- TRIVIA -

Puzzle Bobble 3 was released in September 1996.

One of the playable characters is an enemy character from "Sonic Blast Man 2 - Real Puncher".

Another of the characters is a homage to Capcom's Ryu, complete with Shouryuken and Hadoken motions when he gets good combos. In his winning pose (where he turns his back to the player), he has the Taito logo on his back.

The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'PB3'.
