Yeah, Weapons is a bad name since they're not all weapons. You can have two
weapons equipped at once, one to A and one to B, and only two bombs can be on
screen at once. Bombs with cross style explosions only damage things on the
ground, whereas circular explosion bombs can damage anything; so when I suggest
using Flak Bombs, it means you can use anything with a circular explosion.
|
Normal Bomb |
Goes off in a +
pattern.
Your default
weapon, and will be definitely used the most.
[Location:
You start with it] |
Ice Bomb |
Anyone caught
in its blast is frozen for a short time.
Quite handy, and
is used to defeat Grein. Cross style bomb. [Location:
Ice Shard + Explosive Core] |
|
Poison Bomb |
Anyone caught
in its blast moves slower for a short time.
A cross style bomb. [Location:
Poison Ivy + Explosive Core] |
 Short-fused
Bomb |
Bomb that goes
off faster than a normal bomb.
Only "bobs" once before exploding. A cross style bomb. [Location:
Clock + Explosive Core] |
|
 Long-fused
Bomb |
Bomb that goes
off slower than a normal bomb.
"Bobs" eight times before exploding. A cross style bomb. [Location:
Clock + Explosive Core] |
 Rubber Bomb |
Bomb that
bounces when thrown.
By "bounces", it means goes an extra tile, sometimes in a different
direction, when thrown or kicked. A cross style bomb. [Location:
Rubber + Explosive Core] |
|
 Wide-range
Bomb |
Bomb with a
blast radius that gets larger the longer it is held.
It's a pretty pointless bomb, considering it takes forever to get to a
decent length. A cross style bomb. [Location:
Gotten from Balballoon] |
 Skull Bomb |
Blast produces
various effects for a short time in those caught in the blast.
These effects include either freezing them or slowing them down. Cross style
bomb. [Location:
Skull + Explosive Core] |
|
 Landmine |
Bomb that goes
off when stepped on by a monster (but not Bomberman).
One of the more useful bombs, lasts about two or three seconds before
expiring. I recommend not increasing it's flame. Cross style bomb. [Location:
Gotten from Kurin] |
 Flak Bomb |
Bomb that also
affects flying monsters.
Useful until you realise all other circular explosion bombs affect flying
monsters. [Location:
Gotten from Shelterine] |
|
 Homing Bomb |
Bomb that
chases after nearest monster when kicked or thrown.
Kicking it is pretty pointless, since it moves slow, but throwing is pretty
good. Circular explosion. [Location:
Gotten from Pinokion] |
 Speed Bomb |
Weighs less
than other bombs so can be kicked or thrown further.
It's pretty pointless, really, except for one puzzle. Circular explosion. [Location:
F3] |
|
Aqua Bomb |
Bomb that can
be used underwater.
Circular explosion. [Location:
Gotten from Krabbler] |
 Robot Bomb |
Bomb that can
be moved as long as the button is held down.
It moves slow and has a circular explosion, and you're motionless while
using it. You can imagine how useful that is. [Location:
Show cards to man in E5] |
|
Right Bomb |
Bomb that
curves to the right when kicked or thrown.
I honestly can't see where this would be useful. Circular explosion. [Location:
Boomerang + Explosive Core] |
Left Bomb |
Bomb that
curves to the left when kicked or thrown.
Ditto.
[Location:
Boomerang + Explosive Core] |
|
Yo-yo |
Can be used to
move bombs. I
guess this would be useful if you misplaced your bomb, but that's all I can
think of. [Location:
Gotten from Burol] |
!? |
Press the
button to see Bomberman dance!
Dance in front of the Bomberman statues, and you'll be rewarded with items. [Location:
Gotten from Devil Ant] |
|
 Shovel |
Used for
digging holes. Sometimes you might find a Mini-heart!
See the Cheats section for what you can dig up. [Location:
Gotten from Digadug] |
 Shield |
Protects
Bomberman from arrows launched by traps.
Why bother when you can just jump or fly over them? [Location:
Gotten from Trent] |
|
 Gauntlets |
Allows
Bomberman to throw bombs as well as knock out nearby enemies.
It's essentially a close range Yo-yo and Tackle Belt in one. And it's
clearly boxing gloves, not gauntlets. [Location:
Gotten from Yeti] |
Wings |
Allow Bomberman
to fly for a limited time.
Definitely one of the more useful abilities. There's no reason to use the
Jump Shoes once you've got this. [Location:
Gotten from Jackenboxx] |
|
 Jump Shoes |
Allow Bomerman
to jump. Useful
at first, but totally redundant once you've got the wings. [Location:
Gotten from Curansee] |
 Dash Shoes |
Allow Bomberman
to walk faster as long as the button is held.
A truly optional item, but I love it. Mostly used for running over
collapsing tiles. [Location:
Gotten from Onil] |
|
 Power Gloves |
Allow Bomberman
to pick up and throw bombs and monsters.
Only certain monsters, though. [Location:
Gotten from Mechabomb] |
 Hammer |
Used to pound
nails and can be used to knock out monsters.
The Gauntlets are better for close-range knocking out imo. [Location:
Gotten from Despider] |
|
 Remote
Control |
Bombs become
remote control bombs--push the button to detonate them.
Annoyingly, you have to have this and a bomb equipped, or else you'll just
have a detonator for nothing. Also, both bombs detonate at once, instead of
in order of placement. [Location:
Hurricommander: A3] |
 Tackle Belt |
By activating
the switch on this belt, Bomberman can stun monsters by ramming into them.
The description is wonky, but hold the button and he sprints forward,
stunning monsters and can also push buttons. [Location:
Gotten from Borey] |
Armours can be used again and again, but you can only use one at a time.
|
 
