''Bomberman Tournament'' (''Bomberman Story'' in Japan) is a 2001 installment in the ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' franchise for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance. The game differs from the usual game format by being more ''Bomberman'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' (similar to ''VideoGame/BombermanQuest''), with a side of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. It does, however, retain the classic multiplayer.

* MarketBasedTitle: ''Bomberman Tournament'' is known as ''Bomberman Story'' in Japan. It's a more fitting title, since "Tournament" would imply more emphasis on online multiplayer with singleplayer that boils down to "multiplayer with bots". However, this game is more "''Bomberman'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' with a side of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''" in terms of the singleplayer, not that some people even bother with singleplayer in a ''Bomberman'' game.

The Five Dastardly Bombers from ''[[VideoGame/SuperBomberman Super Bomberman 2 and 3]]'' invade planet Phantarion, and Max is sent to investigate. When Max disappears, Bomberman is sent to find him, fight off the Dastardly Bombers, and save Planet Phantarion.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Max]].

* DragonAscendant: For some reason, Brain Bomber becomes the BigBad.

* MutuallyExclusivePowerups: Setting MarineGon (who gives you Line Bombs) renders you unable to throw bombs.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The "Five Dastardly Bombers"

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "[[{{Mons}} Charaboms]]" in ''VideoGame/BombermanMax'', then "Karabons" in this game, then back to "Charaboms" in ''VideoGame/BombermanGeneration''.

* HealingPotion: Instead of hearts, Bomberman uses these to regain health. (That being said, certain NPCs will give you [[{{HeartContainer}} Heart Containers]] if you can find them and/or do something for them.)

* SpinningOutOfHere: Each Karabon has its own special ability that can help Bomberman when exploring (some are passive, others need to be activated manually). Pommy (your first ally and a CaptainErsatz of {{Kirby}} and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]) has the ability to transport Bomberman to any (major) town he's previously visited. Using this power causes Bomberman to spin rapidly before he's launched into the sky and lands in his intended destination.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In order to access a boss room, Bomberman must fuse together two Karabons into a new Karabon whose power can unlock the door. However, the boss will then proceed to use that Karabon's power to transform themselves into a giant mutant monster for the ensuing battle. (Also qualifies as a bit of a Catch22Dilemma.)

* PlotCoupon: The four medals obtained from the first four bases [[spoiler:that open the way to the last dungeon]].

* LethalLavaLand: Golem Base and its surrounding area is this, with a touch of BuildLikeAnEgyptian and (further out) ShiftingSandLand.
