Dirty Bubble

The **Dirty Bubble** is a minor character of Around the Clock at Bikini Bottom. He is a large sentient bubble of water that has become evil due to absorbing large amounts of dirt.

## Plot

He made his first and only appearance in The Mermalair, after being neglected by Man Ray for Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, he has been feeling sad.

He sits in front of Shady Shoals Rest Home, where SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs arrive, and finds out that Man-Ray neglected him for the Jellien Mermaid Man and Jellien Barnacle Boy Clones. They go into the Mermalair and assign Mr. Krabs to turn off the generators so he, SpongeBob, and Patrick don't accidentally trip a wire, and tell him to meet them at the Villain Containment Chamber once he turns off the generators. After deactivating the generators and allowing the Dirty Bubble to open the door to the Containment Chamber, he manages to stop Jellien Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from attacking Krabs and gets angry at Man-Ray for leaving him, but it's soon revealed to be a trap as the Dirty Bubble said they are "the dynamic duo nerds read about in their comic books". Man-Ray then draws the bridge up, leaving Patrick to fight the Atomic Flounder, the Sinister Slug, Jumbo Shrimp & Sneaky Hermit, Prawn, Dirty Bubble, and Man-Ray. After the defeat of all other supervillains besides Man-Ray, Dirty Bubble engages Patrick in combat but is popped and defeated by him. Man-Ray then fights Patrick in vengeance for Dirty Bubble but is defeated as well.

## Neptune's Speedtastic Spectacle

The mini versions of the Dirty Bubble appear in Patrick's version of Neptune's Speedtastic Spectacle where they function exactly as they did in The Mermalair.

## Attack Pattern

Dirty Bubble has three phases and requires three hits to be defeated and popped. He starts each phase by blowing out several smaller Dirty Bubbles before flying out of range of attack. These Mini Dirty Bubbles slowly glide toward the player. They cause damage if bumped into and can be defeated in a single punch. (He summons five in the first phase, seven in the second phase, and ten in the third phase.) After all the Mini Dirty Bubbles are defeated or enough time passes, Dirty Bubble laughs and glides back onto the arena where he begins blowing a dirty stream of bubbles that pushes the player backward, the player must run away from the stream or they will be pushed into the spiked pit below the arena. After doing this, Dirty Bubble will float in place, idle and vulnerable in the middle of the arena. This is when he can be hit to progress to the next phase. Taking too much time will cause him to do his Dirty Bubble Stream attack again, though the player has a split second to attack him right before he begins blowing the bubble stream. Once his health is fully depleted, he'll pop and the game will move on to Man Ray's battle.