Silver Armour |
Reduces all damage by half
when worn.
Once you get this, you should
essentially keep it on all the time unless you need something else, until
you get the superior Gold Armour.
[Location: E1] |
 
Gold Armour |
Reduces all damage by
three-fourths while worn.
See what I mean? It essentially
triples your health.
[Location: H8 (Glasses)] |
|
 
Platinum Armour |
Protects Bomberman from the
effects of Ice Bombs, Poison Bombs, and Skull Bombs.
This is pretty pointless in the
quest, unless you've a habit of running into your explosions, but can be
handy for multi-player. What's with the M on it?
[Location: Gotten from
Pygmin] |
 
Teleport Armour |
Teleports Bomberman to a
random location when he is damaged.
I guess this is best if you want
a head start at running away, but why? You just lose a full block of health
unlike with Silver or Gold Armor.
[Location: H5] |
|
 
Steel Shoes |
Very heavy shoes that prevent
Bomberman from being thrown by enemies.
Why would you want to avoid being
thrown when you can barely walk? Save it for the puzzles.
[Location: C3 of Water
Commander's lair] |
 
Sneakers |
Increase Bomberman's walking
speed.
Anything's better than his
default snail's pace, but it doesn't quite match the Dash Shoes.
[Location: Gotten from
Torton] |
|
Rocket Shoes |
Greatly increase Bomberman's
walking speed.
These match the speed of the Dash
Shoes, but you're vulnerable to heavy damage. Just keep the Dash Shoes.
[Location: G3 (Glasses)] |
 
Combat Boots |
Allow Bomberman to kick bombs.
Be careful-- kicked bombs can't be stopped!
The distance they are kicked
seems to fluctuate. Sometimes it's just one tile, sometimes it's to the
other side of the screen.
[Location: B1] |
|
 
Safety Shoes |
Protects Bomberman from all
dangerous surfaces.
Dangerous surfaces, so no,
you can't walk over pits or water.
[Location: Gotten from
Ghostey] |
 
Glasses |
Allows Bomberman to see hidden
items while worn.
Why is it called Glasses when
it's clearly a monocle?
[Location: Gotten from
Crystal Demon] |
|
 
Power Bracelets |
Allows Bomberman to move
rocks.
And move them very easily as
well. No struggling or anything.
[Location: Field: Aquatic
Mine] |
 
Scuba Gear |
Allows Bomberman to move
freely underwater.
And on water as well. Amusingly,
he doesn't swim, he still walks and jumps and flies.
[Location: Gotten from
Grein] |
|
 
Helmet |
Protects Bomberman from
falling rocks and from being knocked out.
More of a safety precaution, you
can get by falling rocks easily if you're fast.
[Location: Gotten from
Gargoyle] |
 
