Push is an item that first appears in Super Bomberman 4.[1] As an ability in general, it is known as the "Bomber Push".[2]
Ability[]
By pressing the Y button, a player who has the Push item will move one tile space forward and will thrust away any other player who is caught in his or her path.[2] The pushed player will move three tile spaces in the direction that the pushing player is facing.
Both the Push and the Punch items can be used at the same time.
Usage[]
The Push ability can be used to push another player into an explosion or into the path of a bomb that is about to explode.[2] It can also be used to push players into certain traps, such as a Cliff or the Electric Rope, or into Skull items.
While being pushed, a player cannot perform any actions until he or she stops moving. A player who is holding down the B button (the same button that is used to trigger special attacks in the game) cannot be pushed (as shown in the gallery below).[2]
In the Normal Game, if both players simultaneously push on certain Hard Blocks, they will reveal a Bonus Stage Entrance.
In certain games that are more oriented with adventure, such as Bomberman Hero, Bomberman Tournament and Bomberman Story DS, the player can use this ability to push blocks in order to solve a puzzle or uncover certain passages. In Bomberman Tournament, the ability is acquired with Elifan and could be used to push blocks in order to open some doors or secret passages. In Bomberman Hero, although this ability is already available by default, it is only really used in one level, Move Stone, which requires to push blocks into holes to solve puzzles. In Bomberman Story DS, the ability is also available by default, and it is used only in the first dungeon to push large crates in order to clear the way.
