- Not to be confused with Pretty Bomber who was localized as Cute Pink in the english releases of the Bomberman Land series.
—Pink Bomber, Super Bomberman R
Pink Bomberman (officially known as Pink Bomber) is a recurring character in the Bomberman series. She mainly appears as an alternate skin to allow for more players during multiplayer mini games.
Appearance[]
In most titles, Pink Bomber sports a pink head, body, tan arms and legs, with red hands and feet as well as a red antenna. In Super Bomberman 2, this red coloring is swapped out for green. In Bomberman Blast, this red coloring is swapped out for blue.
Super Bomberman R’s iteration of Pink Bomber is given a slightly atypical design, with her suit now having a collar, as well as being wrapped by a white belt with a yellow heart-shaped buckle. Uniquely, her antenna is heart-shaped, unlike the other Bomberman Bros' spherical ones.
Personality[]
Pink Bomber is a cute and tomboyish friend and sister of Aqua Bomber. She is described as a "bright and bubbly busybody who loves prying into other people's business"[1].
She is shown to be protective to animals, mainly Balloms, as she scolds and chastises Smuggler over imprisoning them and raising prices too high. This trait is further shown in Super Bomberman R 2, where she takes care of the Ellons.
She calls Pretty Bomber "big sis".
Notable appearances[]
Pink Bomberman first appeared as a background element in Bomberman '93, which was followed by a playable appearance in Hi-Ten Bomberman. After a significant gap, Pink Bomber made a more significant appearance in Bomberman DS, followed by the trio of seventh-generation Bomberman titles Live, Blast, and Ultra. Unlike later iterations, these Pink Bombermen do not have any character-specific traits or personalities.
Bomberman: Bakufuu Sentai Bombermen's iteration of Pink Bomber gives her an official name, as well as identifying her as female.
Super Bomberman R's iteration of Pink Bomber depicts her as a gentle and mature girl who mentors Aqua Bomber.
She reappears along with the rest of the Bomberman Bros. in Super Bomberman R Online and Super Bomberman R 2.
Gameplay[]
In the latest versions of Super Bomberman R and Super Bomberman R Online, if special abilities are on, she starts with 5 fire, bombs, and speed, but she cannot increase her stats any further. This also prevents her from utilizing the Boxing Glove and Power Glove.
B-Daman[]
In Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden, Pink Bomber appears as a recurring character. This is the first time in media she is portrayed as a girl, as most appearances depict her as a basic male palette swap design.
Trivia[]
- Pink Bomber was featured as a playable character in Hill Climb Racing 2, available through a collaboration event with Super Bomberman R 2.
- The announcement tweet for the Bomberman Youtooz plush quotes one of Pink Bomber's victory lines from Super Bomberman R.[2]
- There's an animation mistake in some cutscenes, usually her buckle is on the right side, but in some cutscenes (like the World 7 intro) her buckle is on the left side.
