Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2 (レインボーアイランド) is a 1987 platform game developed and published by Taito for Japanese arcades. It is the sequel to 1986's Bubble Bobble, and the second of four arcade games in the Bubble Bobble series (followed by Bubble Symphony and Bubble Memories, but itself has two direct sequels: Parasol Stars and Bubble Bobble Part 2). The game was ported to home computers and home video game consoles.

The "bubble dragons" of the first game, Bubblun and Bobblun (known as "Bub and Bob" in the western releases) appear in Rainbow Islands in their human forms as "Bubby" and "Bobby". Also unlike the first game, players must now "alternate" (i.e., take turns), with player one as Bubby (green shirt), and player 2 as Bobby (blue shirt).
