It says 5000000 points (5 million) but it actually gives you 50000000 (50 million) points. I guess it must mean 5000000 x 10 for each of the 10 secret rooms.
Collecting each diamond in the correct order for every single level is tricky at best. I had to do it using save state on an emulator. Imagine pulling this off in the arcade back in the day. You'd have to set up camp in front of the cabinet with a lunch to boot!
*How to get the Good Ending:* Enemies have a chance to drop one of the 7 Small Rainbow Diamonds upon death. Collect all 7, and you can collect an extra life, collect a Large Rainbow Diamond after the boss, and (if you collected the Small Rainbow Diamonds end-to-end, a.k.a "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet" or "Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red") access a secret room with a helpful item. Collect all 7 Large Rainbow Diamonds to unlock the Secret Islands (and the cages at the end,) but don't stop combing drops for Small Rainbow Diamonds; they now unlock the rooms for the 3 Magic Mirrors on Magical, Darius, and Bubble Island. Collect the Magic Mirrors to break the curse and get the best ending! Powerups for secret rooms are as follows: Speed Shoes: Your speed is increased permanently. Perfect Red Elixir: Your rainbow count is permanently maxed. Perfect Orange Elixir: Your rainbow generation speed is permanently maxed. Tome of Wing: You earn a permanent pair of wings, allowing you to jump in midair. Warp Door: Allows you to reach either Dragon Island or Magical Island. Full Peacock Plume: Summons a fairy permanently. Codex of the Sunken Isles: Raises the secret islands. Magical Coin: All hidden items will turn into Money Bags. Dragon's Bubble: Allows you to generate rainbows to both sides. (Bubble Island has no powerup: just the Gold Mirror and the Rainbow Scepter.)
Rainbow Islands includes several stages that are based on entirely around other Taito arcade games: Doh Island is based on Arkanoid, Magical Island is based on The Fairyland Story, Darius Island is based on Darius, and Bubble Island harks back to the original Bubble Bobble.
Yeah, adding Bubble Island is a reason why Taito called this game the "sequel" to Bubble Bobble, but why... There are so few reasons people would call this the sequel... And even Bubblun became Bubby, so why they would call this game a sequel if it has a different protagonist? By the way, even if they messed up in this point, i still like it! There are many good points about the game!
You know you're in for a treat when the player starts fiddling around with the very first bug on the very first screen in order to kill it 'correctly'.
Fun fact: different music plays in the console versions because the song that plays in most levels in the arcade version is a licensed song called Somewhere Over The Rainbow. The Game Boy Colour version, for example, uses the Bubble Bobble theme
I remember having a Famicom version with this exact tune when I was a kid tho! But I weirdly discovered what you said when I tried a NES ROM and the music was different. I was really disappointed
Anyone else with an irrational hatred of the poster for playing this game so damned well? Also, really nice to see a decent end sequence on a game from this era :)
I ADORE this game! It's one of my favorite ever videogames. I LOVE rainbows so much and even have rainbows on my wall! :) This is a really good video, good quality, and an excellent description in the info below. Whoever is playing is clearly very experienced and good at the game, though I was surprised that he has a totally different style to me. This guy does a lot of sideways walking. He tends to leave rainbows in tact and walk on them. As for me, I always jump while firing, smashing the rainbows instantly. I hate rainbows being left unsmashed! Also, when I want to ascend, I just jump and shoot, allowing a constant ascent like flying. This player doesn't seem to do that? Then again, I grew up playing this on Amiga and ZX Spectrum. I've played the arcade game a lot, but never fully completed it. So perhaps my style of playing isn't the best way to play the game? LOL

