Losing the final life in this island also results in the Game Over music from Arkanoid instead of the usual Rainbow Islands music. Also, the music is absent and the player's jumping sound resembles the sound of the ball hitting the bat in Arkanoid.

This level plays as any other, but the enemies are the same as encountered in Arkanoid, and the platforms are designed from colored blocks. The fifth island, DOH Island, is a homage to the game "Arkanoid", also by Taito. In single-player mode, only Bub is present. However, in this game they appear in human forms, as opposed to the dinosaurs of the first game. The main characters are Bub and Bob, the protagonists of "Bubble Bobble".

Holding down the jump button will allow the player to jump onto rainbows without crushing them. Rainbow Islands consists of seven levels, each consisting of four rounds. Rainbow Islands is famous for its multitude of hidden secrets, see 'Tips and Tricks' for details. A number of power-ups are available to the players these include multiple rainbows (up to a maximum of three), faster generating rainbows, speed-up shoes and temporary invulnerability. This ingenious game-play device acts as both a weapon (to either kill an enemy instantly, or trap it then collapse the rainbow onto it, the latter essential for collecting bonus gems - as detailed in 'Tips and Tricks') and as a temporary platform that allows the players to reach previously inaccessible parts of the level, as they race to reach the top of the island before the game's tight time limit expires. Bob and Bob are each armed with the ability to create solid rainbows.
