Bomberman Generation takes full advantage of the powerful new console and offers players an all-new, adventure-based Bomberman experience. As Bomberman, players must navigate lush, cel-shaded 3D environments across five separate worlds each with 16 different areas as they attempt to stop the nefarious Hige Hige bandits.

Players will have to move fast to strategically drop bombs, blasting open new pathways leading to each level boss. Bombs can be combined with different elements to reveal new powers revolving around water, ice, wind and light. Bomberman Generations features a fast-paced single player mode and multiplayer mode which returns Bomberman to its classic 2D grid-style design, for up to four players.

Gameplay Hints

Easy kills in battle mode:
This trick requires PK Bomber to be enabled. After winning the set number of matches, obtain the Power Glove (icon with the blue glove) from the soccer mini-game. Enter a level where the Bombermen start out on the four corners of the map. When the battle begins use the Power Glove to throw a bomb over the edge of the stage. The bomb will land directly where the other bomber started and most of the time trap them only about five seconds into the map. Note: This trick will not work if there are spaces for the bomber to hide behind or if the bomber stands in place at the start of the stage, allowing the bomb to bounce over his head.

Go to standard battle in multi-player mode and get a Full Fire, Bombkick and Bomb Controller. Kick the bomb and wait until it gets to a place where you can press B and easily defeat a player. Get out of the way of the bomb first.

Defeating Beauty Bomber:
Beauty Bomber is the mid-level boss of World 2. Whenever Beauty Bomber bumps a bomb at you, let it bounce off your head and she will compliment you by saying "Nice!" or "Yeah!". When she does her Trio Of Lights attack (when she has one and a half hearts), touch one of the lights. Beauty Bomber will booty bump you in the face and say "Oops", as if it were an accident.

Defeating the final Boss:
You need the Light Bomb and Water Bomb. When the Boss is not solid, throw a Light Bomb at it. If you throw a Light Bomb at one of the bomb elements when it is not solid, it will not damage the boss. Use a large Water Bomb and throw it at the ring of fire that surrounds the Boss. Then, use a large Water Bomb to attack him. He will remain solid after he is surrounded by fire.

Defeating the three-headed bird:
Use the following trick to defeat the three-headed bird in Area 5-4. Instead of using Light, Fire, Wind, or Ice Bombs, use large Water Bombs, since fire is weak against water. His attacks are slow so they are easily avoidable. After you defeat him, you will receive a Purple Bomb element.

Keep items:
When you die in the normal game, do not continue. Either way, you will start over at the beginning of the level. If you continue, you will start with level 1 fire, bombs and speed. If you do not continue and just reload your file, you can keep the current levels of your fire, bombs and speed before you started the level.

Red Skull Bomb:
Go into the Battle game and choose standard mode. When you get to the stage selection screen, make the yellow glove appear in the game. Select any stages. Then, you have to get it in the game. Use any bomb then pick it up and hold it by holding A (as if you want to get a big bomb in the Normal game). It will appear as if it is about to explode. Do not worry about it. After a while, it will turn into a red bomb with a skull on it. It has a range of 3x3.

Glitches

Wrong word in manual:
On page 10, the description for the first world says "... to damn up rivers…".

Misspelling:
When you attempt to leave a stage before completing it, you receive a message that you will lose everything that you collected in the stage. If you notice, it tells you that you will lose things such as "lightening cards".

At the title screen before it says "Bomberman Generation", the game will go through the story. Allow the story to go through and on the sixth sentence the voice will say "The time is cosmic year 2000x" but the words at the bottom of the screen reads "The time is cosmic year 200x".

World 5-2 is titled "Phsyco Elevator". The correct spelling is "Psycho".
