| 9 | [[folder:General]] |
| 10 | The eight siblings. Also known as the Super Bomberman Rangers or simply Bombermen. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Beyond these eight, various multicolored background Bombermen started appearing since around ''[[VideoGame/Bomberman93 Bomberman '93]]''. |
| 13 | * BadassAdorable: Especially when making a [[WingdingEyes (n n)]] face. |
| 14 | * BigWhat: In ''Super R,'' each of them may do this when they're blown up. |
| 15 | * ColorMotif: Certain appearances give them unique personalities to reflect their colorations. |
| 16 | * DependingOnTheWriter: The eight bombers' exact biological relationships vary between source materials, some referring to them as siblings and others depicting them as mere members of a species of Bombermen. |
| 17 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: While the major bombers have been subject to having individual personalities developed over the years, it wasn't until ''Super R'' when this trope took effect for all eight. |
| 18 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: In ''Super Bomberman R'', White, Blue, Pink, and Aqua are shown to be the responsible siblings to Black, Red, Yellow, and Green's foolish siblings. |
| 19 | * GlassCannon: Given how the series revolves around RocketTagGameplay, each bomber is this by default, being able to take one another out with powerful, far-reaching explosions. Without certain powerups, they are completely defenseless [[ExplosiveStupidity even to own bombs]]. |
| 20 | * HeroicLineage: In ''Super Bomberman R'', Vic Viper Bomber claims the 8 siblings all descended from the designs and parts of the legendary Prototype Bomber, granting them the ability to [[PowerCopying adapt and copy any Bomber's special abilities]]. |
| 21 | * [[KidHero Kid Heroes]]: In the ''Land'' series, the main bombers appear to be depicted as such. In ''R'', this is played straight with Yellow, Aqua, and Green, but a bit harder to pinpoint for the rest. |
| 22 | * LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:Pretty Bomber.]] |
| 23 | * NoMouth: This applies to bombers in general, which becomes more noticeable with voice acting. However, it has been indicated that their mouths may be obscured by their helmets on at least [[VideoGame/AtomicBomberman one occasion]]. |
| 24 | * NonindicativeName: Despite being officially called the Bomberman Brothers, there are sisters in the group. |
| 25 | * PowerCopying: Due to them descending from Prototype Bomber, each sibling is capable of adapting and using the special abilities of almost any other bomber. |
| 26 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Seemingly varies. Earlier games taking place on Earth describe them as robots, but later on, when they seemed to become the population of Planet Bomber and ordinary humans were rarer, this became less clear. ''Super Bomberman R'' reconfirms that they are [[MechanicalLifeforms robotic life-forms]]. |
| 27 | * SharedSignatureMove: Though it may lack an official English name, it's called "Bakuen Cross Attack" according to an official strategy guide, or "Fire Pillar Attack" in one of the Japanese manuals. Originally associated with just White Bomber, it's a very powerful technique that involves continuously placing down bombs to cause a chain reaction while one's in an extended MercyInvincibility period. On the odd occasion, one of the [[BigBad Big Bads]] might also use it as part of their moveset. |
| 28 | * SiblingTeam: It's sometimes White and Black in CoOpMultiplayer, but ''Super Bomberman R'' brings the other six to the main adventure. |
| 29 | * SleevesAreForWimps: With the exception of White Bomber, none of the Bombermen typically wear any sleeves or leggings. In ''R'', the women ([[spoiler:including Pretty Bomber]]) also wear them. |
| 30 | * SpacePolice: Defenders of the universe, even if it's mostly only White taking it seriously. |
| 31 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: The most notable users of explosives in the series. Practically every other character has this ability as well. |
| 32 | * VocalEvolution: During most of Creator/HudsonSoft's tenure, all Bombermen sounded alike (with the exceptions being in spinoffs like ''VideoGame/PanicBomber'' and [[Anime/BombermanBDamanBakugaiden the]] [[Anime/BombermanJetters animes]]). The voice was often high-pitched and scratchy, and would sometimes get replaced with slightly deeper or softer voices later on. In ''Super Bomberman R'', they each have their own voices to suit their personalities. |

| 38 | ->Voiced by: '''Creator/KazukoSugiyama''' (''Bomberman: Panic Bomber'', ''Super Bomberman 3'', ''Super Bomberman 4'', ''Saturn Bomberman'' (Japanese), ''Super Bomberman 5'', ''Neo Bomberman'', ''Bomberman 64'' (Japanese), ''Saturn Bomberman Fight!!'', ''Bomberman World'' (Japanese), ''Bomberman Hero'' (Japanese; uncredited), ''Bomberman Fantasy Race'', ''Bomberman Party Edition''), '''[[Creator/CharlieAdler Charles Adler]]''', '''Creator/BillyWest''' (''Atomic Bomberman''), '''Karen Takahata''' (''Bomberman 64'' (English), ''Bomberman Online''), '''[[Creator/HoukoKuwashima Hohko Kuwashima]]''' (''Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden'', ''Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!''), '''Creator/LaniMinella''' (''Bomberman World'' (English; Atlus USA)), '''Sheryl Stanley''' (''Bomberman Generation'' (English; uncredited), ''Bomberman Jetters'' (English)), '''Creator/TomokoKawakami''' (''Bomberman Generation'' (Japanese)), '''Creator/TomokoKaneda''' (''Bomberman Jetters'' (Japanese), ''[=DreamMix=] TV World Fighters''), '''Peter von Gomm''' (''Super Bomberman R'' (English)), '''Keisuke Koumoto''' (''Super Bomberman R'' (Japanese)) |
| 39 | |
| 40 | The one, the only, the original. Also known as White Bomber or simply Bomberman. |
| 41 | ---- |
| 42 | * TheAce: The Bomberman Bros. were made to defend the universe alongside him, but he made ''himself'' that way from a simple worker robot. He's also the only one to have ever fought ''and defeated'' '''{{God}}'''[[note]]The Angel of Light and Shadow, who created his universe and was set to erase it[[/note]]. |
| 43 | * BecomeARealBoy: In the 1985 NES game, he was a bomb-making robot that worked with others like him underground. After hearing rumors that a robot can become human by reaching the surface, he decided to escape and later emerged a full human. |
| 44 | * BigBrotherInstinct: [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/829048961751146496 Evident]] in ''Super Bomberman R'', listing "his brothers and sisters" as his Likes in his profile. |
| 45 | * BigBrotherWorship: Towards Mighty Bomber in the ''Jetters'' anime. |
| 46 | * BigDamnHero: In some of the games. |
| 47 | * BigOlEyebrows: Has a very intense-looking pair throughout ''Bomberman Generation''.[[note]]These are the same eyebrows that only show up when he's angry in other games (notably ''VideoGame/BombermanHero''). So apparently, Bomberman is taking this ''[[SeriousBusiness very]]'' [[SeriousBusiness seriously]].[[/note]] |
| 48 | * BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: In ''Super Bomberman R'', [[http://bomber-base.tumblr.com/post/157877277781/super-bomberman-r-bomberman-tv-round-1-video he's one tsukkomi among seven boke.]] |
| 49 | * TheCameo: In a [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS 3DS]] ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' game. |
| 50 | * CheerfulChild: His personality in the ''Bomberman Land'' series. |
| 51 | * ChickMagnet: His implied love interests are Pretty Bomber[[note]]though not in ''Super Bomberman R'' [[BrotherSisterIncest for obvious reasons]][[/note]], Cutie Bomber, Princess Millian, and Lilith. |
| 52 | * DeadpanSnarker: Considering his siblings' antics in ''Super Bomberman R'', he's quite prone to exasperated remarks. He also gets a few snarks in at Pommy's expense in the good ending of ''The Second Attack''. |
| 53 | * DubNameChange: Ivory Bomber in ''Bomberman Hardball'', and Cheerful White in the English ''Bomberman Land'' localizations. |
| 54 | * ElementalPowers: Bomberman's got a storied history under his belt, and when all he has is bombs, this has made for many, many different ''kinds'' of bombs; those harnessing the forces of nature are no exception. Most of these are introduced in ''VideoGame/Bomberman64TheSecondAttack''. |
| 55 | ** PlayingWithFire: The standard Bomb, known at times as the Fire Bomb, is just that: a bomb that creates a spreading trail of fire in its wake. Despite its name, however, it's often treated as NonElemental. |
| 56 | ** MakingASplash: The Aqua Bomb, which didn't appear in ''The Second Attack!'', is used to create underwater explosions in ''Quest'' and ''[[VideoGame/BombermanTournament Tournament]]''. In ''[[VideoGame/BombermanGeneration Generation]]'', it can be used outside water and explodes into water. |
| 57 | ** AnIcePerson: The Ice Bomb, which... well, does about exactly what you'd expect. |
| 58 | ** BlowYouAway: The Hurricane Bomb, which creates ferocious gusts of wind that can harmlessly carry him large distances. The Wind Bomb in ''[[VideoGame/BombermanGeneration Generation]]'' is similar, but causes damage rather than carry him. |
| 59 | ** ShockAndAwe: The Lightning Bomb, which calls down a spreading bolt of lightning. The Thunder Bomb in ''[[VideoGame/BombermanJetters Jetters]]'' is similar, but has a cylindrical explosion. |
| 60 | ** DishingOutDirt: The Napalm/Navarm Bomb, which incites a molten variation of this in unearthing plumes of ''lava''. |
| 61 | ** LightEmUp: The Mute/Light Bomb, which generates an intense flash that both holds potential for one-shot kills as well as [[TimeStandsStill stopping time for everything in the blast radius]]. |
| 62 | ** CastingAShadow: The Gravity Bomb, which creates a localized ''black hole''. Has similar power to the Mute/Light Bomb, as well as being the only force that can counteract it. |
| 63 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: As the original Bomberman, he's most commonly referred to as Bomberman. Later, he was given other names to differentiate such as White Bomberman and White Bomber. |
| 64 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: In the early games, he was a robot that produced bombs in an underground factory of the [[Creator/BroderbundSoftware Bungeling Empire]], but he grew tired of the monotony and left to become the hero he is today. |
| 65 | * HeroicMime: With certain exceptions, such as ''VideoGame/BombermanHero'' and ''Bomberman Quest'' giving him dialogue, and has full voice acting in ''Super Bomberman R'' and ''R2''. |
| 66 | * InSeriesNickname: Bomber Cop in ''[[VideoGame/Bomberman93 Bomberman '93]]'', Shiro Bom (White Bomb) in Japanese, and Bomber John in ''Bomberman Touch''. |
| 67 | * LightIsGood: He's the main heroic figure in the series and is colored white. |
| 68 | * MagikarpPower: In the Grand Prix modes, White starts out with 2 fire and 1 bomb, but has the highest stat caps at 8 across the board. If he takes the time to build up his power, he can turn into a dangerous LightningBruiser. |
| 69 | * OnlySaneMan: In ''Super Bomberman R'', he leads a team of intergalactic heroes consisting of him and his siblings, yet is the only one who takes his job seriously. The dynamic hasn't changed a bit in ''R2'', either. |
| 70 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: Blue Boy to Pretty or Pink's Pink Girl (notice he's wearing blue). |
| 71 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: Only in ''Bomberman Generation''. |
| 72 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: In ''Super Bomberman R'', White is the Manly Man to Green's Sensitive Guy, but White is the Sensitive Guy to Red's Manly Man. |
| 73 | * SpinOffspring: Daughter Alexandra in ''[[VideoGame/LodeRunner Lode Runner's Rescue]]'' (if one accepts the [[LooseCanon original storyline]] of him also being [[IHaveManyNames Lode Runner]]) and son "[[TotallyRadical Atomic Punk]]" in ''VideoGame/BomberBoy'' ([[AllThereInTheManual at least according to the USA box and manual]]). |
| 74 | * SuperDrowningSkills: [[WalkDontSwim He can't swim]], so unless the occasion is an [[UnderTheSea underwater area]] where WaterIsAir, this is usually his WeaksauceWeakness. |
| 75 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: When Buggler fuses all of the Dastardly Bombers into the Great Gattaida in ''Super Bomberman R'', he tells Buggler that he will never forgive him! |
| 76 | * ToBeAMaster: He's quite diligent about training, much to his siblings' chagrin. |
| 77 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Water. He can't swim and in some cases has a severe case of hydrophobia. In gameplay, getting thrown into deep bodies of water can kill him instantly, with ''Bomberman Hero'' simply taking out one bar of life and throwing him out. In some games, his explosives won't work underwater unless he gets a special bomb type. |

