Bonsaver

Bonsaver is a member of the Bomber Family and is a playable character in Bomberman '94.

Description[]

Bonsaver has the appearance of a wind-up toy robot. He is described as a "very aggressive character." He focuses on offense and his attacks are precise.

Trivia[]

The name "Bonsaver" was submitted by Ryuki Kurosawa from Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
In Bomberman '94, Bonsaver's head remains mostly white when he is selected by player three (red) or five (green). In Mega Bomberman, his head matches those players' respective colors.
While Mega Bomberman was in development, Bonsaver was originally going to hop on a Louie using his rocket boost, in addition to cleaning his face in his idle animation during a match. These animations went unused, but the sprites found in the game's ROM code states that they were going to be used in-game before the final game's release. He is also one of two characters that has the ability to hop on a Louie using their own props, the other being Grampa Bomber, who uses his cane to leap onto a Louie.
In his artwork, Bonsaver appears to emit electrical discharges, which were not seen in his sprite.
