{{about|the stage in [[Kirby's Dream Land]] and [[Spring Breeze]] in [[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]] and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]|the [[Battle Stage]] in the [[Kirby Fighters (series)|''Kirby Fighters'' games]]|[[Bubbly Clouds (Battle Stage)]]}}

'''Bubbly Clouds''' is the fourth stage of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', and the third stage in [[Spring Breeze]], in ''[[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. The area is dominated by cloud-top landscapes, dotted with pillars, towers, and other structures. Due to its lofty locale, there are many [[bottomless pit]]s to reckon with. Later parts of the stage transition to a celestial backdrop, and near the end, a recurring secret involving entering the [[moon]] to reach a secret area with a long fall was introduced. This stage features [[Kracko Jr.]] as its [[Mid-Boss]] and [[Kracko]] proper as the boss.

Bubbly Clouds serves as the fourth stage of ''Kirby's Dream Land'', and here is where the platforming starts to become very tricky, since [[bottomless pit]]s can be found everywhere and lots of flying enemies pollute the skies. This stage features several large spaces, some of which involve winding paths and others being quite vertical. It transitions from a daytime cloudscape into a floating palace set against a starry night sky, with the main dividing line being the fight against [[Kracko Jr.]]--[[Kracko]] proper is faced at the very end.

Kirby falls into a cloud, and disappears from view. Shortly after, the cloud starts churning, then starts raining numerous different copies of Kirby, along with some large stars.

The sixth room is a small courthouse overlooking a starry vista. Up ahead is a [[Superspicy Curry]], which Kirby can use to clear a long hall of Star Blocks to reach the door.

The last room is where Kirby battles the boss [[Kracko]]. Once hit six times, Kracko explodes, leaving the fourth [[Sparkling Stars|Sparkling Star]] for Kirby to collect and finish the stage.

|caption=Intro cut-scene from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

Bubbly Clouds is the third stage of [[Spring Breeze]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. It is a largely truncated version of the same level from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' and features different enemies and Copy Abilities, though it still preserves a certain lunar secret near the end.

The intro cut-scene is slightly different between these games and ''Kirby's Dream Land''. In this version, Kirby starts sneezing while standing atop the clouds, causing stars to fall each time. On the second sneeze, one bops him on the head, causing him to tumble into the cloud. This cutscene plays out similarly to the intro cut-scene for [[Castle Lololo]], which was cut from [[Spring Breeze]].

The Spring Breeze version of Bubbly Clouds consists of five rooms and has the same basic structure, but the rooms themselves are for the most part shorter or otherwise changed. The main differences are as follows:

*The sixth room from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' is completely absent from this version. Instead Kirby is taken directly to the equivalent of the seventh room in ''Kirby's Dream Land''. Naturally, this room is not as tall and features different enemies.