| 93 | ** He gets a bit ''too'' flirty with Pink Bomber at the beginning of the DLC campaign. Thankfully, White literally knocks him off in time. |
| 94 | * CannotTalkToWomen: In ''Super Bomberman R''. [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/829810743801286656 While he's said to dislike girls,]] in truth, he's extremely shy around them. |
| 95 | * DarkIsEvil: He's colored black, has "Black" in his name, and is a villain. Inverted after his HeelFaceTurn, [[DarkIsNotEvil though]]. |
| 96 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Except that [[DarkIsEvil he originally was]]. [[HeelFaceTurn He got better]] by the time the ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman'' games rolled out. |
| 97 | * DubNameChange: Star Bomber in ''Bomberman Hardball'', and Cool Black in the English ''Bomberman Land'' localizations. |
| 98 | * EvilerThanThou: Kinda. He's a villain himself and in ''Super Bomberman'' he's defeated by a [[EvilKnockoff Mecha Bomber]] from Dr. Mook and Carat Diamond (the game's primary villains). [[HeelFaceTurn However, he loses the evil part soon afterwards]]. |

| 102 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: Gained these in the remotely obscure ''Hi-Ten Chara Bom''. |
| 103 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: It's stated the reason he was evil was due to a programming error by Dr. Mitsumori. |
| 104 | * HeelFaceTurn: Black was once White's main adversary in the [=TurboGrafx-16=] games (excluding [='=]''94'') and ''II''. Then after getting defeated by a [[EvilKnockoff Mecha Bomber]] in ''Super'', White comes to his aid and they become friends. |
| 105 | * InSeriesNickname: Kuro Bom (Black Bomb) in Japanese. |
| 106 | * TheLancer: Becomes the most recurring ally to White after his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 107 | * {{Narcissist}}: His personality in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 108 | * ThePawnsGoFirst: [[FinalBoss He]] waits for White Bomberman to defeat his minions before he starts attacking him in ''Bomberman (TG-16)''. |
| 109 | * PsychoPink: A male example before his HeelFaceTurn; he has some pink (though it's less noticeable in ''VideoGame/BombermanII'') and is the FinalBoss of ''Bomberman (TG-16)'' and ''VideoGame/Bomberman93''. |
| 110 | * RedemptionDemotion: Once he defected to White's side, Black lost the magic and tech he had used during the final battles of TG-16 ''Bomberman'' and [='=]''93''. |

| 129 | * BallOfLightTransformation: Periodically does this as part of the final fight in the [=TurboGrafx-16=] ''Bomberman''. |

| 155 | * BrilliantButLazy: In ''Super R'', he has a technological expertise which rivals Brain Bomber's, but it's overshadowed by his lethargy. [[spoiler:The one time he's desperately needed by the others, he refuses until Green steps in and slyly suggests White would've gotten him Ultra-Luxury Soft-Sleep Pillows from Kaboomingdale's or Ultra-Powered Earplugs. Once his attention is gotten, however, he proceeds to ''brute force the password'' in less than ten seconds.]] |

| 163 | * MightyGlacier: In Grand Prix, he starts out with 2 fire and 4 (5 in ''R Online'') bombs, and caps at 2 speed, befitting his laziness. He can't use Bomb Kick, either, making him even more susceptible to trapping if he doesn't find a Bomb Punch. |
| 164 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In ''R2'', he sees the situation is bad enough to actively start fighting to stay awake so he can research the Ellonite and the Ellons. [[spoiler:And when the Bombers prepare to use the Ellonite cannon to defeat Fusell for the final time, Blue's eyes are wide open and his voice clear as day as he warns everyone that any Ellon that powers something is ''dead'', full stop, and he can't allow any more usage of the cannon.]] |

| 177 | * ApparentlyPowerlessPuppetmaster: A non-hostile variant. He makes liberal use of his status as the youngest Bomber to lower people's guard so they'll do what he wants, but usually limits it to getting free food or motivating his siblings to solve a dilemma. In ''R'', he has the lowest max stats of any character and no ability of his own, so he relies primarily on setting off other opponents' bombs to sabotage more intricate chains. |
| 178 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of the siblings according to the official ''Super Bomberman R'' website. |
| 179 | * BallOfLightTransformation: Periodically does this as part of the final fight in the [=TurboGrafx-16=] ''Bomberman''. |
| 180 | * BlushSticker: In ''Super R''. |
| 181 | * TheCutie: In ''Super Bomberman R'', he's shown to be this due to him being the youngest. |

| 183 | * DubNameChange: Bookworm Green in the English ''Bomberman Land'' localizations. |
| 184 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: His personality in ''Super R''. |
| 185 | * InSeriesNickname: Midori Bom (Green Bomb) in Japanese. |
| 186 | * LethalJokeCharacter: All his stats in Grand Prix cap at a meager 3 in ''Super Bomberman R'', and is even weaker in ''R Online'', having just '''1''' in both fire and bomb, and is maxed out at that. However, he starts with a Power Glove, Punching Glove, and a Bomb Kick, allowing him to get the jump on his competition by trapping them, and avoid getting trapped himself. |
| 187 | * LevitatingLotusPosition: Can do this in ''Bomberman: Bakufuu Sentai Bombermen''. |
| 188 | * ObsessedWithFood: [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/834098969282179072 Yakiniku]] (western barbecue, especially burgers) in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 189 | * PutOnABus: While he appears in the three [=TurboGrafx-16=] games (which were five-player), he is properly excluded in the first two ''Super'' games (which were four-player despite the Multitap adding up the number of possible controllers to five). Aside from two shades of green in ''Super 2'' through [[PaletteSwap Palette Swaps]], Green Bomber returned as a full character for ''Super 3'', ''4'', ''5'', and ''World'', before going on yet another bus until ''DS'', ''Live'', ''Blast'', ''Ultra'', and ''R''. |
| 190 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: In ''Super Bomberman R'', Green is the Sensitive Guy to White's Manly Man. |
| 191 | * ShockAndAwe: His Green Bomb in ''Bomberman: Bakufuu Sentai Bombermen''. |
| 192 | * TheSmartGuy: Implied to a degree in ''Super R'', where he convinces his older siblings to do his bidding, [[spoiler:including convincing the normally-lazy Blue to help the bombers escape being sucked into cyberspace]]. |
| 193 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: In the ''Land'' series. |

| 211 | * FightingClown: His stats in Grand Prix is designed with this in mind, starting out with a Power Glove and Rubber Bomb to stir a bit of chaos. He even starts with 3 bombs in ''R Online'' to keep his opponents on their toes. |
| 212 | * HappyDance: In ''Super R'', he does this whenever he gets to the goal. |
| 213 | * InSeriesNickname: Kiiro Bom in ''Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden'', and Ki Bom in the Japanese ''Super Bomberman R'' setting, each effectively translating as Yellow Bomb. |
| 214 | * {{Keet}}: In ''Super R'', he defaults to this due to his happy, cheerful, and energetic personality. |
| 215 | * ThePollyanna: In ''Super R''. |
| 216 | * PromotedToPlayable: In the [=TurboGrafx-16=] games, Yellow was one of Black's henchmen and the only one of them not to be playable (unlike Red, Blue, and Green). Later, the Creator/{{Irem}} [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcade games]], ''Super 2'' (via PaletteSwap), and eight/ten-player games made him playable. |
| 217 | * TerribleArtist: [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/832278313515180032 He likes drawing]], but if the opening of ''Super Bomberman R'' is any indication, it amounts to doodling on the walls with crayons. |

