Bubbles, the Orange Bird is a character in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. He was introduced late in 2011 and is the third bird not originally part of the Flock.
Personality[]
Bubbles is very joyful and energetic. He enjoys eating candy and has an immense appetite. He might be described as being a bit immature. He is very oblivious to any danger, as seen in the Angry Birds Toons episodes Night of the Living Pork, Sweets of Doom, and Porcula, as well as in the cinematic trailer called Ham'o'ween, which also explains how Bubbles met the rest of the flock. He has the ability to balloon up to a monumentous size. This allows him to push enemies and/or obstructions out of the way.
History[]
Little is known about Bubbles’ history before he met The Flock. When first seen, he was inadvertently and obliviously captured by Pigs while he ate their Halloween candy. The Blues were the first to see him and followed the Pigs in disguise to their fortress with the intent on rescuing him. However, Bubbles was able to free himself and defeat the King Pig when the greedy pig attempted to eat the piece of candy he wanted to eat. This so enraged Bubbles that he ballooned up to ginormous size and pinned the King Pig. This may have been the first time he used this ability.
In the Trick or Tweet video, the members of the Flock went around Trick-or-Treating for Halloween. Bubbles disguises himself as a giant Frankenstein pig to frighten away the other birds, in order to get their portion of candies. By doing so, he accumulated a lot of candy for himself. In the end, the birds discovered that they have been fooled and returned with Terence to get their candies back.
The Pigs never rest in their quest to steal eggs and the Flock often has to retrieve their eggs on holidays and special occasions.
At an indeterminate time, the Flock was captured as rare birds and taken to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where they fought with Blu, Jewel and their friends against Nigel the cockatoo and Mauro and his marmosets. Bubbles did not appear originally in Rio, but arrived much later after the others, so it is possible he was not captured originally and made his way to Rio to help rescue The Flock.
In addition to Rio, Bubbles has also traveled to the People's Republic of China to celebrate the Mooncake Festival.
In another adventure, many of the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained superpowers and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs. Matilda, Hal, Stella, and Silver appear to have been left behind on the island to protect the eggs.
A very small amount of Bubbles was known in Angry Birds Space before he was released in the game. The knowledge about the Bubbles is that he is known as Cosmic Bubbles (or the Fan Alias of Atomic Bird), and he has a Space Vest. In July, he made his way into space to help the Flock, or because of the smell of Utopian Candy.
Ability[]
Bubbles first appeared in Angry Birds Seasons episode Ham'o'ween and has appeared sporadically since in Angry Birds Rio and the Classic Angry Birds games.
Bubbles inflates explosively like a balloon when a player taps the screen or clicks their mouse (depending on the version of the game they are playing) however, unlike Bomb, its expansion doesn't displace all the objects within its blast radius, rather, it forcefully expels the objects closest to it but objects just slightly hit at the extent of the inflation will barely move and even stay in place. This makes him most effective when he lands right next to the desired target, as even though it may hit objects further out, it does little to nothing against them.
Although it expands to a huge size, its strength doesn't change when flying. When the player taps the screen while the bird is flying, it appears as it would cause great damage, but it does minimal damage when fired this way.
When Bubbles expands within an enclosed space or crevice smaller than itself, it will quickly push itself outward until it has room.
Bubbles does not appear in any of the Web-based games, even if he appeared in the original episode prior to its addition to Angry Birds Chrome. It is most likely that he is not included because he was not in the original sprite sheets. By removing him, the original sheets can be used for all Web-based games.
