Mini Bubbles: Smaller than normal bubbles, these bubbles can pass through spaces where a normal bubble cannot. When a mini bubble lands on another bubble, it increases in size and becomes a normal bubble.

Star Bubbles: Firing a Star Bubble makes all similar colored bubbles pop. For instance, if a red bubble is shot at the star bubble, all onscreen red bubbles will pop.

Rainbow Bubbles: If you burst a bubble connected to a Rainbow bubble, all similar colored bubbles will pop.
β’
Metal Bubbles: Metal Bubbles cannot stick to other bubbles. If a Metal bubble hits a step point, it will be destroyed.
Blocks

Reflection Block: Bubbles cannot stick to Reflection Blocks, they will bounce off.
β’
Fulcrum Block: When all the bubbles surrounding a Fulcrum Block are gone, the block will vanish.
β’
Obstruction Block: These blocks obstruct the direct path to a bubble. You may need to bounce your bubble off a wall or two in order to get around them.

Dampa Block: Hitting these blocks with a bubble will move the launcher in the direction indicated. This may give you better positioning and allow for an easier shot at the bubble you are trying to target.