| 225 | The one with heart. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * ActionGirl: In ''Super Bomberman R'', she fought alongside the Bomberman Bros. to defend and bring peace to the universe. |
| 228 | * AscendedExtra: First appeared as an onlooker on the ''Bomberman '93'' Battle Game victory screen. |
| 229 | * BigSisterInstinct: Has an overbearing but ultimately altruistic personality in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 230 | * CompositeCharacter: In ''Super R'', through an odd mix of this and DecompositeCharacter, much of Pretty Bomber's design was transferred over to Pink Bomber, so that the Five Dastardly Bombers' token female member ([[MeaningfulRename now known as Sexy / Karaoke Bomber]]) could be made more [[EvilMakeover overtly villainous]]. See "Five Dastardly Bombers" below for more info. |
| 231 | * CoolBigSis: In ''Super Bomberman R'', she's this to Aqua and her younger siblings. |
| 232 | * DudeMagnet: In one of the ending pictures in ''Super Bomberman R'', she's shown to be singing with Pretty while the audience cheer for both of them, which means she and Pretty are shown to have multiple fans, including [[FanBoy fanboys]]. |
| 233 | * IdolSinger: Well, she may not be an idol, [[https://twitter.com/konamieu/status/835142243409399808 but she's apparently a good singer,]] contrasting a [[EvilDiva certain]] Dastardly Bomber. |
| 234 | * InSeriesNickname: Pink Bom (Pink Bomb) in Japanese. |
| 235 | * JackOfAllStats: Her Grand Prix stats are 3 across the board, maxing out at 5 and even start out maxed in ''R Online''. She has a strong start, but will get power creeped easily, especially with her lack of Bomb Punch, Pierce Bomb, and Rubber Bomb. ''R Online'' gives her Pierce and Rubber Bomb availability, but loses the Power Glove. |
| 236 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: Pink Girl to White's Blue Boy. In ''Super R'', her personality also seems closest to White in the sense that she actively wants to set an example (to their sister Aqua in particular). |
| 237 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Her body color is pink. |
| 238 | * PluckyGirl: In ''Super Bomberman R'', her personality defaults to this, since she's shown to actively listen to White really well. She's also shown to be brave, optimistic, level-headed, and more sensible than Aqua in that game. This might be due to Aqua being her little sister, and Aqua is mostly scared and worried most of the time when she is around fighting and violence (which she doesn't like), while Pink is older than her and acts more relaxed and laid-back. |
| 239 | * RedOniBlueOni: In ''Super Bomberman R'', Pink is the Red to Aqua's Blue. Incidentally, their respective colors are lighter versions of red and blue. And that's saying something! |
| 240 | * SailorFuku: Her collar in ''Super R'' is evocative of one. |
| 241 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She is not to be confused with Pretty Bomber, who became a playable regular in the ''Land'' games (and was even renamed [[OneSteveLimit Cute Pink]] in their localizations). |
| 242 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: [[{{Retcon}} Previously]] looked like a [[RealMenWearPink male Bomberman]] (due to former lack of differentiation between the main eight by more than color), but [[GenderFlip officially female]] in ''Bakugaiden'', ''Sentai'', and ''Super R'' (along with Aqua). |
| 243 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: In ''Super Bomberman R'', Pink is the Tomboy to Aqua's Girly Girl. It's even reflected on how Pink doesn't wear a skirt, but Aqua does. It should be noted that Pink doesn't have eyelashes while Aqua has one eyelash on both her eyes, an ironic inverse between their color schemes. |

| 258 | * TheDreaded: Even her bother Red is terrified of her when she's angry. This is even reflected in her Grand Prix stats, starting with Bomb Punch and Pierce Bombs to get an aggressive start. ''R Online'' took away her starting Bomb Punch, but has her start with 3 fire instead. |
| 259 | * DubNameChange: Acrobat Aqua in the English ''Bomberman Land Touch! 2'' localization. |
| 260 | * InSeriesNickname: Mizuiro Bom in ''Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden'', Aqua Bom in the Japanese ''Touch! Bomberman Land: Star Bomber no Miracle World'', and Mizu Bom in the Japanese ''Super Bomberman R'' setting, each effectively translating as Aqua Bomb (in reference to the color). |

| 275 | Three miscellaneous Bombermen not part of the Bomberman Bros. |
| 276 | * AscendedExtra: Before all three became playable in ''Hi-Ten Bomberman'', a purple Bomberman appeared an onlooker on the ''Bomberman '93'' Battle Game victory screen (and numerous ones in the warehouse match stage border), and purple and orange Bombermen appeared in the background on the ''Super Bomberman'' Battle Mode victory screen. |
| 277 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: |
| 278 | ** After playable appearances in ''Hi-Ten'', ''Super 2'' (via PaletteSwap), and ''Atomic'' (Orange and Purple only), they have since disappeared. |
| 279 | ** In the ''Anime/BombermanBDamanBakugaiden'' anime, an elderly Orange Bom appears in the first episode as White's trainer, and a voluptuous Purple appears as Shuringe's SecretIdentity. Additionally, Professor Brown/Shadow and Momite Bom are antagonistic, brown Bombermen in the same series. |
| 280 | * FlatCharacter: Unlike the eight main bombers, these three were never subjected to DivergentCharacterEvolution within the canon of the games. |
| 281 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In the games, all three of the Bombers' alignments are not clear, but are stated to be good. In the anime, both Purple and the two Browns are clearly villains (with Purple being TheMole and simply a disguise for the villain Shuringe). |
| 282 | * NoNameGiven: They are presumably named after their colors like the others. |
| 283 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: Purple in ''Anime/BombermanBDamanBakugaiden'', since she is not actually a Bomberman. |

| 292 | * DecompositeCharacter: It's been suggested that he may actually be the Bomberman from the original computer game, but this is unconfirmed. |
| 293 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Oddly enough, the in-game text refers to him as Bomberman. |
| 294 | * IdenticalAncestor: He's supposedly the "Grandfather of Bomberman", and he looks exactly the same save for his jacket, boots, hat, and holster. In ''Bomberman Touch'', Bomberman (as Bomber John) wears similar clothing. |
| 295 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Indy as in, yes, Franchise/IndianaJones. |
| 296 | * OlderThanTheyLook: If [[TheCameo The Cameos]] are anything to go by, his exploits take place in the present day. |

| 304 | ---- |
| 305 | * GadgeteerGenius: She invented four models of the [[CoolBike Motorbomber]], which she supplies to Bomberman. |
| 306 | * {{Expy}}: Role-wise, Dr. Ein fills in the void she left; design-wise, she gets one in the form of Cat Bomber in ''Neo Bomberman''. |
| 307 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: She displays a HeartSymbol next to Bomberman in the ending. |

| 317 | * CaptainErsatz: Of Ayrton Senna. |
| 318 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Only appears in ''Fantasy Race''. |
| 319 | * SuperSpeed: He is a ''racer'' after all, so speed would naturally be a defining trait. According to the manual, he likes running; also, he's noticeably faster with worse controls in-game compared to other characters. |

| 326 | ---- |
| 327 | * BigFun: He sometimes is. |

| 329 | * ChromaticArrangement: With Blue and Green. |
| 330 | * DecompositeCharacter: He's obviously based on the Golden Bomberman (aka Golden Bomber) status that originated in ''Super Bomberman 2'', which was an aesthetic feature to denote who won the previous match. |
| 331 | * DubNameChange: Gold Bomber in ''Bomberman Battles'' / ''Hardball'' and the Japanese ''Bomberman Kart'' and ''Bomberman Land'' games, which isn't to be confused with the aforementioned Golden Bomber. |
| 332 | * FatBastard: He's well-meaning, but somewhat self-centered. |
| 333 | * FatIdiot: A nearsighted, blunt, and obese individual would be a more specific way to put it. |
| 334 | * RichBastard: Specifically he gets all his money from his unseen father. |

| 345 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Very protective of White Bomber in ''Land 2''. |

| 363 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Their official artwork in ''Bomberman '94'' and ''Mega Bomberman'' gives them more canine-like facial features, shorter ears, and more slender bodies. Their final design wasn't nailed down until ''Super Bomberman 3''. |
| 364 | * EvilCounterpart: Warooi in ''Super Bomberman 5'', only ridden by some bosses. Which is just as well, given that [[MasterOfNone he lacks any special ability]]. |
| 365 | * PowerUpMount: The most notable and recurring of such in the series, with the species appearing as ridable in [='=]''94'', ''Super 3'', and ''Super 5''. One green Rooi also appears in select stages to fulfill this role in ''Videogame/BombermanHero''. |

| 376 | ---- |
| 377 | * CanonImmigrant: She first appeared in the Japanese commercials, where she's played by Haruka Sawaguchi, though initially she didn't wear her {{Cowgirl}} outfit. By the time the ''Super Bomberman 3'' commercials rolled around, she started being played by Chiyomi Takahashi instead, and was redesigned into a bounty hunter. She (and Kotetsu) would finally appear in the games themselves with ''Super Bomberman 4'', both as an assist character in singleplayer and as one of the "Cosplay" power-up effects. |
| 378 | * {{Cowgirl}}: Sure dresses like one. |
| 379 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: "Honey" was originally just what the helmetless Pretty Bomber was called during the aforementioned commercials, and she was a brunette because the actress that played her was also one. She'd later get a redesign to distinguish her from Pretty Bomber, which also gave her black hair, much like the new actress playing her. |
| 380 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: To Kotetu. She wields a revolver while he uses a katana. |
| 381 | * OnlySixFaces: Astute fans have noticed her face has a ''striking'' resemblance to un-helmeted Pretty Bomber (seen in ''Hi-Ten'' artwork and the ''Super 3'' password screen). They're also almost never in the same spot at once, and Honey can even use Pretty Bomber's bombs in ''Neo Bomberman'', leading some to conclude she may be ClarkKenting; however, it ''is'' possible to have Honey and Pretty Bomber on-screen together in ''Bomberman Party Edition''. |
| 382 | * PluckyGirl: She apparently just barely scrapes by. |

