Super Bubble Pop The Player is able to choose from 5 DJ poppers, including 2 unlockable ones, along with 4 grooving soundtracks. They are faced with rows of advancing bubbles of different colors. They can launch bubbles of their own. The idea is to create a row, column or stack of 3 or more bubbles. When that happens, they will pop. Each character has their own favorite bubble color and when they pop them, color energy is transferred to their special jar. Once the jar is full, The player can unleash their super special attack. During the puzzles, the player is also provided with nine different special attacks that they can obtain by getting special bubbles. The current special attack the player has is displayed on a wheel called the Torus.

Super Bubble Pop is also a styling gum from Vain International. It can be used to experiment with different hairstyles in a no-fuss manner, and can easily be washed away.

The tie-in between the game and the styling gum came about by the CEOs of Zombie Studios and Vain International being in love and wanting to develop an innovative product within their respective industries. [source:wikipedia]
