Missile Trooper, known as Purple Trooper (パープル戦闘員, Pāpuru Sentō-in) in Japan, is an enemy in Bomberman 64.
Description[]
Missile Troopers are elite soldiers of Altair who only appear in Black Fortress, wherein they carry missile launchers to repel intruders.[1][2] They move very slowly and aimlessly, occasionally pausing to look around, and will stun Bomberman on collision. When Bomberman comes to close to a Missile Trooper, he will stop moving and fire a missile at him, which is lobbed through the air for a short distance before exploding on the ground. The resulting explosion is small, but acts as a normal explosion and can detonate bombs and harm Bomberman or other enemies.
Each Missile Trooper takes two bomb blasts to defeat, but a single Pumped Bomb thrown on top of him will defeat him instantly. In Hard Mode, they move and fire more quickly, and take three bomb blasts to destroy.
