Pop'n Pop (ぽっぷんぽっぷ, Poppunpoppu) is an arcade and console puzzle game by Taito. It has been ported to the PlayStation and Game Boy Color formats.

Its gameplay can be described as a hybrid of Puzzle Bobble and Space Invaders. Rows of coloured balloons advance down the screen, and the player must shoot their own balloons at them. When three balloons of the same colour match up, they disappear.
