Ironically, despite being a key example of the trope, in ''Sonic & Knuckles'' alone (or any level after Launch Base in the locked-on game), it becomes a UselessItem because no levels have any water, rendering its key function irrelevant. Sonic can still bounce jump with it but any other character using the shield gets no unique benefit at all (compare this to, say, the Flame Shield, which is very handy in [[LethalLavaLand Lava Reef]]).

Sometimes related to MakingASplash. When the bubbles are instead used as an attack, see BubbleGun. When the defense is necessary because the user has a malfunctioning immune system, see BubbleBoy.

Ah, the ever-so-fleeting soap bubble. It just seems so unfair that we can't make them in such a way that we could go inside one and be safe from everything. Well, while our world sucks, this very concept is often explored in fictional settings. Bubble Shields are when bubbles are used as a defense against an oncoming threat. These bubbles often have incoming attacks [[DeflectorShield harmlessly bounce away on impact]], or perhaps the bubble and the person inside [[SphereFactor get launched away instead.]] Sometimes they can function as an air supply, [[OxygenatedUnderwaterBubbles allowing the wielder to safely traverse water without having to worry about breathing.]] Though, be careful not to overestimate them, they're still bubbles after all so be wary of sharp objects or other methods by which your shield can be destroyed.
