Pass (パース, Pāsu), also known as Parse, Tiglon, and Cecil the Tiger, is a recurring enemy in the Bomberman series.
Description[]
Bomberman (NES)[]
Pass moves faster than most enemies, except Pontan, which is even faster, passes through Soft Blocks and more dangerous, and is able to avoid bombs.[2] It often pursues Bomberman. Its behavior and appearance is kind of similar to Minvo, leading to assume that the two enemies could be somehow related, though Pass has ears, white cheek fur and fangs, and is a tiger. Unlike Minvo, however, Pass is a bit faster and smarter. It's associated with the Fireproof Power-up and as such, will appear if said power up is blown up by a bomb, or the exit of a level with this power up present is bombed. It will harm Bomberman on collision. It takes 1 hit to defeat and yields a score of 4000 points.
