[4] The GameCube All-Stars version has a four player option and a Space Invaders-style mode called "Shoot Bubble".

[6] Similar to Bust-A-Move 2 Arcade Edition, the original PlayStation 2 version in North American and Europe releases had unusually strange cover art, consisting of a photorealistic baby wearing shades and blowing a red bubble.

[16] Ryan Davis of GameSpot said the PS2 version has the best graphics and sound of the series to date, "with extraordinarily sharp 2D graphics and a healthy amount of visual splendor", but that its gameplay represents an "incredibly stripped-down" disappointment to the series which "brings virtually nothing new to the franchise" and is missing a lot of features from the previous year's Bust-a-Move 4.

[28] Human Tornado of GamePro said of the PlayStation 2 version in one review, "Super Bust A Move for the PS2 is the best puzzle game for the system almost by default.

It's not a must have, but Taito's new Super Bust A Move has a lot of challenge for gamers who want an action puzzle game.

Yet Super Bust-A-Move's limited new features and graphics, along with the PS2's backward compatibility, make it kind of silly to spend the extra bucks on this latest version.
