Bubbles is a character in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. He was introduced in 2011 and was the third new character to be added onto the flock who was not part of the core five. After his first appearance in Ham'o'ween in Angry Birds Seasons, he has spread to multiple installments of the series and has become a main character since.

Personality
Bubble's Description in Angry Birds Birdsonality (modified):

''Bubbles is quiet but friendly, always happy to pitch in and help. His sunny outlook and loyal, considerate nature makes him a great friend. He prefers to focus on the bright side of life, so he can get overwhelmed by anything overly complicated or negative.''

Bubbles has shown very different personalities and has conflicted with the timeline multiple times. When he was first introduced, he was much younger than The Blues, who were the ones to find and rescue him from the pigs. He was shown to be very immature, with a great love of candy, and have a tempermant because of this. (even being unintentionally kidnapped for the candy that the pigs had)

This personality has been shown in the Angry Birds Toons series, where he only appears in Halloween based episodes.

However, the Angry Birds Movie shows a much different version of him. Instead of being found by the Blues as a very young toddler, he is shown to be much older than the Blues, being just as old as Red, or Chuck. In fact, he is in the movie before they are even hatched. He is close friends with Hal, and the two of them work for Matilda at her anger management classes.

This version of Bubbles is very wild, being very reckless and at times uncontrollable. He has a strong desire to be an "angry bird", but fails to do so.

Angry Birds
Bubbles, unlike most of the flock's birds, did not make his debut in the original Angry Birds game. Instead, he first appeared in Angry Birds Seasons, and then appeared in the original game in the Birdday Party theme. After playing his introduction level, Birdday Party 18-1, he will appear oftenly as a playable character.

Bubbles is an extremely unique character in multiple ways. For one, he is the only character in the flock who has another bird in his introduction level. (Chuck was also in the level) He is also the largest character in the flock when inflated, and is the smallest when deflated. (however, in the game he is technically larger than the Blues, while in animations he is much smaller) He is also the first character of Red's flock to be introduced outside of the original game, and have his own introduction video. (Stella was the second of both of these things)

Gameplay
Bubbles' ability is to inflate to a large size, and then to deflate like a balloon, flying about until he disinegrates. The actual inflating ability is very strong, and can be extremely destructive. Bubbles will not destroy the blocks around him by inflating, but more so will push them away, causing them to fly around and crash into other structures, destroying the blocks and structures effectively.

It is also notable that Bubbles is extremely good at destroying wood, and at some situations is better than Chuck, who is known for being able to destroy wood. Depending on the angle of the shot, Bubbles can have bursts of strength, and absolutely shred through the wood extremely quickly, seemingly not losing speed. However, sometimes Bubbles will not be able to destroy the wood as effectively, and in some situations will even stop in his tracks.

Bubbles is decent at destroying glass, demolishing 2-3 bricks himself, but cannot damage stone. (however, his ability can destroy stone with ease)

When Bubbles deflates, he flies around, but is still materialized. In fact, he can still destroy blocks and pigs as he deflates, creating more damage. However, it is suggested that the player doesn't rely on this alone, as it is unpredictable to where he will deflate.

If Bubbles activates his ability and expands into the ground, it is possible for him to glitch and dissappear.

Angry Birds Seasons
Bubbles makes his introduction to the Angry Birds series in Angry Birds Seasons, in the Ham'o'ween theme, the second Halloween based episode of the game. His first level is Ham'o'ween 1-4. where again, he shares the level with another bird in an introduction level, which never happened up until that point. (2 Red Birds appear with him)

Bubbles got his own character animation to celebrate the introduction of his character, which had never happened before to any of the flock members. (Hal recieved his own animation for Summer Pignic, but that happened a while after he was introduced)

After his introduction level, Bubbles appears oftenly throughout the following episodes as a playable character. However, he was a very prominant character in Ham Dunk, appearing as the main in the episode banner. The episode was also advertised with Bubbles, likely for his resemblance to a typical basketball.

Bubbles and Stella are the only characters that are considered new in this game, as Hal and Terence had been introduced before the game was released as Angry Birds Halloween.

Ability
Bubble's ability is the same as the original Angry Birds game. There is not much to note about it, all of the same logic applies in this game as it does in the original, since both games have the same basic principle.
