Big Bubbles[1] (also called Green Bubbles[2] or just Bubbles[3]) are obstacles that appear in Super Mario World. They are huge green bubbles that drift in the air, hurting Mario or Luigi if jumped on or touched. Using a Spin Jump, however, allows the player to bounce off them safely, and a slide will actually destroy them.
Big Bubbles are present in two levels: Vanilla Ghost House and Valley Ghost House.

Trivia
- The graphics used for a Big Bubble are actually shared with the body of the game's Big Boos, just in a different palette and without the graphics for features layered on top.[6]
