Rainbow Islands Revolution is a game on the Nintendo DS. It is an update of the original game, Rainbow Islands. Unlike in the original, the main character, Bub, rides in a bubble, and the player has to guide him with the stylus, and draw rainbows with it as well. Therefore, the game uses mainly the DS's touch screen.
Gameplay[]
The player has to drag Bub around using the stylus. Contact with enemies or dangerous objects such as spikes causes the player to lose a heart. When all hearts have been lost, the player loses a life and must begin the level anew.
When the player drags the stylus anywhere on the screen that isn't Bub, the player can create a rainbow. The rainbow serves as a barrier through which enemies can't cross. If the rainbow is drawn over an enemy, the enemy is killed. Additionally, when the player taps a rainbow, it falls down removing any enemies that lie below.
The player can also draw some special shapes which create rainbows with special effects.
Unlockables[]
In Story Mode, collect all 7 jewels in a world. When you defeat the boss of that world, a large jewel appears. Collect the large jewel from each regular world to find the 3 hidden worlds. This is how you get the true ending and unlock additional characters.
- Mike - beat world 10 with every large jewel (play with Bubby or Bobby)
- Violet - Using Mike, beat world 10 with every large jewel

Trivia[]
- The game was due to be shipped free to purchasers of Bubble Bobble Revolution, which contained a major bug in the North American version of the game, though this did not occur.