| 423 | ---- |
| 424 | * BigGood: To a degree where he's stated in ''Fantasy Race'''s manual that he is Bomberman's creator (or, as Bomberman TG-16 shows, he may have just been one of the creators). |
| 425 | * CoolOldGuy: Quite elderly in age, even kinder in spirit. |
| 426 | * {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Mitsumori from the first [=TurboGrafx-16=] game. He's even once claimed to be the creator of Bomberman in the ''Fantasy Race'' manual, implying he may be a redesigned Mitsumori. |
| 427 | ** Also to Dr. Grey Bomber from the ''Bakugaiden'' anime series. |
| 428 | * IWasQuiteALooker: He was a very attractive guy in his younger years as shown in ''Bomberman Jetters''. |
| 429 | * MissionControl: Almost always serves as this. |
| 430 | * TheProfessor: Sometimes called "Professor Ein" to match. |
| 431 | * TheRival: [[spoiler:To Buggler in ''Anime/BombermanJetters''. Both he and Ein were fighting over the love for a female Bomberman named Momo, but she wasn't interested in either of them.]] |
| 432 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Dr. I in Sega's translation of ''VideoGame/SaturnBomberman''. |

| 445 | ->Debut: ''Bomberman 64'' (1997) |
| 446 | ->Voiced by: '''Yasushi Miyabayashi''' (Japanese), '''Peter L. Zadraznik''' (English) |
| 447 | |
| 448 | An ally of Bomberman during ''VideoGame/Bomberman64''. |
| 449 | ---- |
| 450 | * BigBadEnsemble: In ''64'', Altair stole the Omni-Cube from ''him'', and he's really a conqueror himself who uses Bomberman to get the cube back and decides to destroy Planet Bomber after killing Altair. |
| 451 | * DemolitionsExpert: He seems to know an awful lot about Bomberman and how to put his bombs to interesting uses. |
| 452 | * DisintegratorRay: If the first 100 Gold Cards are collected, he uses the Omni Cube as one against Altair and later attempts to do the same on Bomberman. |
| 453 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: In the third level, he comments on how inefficiently Altair is using the Omni Cube. Most would assume this is just [[HandWave writing in a reason for why Bomberman has so much time to stop him]]. Turns out there's a ''reason'' Sirius has such an accurate gauge for how long it takes for the cube to drain a planet's life force- because the cube is actually his and he's used it before. |
| 454 | * ItsPersonal: Claims this is his reason for opposing Altair. Considering the latter stole the Omni Cube from him it makes sense. |
| 455 | * LightIsNotGood: Sirius wears white armor with gold trims and uses Bomberman to take back his Omni Cube. Once this is done, he thanks Bomberman by using the Cube to destroy Planet Bomber. |
| 456 | * LoadBearingBoss: His destruction causes the Rainbow Palace to fall, crashing directly into the Black Fortress and blowing them up in the process. |
| 457 | * SmugSnake: Once the act drops, he's an overwhelmingly condescending prick. |
| 458 | * SpoilerCover: Regardless of how effective his good guy façade would normally be, Hudson seemed hell-bent on letting the player know that this guy should not be trusted, both in the game's manual and in his first boss battle where he tests Bomberman's training, which Hudson chose to title "Friend or Foe?". |
| 459 | * StellarName: He gets the name from Earth's night sky's brightest star, specifically. It also shows that LightIsNotGood. |
| 460 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: Specializes in Big Bombs. |
| 461 | * TransformingMecha: Likes to jump in the air and convert his mechanical wings into a jet. |
| 462 | * TreacherousAdvisor: He presents himself as Bomberman's ally and aids him in reaching Altair's fortress and battling its guardians, but only so that he could steal back his Omni Cube from Altair and then use its power to conquer the universe. When his plan succeeds, he thanks Bomberman by putting "Destroy Planet Bomber" first on his list of things to do. |
| 463 | * TrueFinalBoss: Of ''Bomberman 64''. |
| 464 | * VillainousBreakdown: Once Regulus destroys the Omni Cube, Sirius absolutely flips out, before promptly spamming the same laser that disintegrated Altair earlier as he goes postal in the ensuing two-versus-one battle. |
| 465 | * WalkingSpoiler: He's the true BigBad of ''Bomberman 64''. |
| 466 | * YouExclamation: To Regulus after he breaks the Omni Cube. |
| 467 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: If the first 100 Gold Cards are collected, he says this to Bomberman before he retreats to the Rainbow Palace. |

| 477 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Stole one of the four disks from Garaden, [[spoiler:not even knowing that they hold data to restore Buggler]]. |

| 501 | * BlushSticker: Pretty much every type of Pommy has this. |
| 502 | * CowardlySidekick: Though given his innocent design, one wouldn't expect him to be exceptionally fearless. |
| 503 | * DemotedToExtra: Pommy was a main character and even semi-playable in his debut appearance. |
| 504 | * DubNameChange: His official romanization is still Pommy, but "Pomyu" or "Pomew" would be a closer approximation. |

| 506 | * MilesGloriosus: He will run and hide whenever bosses show up in ''The Second Attack!'', then attribute Bomberman's victory to him cheering him on and boosting his morale. He'll occasionally exaggerate his accomplishments around others as well. |

| 508 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: One of many that dwell in the franchise. |
| 509 | * ShockAndAwe: Not natively in ''The Second Attack!'', but in later games with other Charaboms. |

| 511 | * {{Sidekick}}: What he is most of the time. |

| 564 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns in the Nintendo Switch version of ''Super R'' as DLC. |
| 565 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: He has a RobotAntennae that awkwardly floats out the back of his mohawk in ''Super Bomberman R'', which he lacks in his previous appearances. |
| 566 | * EmergencyTransformation: During a fight with Brain Bomber, Max was badly wounded to the point where he was turned into a bomber cyborg to stay alive. |
| 567 | * {{Expy}}: Of Black Bomberman, Max was basically brought in to be a new rival for Bomberman after Black became more heroic. Both his design and personality are also heavily reminiscent of Regulus. |
| 568 | * {{Foil}}: To Bomberman. While Bomberman tends to be more carefree, Max is stoic, serious, and sometimes arrogant. While Bomberman will usually do as he is told, Max tends to rush off and do things his own way. |

| 570 | * IWasJustPassingThrough: Does this during certain boss battles in ''Bomberman Generation''. |
| 571 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's arrogant and a loose cannon who refuses to follow orders, but he's willing to stop the bad guys and help Bomberman when necessary. |

| 592 | ---- |
| 593 | * AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:Well, he's still an antagonist in ''Jetters'', but he falls more into a friendly and sociable anti-villain role in a stark contrast to his ruthless, malevolent incarnation from the games.]] |
| 594 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:The anime version only. In ''Anime/BombermanJetters'', he's motivated by jealousy towards Dr. Ein, particularly a LoveTriangle the two were involved in with Momo.]] |

