Gamefurai is a ridable enemy from Super Bomberman 4. It comes from a mechanical Egg.
Behavior
Gamefurai moves at a normal pace in a straight line until it collides with a block, bomb, or other enemy, at which point it pauses, chooses a random direction, and then continues to move. It may choose to reverse directions even if it is not at a dead end. It will harm the player on collision.
When Gamefurai lines up horizontally or vertically with a player, and there are no obstacles between them, it will launch as a missile in the direction of that player. Once it collides with an obstacle, such as a wall, bomb, or player, it will detonate. The resulting explosion has a range of 9 Fire.
Upon defeat, Gamefurai becomes a mechanical Egg. In Battle Mode, it can be found randomly in Eggs that are uncovered in Soft Blocks.
Riding
Players who ride Gamefurai are able to use its missile technique. Firing Gamefurai will destroy it, leaving the player invulnerable for a short time.
Trivia
- The name "Gamefurai" comes from the Japanese words "game", sometimes used for "turtle" (kame), and "furai", meaning "fly". Effectively, the name means "Turtle Fly".
