In Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W, it is the last non-boss enemy to appear. It piles up blocks into high stacks on the left and right sides of his field, and uses the middle area to create combos.[2]
Trivia[]

- BakeBake bears some resemblance to The Groke from the Moomin series, but it closely matches to her obscure 1960 depiction, Licky-Licky.
