Bomberman

Battlemode Tips
There is an easy way to get rid of your rivals in Rock Garden and
other playfields. Hold B and then press A to pick up a bomb. Then
bank one off someones head, and while they are still dizzy pick
'em up and throw 'em off!
Also, if you die and become a ghost, if you ran into another
player you will hang on them and you will be able to control them
for a while. Use this advantage to make the players run into
bombs and (hopefully!) cause a draw.
Bomberman Parts
Several Bomberman parts are scattered throughout the game. Here's
how to find them:
-
- Knight Armor - You already have it when you start.
- Drill Arm - This battle mode item can be found on Black
1. It is at the very end of the 5th room on the median.
In order to get there you must fall from one of the
platforms, onto the median, and bomb jump your way up 2
more medians. The remote is helpful. Blow up the box at
the end of the room and the drill arm is yours.
- High Tops - In the blue resort. In level 3 under the
bridge that has a box under it and a blue guy on bridge.
- Dragon Head - Green ??? - As shown in the final credit
sequence, create a bomb staircase up to the teleporter in
the first section. The teleporter will take you to
another small room which contains this costume piece.
- Iron Goggles - Red ??? - There are three metal doors one
the first level, all of which need red bombs to open.
This costume piece is located inside the door which is
connected to your starting platform. There is a small
ramp right before it, so you'll have bomb jump to enter.
- Chicken Head - White 1 - On the final section of this
level, there is a cottage with a snowman on top, which
you need to destroy to reach the switch activating the
ski lift. Don't blow up the house. Destroy the snow man
with little bombs. Then use the small ledge to create a
bomb jump to the top of the house. There will be a small
platform to the right of the house with one tree (the
costume piece). After getting the piece, fall off the
platform to the left (towards the moutain).
- Samurai Head - N/A - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.
- Dragon Mail - Green 3 - On the first section, you'll
notice a teleporter across a bit of water, which you
can't reach at first. Get the detonator, and remove all
the blocks in that area. Then put a bomb in the elevator
(don't detonate it yet!). Then put two large bombs, one
on top of the other, against the wall, as close to the
edge of the platform as possible. The easiest way to do
this is to face the wall and throw the bombs. Then use
the elevator to go up, and line yourself up with those
bombs. Then carefully walk off and push in the direction
of the teleporter. If all goes well, you should bounce
off the bombs and into the teleporter.
- Iron Armor - White 1 - Go the way of the avalanche. At
the very top of the second section is a cottage. Blow it
up with a big bomb. On the other side is a tree with the
costume piece.
- Cat Suit - Blue 3 - After draining the water, it is in
one of the pots near the edge, under a bridge (where it
was previously underwater).
- Cat Hood - N/A - To get the cat hood go to that hole in
the building where you can get throw a bomb in to get
jems,That is the Entrance! Set up some Bombs that lead
from the stairs to this window, you don't need to stack
Em. once in the house just steer towards the pot!!
- Dress - Black 3 - The instructions to get this piece are
actually in the credit sequence. On the second section,
there is an elevator block which is seemingly
unreachable. Complete the section as normal, and activate
the first elevator. Going up will take you to a suspended
platform with three planks. Walk of the last plank, and
you should fall on top of one of the four sections below.
Use a couple small bombs to bomb hop from one section to
another, until you find the other section. This secret
section is rather large, but isn't to difficult. The
costume piece is near the gold card, I believe.
- Rocking Horse - Red 3 - Getting to this costume piece is
fairly easy compared to some of the others. At the very
end of the level, there will be a platform which you need
to make fall by destroying the supporting pillars. Before
you do that, fall through the hole it will eventually
plug. This costume piece should be in a furnace block
real close by. Use the tracks to escape the area.
- Shogun Kimono - N/A - Beat the game with 120 cards.
- Knight Shoes - N/A - Given to you at the beginning
- Dragon Spikes - Green 3 - On the last section of this
level (with the big tower), on the far wall of the
structure, facing away from the teleporter which brought
you here, is a secret entrance. It looks like a wall, but
you can walk through it. You can find it by pulling the
camera in as close as possible, and standing next to the
wall. Rotate the camera until it is inside the building.
There will be two pots in there, one of which is the
Dragon Spikes.
- Iron Sneakers - White 3 - Go through the right door once
you start. When sliding down the slide, it is in a tree
to the far left (opposite side than the switch).
- Cat Paws - Red 3 - There is only one metal door on this
level, and the cat shoes are behind it. The red bomb is
actually in the barrel which is close to the door, but
don't blow up the barrel which you need to walk there by
accident. If you do, just leave the area and come back.