| 598 | * BarrierWarrior: Can create shields to protect himself in ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman 3'' and a few other games. He generally uses it immediately after throwing bombs, to avoid blowing himself up. |
| 599 | * BeardOfEvil: He's got a beard and he's a villain. Bonus points as he's also {{bald|ofevil}}. |
| 600 | * BenevolentBoss: [[spoiler:In ''Anime/BombermanJetters'' -- ''especially'' to Mujoe, who he treats more like a close friend than an underling.]] |
| 601 | * BigBad: Of the whole franchise, but specifically in ''[[VideoGame/Bomberman94 Bomberman '94]]'', ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman 3'', ''4'', and ''R'', ''VideoGame/BombermanWorld'', ''VideoGame/BombermanHero'', ''Bomberman Portable'', and several other games, where he tries various schemes to conquer and/or destroy as much of the universe as he can. In addition to all that, the anime ''Anime/BombermanJetters'' depicts him as [[spoiler:the real leader of the Hige Hige Bandits, with Mujoe being his best friend and second-in-command. Ironically, he's not the actual main antagonist of the anime. That honor goes to [[MadScientist Dr. Mechado]]]]. |
| 602 | * BlueIsHeroic: An inverted example, as he has a blue body and he's pure evil. |
| 603 | * [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS Brought to You by the Letter B]]: There's usually a "B" on his forehead. Other times, he has one elsewhere, like his belt. |
| 604 | * CartoonCreature: Though his appearance in ''Super Bomberman R'' is much more human-looking. The game's website states that his body is cybernetic and has been upgraded in the past. |
| 605 | * ColonyDrop: [[spoiler:Attempted with his artificial comet on the reconstructed Planet Bomber in ''Bomberman '94''.]] |
| 606 | * TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:To the Five Dastardly Bombers, and implied he intended to do the same with Bomberman.]] |
| 607 | * CreepyHighPitchedVoice: He's the franchise's most rotten character, and he speaks in a fairly high-pitched voice in a couple of his appearances. |
| 608 | * DarkIsEvil: Goes by the name "[[PaperThinDisguise Dark Bomber]]" in ''Bomberman Wars''. |
| 609 | * EmperorScientist: Calls himself Emperor Buggler in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 610 | * EvilBrit: Sounds like one in the PAL version of ''Bomberman World'' for [=PlayStation=], and again in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 611 | * EvilCounterpart: To Bomberman. [[spoiler:His final phase in ''Bomberman '94'' is a surprise "Bomberman" form.]] |
| 612 | ** Also serves as one to Dr. Mitsumori and Dr. Ein, being one of the only other major characters who's capable of creating true Bombermen, building them for evil rather than for justice. |
| 613 | * EvilLaugh: He's had a few silent ones in ''Bomberman '94'' and ''Super Bomberman 3'', a disturbing and monotone one in ''Bomberman Hero'', and a bombastically hammy one in ''R''. |
| 614 | * EvilSoundsDeep: In ''Bomberman Hero'' and especially the Creator/{{Atlus}} localization of ''Bomberman World'' for [=PlayStation=] ([[InvertedTrope inverted]] in the Japanese version and ''Bomberman Wars'', where his voice is rather high-pitched). |
| 615 | * EvilOldFolks: He's apparently elderly, and to say he's evil is... an understatement. |
| 616 | * EvilOverlord: Fancies himself as the Emperor of Darkness in ''Portable'', and rules empire after empire without fail. |
| 617 | * FinalBoss: If he's the main antagonist, chances are that he serves as the final boss. |
| 618 | * GreaterScopeVillain: |
| 619 | ** In ''Bomberman GB 3'', he doesn't make a personal appearance, but is mentioned to be the creator of Devil Bomber, the BigBad of that game. |
| 620 | ** In ''VideoGame/BombermanHero'', [[spoiler:he is dead for most of the game while the Garaden Empire is trying to revive him, with Devil/Evil Bomber once again being the direct villain]]. |
| 621 | ** Lastly, while he's not seen at all, the fact he created the 5 Dastardly Bombers puts him in this role for ''Super Bomberman 2''. |
| 622 | * HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle in his common design first seen in ''Super Bomberman 3''. |
| 623 | * ItsAllAboutMe: The only person he cares about is himself. |
| 624 | * KneelBeforeZod: [[KnightOfCerebus He]] tells [[SiblingTeam the Bombermen]] to "Bow down before [his] true power!" in ''Super Bomberman R''. They don't. |
| 625 | * KnightOfCerebus: Whatever game he is in, whenever he is on-screen, the stakes raise much higher, and the game's humor and cheerful nature '''drops dead.''' |
| 626 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:His primary motivation in ''Jetters''.]] |
| 627 | * MadEye: One of his eyes starts bugging out after you beat his first phase in ''Super Bomberman 3''. |
| 628 | * MadScientist: He leads a robot army, and his most common character design used from ''Super Bomberman 3'' to ''Bomberman Portable'' is sometimes referred to as Professor Buggler. |
| 629 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: [[spoiler:In ''Super Bomberman R'', his [[https://twitter.com/konamieu/status/836497558704906241 special ability]] is to transform into [[OneWingedAngel Ultimate Buggler]].]] |
| 630 | * TheManBehindTheMonsters: In ''Panic Bomber'', he originally had the title of "''Maou''" (demon king), and his robot army is also composed of a variety of monsters. |
| 631 | * MeaningfulName: His [[SpellMyNameWithAnS most recent name]] in ''R'', Buggler, is a letter off from the British slang word "bugger", which is used to express dissatisfaction or a reaction towards displeasing behavior. He has a [[EvilBrit British accent]] in ''R'', and is also pretty much the BigBad of the franchise. |
| 632 | * ObviouslyEvil: [[BeardOfEvil A large white beard]], EvilEyebrows, [[HighClassGlass a monocle]], a BadassCape, and is openly shown to be leading a force of baddies in several games' openings: all of these should clue you in that Buggler will be the main threat leading the story along. |
| 633 | * PowerFloats: Does this often. |
| 634 | * PromotedToPlayable: In ''Bomberman Fantasy Race''. |
| 635 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:As Ultimate Buggler -- or at least, his one visible eye. His monocle turns yellow.]] |
| 636 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Buglear? Burglar? Bagular? It varies depending on the game and the translation. |
| 637 | ** "''Bagurā''" is his UsefulNotes/JapaneseRomanization, made popular by the Anime-Kraze FanSub of ''Anime/BombermanJetters''. ''Bomberman '08'', a mobile phone version of ''[[VideoGame/Bomberman94 Bomberman '94]]'', also calls him Bagura. |
| 638 | ** Not even Japanese is safe; ''[[AllThereInTheManual Bomberman Maniax]]'' erroneously typed his original appearance in ''Bomberman '94'' as "''Bakurā''" (although it could be argued this was an attempt at making it a DecompositeCharacter). |
| 639 | ** As of the series' revival in ''Super Bomberman R'', Konami seems to have settled on calling him Buggler; however, a [[http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lscreen/307675_440x350.jpg Planet]] [[https://www.konami.com/games/bomberman/r/s/img/ss07_l.jpg Technopolis]] screen spells it as Bugler. Presumably, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugler_(tobacco) there are trademark issues with Bugler]]. However, the UsefulNotes/WiiU UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole release of the original [[UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 PC Engine]] ''Bomberman Panic Bomber'' game (which finally found its way outside of Japan for the first time after ''Super R'''s release) calls him Bugler in the digital manual. |
| 640 | * TeleportSpam: He has the ability to teleport, and uses it often (most notably ''VideoGame/BombermanWorld'' and ''VideoGame/BombermanHero''). It's generally used as an alternative to the shields, as he teleports out of harm's way after setting bombs. |
| 641 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: He'll often use bouncing rubber bombs to trick the player. |
| 642 | * TokenHuman: Although a {{Cyborg}}, because the originally human Guest Fighters (such as Snake and Reiko) were changed into Bombermen, he is the sole human in ''R''. |
| 643 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:The events surrounding his resurrection and his attacks on Planet Bomber and Primus Star in ''Hero'' unknowingly further the plans of Devil Bomber in some manner.]] |
| 644 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: The sole time he's '''ever''' played for laughs is the intro for Atomic Bomber's fight in ''Neo Bomberman''. Every other appearance? He's an absolute KnightOfCerebus. |
| 645 | * WalkingSpoiler: Not so much for the games, where his role in the plot is almost always obvious from the start, but in ''Anime/BombermanJetters'', [[spoiler:where he's the leader of the Hige Hige Bandits and ultimately a decent guy who's extremely bitter over an old rivalry with Dr. Ein]]. |
| 646 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:With Dr. Ein in the anime when they were kids. After falling in love with Momo, however, they had a falling out and are now enemies.]] |
| 647 | * WorthyOpponent: Shows signs of this towards Bomberman in ''Portable'', where he states how impressed he is with how Bomberman defeats him and the progress he makes throughout the game. |

| 654 | |
| 655 | A discarded prototype who's too unruly for his creator. |
| 656 | ---- |
| 657 | * BadassCape: Had it in ''Bomberman GB 3'', but lost it in ''Bomberman Hero'' in favor of bat-like wings. |
| 658 | * BetaTestBaddie: Was created by Buggler like several other bombers, but was abandoned and imprisoned due to his temperament. |

| 663 | * HornsOfVillainy: Has very pronounced ones about as long as his head in his [[spoiler:''Hero'']] design. |

| 668 | * RazorWind: One of his special moves. |
| 669 | * SinisterScythe: Under extremely rare conditions, his wings turn into a burning scythe in ''Hero''. |
| 670 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: While he's never ''seen'' using bombs in battle, the 24 Adok bombs planted on four of the Bomber Nebula's planets belonged to him. |
| 671 | * TrueFinalBoss: Of [[spoiler: ''Hero'']]. |

| 676 | |
| 677 | Buggler's latest creation and right-hand bomber in ''VideoGame/NeoBomberman''. |
| 678 | ---- |
| 679 | * BastardUnderstudy: Like Devil Bomber, he doesn't seem to have a whole lot of respect for his creator, although if his plan is to kidnap Pretty Bomber… can you blame him? |
| 680 | * BattleAura: In the Normal mode, he'll also generate a blast from his body, but it's just temporary invincibility in the Battle mode. |
| 681 | * {{Expy}}: Of Bomber Great. His design is extremely similar, and he even has the same ability! |
| 682 | * GoldColoredSuperiority: Is predominantly blue, but his armor is lined with gold to make him seem more powerful. |

| 689 | An oddball alien who misheard Buggler's name and decided to masquerade as him. |
| 690 | ---- |
| 691 | * BadassCape: As with his namesake, he bears a cape that emphasizes his evil. |
| 692 | * BigBadWannabe: This dude is ''nothing'' compared to the actual Buggler. |
| 693 | * DecompositeCharacter: He's clearly based on Buggler's redesign in ''Panic Bomber'', [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS without the B]]. |
| 694 | * MythologyGag: Bagulor seems to be a dig at Buggler's [[SpellMyNameWithAnS infamous name changes]]. |

| 701 | ---- |
| 702 | * BadassCape: At first glance, it looks almost like a robe of some sort. |
| 703 | * CaptainErsatz: Most certainly a identical clone for Buggler. |
| 704 | * EvilSorcerer: Uses magic in contrast to the professor's science. |
| 705 | * HighClassGlass: Just like Buggler, which further hints at a connection. |
| 706 | * IdenticalStranger: Presumably, but their exact relation is unknown. |
| 707 | * PowerFloats: He floats across the stage, never actually standing on a solid surface. |
| 708 | * TeleportSpam: His main pattern is to teleport in and out of his stage. |

| 712 | |
| 713 | [[folder:General]] |
| 714 | Five villainous bombers who frequently antagonize Bomberman. |
| 715 | ---- |
| 716 | * BallOfLightTransformation: All have demonstrated this ability in ''Super Bomberman 3'' and ''Bomberman Tournament''. |
| 717 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:In ''Super Bomberman R'', it's revealed the reason they're so, well, ''dastardly'' is because Buggler had complete control over them.]] |
| 718 | * EvilKnockoff: Buggler modified them based on Bomberman. The whole plot of ''Super Bomberman 2'' was for them to kidnap the original Bomberman. |
| 719 | * FusionDance: |
| 720 | ** Everyone except Brain Bomber in ''Bomberman Tournament'' does this with a Charabom (against its will). |
| 721 | ** [[spoiler:In ''Super Bomberman 3'' and ''Super Bomberman R'', all five members do this to create a giant mecha for Buggler.]] |
| 722 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:In ''R'', the entire gang does this in the final world after the defeat of Great Gattaida.]] |
| 723 | * OneSteveLimit: Their Japanese name, Kyoaku Bomber 5 Ninshuu (Dastardly Bomber 5), is similar to the criminals of ''Super Bomberman 5'', the 8 Kyoaku Bombers. |
| 724 | * ThePsychoRangers: To the Bomberman Bros. in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 725 | * QuirkyMiniBossSquad: The earliest example in the series. And easily the most notable/recurring. |
| 726 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: Each has a specially-designed bomb, though they don't use them in every appearance. |
| 727 | * UnlockableContent: [[spoiler:After beating ''Super R's'' Story Mode, they can be purchased from the store.]] |