I must have played this game enough times that if I took the total amount of times and spread them over 1 a week I would still be playing this game until I would be 209 years old!!! and still I never got all the diamonds in all the worlds baby....well done great upload again.
So that is what I was doing wrong!!! I wasn't collecting the diamonds in order to gain access to the secret rooms!!! Also I like how Taito does throwbacks from other games and includes them into this one. I love they used the Akranoid objects on island 6, then they used the Electric fan boss from Darius on the secret island, did the Bubble Bobble layout and theme on the final stage and then to top it off they used the Quote from Street Fighter after defeating the final boss!!! Perhaps that is where Capcom got their ideas of using characters from different games that they made and including them in backgrounds and as secret characters.
So, it's actually even more complex than that: Collecting the diamonds gets you the big diamond/mirror. To access the secret room (which actually lets you skip the boss), you need to collect them IN ORDER.
@@Theshark15z I think he means you have to collect the diamonds IN ORDER after you get into the secret room. If you do this you unlock a new world called "Bubble Land" with 7 new islands
I heard that the GBC version of Rainbow Islands has the main theme from Bubble Bobble playing in the normal levels because the theme that plays in this version is a licensed song ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow". I know, it's hard to tell)
I think it started with the Dreamcast version. They had to change the music. I would imagine that all versions since then have used alternative tunes. It's SO STUPID! Apart from the first 7 notes, it's a totally different tune, with a totally different rhythm.
There was no Dreamcast version of Rainbow Islands. NES, SMS, Mega Drive (RI Extra), PS1, Saturn, PC twice (Acclaim, Empire Interactive, the latter a more modern release that didn't alter the music at all, the former, like the PS1 and Saturn versions, a mess), Amiga, C64, FM Towns Marty (RI Extra), PC Engine CD were some of the consoles it was released to.
@@Scripture-Man We shall not speak of that Saturn port, like the PS1 version, it is bad (broken bubble physics for example on Bubble Bobble). I wish instead of whomever doing the game (perhaps Probe as Acclaim never made a game), that Ving had did the game, the port they did to the Saturn of Bubble Symphony is flawless, and arcade perfect!
If this game had Lyrics to the song. It would be : *_Some Where Over the Rainbow Over The Rainbow Some_* *_Its Over Over Rainbow Over the O_ver Rainbow Some_* *Repeat .*
One of my favorite games. If you collect the diamonds in order, a secret room appears. You'll need the items and big diamonds. And 3 special islands appear! Magical Island Darius Island And Bubble Island!
I played this game on my C64 in the past. Didn't know about secret doors or islands. However, I have realized just now that color of the small cristal depends where it drops. Red is always on the left side and purple on the right side. All remaining colors are evenly distributed between these two. It's so brillant idea!
Great man, never made the same game twice, that was his philosophy. And after retiring from game design, he taught.... game designing to young students.
It sucks that "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" theme has been removed or altered on Taito Legends due to licensing issues and I hope they renewed it for upcoming rereleases on home consoles in the future
Sadly that's not likely, but the Japanese Taito Memories compilations at least made efforts to remedy the missing higher notes removed from any western and Japanese releases prior. ua-cam.com/video/uCK-wAumY-U/v-deo.html
AMF87 If they can't get the license to the song, then who created that song? And why won't that person allow Taito to reuse his song? Did he permanently leave the company or something?
@@cutiefriendsadventures7129 I'd guess that it's more likely they don't wanna attract a lawsuit from the owners of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', but that's just my assumption.
This is the greatest run of any game I've ever seen. I've been playing this my whole life,and I never knew it could be done this beautifully in a perfect run! Outstanding achievement. Thank you for sharing this ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
Best platform game ever? Simply awesome!!! 😍😍😍 I remember that after finishing it rightfully you'll get a free game play and a diamond would appear at the insert coin frame, we managed to finish it 3 times in a row, so we got till yellow, unfortunately the owner shut down the machine at night and we lost them... Always wandered what would happened if finished 7 times completely.... Anyone now's anything about it? Thanks for sharing...so many memories 😃
Wow, absolutely fantastic gameplay. I had this on the ZX Speccy back in the day, but I was never able to get further than Doh's Island. What happened on the very last boss? He materialised and then seemed to die in 2 hits.
@@martamorim434 I think it's referencing the fact that Arkanoid (the game Doh's island is based off), doesn't have any in-game music, other than a bit of stage intro music and the game over screen.
He died on a single hit. If you get all secret items on all secret rooms you kill the boss with a single hit, and the Street Fighter parody phrase appears.
This was the game that came with the sega saturn that my dad bought for me and my siblings! I remember how panicked I would get whenever the flood water starts to rise
