Bolb

Bolbs are a feature in some of the earlier Blob games. They are described as currency in the Blob Kingdom. The bolbs have different uses in the games, but they mostly follow the same purpose: They are scattered throughout the game and when you collect them all, you unlock a code.

Game Apperances
In the first Blob game, bolbs are little objects that are around the level that you can collect for a code. They are often in hidden or difficult to reach places. When you get all of them, you see a code, and when you type the code in on the title screen you unlock a special secret.

In Blob 2, Bolbs are necessary to complete the game to beat Zype. If you advance to his castle without all the Bolbs, you cannot advance.

In Blob 3, the 'bolb' feature works a little differently. It acts as a cheat code instead of a collectable, and there is only one in the game. When you first begin the game, to the right of you is a large red block that seems impossible to pass. However, if you hold down, you could kneel down and climb under the red wall. Behind the wall is a series of 'secret zones'. When you pass these Secret Zones, you will find the one bolb along with a message telling you what the code is. When the code is typed in at the code menu, you unlock an invincibility cheat, allowing you to touch red without dying. This is currently the only (released) Blob game to have an invincibility code. (Blob Adventure Unofficial had an invincibility code, but it is currently deleted.)

Use in Blob (Storyline)
Bolbs are commonly used as currency.

Trivia

 * Blob 3 is currently the last original Blob game to have bolbs.
 * In the original Blob game, there are 3 bolbs to collect in the entire game. There were also 3 in Blob 2. There was only 1, however, in Blob 3.
