Pyramid Head Bomber is a DLC Bomberman in Super Bomberman R, based on the Pyramid Head character from the Silent Hill franchise.
Biography[]
Also known simply as the "Pyramid Thing," this mysterious Bomberman roams the wastelands of the fog-shrouded Planet Silent-Hill.
He possesses an immortal body and fearsome super-strength, and the blade of the great knife that he drags behind him is almost as long as he is tall. For this blood-curdling executioner, even the other horrific creatures that inhabit Planet Silent-Hill are no more than prey for the taking.
He can use his his great knife to kill other Bombermen, the Five Dastardly Bombers, excluding their mechas, and other enemies. He is immortal and only articulates through growls and grunts. He looks very similar to Pyramid Head, except for his more Bomberman-like limbs, and the iconic pink ball on his head.
Considering the mature content, shocking imagery and strong violence that the Silent Hill series is well known for, Pyramid Head Bomber is very out of place in a family-friendly Bomberman game. However, he does not share the violent and sexual behavior of Pyramid Head in Silent Hill 2.
Trivia[]
- A similarly cartoonish version of Pyramid Head had previously appeared in Konami's New International Track & Field for Nintendo DS.
