Power-Ups

Power-Ups are recurring items in the Bomberman series that affect the abilities of a player during gameplay.

Description

Depending on the item and how they are used, it can put the player at either an advantage or a disadvantage. They are in most cases found by destroying Soft Blocks, although in some games, they can also be dropped by defeated enemies. In most games, Power-Ups can generally be destroyed by bomb blasts and in some early games, enemies may also be spawned when a power-up is destroyed.

Below is a list of the most common power-ups that can alter gameplay.
