The original error should never have made it into the marketplace, but it's great to see Codemasters doing the right thing here (even if it has taken several months for the company to do so).
#WOW BUBBLE TROUBLE FREE#
We have enclosed a free copy of Rainbow Island, also for the Nintendo DS, as consideration for the length of time that you had to wait for the new cartridges to be manufactured." The company sent out a letter along with a corrected copy of the game recently, stating: "We would like to apologize for the problems you have had with this game and hope that the need to swap the cartridges did not inconvenience you too much. A few weeks ago the company announced it was finally ready to send out fixed versions of the game to all those who bought the broken product, but now AMN has word that not only is the defective version being replaced, but Codemasters is sending a free copy of Rainbow Island to everyone blighted with the broken Bubble Bobble (unfortunately there is still no word on when Codemasters will apologize for the game's horrible box art). You may recall how last year the company unleashed the broken Bubble Bobble Revolution for the Nintendo DS in which the boss of Level 30 was mysteriously absent, meaning that the remaining seventy levels were inaccessible. Both the original and the remake were directed by Jules White.I have to hand it to Codemasters for going the extra mile to keep customers happy. In Bubble Trouble, however, the bubblegum cake scene comes before the climax of the film.

In the original, the climax occurs approximately four minutes before the end of the film, leaving room for a bubblegum cake scene. Stooge critic Jon Solomon contends that this film has a significantly better plot structure than the original, All Gummed Up, though many fans do not share this opinion, noting that most of the new scenes seem forced and contrived (as was generally the case when director Jules White hastily adapted old footage).

The new footage was filmed on October 13, 1952, nearly one year before the film's release. Shemp knocks the spoon into Moe’s mouth, and the film ends with Moe acting like a gorilla.īubble Trouble is a remake of All Gummed Up, using ample stock footage. Moe adds that two talking gorillas would be even better and tries to get Shemp to take some of the concoction. Once subdued, the Stooges get the idea to put Amos in a cage and make a mint off a traveling show involving the only talking gorilla in captivity. Realizing this, he attacks the Stooges in anger. However, Amos overdoses on the potent stuff, and transforms into a gorilla instead. Amos quickly reneges on his threat to evict the Stooges, and requests a dose of the youthful serum himself. Several days later, Amos comes storming into the Stooges' drug store only to see the youthful Cerina flaunting her newfound beauty. The resulting celebration then finds the Stooges and Cerina blowing bubbles after every bite, with Shemp getting two bubbles out of his ears.

Shemp is assigned to get some marshmallows, but inadvertently retrieves bubble gum. To celebrate her return to youth, Cerina prepares a Marshmallow Jumbo layer cake. Deeming the idea "tremendous, colossal and putrid," the Stooges flee to their pharmaceutical lab and mix a powerful serum.Īfter several false tries, the trio give Cerina a taste of their Fountain of Youth, and she transforms into a fetching beauty right before their eyes. Shemp, seeing this, hatches a plan to invent a " Fountain of Youth" to restore Cerina to her stunning beauty. Both saddened and incensed, the Stooges offer Cerina their spare room in the back. After he storms off, the boys take to the frail Cerina, who begins to weep that ever since she lost her beauty, Amos had threatened to leave. "25 years is enough," he coldly confirms. As the four bicker, Flint's elderly wife Cerina ( Christine McIntyre) enters the store, only to be berated by Flint for being an old hag. Larry protests that the trio have had their establishment for a decade, and do not want to leave. The Stooges operate a local drug store whose landlord, the cantankerous Amos Flint ( Emil Sitka), informs them their lease is about to expire.
