Bubble Zone is the second stage in Gradius III.
Overview[]
As the name suggests, the stage is populated almost exclusively by Bubbles, which will break into smaller pieces when shot. It doesn't start off too bad, but soon, gigantic bubbles will fill the screen, although it's not hard to eliminate them if dealt with quickly; otherwise, they may end up filling the screen and further hinder the player's maneuverable options.
The player should also keep an eye on the enemies that come out from hatches, as they will release bullet barrages.
The boss is Bubble Eye.
