Ovape (オバピー, Obapī), also known as Floatsam, is a recurring enemy in the Bomberman series.

Description[]

Bomberman (NES)[]

Ovape is typically a red (sometimes pink) ghost octopus that move through Soft Blocks. They are encountered after the Dorias. They chase after Bomberman, like Doria, Onil, Minvo, Pontan and Pass (mostly/sometimes they do, sometimes they don't), but due to their wall-pass abilities, they can cause problems. They are associated with a Bomb Pass power-up, and as such will appear when the stage Exit containing the power-up is bombed, or when the power-up is destroyed. Ovape will harm the player on collision. They take 1 hit to defeat and yield a score of 2000 points.

Bomber Boy[]

Appears in Game B, a direct port of the NES Version. Behavior remains identical to its NES iteration. It takes 1 hit to defeat and yields a score of 2000 points.

Bomberman Party Edition[]

Appears in 1P Mode, remake of the NES Version. Except for its updated graphic on both retro and modern mode, its behavior remains unchanged. It takes 1 hit to defeat and yields a score of 2000 points.

It was named Floatsam in the American manual.

Trivia[]

  • The literal Japanese name "Obapi" is probably a mutation of Japanese word "obake", meaning "ghost".
  • The early appearance versions of the Ovape reminds a bit of the Uotan.
  • In September 2013, SK Japan released the next wave of Bomberman mascot ball-chain line of plush toys. One of them is Yellow Bomberman holding Ovape.
  • Ovape appears as a badge in Amazing Bomberman.
