Bomberman Land Wii (ボンバーマンランド Wii), known as simply Bomberman Land in North America and Pal regions, is a video game for the Nintendo Wii. Unlike most Bomberman titles, this one features a collection of motion-based minigames instead of the usual grid-like action.
Demo[]
A demo of the game was playable at the Nintendo booth during the 2006 E3 gaming convention. The demo featured three minigames used to demonstrate the Wii Remote's functionality. These minigames included Mountain, Pierrot, and Space Tube. In the Mountain minigame, the player uses the Wii Remote to point and destroy falling rocks coming out of a volcano located in the background. The player also receives bonus points for shooting at the rocks consecutively without missing. In the Pierrot minigame, the Wii Remote is used to balance a giant bomb on a stick, which grows in size as the game progresses. The player must also avoid objects falling off from the balcony, which will cause the stick to tilt. If the stick manages to tilt too much, the bomb will fall off and explode. The Space Tube minigame uses the Wii remote to tilt the tube that Bomberman runs through, which makes Bomberman jump or turn right and left. The player must also avoid obstacles including closing doors and spikes.
Story[]
While enjoying his free time at the beach, Bomberman receives an invitation to the amusement park "Bomberman Land". Upon arriving, he discovered many of his friends have received the same invite such as Cool Black and Cute Pink. When everyone arrives, the Director appears and informs them how things work. Just as things are about to talk off, a strange figure appears on a large screen, claiming to be the "Champion" of the park. He has captured the Director and its up to White Bomber to win the events and defeat the Champion at his own game.
“Hello, and welcome! This is Bomberman Land’s main facility, the Bomber Center. The opening ceremony is about to begin, so please join the others in from of the big screen.”

- Save Game
- There are 20 save slots for Bomberman Land, just pick a slot and press A! After your first save, you’ll be asked the next time you save if you want to overwrite the current file (my suggestion is to choose YES, as this saves all current gameplay to the one file, instead of having a bunch of files at different parts of the game). Once you’re done saving press B to leave the save file screen.
- Shopping Info
- This tells you about TP and how you can use them to buy outfits from the Shopping Center.

Attractions[]
There are five different zones in the game; totaling in over 40 attractions. They can be played in training mode where the player can choose from five difficulty settings to earn TP (Training Points). In the actual park, the player must use tokens to play the attractions. There are three different play modes available: single player, two player, and four players.
Single Player
There’s a desk with another Staff Member behind it, talk to him! The menu opens, showing 6 squares. As you move to different Zones, more games will be added. There are 7 pages with 6 squares on 6 of the pages and 4 on the last page, for a total of 40 games!
Each game has 5 levels to beat and each level gives you an increasing amount of TP when you pass.
- Level 1 = 10 TP
- Level 2 = 20 TP
- Level 3 = 30 TP
- Level 4 = 40 TP
- Level 5 = 50 TP
Multiplayer
There’s two desks in the Multiplayer tunnel, the one on the left (GREEN) is for 2-player games and the one on the right (YELLOW) is for 4-player games!
Similar to the Single Player games, all multiplayer games have 5 levels to beat and each level gives you an increasing amount of TP!
Zones[]
Ranking system[]
Each Zone is divided into 4 rounds. Depending on the number of zone pieces, the players are split up into 3 groups : Demoted, Held Back, and Promoted.
- Those who are Demoted have to go back a Zone (though they just stay in the Ring Zone since it's the first Zone - but if you were in, say, the Delta Zone, you'd be sent back to the Ring Zone and you'd have to go through the 4 rounds all over again, so do your best to get Promoted!)
- Those who Held Back have to go through the same zone's rounds all over again (There is no need to re-purchase the zone license)
- Those who are Promoted get to move on to the next Zone!
Each round you are given a specific amount of Tokens which are used to play the attractions (the mini-games you practiced for in the Training area in the Bomber Center). The "Champion" decides how many tokens you get each time and he switches up the rules of each round.
Battle Mode[]
While the classic battle mode is available, multiplayer's new focus are the mini-games. There is a wide variety of characters to choose (must be unlocked in story mode) and there is a lot more customization that be made. This mode can support up to 4 players (Game Cube Controllers are also compatible).
You can choose a few different game styles including:
- Normal - Regular kill-or-be-killed all out fighting!
- Star - Collect the stars, the player with the most stars when time runs out wins!
- Crown - Be the first to get to the crown to win!
- Points - Blow up your opponents, they won't die but you do get points! The player with the most points at the end of the game wins!
- All Out - A battle stage is choosen randomly and special rules are applied.
- Wii - Throw Bombs by pointing the cursor, and destroy the Ballom enemies in order to get points.
