many incorrect answers, the Mega Urchin will burst the bubble killing Mario and Huey which results in a Game Over.

In Mario Kart Tour[]

In Mario Kart Tour some characters have the bubble as a special item. With it they can float fast through the track without crashing. After a short time the bubble will pop.
