The game includes a number of critters called '''Karabons''' (also known as Charaboms) that form a major part of the quest mode. These critters not only give out advice and augment Bomberman's capabilities, but they also add a scavenger-hunt aspect to an otherwise-standard RPG. The player can acquire 25 karabons by capturing them (a la Pokémon) [[File:Charaboms_BT.png|thumb|Karabons]]or by artificially creating them. From time to time, NPCs will challenge the player to Karabon battles, which, much like Pokémon battles, are one-on-one, turn-based fights. Unlike Pokémon battles, however, the outcome of a match is determined before it ever begins, as the player's Karabon's prevailing stats and pre-set attack strategies determine the course of the fight.

Choosing Charaboms for battle

The game includes a number of critters known as Charaboms (called "Karabons" in this game) that form a major part of the Quest Mode. These critters not only are required to solve some puzzles, but also augment Bomberman's capabilities when equipped, they also add a scavenger-hunt aspect to the game. The player can acquire 25 Charaboms by capturing them or by artificially creating them. By visiting Colliseums, NPCs will challenge the player to Charabom battles, which are one-on-one, turn-based fights, which is a good way to gain gold upon victory. The outcome of a match is determined before it ever begins, as the player's Charabom's prevailing stats and pre-set attack strategies determine the course of the fight. The Charaboms' stats can be increased by finding food items by destroying Soft Blocks.

Battle Mode

One to four players may participate in the Battle Mode. The following rules can be set:[2]

  • Computer - The difficulty setting for AI opponents. It may be set to Weak, Normal, or Hard.

  • Skulls - Determines whether Skull items can be destroyed by explosions (Burn or Stay).
  • Fishing - Whether or not the winning player will play Fishing minigame.
  • Revenge - Determines whether the Revenge Bomber is enabled. When Super is enabled, eliminated players will re-enter the game if they eliminate another player.
