Red Bomberman (officially known as Red Bomber) is a recurring character in the Bomberman series. He mainly appears as a skin to make more multiplayer choices available.
Personality[]
He is shown to be very passionate about pretty much everything, especially battling. In Super Bomberman R, Red Bomber is shown to be hotheaded and reckless.
Notable appearances[]
Red Bomber appears in Bomberman (TG-16) and Bomberman '93 as part of Black Bomberman's gang. Along with Blue, Green, and Yellow Bombers, he helped Black Bomberman in his evil ways until they were defeated by White Bomberman. In later appearances, he is a supporting good character.
Bomberman (TG-16)[]
Red Bomber is fought in the last stage along with the other Bombermens. He moves quickly and randomly. If he lines up horizontally or vertically with Bomberman, he will speed up and move in his direction as long as Bomberman is in his sight. He cannot place bombs, but he will harm Bomberman on collision.
Periodically, Red Bomber will stop moving and transform into a ball of fire, shooting one or two fireballs in random directions, which will harm Bomberman and detonate bombs on collision. While on fire, he is invincible, and will detonate bombs on contact. After some time, he will stop and revert to his ordinary form.
Red Bomber takes 2 hits to defeat and is worth 1000 points.
Bomberman '93[]
Red Bomber is fought on Planet Techo as part of the Black's Cycle Gang and rides what appears to be an early Motorbomber. He moves quickly and randomly, charging at Bomberman on sight and harming him on collision. Occasionally, he will place a Land Mine Bomb, which has a Fire range of one. He takes 2 hits to defeat and is worth 2000 points.
Super Bomberman 4[]
Red Bomber is sucked into the black hole along with his friends in Super Bomberman 4. He is captured by Hammer Bomber and can be freed from his Cage to help the player. He will drop bombs to help destroy Soft Blocks and monsters.
Super Bomberman R[]
In Super Bomberman R, Red Bomber appears as a playable character and makes appearances during the story events. Here, he is portrayed as an impulsive hot head, often jumping into battle without thinking first.
B-Daman[]
In Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden and Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden Victory, Red Bomber appears as one of the protagonists. This is one of few occasions in media where Red Bomber is portrayed as a girl, which also occurred in certain manga.
Land[]
In Bomberman Land, Red Bomber appears as a palette swap as usual, but in Bomberman Kart and Bomberman Land 2, Red Bomber is instead depicted as a baby (complete with pink cheek-blushes and yellow pacifier). He is absent in later games.
Trivia[]
- In Super Bomberman R, Red Bomber is portrayed as an impulsive hot head, often jumping into battle without any quick thinking; this is also further proved by the flames emitting from his eyes. He also blows through the wall in Magnet Bomber's base.
- When Red is waiting in Story Mode, Battle Mode and Grand Prix Mode in Super Bomberman R, he does a pose as a taunt while saying either "Never fear, Red's here!" or "Justice is absolute!". This was an idle animation unlike the other Bombermen.
- Red Bomberman was voiced by Jeffrey Manning, who did the voice of the narrator.
- Red Bomberman appears in the Konami's strategy mobile game, Kingdom Dragonion.
- According to Red Bomberman's Super Bomberman R profile, it is revealed that he dislikes backbiting.
- When Mega Bomberman was in development, Red Bomber was originally going to fall asleep as his idle animation during a match (as with White, Black, and Green Bombermen). However, this was scrapped later in the game's development. This trait was later used by White Bomberman in other games where he used to sleep during his idle animation, including the intro for Saturn Bomberman.
- Red was originally planned to be a girl in the main series as evident by one of Super Bomberman 's CMs at the :29 mark, but the idea gets scrapped afterwards. In addition, the B-Daman Super Bomberman card depicts Red Bomber as a girl.
- This may also be the reason why Red Bomber in the B-Daman anime is a girl.
