-Karaoke Bomber, Super Bomberman R



Pretty Bomber (Also known as Karaoke Bomber in Super Bomberman R) is a recurring character in the Bomberman series. She is the only female member of the Dastardly Bombers as well as the World Bombers. She was originally one of the first main antagonists of the series, but was later depicted as a love interest to Bomberman.

She is also nicknamed "Cute Pink" in the English releases of the Bomberman Land series.

Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

At some point in the past, she was involved in a plot on planet Phantarion in which the Dastardly Bombers fought against the world's army and severely wounded Max before being forced back.

In Super Bomberman 2, she and the rest of the Dastardly Bombers captured the original Bomberman, but he broke free on their ship. Pretty Bomber appeared as the third boss of the third world, utilizing Heart Bombs. In her boss machine, she did not openly attack Bomberman unless he broke the hearts that her machine created. She was defeated, and fell to Earth alongside the wreckage of her ship.

In the PC Engine version of Bomberman: Panic Bomber, Pretty Bomber returned as one of the last opponents alongside Golem Bomber. She also reappeared in Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W as a wandering combatant. Believing herself to be the sole survivor of the Dastardly Bombers, she interrupted Bomberman's fight with the World Bombers in order to challenge him and avenge her comrades.[1]

She returned in Super Bomberman 3, revived by Professor Bugglar, her master. Pretty Bomber controlled Bubble Star and guarded the blue Mother Computer Chip. She later returned to battle in the combined mecha at the end of the game, but was bested again and left inside the exploding Battleship. She was also a playable World Bomber in Battle Mode (representing France).

In Panic Bomber, Pretty Bomber is after the Gold Bomber statue, and attacks Bomberman after he has defeated Count Dracu-Boom in battle and gained access to the artifact. She goes by the name "Ms. Flashy" in the North American version of the game.

In Neo Bomberman, Pretty Bomber is kidnapped by Bugglar for unknown reasons. After being rescued by Bomberman and Black Bomberman, she flees. Pretty Bomber also appears as a rival racer against Bomberman, Black Bomberman, and Bugglar in Bomberman Fantasy Race.

In the first Bomberman Land, she appears as a minor antagonist that engages in mere mischievous acts. Bomberman tracks her down on more than one occasion to reclaim the goods she steals.

In Bomberman Tournament, Pretty Bomber finally reunites with her old comrades and returns to Phantarion as the second boss, causing water pollution from Pretty Base. She tries to stop Bomberman for the last time, fusing with Pommy Sea to become Pretty Balloon, but is defeated and forced to flee.

In Super Bomberman R, She's the missing 9th member of the Bomberman Bros. And the older sister to Pink,Blue,Red,Yellow, Aqua, and Green. she went missing after an accident until she's resurrected as Sexy/Karaoke Bomber by Bugglar. After beating the game she goes back into being Pretty.

In subsequent games, Pretty Bomber is depicted on much more friendly terms with Bomberman, and treats him as almost like a good childhood friend.

Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.

Personality

As a villain, Pretty Bomber is a calculated opponent who relies on her charm to confuse and trap foes.[2] She appears as both a member of the Dastardly Bombers' schemes and as a rival to Bomberman in other ventures. In the Land sequels, Pretty Bomber is a fierce and confident competitor, but her sweet and generous side enabled her to befriend Bomberman.

Stats

In Super Bomberman 2, Pretty Bomber is fought face-to-face. She actively pursues Bomberman unless bombs are nearby, at which point she will focus on hiding from potential explosions until the danger is gone. Her stats are as follows:[3]

  • HP - 3
  • Bombs - 3
  • Fire - 4
  • Speed - Fast
  • Weapon - Heart Bomb

Powers

  • Heart Bomb - Heart shaped bombs that hover about randomly, causing chaos. During the mecha battle in Super Bomberman 3, Pretty Bomber's Heart Bombs take on the form of two spinning hearts that shoot across the screen in opposite horizontal directions, constantly exploding.
  • Karaoke Bomb - This bomb, introduced in Super Bomberman R, goes off if Bomberman gets too close.
  • Pretty Bomber also retains the same general abilities that the other Dastardly Bombers have: Becoming a ball of light and fusing with Karaboms.

Trivia

SB2UnusedHeartBomb
  • In Super Bomberman 2, Pretty Bomber's Heart Bombs do not animate. However, there are unused tiles in the game that show a normal pumping animation for her bombs. These probably do not appear in-game because the bombs never intentionally stop moving, so the Heart Bombs always take the form of moving sprites, not stationary tiles.
  • After her original death in Super Bomberman 2, there is a moment of silence rather than the usual victory music.
  • In Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W, her battle music is of a flamenco style, and she doesn't have a known homeland.[1]
  • In Super Bomberman 3, she also appears in the password screen. Entering a wrong password will have her taunt the player, but entering it correctly will reveal Pretty Bomber's face, showing that she looks like a normal human. The first time she appeared without her helmet was actually in materials for the obscure Hi-Ten Chara-Bomb, although her features greatly resembled the later character Honey.
  • In Saturn Bomberman, graffiti of her head and Bomberman's under an ai-ai gasa (or "lovey-dovey umbrella") can be seen in the credits.
  • Until Saturn Bomberman Fight!!, Pretty Bomber was the only Dastardly Bomber available as a playable character.
    • She still is the first member of the Five Dastardly Bombers to be playable, and one of two to be playable before Super Bomberman R. The other one is Golem Bomber.
  • In Super Bomberman R, Pretty Bomber's name in Japan is Sexy Bomber, but for unknown reasons, it was changed to Karaoke Bomber over here.
    • It's most likely due to making the game more appropriate to younger audiences.

Boss Forms

  • Mask Change - The sun-shaped robot she uses in Super Bomberman 2.
  • Gammebook - Her fighting robot seen in Super Bomberman 3.
  • Gattaida - The combined mecha faced at the end of Super Bomberman 3.
  • PrettyBalloon - The result of Pretty Bomber fusing with Pommy Sea in Bomberman Tournament.
  • Great Gattaida - Combined with the other 4 members during the 1st phase of the final boss in Super Bomberman R
