The Pierce Bomb, sometimes referred to as the Spiked Bomb, Pass Through Bomb, Penetrating Bomb, Hyper Bomb, or even Power Bomb (Bomberman Tournament only). is a recurring power-up item in the Bomberman series.

Description[]

It is a special Bomb upgrade. It turns the player's bombs into spiked bombs (earlier games have no change of the Bombs' appearance) that can, as the name implies, penetrate through multiple Soft Blocks, Items, enemies and detonate bombs in its path. Only Hard Blocks, certain traps and certain types of Bombs will block the explosion of a Pierce Bomb. The item is generally represented by a Bomb with 5 spikes.

Strategy[]

The Pierce Bomb is most notably useful in clearing out walls and getting more items in a faster manner. Because of its special feature, combined with a large blast radius, the Pierce Bomb can nullify an opponent's strategy of hiding behind blocks. It can also catch opponents off guard if they do not realize your bomb is a Pierce Bomb, but on the flip side, it can also cause its user's demise if the player is not paying extra attention. In a couple of games, the flame blast is represented by a blue color, in order to help the players to identify quickly the nature of the bomb.
