A Barney Bubble[1] is an enemy in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its reissue, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Barney Bubbles are purple with blue feet, as shown from their sprites, although their artwork erroneously depicts them as white with red feet. Its name is a pun on the name of the character Barney Rubble from The Flintstones. A Barney Bubble's behavior involves it quickly running back and forth. Whenever a Barney Bubble is stomped on, it produces bubbles.

Two Barney Bubbles appear in the level Monkeys' Favorite Lake. They quickly run back and forth. A Yoshi cannot eat a Barney Bubble, and they can defeat it only by throwing an egg at it. Whenever the Red Yoshi stomps on a Barney Bubble, it produces bubbles, which the Red Yoshi can eat and spit out for a variety of uses. Bubble Dayzees produce the same type of bubble.

In Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, two more Barney Bubbles appear in World 6's Secret Stage, Endless World of Yoshis, in the forest area, making a total of four Barney Bubbles.
