** A [[ThisIsADrill Drill]] RocketPunch.
** Drill hand opening up to reveal a LaserBlade which, when swung, spontaneously causes explosions for no apparent reason (other than [[RuleOfCool it's cool]]).
** [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Out Attacks]]. Some of them are almost incomprehensible, but the point still stands.
** It's formed by two talking construction vehicles who are brothers or have pilots that are brothers. The combination sequence ''reeks'' of SuperRobot.

''Generation'' was the fourth fully-3D game in the Bomberman series following the three {{Nintendo 64}} titles.[[hottip:*:''Bomberman 64'', ''Bomberman Hero'', and ''Bomberman 64: The Second Attack''. Fifth if you include the Japan-only ''Bomberman 64'']] ''Generation'' had a [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel considerably warmer reception]] than the N64 titles, and it is generally agreed that it helped break Bomberman through the PolygonCeiling. ''Generation'' was also one of the first Gamecube titles to use CelShading, and it was one of the first Bomberman titles to use complete voice acting ([[{{Macekre}} which was not]] [[SoBadItsGood localized well]]). Regardless, longtime Bomberman fans probably just stuck to the [[SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer multiplayer]].

''Bomberman Generation'' is the first VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} title for the NintendoGamecube, released in 2002. In the story, Dr. Ein sends a space freighter to collect the "[[MacGuffin Bomb Elements]]", six crystals with unfathomable power, to bring to Planet Bomber so he can study them. However the [[StandardEvilOrganizationSquad Hige Hige Bandits]], led by BigBad Mujoe, attack the freighter, scattering the crystals across Tentacalls; the Bandits are on the move to find the crystals, meanwhile teaming up with Bomberman's rivals, the Crush Bombers. Ein sends Bomberman out to fight off the Hige Hige Bandits and the Crush Bombers, lest they find the Bomb Crystals and send the universe into peril.
