Torisan (とりさん, Torisan), also known as Mr. Bird, is a rideable enemy from Neo Bomberman. It comes from a biological Egg.
Description[]
Torisan is found in Stage 1 and Stage 5. It moves at a normal pace, turning upon colliding with a wall or bomb. It tends to turn in a consistently clockwise or counterclockwise direction. If it comes within the horizontal or vertical axis of a bomb, and it is within 4 tile spaces, then it will move toward the bomb. When it collides with a bomb, it uses its special ability to flip it up into the air.
It will harm the player on collision and takes 1 hit (1P mode), or 2 hits (2P mode/Lv6 difficulty) to defeat and yield a score of 200 points.
Upon defeat, Torisan becomes a biological Egg.
Riding[]
When riding Torisan, the player can use the B button to toss bombs up into the air with the monster's beak. Tossed bombs travel up and out of the screen, eventually landing in a random, open spot on the map, which is indicated by a shadow. If an obstacle ends up on the destination spot of the bomb before it lands, it will bounce off of the obstacle, acting as a thrown bomb, and will stun players who are caught in its path.
It cannot hurl bombs that have been placed underwater in Stage 2.
Trivia[]
- The name "Torisan" comes from the Japanese words "tori", meaning "bird", and "san", a general Japanese honorific for someone of the same social status, and can be translated as "Mr." or "Mrs.". A literal translation of the name would be "Mr. Bird".