| 733 | ->Voiced by: '''Jack Merluzzi''' (''Super Bomberman R'' (English)), '''Tetsuya Yanagihara''' (''Super Bomberman R'' (Japanese)) |
| 734 | |
| 735 | Often the first fought of the Dastardly Bombers. |
| 736 | ---- |
| 737 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/92f792d780ddeb35e77412c749faaa1f/tumblr_inline_on2wcodmQz1ui0drq_540.png His tininess compared to the rest of the Dastardly Bombers]] combined with his tendency to easily get upset might imply he's the youngest out of the five of them. |
| 738 | * BerserkButton: In ''R'', he's extremely confident in his image as a threatening, powerful Dastardly Bomber. As a result, he immediately snaps at anyone [[JustAKid undermining that.]] |
| 739 | * BlatantLies: When Bomberman confronts him in ''Tournament'', he claims that he was the one who took out Max. The very first cutscene in the game shows that Plasma Bomber was responsible for defeating Max. [=NPC=]s at later points in the game prove that he didn't even defeat Max in their first invasion, as that honor goes to Brain Bomber. |
| 740 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Has "N" and "S" on his boxing gloves in ''R'', presumably standing for the North and South poles of magnetism. |
| 741 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Magnet Bomber's response when the Dastardly Bombers work with the Bomberman Bros. to stop Buggler and save the universe in ''Super Bomberman R''.]] |
| 742 | * HumongousMecha: The Iron Gauss, a giant fiddler crab mech with an electromagnetic cannon for a claw. |
| 743 | * TheNapoleon: In ''R''. Don't insult his height or call him JustAKid. |
| 744 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: Blue in most appearances, white in ''Super R''. |
| 745 | * SelectiveMagnetism: Can use magnetic powers to pull in only bombs, or sometimes Bomberman himself. His bombs are also magnetically charged to be attracted to the player character and nothing else. |
| 746 | ** MagnetismManipulation: [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/829368544458465282 Confirmed]] in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 747 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Is really cocky in his few speaking lines despite always being the first member of the Dastardly Bombers to fall to Bomberman. |
| 748 | * WakeUpCallBoss: In ''Super Bomberman R'', he's the first boss and the player's first exposure to the game's ''ridiculously good'' boss AI, forcing players to adopt an actual strategy to defeat him unlike every single enemy up to that point. |
| 749 | * WouldHitAGirl: To Aqua Bomber in ''Super Bomberman R'', which proves to be his undoing. |

| 755 | ->Voiced by: '''Creator/HisaoEgawa''' (''Saturn Bomberman Fight!!''), '''Jeff Gedert''' (''Super Bomberman R'' (English)), '''Yoshiyuki Hirai''' (''Super Bomberman R'' (Japanese)) |
| 756 | |
| 757 | The rock-solid, fiery member of the Dastardly Bombers. |
| 758 | ---- |
| 759 | * TheBigGuy: With superhuman strength to match, at least in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 760 | * BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: His Golem Bombs are in very limited supply, but their weight combined with his throwing arm means getting hit with them is an instant KO rather than merely being stunned. |
| 761 | * CyberCyclops: In ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 762 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:He befriends Yellow after being defeated in ''R''.]] |
| 763 | * FlunkyBoss: Summons zombie bombers in ''Tournament''. |
| 764 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: ''Saturn Bomberman Fight!!'' states that, surprisingly, he actually has a peaceful nature and loves animals. This is [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/830129927462612993 reaffirmed]] in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 765 | * GentleGiant: He's not always giant, and he's not exactly gentle to Bomberman, but he's otherwise a [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/830141655831318528 pacifist.]] [[spoiler:He also spares Yellow in his pre-boss cutscene because he brought flowers.]] |
| 766 | * HumongousMecha: The Fort Walker, an enormous tortoise-shaped robot with a variety of flamethrowers and napalm missiles at its disposal. |
| 767 | * {{Irony}}: He dislikes anyone who would bring harm to nature despite being heavily aligned with the fire element and serving under Buggler, who occasionally drifts into OmnicidalManiac territory. Somewhat justified in that Golem Bomber is occasionally brainwashed or simply played as DumbMuscle. |
| 768 | * MobileSuitHuman: [[spoiler:Er, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYwde6OrAk8&t=34m10s Mobile-Suit Bomber]], in ''Super Bomberman R.'']] |
| 769 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: His fusion form in ''Tournament'' is a ghost with his computerized eyes. He's capable of spitting fire, summoning zombies, and casting thunderbolts which makes the zombies explode. |
| 770 | * PlayingWithFire: All of his robots/transformations use at least one fire-based attack besides his bombs. |
| 771 | * RoboSpeak: In Japanese, his dialog is sometimes written in katakana, and he has a limited vocabulary. |

| 781 | |
| 782 | The lone female in the Dastardly Bombers. She's a bit of a brat most of the time, but she does have her good moments. She goes by the name Karaoke Bomber in ''Super Bomberman R'' [[spoiler:at first]]. |
| 783 | ---- |
| 784 | * ActionGirl: Sometimes. But [[DarkActionGirl whenever she's an antagonist]]. |
| 785 | * BadassCape: As Karaoke Bomber. |
| 786 | * BreakoutCharacter: Was popular enough to become the most recurring female character in the series, in spite of her status as one of the resident PsychoRangers. |
| 787 | * BrotherSisterIncest: [[spoiler:She flirts very suggestively with Black Bomber in ''R'' even though he's her brother. Justified and subverted, though, as Pretty didn't appear to remember her family when meeting them at Planet Lalaland, and she's wholeheartedly welcomed back as the eldest sister at the end of the game.]] |
| 788 | * TheCameo: Has a couple, such as in an episode of ''Anime/BombermanJetters''. |
| 789 | * CoolBigSis: [[spoiler:Karaoke Bomber was the Bomberman Bros.' eldest sister, Pretty Bomber, before being scrapped.]] |
| 790 | * CrypticBackgroundReference: [[spoiler:The "accident" she had before Pink Bomber and Aqua Bomber were made is never explained.]] |
| 791 | * DamselInDistress: Almost every single ''Land'' game and ''Neo Bomberman'' by Buggler for… [[MissingStepsPlan some reason]]. |
| 792 | * DecompositeCharacter: In ''Super R'', Pretty Bomber's good and evil roles have been separated into two characters; much of her original design along with her heroic traits have been split off into [[ColorCodedCharacters Pink Bomber]] (see "Bomberman Bros." above for more info), whereas Pretty Bomber of the Five Dastardly Bombers has been [[EvilMakeover updated to be more in line with her team]]. |
| 793 | * DreadfulMusician: Apparently has daily "blood-curling ballads" in ''Super Bomberman R'', which her underlings must endure. [[spoiler:She gets better.]] |
| 794 | * DubNameChange: |
| 795 | ** Ms. Flashy in the Platform/VirtualBoy version of ''Panic Bomber'', [[OneSteveLimit Pink Bomber]] in the English localization for Bomberman Kart, and Cute Pink in the English ''Bomberman Land'' localizations. |
| 796 | ** In ''Super Bomberman R'', she is known as [[https://www.konami.com/games/bomberman/r/us/en/character/ Karaoke Bomber]] in English, and [[https://www.konami.com/games/bomberman/r/jp/ja/character/ Sexy Bomber]] in Japanese. [[spoiler:Subverted, as her name really ''is'' Pretty Bomber and she goes by it again by the end of the game.]] |
| 797 | * DudeMagnet: She's shown to have multiple Fanboys in most of the games, more so in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 798 | * EyelidPullTaunt: Does this if the player inputs a wrong password in ''Super Bomberman 3''. |
| 799 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Her heartbroken helmet in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 800 | * FrenchJerk: Technically, as she once represented France as a World Bomber in ''Super Bomberman 3''. |
| 801 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:After Pretty Bomber undergoes her HeelFaceTurn in ''Super Bomberman R'', she changes into an outfit that resembles her original design. Averted in ''Super Bomberman R 2'', where she reverts back to her Karaoke Bomber sona for some reason.]] |
| 802 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Is Bomberman's friend almost as often as she's his enemy. In ''Super Bomberman R'', [[DecompositeCharacter they just cut to the chase]], [[spoiler:eventually pulling off a full HeelFaceTurn in the ending]]. |
| 803 | * HumongousMecha: The Elegant Dream, a weaponized sound system shaped like a butterfly that can amplify her singing to deadly volumes. |
| 804 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: In the credits of ''Saturn Bomberman'', her head is together with Bomberman's under an ''ai-ai gasa'' (lovey-dovey umbrella). |
| 805 | * KaraokeBox: [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/832630192401100800 Her namesake pastime]] in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 806 | * LandmineGoesClick: Her Kareoke Bombs are motion-activated, meaning that while they take a longer time to become active, once they detect someone in their blast radius, they'll go off almost instantly. |
| 807 | * MagicSkirt: As Pretty Bomber. |
| 808 | * MsFanservice: As much as something like a Bomberman could get to this trope, anyway. In her original design, she is quite busty and wears a skirt that shows her legs. Her redesign in ''R'' downplays her figure, though it still draws attention to her legs with a hip-exposing dress or skirt. |
| 809 | * [[SixthRanger Ninth Ranger]]: [[spoiler:Pretty Bomber's identity in ''Super Bomberman R'' is the [[LongLostRelative scrapped eldest sister]] of the Bomberman Bros. She reunites with them in the ending.]] |
| 810 | * NoblewomansLaugh: In ''Super Bomberman R'', at least when set to Japanese. |
| 811 | * OneSteveLimit: Karaoke-Bomber was previously the name of the World Bomber representing Japan (changed to Bomberman) in ''[[VideoGame/PanicBomber Super Bomberman: Panic Bomber W]]''. |
| 812 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: Pink Girl to White's Blue Boy. |
| 813 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Especially as Pretty Bomber. |

| 815 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Is the thought-to-be lost sister of the Bomberman Brothers in ''Super Bomberman R'', which acts as a soft reboot for the series.]] |

| 817 | * SecretCharacter: [[spoiler:In ''Super R'', getting three stars on all story mode stages unlocks Pretty Bomber in the store, although she's just a MovesetClone of Karaoke Bomber at a higher price.]] |
| 818 | * ShipTease: Very much so in the ''Land'' games. |
| 819 | * SmittenTeenageGirl: In the ''Land'' series. |
| 820 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Is always the one female in the Five Dastardly Bombers. |