I thought i was good at this game..now i realize i'm a total failure..you're a MACHINE...congratulations! I'll never manage to do something like this even if i play 24 hours per day.
Were you cheating? The farthest I've gotten in this is the world after the witches. I think it's the one just before Doh. You make this game look easy and there a couple of spots where it really looked like you collided with a baddie. I didn't know that the gems had to be collected in a specific order, I was always pissed when I didn't get the free guy (which happened by chance once or twice). There must be a really good graphics chip in this machine (for the time), not to mention a pretty good sound chip. I wonder why Parasol Islands never saw an arcade release.
I must ask, do you know how by any chance of how to get the colored gems in order please? I've played this game on the Amiga (emulator because I don't want to own and I don't know how to use old computers) I don't know why but the gems come out in the wrong order. Great playthorugh by the way!
+TheOnionKingdom The colour of the gem is determined by where the enemy's body lands. If the body lands on the far left then it will be red, whereas it will be purple on the far right. The colour of the gem is calculated from left to right: * Red * Yellow * Orange * Green * Light blue * Dark blue * Purple You need to make sure the enemy lands in the right position to create the next gem in the sequence.
@@tarstarkusz It may look like cheating because at some point he has various permanent extras, which you get in the secret rooms that open up when you collect the gems in the correct order. I have to say, once you get the wings, the game becomes a lot easier (and it probably takes away a lot of fun and thrill). Back in my C64 days, I managed to get through this once without any permanent extras. But I could never figure out how to get the gems in the correct order, so I just collected them as they came along. Nice to see the secret islands, never saw them before.
Las secrets rooms sólo aparecen si recoges los diamantes de colores en orden... sacar todas las secrets rooms de todos los niveles es dificilísimo... yo no sé cómo lo has hecho. Mis dieses. GG
So this was bubble bobble 2, I can see where all those parasol star monsters came from. They should now they need to re-release the whole bubble bobble trilogy In its original format.
Bubble Bobble Rainbow Islands Parasol Stars Bubble Symphony Bubble Memories Bubble Bobble Part 2 NES 2 Game Boy Bubble Bobble games that were unique to the handheld That's more than a trilogy, not to mention the later games that were for the more modern handhelds, but those can be skipped as they are bad.
I have a copy of the Japanese Mega-Drive Rainbow 🌈 Islands Extra on it’s way, which has the Extra version and also the original Arcade 1987 version, so it’s two games in one, and thanks to my Super Retro Trio + I can play it with the Mega-Drive Region Switch set on NTSC-J, can’t wait to play it, I played the NES version first, but the Mega-Drive or PC-Engine versions are the arcade perfect ones
MD version isn't arcade perfect, vanilla RI has no 3 extra islands, and Extra doesn't work like the arcade version at all, but the original RI. In Extra, the secret rooms shown here, the item inside can be manipulated. After getting the gems in ROYGBIV order, the item in the bonus room correlates to whatever color gem you catch last before fighting the boss. You can get the Big Book of Continues in the first island with the right colored gem (that continue book doesn't work at all in the MD version, you still get a continue limit the whole game). That book is quite important in islands 8-10, if you don't have it and lose all your lives, it's Game Over, and back to the beginning of the game for you.
@@ultramaster2o1studios53 EXCEPT for ONE version, the Windows release, Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands, from Empire Interactive (not to be confused with the earlier Win 95 Acclaim release, which was garbage). Basically it's emulation of both games, and RI's music is unaltered. It was a PAL PC release, but works fine with US PC's, bought a copy years ago off Ebay.
I remember playing this game and trying to get all the crystal so you can unlock the secret boss at the end of the game or smth like that, and I remember being so fking frustated when I reached the end of a lvl and I didn't get all the gems
SO unique in constrast to all the islands. Of course, Darius had a dark, robotic sci-fi feel to it with the space setting with the fighters and all. compared to Bubble Bobble
I don't understand last message "did you get a high score more than 9999990 pts? Let's collect 7 little diamonds in the last world! If you collect them in order you will find the secret door in the boss room". Now you have 69M score...if you play again without reset the game, will you find a new secret room?
I've re purchased a ds juat so I can play this game again. It's the most stupid, but addictive game. That's the only way to describe it!. Only started playing it yesterday and I'm on the 3rd World
The colour of the gem is based on the location where the enemy's body lands. For example, landing on the far left creates a red gem, while landing on the far right creates a purple gem. You have to kill enemies so they land in the correct position to give you the correct gem colour, but you also have to collect them in the correct sequence 🙂
Yes - you have to crush them with the rainbows, rather than just shooting them with it 🙂 To make it even trickier, every 3rd enemy you kill this way will always drop a power-up (e.g. red/yellow potion), not a gem - it limits the number of chances available to get all the gems 🙂

