Name: Bomberman

Debut: Bomberman

Yup! It’s him.

It’s true! This right here is a weird Mario enemy! One of the very weirdest, in fact, as you can see. Take it to the bank, boys. This one’s just like Bomberman.

So why is a straight up Bomberman a Mario enemy? For a very silly reason! For Western releases, Bomberman GB was reskinned as “Wario Blast! Featuring Bomberman”. I just love that title. Don’t be silly! This isn’t a Bomberman game, it’s a Wario game through and through! That Bomberman fellow is just a special guest star. Wario could make you a minor character in your own autobiography.

The game has the classic Wario gameplay we all know and love, consisting of moving around in a top-down perspective, placing bombs in order to destroy blocks, find power-ups, and defeat opponents.

The game actually lets you play as Wario OR Bomberman, which is pretty nifty! Bomberman, or more accurately, Madbombers, are the enemies Wario faces. Wario’s goal is to rob Bomberland, because of course it is.

If you choose to play as Bomberman, your task is to defend your home by... also fighting Madbombers? It makes sense, I swear! The Madbombers actually take the appearance of the character you’re not playing as. So when playing as Bomberman, you fight a bunch of hilarious tiny Warios.

Making good progress with my Super Bomberman R models! Getting some great advice and encouragement from the art channel on the SBR discord server ( http://discord.gg/bXZjaZR )~
