A Barney Bubble[1] is an enemy in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its Game Boy Advance remake, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. they are purple with blue feet, as shown from their sprites, although their artwork depicts them as white with red feet. Their name is a portmanteau of Barney Rubble, a character from The Flintstones, and bubble, relating to their behavior. A Barney Bubble's behavior involves it quickly running back and forth. A Yoshi cannot eat a Barney Bubble, and throwing an egg at it is the only way to defeat it. Whenever a Barney Bubble is stomped on, it produces bubbles, the same type as those produced by Bubble Dayzees. Two Barney Bubbles appear in the level Monkeys' Favorite Lake, and in the remake, two more appear in the forest area of Endless World of Yoshis, for a grand total of four Barney Bubbles.