Well i already tried on arcade
It is rare to see an arcade like that today... Taito games are some of my favorite video games!
Wow. Decades later, watching and listening to this, I realize the main background track is a variation of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Nice.
I can’t believe it sounded like it. Omg! 😱
That all room clear bonus has to be the craziest secret bonus I've ever seen. Some serious skill and patience is needed for such a secret.

I wonder why sometimes, the enemies turn into a blue version of themselves when they die, and other times they change into Bubble Bobble counterparts.
That's due there's a crystal ball item which effect is to reveal the "true form" of the enemies (Bubble Bobble enemies).
So colourful 😁

This was my favorite game. I would like to know how i can play it now.. i couldnt find it..
WacDonalds Fries, such a classic.
LOL It's Ronald MacDonald's evil twin: WaMacDonald!
Yeah, they made a reappearance in Prehistork 2 as far as I remember.
This game will be referenced in Sonic the Hedgehog movie sequel
I like the Arkanoid level because Arkanoid is a fun game, it’s like Breakout only with power ups
Taito Legends on the PS2 Introduce me to this and i Really Love it! Even though i did not get fair.
Wicked. Top work. Patience of a Saint! 😇
Las secrets rooms sólo aparecen si recoges los diamantes de colores en orden... sacar todas las secrets rooms de todos los niveles es dificilísimo... yo no sé cómo lo has hecho. Mis dieses. GG
My favourite game in childhood..one time played so much and get collapsed.
So this was bubble bobble 2, I can see where all those parasol star monsters came from. They should now they need to re-release the whole bubble bobble trilogy In its original format.
Bubble Bobble
Rainbow Islands
Parasol Stars
Bubble Symphony
Bubble Memories
Bubble Bobble Part 2 NES
2 Game Boy Bubble Bobble games that were unique to the handheld
That's more than a trilogy, not to mention the later games that were for the more modern handhelds, but those can be skipped as they are bad.
@@Bloodreign1 😂 I love the brutal honesty of that last part of that comment but definitely that list of games needs to be rerelease.
childhood
I have a copy of the Japanese Mega-Drive Rainbow 🌈 Islands Extra on it’s way, which has the Extra version and also the original Arcade 1987 version, so it’s two games in one, and thanks to my Super Retro Trio + I can play it with the Mega-Drive Region Switch set on NTSC-J, can’t wait to play it, I played the NES version first, but the Mega-Drive or PC-Engine versions are the arcade perfect ones
MD version isn't arcade perfect, vanilla RI has no 3 extra islands, and Extra doesn't work like the arcade version at all, but the original RI. In Extra, the secret rooms shown here, the item inside can be manipulated. After getting the gems in ROYGBIV order, the item in the bonus room correlates to whatever color gem you catch last before fighting the boss. You can get the Big Book of Continues in the first island with the right colored gem (that continue book doesn't work at all in the MD version, you still get a continue limit the whole game). That book is quite important in islands 8-10, if you don't have it and lose all your lives, it's Game Over, and back to the beginning of the game for you.
Was the "Somewhere over the rainbow" mix removed in later releases? I played this on Taito legends and i dont remember that at all
It was. Later versions had the theme altered to avoid legal problems.
@@ultramaster2o1studios53 EXCEPT for ONE version, the Windows release, Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands, from Empire Interactive (not to be confused with the earlier Win 95 Acclaim release, which was garbage). Basically it's emulation of both games, and RI's music is unaltered. It was a PAL PC release, but works fine with US PC's, bought a copy years ago off Ebay.
I’m my childhood I never reached 3rd boss stage

Never knew about this game before!
I remember playing this game and trying to get all the crystal so you can unlock the secret boss at the end of the game or smth like that, and I remember being so fking frustated when I reached the end of a lvl and I didn't get all the gems
Wow! One Hit Overkill The Boss!!! 45:57
I love how they dedicated a whole island to darius. Thats pretty cool
Darius was big banger for Taito back in the 80s, heh~
SO unique in constrast to all the islands. Of course, Darius had a dark, robotic sci-fi feel to it with the space setting with the fighters and all. compared to Bubble Bobble
I don't understand last message "did you get a high score more than 9999990 pts? Let's collect 7 little diamonds in the last world! If you collect them in order you will find the secret door in the boss room". Now you have 69M score...if you play again without reset the game, will you find a new secret room?
I played this game but I prefer NES version. Music so cool like dream when we play in rainbow
This game used to boil my piss and still does
What on earth does that mean?

Era uno dei miei giochi preferiti 🤩🤩🤩🤩
This game is so colorful, I just wanna vomit! Like the rainbows Bubby tosses out! Makes me wanna eat POP TARTS! Even the soundfont does the same. :3
World 5's secret room having a warp to World 8 is MEAN.
Recalled old memories
Recuerdo este juego en mi niñez y hacia trampa para ganar jalando el bable para desconectar y el personaje de hacia inmortal. 😰

I play this in my nes all the time when i was kid it's Kawaiiii XD
How did you get such sharp graphics on this?
M.A.M.E
I've re purchased a ds juat so I can play this game again. It's the most stupid, but addictive game. That's the only way to describe it!. Only started playing it yesterday and I'm on the 3rd World
Have you completed it yet?🌈🌈
Hello, fellow boomers.
How do you know how to collect the gems in order? Like how do you know which enemies will have them?
The colour of the gem is based on the location where the enemy's body lands.
For example, landing on the far left creates a red gem, while landing on the far right creates a purple gem. You have to kill enemies so they land in the correct position to give you the correct gem colour, but you also have to collect them in the correct sequence 🙂
Oh that's clever. Thanks! 😄@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays
Do you also have to crush them with the rainbow instead of shoot it at them? It's something I noticed.@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays
Yes - you have to crush them with the rainbows, rather than just shooting them with it 🙂
To make it even trickier, every 3rd enemy you kill this way will always drop a power-up (e.g. red/yellow potion), not a gem - it limits the number of chances available to get all the gems 🙂
Lol cool 😄 Thank you 🙂@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays
The boss on the fourth world looks like a giant spinning Cartman shooting out cartmans