- High Tops - Blue 3 - On Cliff, after first dam (get it
beforehand)
- Bunny Socks - Black 3 - In the second section, there is a
[::] switch. On a wall right next to it are a couple
blocks. One of them wil have the costume piece.
- High Heels - N/A - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.
- Knight Sword - N/A - Given to you at the beginning
- Dragon Gloves - Green 1 - After receiving the Red Bombs,
head towards the second section, and enter the teleporter
on the left (which is obscured behind a wall). You will
need the Red Bomb to blow up the blue pillars. After
going through the teleporter, this costume piece will be
easy to find in that room.
- Iron Nuckles - Blue 1 - This one is easy. It is in the
same room as the switch which opens the exit.
- Slash Claws - Red 1 - Knock down the planks to go the
alternative way. Near the exit, you will find yourself
right above a single block on a short railroad track.
kick a bomb off your higher ground, but use the R-button
to stop it as soon as it leaves the platform. It should
land right on top of the piece. After the explosion, drop
down and get the piece. Use the broken tracks to fall
down to the bottom level.
- Chicken Wings - White 3 - Once first starting, head
through the white door. This costume piece will be easy
to find, but the strange view might make it seem harder
than it is. The costume piece will be out on a ledge in
that section, and somewhat hard to navigate to.
- Fan - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.
- Pony Tails and Duck Feet - You can find these custom
parts in Rainbow Palace in Stage 3. In the main room, in
the wall closest to the small stair case in the ground,
there is an opening in the wall. You go through the wall
and use a bunch of bombs to work your way through the
platforms in the sky until you reach a large platform
with two blocks that can be blown up. After they are
blown up, the Pony Tails and Duck Feet are yours.
- SunGlasses - The sunglasses are hidden on Black Level
5-3. To get them is not easy. First you must hit the
panel on the floor that has 2 dots on them. You then go
across and hit the panel on the floor that has 4 dots on
them. Proceed back and then hit the panel with 3 dots on
it. Now here comes that hard part. If you are facing
straight(right after you get off the elevator) go and
take the path that appears when you hit the panel with 3
dots. Go up the stairs when you get to them. The best way
I found to do this part is this: 1. Put two big bombs on
top of each other against the wall on the other side. 2.
Place another big bomb just a little bit away from the 2
big bombs. 3. Make a bunch of little bombs leading back
to the wall on the other side, but make them the right
distance so that you can bounce from one bomb to another.
Go back up the staircase that you went up before and jump
on to the bombs you just laid out. If you did it right
and get a little lucky. You will bounce across and end up
on top of the other side. If you made it, head for the
elevator and continue down the paths until you're by the
other elevator. You will see that there is a floor now
connecting the two other floors. A lot of people must
have wondered how to get those there. Go across those
floors and you will find a box. Blow up the box and
you'll get it!!
- Duck Float - This custom part can be found in Stage 1 of
Rainbow Palace. First you must reach the switch using a
bunch of bombs. Once you get the switch, a few platforms
will move, letting you reach the exit. Before going to
the exit, reach the last platform in front of it and pump
a bomb (remote bombs are a must). Throw the bomb onto the
platform directly to your right. Pump another bomb and
throw it to the platform after the first to your right
and lastly, pump one more bomb and throw it onto the last
pumped bomb so that it bounces off a lands on another
platform (the one closest to the custom part). Then you
jump on the first bomb (just fall onto it and let
yourself bounce to a platform. DON'T tilt the joystick
while you do it or you'll bounce off a fall down). You'll
bounce to the next bomb and then to a high platform. Fall
from there to your other bomb and you'll land on the
platofrm where there's a block that contains the Duck
Float. I found it useful to get a heart item first
(usually from Blue Resort) before you try this. Drop a
bomb in front of the block and detonate it. Your heart
item will protect you from the blast and the Duck Float
is yours (it's probably much easier to fall and die after
you get this than to work your way back).
- Golden Armor - Beat Bomberman 64 on hard mode with 120
gold cards in under 3 hours. This will give you a gold
suit, which includes: gold visor, gold suit, gold shoes,
and gold gloves.
Bonus Battle Levels

same thing in Hard mode. Good luck!
Bonus Battle Levels - Japanese Version
If you have the import version of Hudson's Bomberman 64, you can
find some cool hidden battle levels.
