** The Gl..., the game's second boss, can be defeated only by having a bomb be hurled right into its eye. Since its eye is located up above Bomb Chicken's level, it's mandatory to lay a stack of bombs and push it at the boss's direction to ensure that bombs will be high enough to hit the eye.
** [[spoiler:The final boss can be defeated only by blowing up the tumors that appear all over its body, and then blowing up the gemstones that pop up in place of tumors after the explosion. After all gemstones are shattered, the boss's head falls onto the ground, allowing the Bomb Chicken to target it directly.]]

You can lay multiple bombs in order to reach high platforms or get over obstacles, kick bombs to trip switches or kill enemies, and much more...but all of it comes with a risk.