Lamp |
Allows Bomberman to see in
dark places.
Amusingly, it doesn't light up
the cave in G1. You can also avoid using the lamp by pausing and unpausing,
as it lights up everything for a split second.
[Location: Beach Cave1] |
|
Full Fire |
Increases bomb firepower to
maximum for as long as it is attached.
Essentially a replacement for
using Flames, but that's it.
[Location: Gotten from
Full Fire] |
 
Leather Armour |
Halves damage dealt by Chaos
Bomber.
He's such a big cheese he gets an
armour dedicated to only his attacks.
[Location: Gotten from
Walking Hat] |
Bomb
Components are used to enhance or create new bombs, and are all one-time use.
|
Rubber |
Using this with the Explosive
Core gets you the fairly useless Rubber Bomb.
[Location: Gotten from
Blobby, Forest Cave A] |
Clock |
This, fused with an Explosive
Core, can get you one of two bombs: The Long-Fused Bomb, and the Short-Fused
Bomb. [note]
[Location: G1, gotten from
Seeballon, A5 (!?), A1 (Glasses)] |
|
Ice Shard |
The Ice Shard fused with the
Explosive Core leaves you with the handy Ice Bomb.
[Location: Gotten from
Iceal, C6 (dig)] |
Poison Ivy |
Combining this with an Explosive
Core nets you the Poison Bomb.
[Location: Dig in the very
bottom left of G6, gotten from Snaky] |
|
Boomerang |
The Boomerang is another
component with multiple results; the Right Bomb and Left Bomb.
[Location: Gotten from
Gell, E7 (dig), B8] |
Skull |
The Skull maintains it's negative
effect by getting you the Skull Bomb.
[Location: Gotten from
Killer Moth, B6 (dig)] |
|
Explosive Core |
You can't make bombs just with
random items alone, you need something to make them go boom.
[Location: Gotten from all
Commanders, Radiobomb Jr., Baddo, Hippity-Hop ; C4 (dig), G1 (!?)] |
Flame |
Flames, when combined with bombs,
either lengthen their distance (cross style bombs), or increase the amount
of time the explosion lasts (circular explosion bombs).
[Location: Gotten from
Tinklebear, Hoopster, Flyball, Puuyan, Mad Flower, Ballom, Parse; D4 (dig)] |
Items are all one-time use items, except for the Flute, and you can only have
one of them in your inventory, so be careful.
|
Armored
Jacket |
Make
Bomberman invulnerable for a short time.
In the other
games this is called the Flameproof Jacket, and only keeps you protected
from bomb flames, so you get a good deal with this now. It lasts a little
over 15 seconds.
[Location:
Gotten from Skullhead, C5 (Glasses)] |
Stopwatch |
Stops traps
for a short time.
Note that it
says it stops traps, not enemies. This means that it's usefulness is
round about zero, considering traps can be evaded easily with the right
tools. It doesn't help matters that it only stops traps for around 5 to 6
seconds.
[Location:
Gotten from Fruity, B3 (!?)] |
|
Flute |
Returns
Bomberman to shuttle when used.
And you can do
that as many times as you want, wherever you want; even in boss battles
(excluding Chaos Bomber)! And why is it called a Flute when it's clearly an
Ocarina?
[Location:
You start with it.] |
Heart
Mini-heart |
Restores up to three health.
These are always handy to have,
especially with the armour, as it can double or even triple the health you
get!
[Location: Any enemy
you've beaten before]
Mini-hearts only refill one unit
of health, but can be found just about anywhere.
[Location: Anywhere, using
the Shovel] |
|
Full Heart |
Restores health to max level.
These are even better. Full
health! The bad part is that they're very rare, and only come from certain
enemies.
[Location: Gotten from
Pengy, Sandey, F7] |
White Card |
Trading card with a picture of
Bomberman White.
One third of the only fetch quest
in the game.
[Location: Gotten from
Archer] |
|
Black Card |
Trading card with a picture of
Bomberman Black.
And another third.
[Location: Gotten from
Matango] |
Honey Card |
Trading card with a picture of
a pretty woman.
And the last part. Once you've
got them all, show them to the old man on E5, the lower right of Peace Town,
and he'll give you the Robot Bomb.
[Location: Gotten from
Shadow Knight] |
