Big Bubbles[1] (also called Green Bubbles[2] or just Bubbles[3]) are obstacles appearing in the Vanilla Ghost House and Valley Ghost House 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 or Body Press can actually destroy them.

- 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.[7]
