Pucci (プッチー, Putchī), also known as Seeker Balloon, is an enemy in Neo Bomberman.
Description[]
Pucci is found in Stage 1 and Stage 5. It moves at a normal pace, only turning upon collision with a wall or bomb. It tends to turn in a consistently clockwise or counterclockwise direction. If a player lines up with it horizontally or vertically, and there are no more than four tile spaces between them, it will move toward that player.
It will harm the player on collision and takes only 1 hit (all modes) to defeat and yield a score of 200 points.
Trivia[]
- The name "Putchi" is a Japanese onomatopoeia that evokes the image of a balloon inflating and deflating. The "pu" sound is often used in Japanese to represent round, cute things, while the "chi" sound is used to represent small, delicate things.