You need the Hudson JoyCard 64 controller for this to work. Go
to the title screen, put the "Slow Switch" on position
Hu and wait five seconds. You should now hear a sound that
confirms that the trick worked. Choose Battle Mode and you can
access four new secret stages.

Bonus Level
To access the Rainbow Palace, collect all 100 Gold Cards and beat
Altair again.
Easy Way to beat Altair
When Altair combines with his ship at the beginning kick a bomb
at him and he will be dizzy. Go up to him and pick him up (like a
bomb) and throw him off the edge and you win! I beat him in 5
seconds doing this.
Endgame Bonus
Get all the Gold Cards then beat Sirius in the Rainbow Palace.
Now go to the Options screen and select Options. Congratulations!
You may now preview the ending and credits whenever you want. You
can also play two new levels in battle mode.
Full Power Option
Collect all 120 gold cards. Then, a "Full Power"
selection will appear on the options screen. This option allows
any level to be started with maxed out Red bombs, and the remote
item.
Hidden Jewels in Blue Resort
When you see a house with a window open, toss a pump bomb in the
window and wait for it to explode.
How the Gold Card system works
For each of the first or third stages of a level, there are three
cards that can be found by blowing up boxes. Before you begin a
level, or when it is paused, there is a display of how many gold
cards you have found or have yet to find. In the display, the
cards you get by blowing up boxes will fill up the first three
spaces. The next space is for the enemy card, which can be gotten
on the 30th enemy killed in any stage. The last card is the time
card. You will recieve it automatically if you beat the stage
within the target time.
Maxed out Mode
Get all 120 gold cards and go to the options menu. The last ?????
will now be replaced by a new option. With this option on you can
start any level with red bombs, remote bombs, eight bombs, and
almost every bomb power you can get in the game.
Quick Recover
When Bomberman is dizzy, move the analog stick around until he
recovers.
Secret Areas in White 1
Make your way to the place where the wind blows. Climb to the
second level of that area and and get close to the wall and
change your camera angle. You will see an area with a lot of
plants. Walk through the wall into this area and blow up the
plants. You will find lots of dimonds and power-ups.
To find the other secret, destroy the ice covering the sign
and read it. It will warn of avalances. You have to cause an
avalance to get here. So go to the top of the hill [the one on
the left when you start] and place a bomb at the very top. When
it explodes, you'll have to run!!! Run to avoid the falling snow.
When it clears up, run to the top and then go fall onto the
platform with the snowman on it. Run to the wall and rub on it
until you find a passage. On easy mode there's a powerup, and on
the hard mode there's a custom piece.
Secret Room In Snow Land
This trick really serves no purpose except to spy on a snowman.
Go to the Snow level. On level one in the first room, go create
the avalanche. When the avalanche is gone, go up all the way to
the top of the hill, and fall left off the edge. There is a
snowman on the ledge, but don't bother with him. Go strait up. In
the corner you can go into a little secret room, and watch the
snowman! It doesn't help that much, and if you blow up the far
wall, you get a prize, but that's pretty much it.
Sound Test
To access a sound test option, beat the game in Adventure mode at
normal difficulty.
Special Traps
Highlight battlemode and press START very, very, very fast until
you hear a chime. Go to battle. mow go to options. Put battle on

Weird Flying Trick
In Black 3 (the third level in Black Fortress), in the begining,
when you first start, go to the side platform where there is a
heart. Blow up the box and kill the fire-blower thing. Get the
heart. Then, set off the alarm by:
- stepping on the switch and crossing to the other side
- when you've crossed, go to the right where there is a
little path of red (currently) squares that lead to an
elevator.
- step on one of the RED squares.
- The alarm will sound. Since you have the heart, this
should work. Put down a bomb and stand on it. When it
blows up, you should start to float when you try to walk.
It's pretty cool.
Once you've done this, step on the switch marked "."
after crossing back over to de-activate the alarm.
Weird Skating Trick
For this trick, you MUST have a heart, and remote bombs help. In
Black Fortress, on the level with the cars, stand on the very
edge of a platform, and place a bomb, but don't move. The bomb
should be underneath you. When a car is coming, detonate the
bomb, and hopefully you will lose your heart, go spinning around
like always when you lose a heart, and fall off the platform into
the path of the car while you are still flashing. Once you have
stopped flashing, you can move around, but Bomberman's legs will
not move! He looks like he is standing still, but moving!
Unfortunately, you can't throw bombs like this, only kick
them, so just grab your heart again, and run into a car so your
heart flies out, and run along to get it again. It's not much,
but it looks pretty cool.
