Bubbler is a large red octopus and the third boss of Diddy Kong Racing and its Nintendo DS remake. He has yellow eyes with green irises and black pupils. His voice sounds garbled and very bubbly, an effect achieved by Kevin Bayliss, Bubbler's voice actor, speaking with a mouth full of yogurt.[2]
Prior to the game's events, Bubbler was brainwashed by Wizpig and entrusted with a portion of his amulet, so Bubbler is not inherently a villain.
During the game's events, Bubbler is only allows the player to race him in his own course in Sherbet Island after they win in every race course of said world. During the race, Bubbler drops aquatic mines to trip his opponent. Bubbler can be attacked by the player shooting missiles at him from red Weapon Balloons. After the player wins, Bubbler challenges them to complete every Silver Coin challenge of Sherbet Island before rematching him. The second race is more challenging, since Bubbler now moves faster and drops bubbles that temporarily encapsulate the player. When Bubbler loses again, he is freed from Wizpig's control and gives the player the piece of the Wizpig amulet he was guarding. Bubbler is the only character in the game not to appear in the cinematic ending, though he is present in the remake.
Bubbler's only other appearance is in the 4koma Gag Battle adaptation of Diddy Kong Racing.