| 830 | The brains of the Dastardly Bombers. [[AdaptationNameChange Renamed]] Phantom Bomber in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 831 | ---- |
| 832 | * AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:Brain Bomber was the only Dastardly Bomber not to undergo a HeelFaceTurn and became the BigBad of a future game. Phantom Bomber, on the other hand, does turn good with the rest of the Dastardly Bombers.]] |
| 833 | * BigBad: Of ''Bomberman Tournament''. |
| 834 | * {{Brainwashing}}: [[spoiler:To Max in ''Tournament''.]] |
| 835 | * TheChessmaster: |
| 836 | ** In ''Tournament'', he reviews how the Dastardly Bombers' failed invasion of Phantarion went and devises a new strategy which counters and shuts down the inhabitants' resistance, leaving the planet for easy pickings. This strategy works so well that the Dastardly Bombers end up having full control of the planet for over a year before Bomberman finally shows up to thwart them. And even then, he planned for such interference and even succeeded in taking down Max when he was sent first. [[spoiler:He even adds a brainwashed Max to said contingency, knowing full well that Bomberman would follow.]] |
| 837 | ** Towards the end of ''Super Bomberman R'', [[spoiler:he manages to figure out a way to turn Buggler's own black hole against him after his HeelFaceTurn]]. |
| 838 | * TheCracker: Is stated to be one in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 839 | * TheDragon: Apparently the second-in-command as he was the only one other than Plasma Bomber to lead the team, and always the last one to be fought before Plasma Bomber when he isn't the leader (with ''Super R'' being the sole exception). |
| 840 | * TheDreaded: Various characters in ''Tournament'' refer to him as a cruel and terrifying monster. |
| 841 | * EvilGenius: His bio on the official ''Super Bomberman R'' website states that he may be even smarter and more cunning than Buggler. |
| 842 | * {{Expy}}: His fight in ''Tournament'' borrows a lot of elements from Buggler. |
| 843 | * FinalBoss: The last boss in ''Tournament''. |
| 844 | * HumongousMecha: The Mystic Hatter, a machine that uses HardLight from the projectors nearby to create impenetrable armor. |
| 845 | * MadScientist: He used a giant robot based on White Bomber in ''Super Bomberman 2'', and was in the process of making the Ultimate Weapon in ''Bomberman Tournament''. Additionally, the manga in the Japanese ''Super Bomberman 2 Hudson Koushiki Guidebook'' credits him with inventing the remote-controlled bombs. |
| 846 | * MasterOfIllusion: His Phantom Bombs allow him to place fake bombs to corral his opponents right where he wants them to be. |
| 847 | * PowerFloats: Whether it's due to mental power or technology is unknown. |
| 848 | * TheStrategist: Considers himself the strategic mastermind. His actions in ''Tournament'' seem to back this claim. |
| 849 | * TookALevelInBadass: And HOW. He goes from an absolutely laughable boss in ''Super Bomberman 2'' (see ZeroEffortBoss below) to the final boss of ''Tournament'' and a reasonable threat even without the use of a giant robot or Charabom fusion. |
| 850 | * TrapMaster: [[https://twitter.com/Konami/status/831908507838410753 Apparently]] in ''Super Bomberman R''. |
| 851 | * ZeroEffortBoss: In ''Super Bomberman 2'', he moves very slowly and his bombs are at the weakest power and blast radius possible. Of course, his mech from the second phase averts this. |

| 863 | * CurbStompBattle: Delivers one to Max in the ''Tournament'' opening cutscene. |

| 898 | |
| 899 | The leader of the Four Bomber Kings. |
| 900 | ---- |
| 901 | * BadassCape: He could give ''Buggler'' a run for his money with the cape he has. |
| 902 | * BattleAura: Activates temporary invincibility as his special move. |
| 903 | * TheDragon: He is Bagular's main servant in ''Super Bomberman 4'' as the one directing the Four Bomber Kings. |

| 915 | * EpicFlail: Hammer's left arm is a giant flail (called his "hammer"). |
| 916 | * SpectacularSpinning: He spins his "hammer" to attack. |
| 917 | * WarmUpBoss: Being the first of the Four Bomber Kings to be fought in ''4'', he doesn't pose much of a threat. His hammer spin move leaves him a sitting duck for a couple seconds, and simply [[SetSwordsToStun stuns you momentarily]] while knocking away a random powerup. |

| 958 | |
| 959 | An eccentric middle-aged human who dresses like a wrestler. He is the leader of the High High Bandits with ambitions of galactic conquest. |
| 960 | ---- |
| 961 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He seems to have a very deep relationship with [[spoiler:Buggler himself, making this a VillainousFriendship at the very least.]] |
| 962 | * BadassBoast: In ''VideoGame/BombermanGeneration''. |
| 963 | * BigBad: In the games where he appears, specifically ''Saturn'', ''Max 2'', and ''Generation'', wherein he leads the High High Bandits in trying to take over the galaxy through various plans, and the ''Jetters'' game where he outright tries to destroy Planet Bomber. [[spoiler:In the anime, he's TheDragon to Buggler.]] |
| 964 | * DubNameChange: Mr. Meanie in Sega's translation of ''VideoGame/SaturnBomberman''. It didn't stick. |
| 965 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In ''Bomberman Jetters'', he has a huge crush on Mama, a female alien bartender who seems to reciprocate. The Bomber Shitennou from the same anime also act as his children, more or less. |
| 966 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In the ''Anime/BombermanJetters'' anime he's not above lying, cheating and deceiving to get what he wants, but ''outright murder'' is one of the things he won't do. [[spoiler:Merely thinking that he was the one responsible for Mighty's death is enough to make him have an internal crisis which is not played for laughs at all.]] |
| 967 | %%zce* EvilIsHammy: '''''So. Very. Much.''''' |
| 968 | * {{Expy}}: Of Carat Diamond from ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman''. |
| 969 | * {{Faceship}}: Has a spaceship called the [=ArmorJoe=] in ''VideoGame/BombermanGeneration'' and the ''Anime/BombermanJetters'' anime. |
| 970 | * AFatherToHisMen: Acts like this towards the Hige Hige Bandits, and more like a true "father" for the [[QuirkyMiniBossSquad Bomber Shitennou]], especially Mermaid Bomber. |
| 971 | * HeelFaceTurn: Slowly does this over the course of the anime. |
| 972 | * LargeHam: Whenever he's voice-acted, he's going to be this. ''VideoGame/BombermanGeneration'' and ''VideoGame/BombermanJetters'' are standout examples. |
| 973 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite his massive muscles, Mujoe tends to use mechas to battle Bomberman. The only exception is in ''Bomberman Jetters: Game Collection'' where Mujoe uses his strength to toss other characters. |
| 974 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Mujoe bears a strong resemblance to ''Wrestling/HulkHogan.'' |
| 975 | * NoIndoorVoice: One must wonder if his dialogue script was written in CapsLock. |
| 976 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: In the ''Jetters'' anime he's surprisingly competent and shown to be quite a shrewd individual when chips are truly down [[spoiler:after Mechadoc usurps the Hige Hige Bandits]]. Besides the fact he, albeit indirectly, was the one [[spoiler:who took down Mighty for good]] shows that he could be very dangerous with the Hige Hige machinery if he lacked any morals. |
| 977 | * PetTheDog: In the anime, he let No. 398, one of the Hige Hige Bandits, stay with his family during Dr. Mecado's attempted takeover. |
| 978 | * RealMenWearPink: In ''VideoGame/DreamMixTVWorldFighters''. |
| 979 | %%zce* TheRival: Most likely to Bomberman. |
| 980 | * SinisterShades: It's very rare that he takes them off. |
| 981 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: As a battle character in ''Bomberman Jetters'' games. |
| 982 | * ATwinkleInTheSky: Pulls off an inexplicable cosmic backflip in the ending of ''Bomberman Generation'', even though he was nowhere near the explosion's proximity. |
| 983 | * TheUnfought: He's generally this -- justified because he probably doesn't stand a chance in a direct fight against Bomberman, and he knows it. He ''does'', however, fight you in ''VideoGame/SaturnBomberman'' (albeit in a GiantMecha), and then he shows up as the [[spoiler:[[TrickBoss first of two]]]] TrueFinalBoss[[spoiler:es]] in the ''VideoGame/BombermanJetters'' console game. Okay, he fights you [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Robotnik style]], but it still technically counts. In the ''Bomberman Jetters'' console game and ''Bomberman Jetters: Game Collection'' for Game Boy Advance, he is a character in battle mode who fights directly. |
| 984 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Deliberately invokes this image. |

| 995 | * {{Expy}}: Of Dr. Mook from ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman''. |
| 996 | * {{Faceship}}: Has a blimp with the likeness of his face in ''Saturn Bomberman''. |

| 998 | * KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: In the ''Jetters'' anime he eventually becomes this, losing all of his humorous quirks and becoming a downright terrifying villain.]] |
| 999 | * LosingYourHead: In ''Saturn Bomberman'', his head jettisons out of his body to board his {{mecha}}. |
| 1000 | * MadScientist: Could potentially give Buggler a run for his money, at least if he stepped out of Mujoe's shadow. |

| 1016 | * TheGoomba: Depending on the game. They sometimes share this role with Balloms. |
| 1017 | * MechaMooks: Zig-zagged. It's never really said what they are, but there seems to be a production line pumping them out in ''Saturn Bomberman''. |
| 1018 | * PerpetualFrowner: Their default expression. |
| 1019 | * PromotedToPlayable: In ''Saturn Fight!!'', ''Fantasy Race'', and the ''Jetters'' console game's multiplayer mode. |
| 1020 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: Nice neckerchiefs. |

| 1022 | * ThoseWackyNazis: Not ''actually'' Nazis, but their black attire and behavior can bring this to mind. |

| 1543 | * GenieInABottle: His lamp is alive to, in order to hurt Aladdin Bomber you have to blow it up. |
| 1544 | * NonIndicativeName: Is he might have interacted with a genie, but Aladdin himself was not a genie like Aladdin Bomber is. |

