He can lay a large number of bombs at one time, but is not a very fast character. He has the ability to kick bombs and can also use Tracing Bombs against the player.

Trivia[]
- The name "Gari" (Gary) is a reference to the Japanese word "gari" and the Japanese phrase "garigari", which is used to describe a very skinny person.
- Gary and Dave are likely based on the protagonists from The Blues Brothers. Gary resembles Jake Blues, while Dave resembles Elwood Blues.
- Even though he is often pictured with Dave Bomber, the two of them do not fight together. However, the two of them are the only bosses for Zone 2.
- Apparently, Gary Bomber is slightly faster than Dave Bomber, but also has the same speed as the player's base speed, which is one. This makes Gary Bomber the second slowest member of the Fiendish Bombers, rivaled only by his friend, Dave Bomber, who is the true slowest.
