Baron Bombano (ボンバーノ男爵, Bonbāno Danshaku) is a boss from Super Bomberman 5. He is one of the members of the Fiendish Bombers.
Description[]
He wears a large purple cape and has a yellow mustache. He is one of three possible bosses of Zone 4. He rides Warooi in his boss fight and his abilities include being quick, creating Skull and Geta items, and having bombs with the Full Fire. He can also create other items, because his arena has no Soft Blocks and is one of two bosses in Super Bomberman 5 to have an arena with no Soft Blocks, the other being Terrorin, which is an advantage to the player. He takes 4 hits to defeat (6 in 2P mode) and yields a score of 5000 points. Upon his defeat, a Tracing Bomb will appear.

Trivia[]
- If the player becomes "diseased" from the Skull item, they can pass it along to Baron and make his ability backfire.
- Despite the nickname "Baron", he is a criminal impostor. However, he is a baron because of his high rank in the group.
- He is Bomber Woof's master.
- His Japanese name can also be read as "Bonbā no Danshaku," meaning "Baron (of) Bombers", though it's corrected as "Bonbāno Danshaku", meaning "Baron Bombano".
- His mustache can be a reference to Sergeant François Bertrand, otherwise known as the Vampire of Montparnasse Cemetery, who is a high-ranking sergeant baron of the voltigeurs of the French Army's 74th Regiment.
- Baron Bombano is the true strongest member of the Fiendish Bombers, so strong he can overpower Muscle Bomber, Plunder Bomber, Dave Bomber, Gary Bomber, Pirate Bomber and Iron Mask Bomber all together at the same time because his stats are higher.
- As mentioned earlier, because of his high rank in the group, Baron Bombano is the true leader of the Fiendish Bombers. In addition, Baron Bombano has the highest seniority of the group, and he's also the oldest, too, because of his age and maturity, along with his high intelligence, as well as having nobility, due to being far more controllable and reasonable of his actions, unlike Plunder Bomber, who has very little to no control of his actions, which caused the incident of Bomber Woof biting Plunder as punishment for attempting to steal his collar, which, in turn, caused Baron Bombano to strip Plunder's rank of leadership and made him the ex-leader and false strongest member. This makes Baron Bombano the smartest member of the gang.
- Interestingly, despite all of his surprisingly impressive powers and abilities, Baron Bombano also has a kinder and more caring side to him. While he does respect Dave, Gary, Muscle, Pirate, Iron Mask and Plunder to a fair degree, he is very loving towards Bomber Woof, his pet dog, and in return, Woof is always by his side. And lastly, Baron Bombano sees and even treats Subordinate Bomber as a son, to which in return, Subordinate always treats and sees him as his own father, as it's obvious that Baron Bombano is Subordinate Bomber's daddy. Curiously, Bombano also treats the whole gang like a family, much to Terrorin's appreciation. In conclusion, all of this reveals that Baron Bombano has both a strong sense and code of honor.