| 1555 | * HiredGuns: For Mujoe in ''Generation'', to keep Bomberman from foiling his plans. |
| 1556 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: Are the main villainous minions of the game. |
| 1557 | * TheRival: Ein tells Bomberman that they are "our rivals", so they apparently have some sort of history with the BOMB Research Laboratory. |
| 1558 | * SpellMyNameWithAThe: All members except Bomber Elite refer to themselves in this way, with Beauty Bomber calling herself "the mistress Beauty Bomber" and Assault Bomber calling himself "the master Assault Bomber". |

| 1572 | * {{Expy}}: Of Hammer Bomber from ''Super Bomberman 4''. |
| 1573 | * FlatCharacter: Other than he's really strong and dumb as rocks, there's nothing interesting about him. The Japanese dub also doesn't emphasize these traits as much as the English dub, making him even more uninteresting. |
| 1574 | * RedBaron: The "Strength" of the Crush Bombers. |
| 1575 | * RhinoRampage: One of his attacks involves charging at you at a high speed. |
| 1576 | * ShockwaveStomp: When half of his health is depleted, he hits the ground with his flail, making a shock wave that not only stuns and damages Bomberman (about one big Heart), but also makes him drop whatever bombs he is carrying at the moment, including Big Bombs. |
| 1577 | * SmashMook: What he ultimately is: a living force of brute strength with the mentality of a minion. |

| 1586 | ---- |
| 1587 | * AssKicksYou: Her main method of sending bombs after you is to hit them with her butt, which sends them bouncing after you. |
| 1588 | * BrattyHalfPint: A petulant individual that seems very spoiled. |
| 1589 | * {{Expy}}: Of Lady Bomber from ''Super Bomberman 4''. |
| 1590 | * FemBot: Though it's not clear whether she's purely a robot or not, this trope still counts, as she has a... very noticeable female chest. |
| 1591 | * ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Controls a trio of floating laser rockets that serve as mobile {{teleportation}} devices, produce protective [[LightEmUp light]] [[BarrierWarrior barriers]], and weapons for attacking the player at will. |
| 1592 | * NoblewomansLaugh: Does this in her introduction. |
| 1593 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Follows this trope loyally, as her outfit is mainly pink in color. |
| 1594 | * RedBaron: The "Symbol of Love and Beauty" and the "Red Jewel" of the Crush Bombers. |

| 1604 | The blue falcon of the Crush Bombers. |

| 1607 | * DeathFromAbove: One of his moves has him fly over the stage and carpet bomb a large area. |
| 1608 | * EvilLaugh: Does one of these from time to time. |

| 1621 | |
| 1622 | The reaper of the Crush Bombers. |
| 1623 | ---- |
| 1624 | * AxCrazy: From his psychotic attacks, his entrance in a freaking ''giant meteor'', his maniacal laughter, to his deploying bombs that could level a small town with no semblance of accuracy, and trying to pump Bomberman full of lead, you could tell that he has more than just a few screws loose... |
| 1625 | * BloodKnight: There's a reason why he's called the "Reaper" of the Crush Bombers. |
| 1626 | * CyberCyclops: Has only one visible eye. |
| 1627 | * {{Expy}}: Of Bazooka Bomber from ''Super Bomberman 4'' |

| 1630 | * MadBomber: There's a Bomberman, and then there's Assault Bomber, who's a walking arsenal and an absolutely deranged monster. |

| 1633 | * RedBaron: The "Reaper" of the Crush Bombers. |
| 1634 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Assault Bomber seems to love this trope, from his psychotic attack patterns, to his entrance in which he enters the arena in a ''giant meteor'' that crashes into the center of the arena then explodes. |
| 1635 | * TriggerHappy: The first thing he does when meeting Bomberman is empty a whole cartridge of ammunition while trying to shoot him. And then he proceeds to carpet-bomb the place during his boss battle. |
| 1636 | [[/folder]] |
| 1637 | |
| 1638 | [[folder:Bomber Elite]] |
| 1639 | ->Debut: ''Bomberman Generation'' (2002) |
| 1640 | ->Voiced by: '''Creator/AkiraIshida''' (Japanese) |
| 1641 | |
| 1642 | The leader of the Crush Bombers. |
| 1643 | ---- |
| 1644 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:His defeat provokes this reaction from Bomberman, [[SparklingStreamOfTears as he was seen wiping away a tear in mourning.]]]] |
| 1645 | * BadassCape: The only one of the Crush Bombers to have this. |
| 1646 | * BallOfLightTransformation: He enters the arena in this manner. |
| 1647 | * BattleAura: Most of the time he's surrounded by a bluish aura that protects him until he does a certain attack, after which it drops and leaves him vulnerable. |
| 1648 | * BigBulkyBomb: What sets him apart from other Bombermen is that he only deploys Big Bombs. Which can make his boss battle a bit difficult since he has a tendency to make them invisible and you happen to discover one of those bombs... |
| 1649 | * CrossdressingVoices: Is voiced by a female voice actor, despite being male. It's especially noticeable in the English dub, causing people to see the character as a girl. |
| 1650 | * DisappearsIntoLight: How he's defeated compared to the other Crush Bombers. |
| 1651 | * TheDragon: To Mujoe in ''Generation'', as he leads the Crush Bombers who Mujoe has sent to kill Bomberman. |
| 1652 | * EnergyBall: Two of his attacks invoke this trope - one is a large, dark energy ball that sucks in everything and grows over time before exploding. The second has him create four energy balls surrounded by psychic electrical fields that cover almost the entire stage. |
| 1653 | * {{Expy}}: Of Bomber Great from ''Super Bomberman 4''. Both wear a BadassCape and have a BattleAura ability that makes them invincible. |
| 1654 | * FriendlyEnemy: Despite being on the opposite side, Bomber Elite is a lot nicer than his fellow Crush Bombers and notably less hostile towards Bomberman. He will even ask if he's okay after doing a really powerful attack, and apologize and say he'll take it easier on him next time if he wins the fight early. |
| 1655 | * JustToyingWithThem: At first. He uses the bare minimum of his powers on Bomberman for his own amusement. However, once his health is down to one heart... |
| 1656 | ** IAmNotLeftHanded: He'll pull out all the stops and his boss difficulty ramps up several times over. His attacks become a lot harder to avoid as well. |
| 1657 | * LarynxDissonance: Though Bomber Elite is clearly voiced by a woman in English, the character is referred to in dialogue as "he". (Elite's Japanese voice is [[Creator/AkiraIshida male]], although one with a softer and lighter tone (as seen in [[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22381881 this NicoNico video at around 1:50]]). It should also be noted that Japanese Elite uses the male-associated first-person pronoun ''boku''.) |
| 1658 | * LastNameBasis: The only Crush Bomber to do so. |
| 1659 | * MesACrowd: Able to produce two identical clones that also wield psychic powers. You won't be able to spot the real one unless you throw a bomb at them. |
| 1660 | * MindOverMatter: Most of the things he does are based on this. |
| 1661 | * OccultBlueEyes: Has blue eyes, and wields supernatural powers not found in any Bomberman character. |
| 1662 | * PowerFloats: Because of his psychic powers, he often levitates across the floor instead of actually walking. Once his health is at one heart, he starts rising into the air through psychokinesis. |
| 1663 | * PsychicChildren: His voice seems to indicate he's young, though we never find out his age. |
| 1664 | * SuckingInLines: One of Bomber Elite's attacks involves this trope; he makes an EnergyBall that tries to draw in Bomberman before it explodes. Luckily, he gives off a warning while this happens. |
| 1665 | * WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:Sees Bomberman as this since he expresses joy at being defeated before fading away. It is slightly implied that many others have tried to defeat him in the past, but they all failed. He'll even quietly plead that he's "so lonely" if he wins the fight late.]] |

| 1829 | [[folder:Smuggler]] |
| 1830 | |
| 1831 | A mysterious, shady robot who markets and sells Balloms as pets. His attempt to create artificial scarcity to drive up the prices leads to the Balloms absorbing negative emotions from the population and going berserk as a result. |
| 1832 | ---- |
| 1833 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: Despite being a humanoid enemy in the final level of a world and making it seem like the encounter will progress in the matter of the previous [[OneWingedAngel Dastardly Bomber fights]], he's smushed into a pancake by the approaching Marbled Balloom instead with barely a struggle. |
| 1834 | * BigBad: Of the Planet Bomber world that was added in a later update and set months after the main story is completed, with him behind the rampaging Balloom incident. However, he's not the final opponent to be faced. |
| 1835 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's certainly lacking in morality and perfectly willing to just leave Planet Bomber in chaos after pinching every penny he can from its residents. The main cast call out just how scummy and amoral his practices are. |
| 1836 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Sure, he probably didn't ''plan'' on having the Balloms go out of control and attack the populace, but he wasn't going to come clean and admit his wrongdoings to lose all of his money either. The heroes find him in the middle of packing up and planning to flee to Planet Brainwave, in order to hide out and simply wait for the crisis to settle itself, uncaring of anyone hurt by the Balloms (and then essentially repeat the process on another planet). |
| 1837 | * NeverMyFault: He blames the citizens of Planet Bomber for having so much negative emotions which the Balloms absorbed leading to them going berserk. Even though he was directly responsible for these emotions existing in the first place due to him hiding his stock to artificially inflate demand and profits. |
| 1838 | * OracularHead: His entire head consists of a glass dome that houses a strange, swirling, purple smoke within it. Made all the stranger is the fact that due to the way his art looks, it's hard to tell whether his eyes are on the outside of the glass or actually ''inside'' the casing. |
| 1839 | * PrecisionFStrike: He drops the only instance of swearing in the game. Granted, it's just the word "damn." |
| 1840 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He only appears at the very end of World 7 before he is crushed and consumed by the Marbled Ballom, though he is briefly shown to have survived after the creature is defeated. |
| 1841 | * TheUnfought: Smuggler is introduced in all of one scene and taken out by the real main threat of the extra episode, the Marbled Ballom. |
