'''Bubble clones''' are clones of playable characters that appear in the [[Bowser's Tower]] mode of ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. They were created from "evil" [[bubble]]s from a bubble machine when [[Bowser]], annoyed at not being invited to the [[Party Islands]], created the tower to have his "own fun". The bubble clones can take the form of any playable character in the game ([[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Yoshi]], [[Toad]], [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], [[Boo]], or [[Bowser Jr.]]), and up to three can face the player on a single floor. When encountered, they challenge the player to a [[minigame]] (the player is given two choices of what minigame they wish to play), and they must all be defeated in order for the player to move on to the next floor of the tower. Bubble clones are not encountered on floors where boss characters are, and the character that is cloned changes after the same cloned character is defeated three times (the first cloned character will appear on floors 1-3, the second on floors 4, 6, and 7, and so on).

First appearance Mario Party: Island Tour (2013)

Bubblones are clones of playable characters that appear in the Bowser's Tower mode of Mario Party: Island Tour. They were created from "evil" bubbles from a bubble machine when Bowser, annoyed at not being invited to the Party Islands, created the tower to have his "own fun". The bubblones can take the form of any playable character in the game (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Boo, or Bowser Jr.), and up to three can face the player on a single floor. When encountered, they challenge the player to a minigame (the player is given two choices of what minigame they wish to play), and they must all be defeated in order for the player to move on to the next floor of the tower. Bubblones are not encountered on floors where boss characters are, and the character that is cloned changes after the same cloned character is defeated three times (the first cloned character will appear on floors 1-3, the second on floors 4, 6, and 7, and so on). Their name is a pun on "bubble", and "clone".

Bubblones can also be powered up (increased in difficulty) through Bowser's roulette. In the event that a Mini Star roulette block appears every-so-often or after three or more Game Overs in a row, Green Toad will hit it, with the number of Mini Stars displayed resulting in that number of bubblones disappearing from that floor (if Green Toad hits the block so it shows three Mini Stars, then all of the clones will disappear, allowing the player to move on to the next floor without playing a minigame). At the top of the tower, many bubblones of Mario appear, attempting to stop the player from destroying the machine making the bubbles, but are jumped upon and disappear. Bubblones do not have voice clips, and their animations are identical to the character cloned.

Bubblones also appear in the game's StreetPass Minigames mode, where the opponent in the minigame is represented by a bubblone of the character the tagged person chose to use in the mode.
