The Rubber Bomb (translated from Boyoyon Bomb, which is sometimes used; also referred to as Bouncing Bomb, Jelly Bomb or Drop Bomb) is a type of bomb in the Bomberman series.

Description[]

This item transforms the player's bombs into Rubber Bombs. These bombs have the looks and properties of a cyan (sometimes gray) rubbery substance and will bounce when kicked, thrown, or punched.

Strategy[]

The Rubber Bomb's power is used in two ways: by kicking it, or by punching/throwing it.

A kicked Rubber Bomb will bounce back and forth along the path that it was kicked until it detonates. This will usually just stall a battle, unless multiple Rubber Bombs are kicked at around the same time. Be careful not to be blown up by your own returning Rubber Bomb.

A thrown/punched Rubber Bomb is very unpredictable, and a bit more dangerous than kicked Rubber Bombs. Once it lands on a square, it will bounce in one of four directions. After a time, sometimes short and sometimes long, it will come to rest and explode. Thrown Rubber Bombs can stun several players and possibly cause their deaths but can also come back to stun the owner. Depending on the Bomberman game, it may not be the best idea to repeatedly throw/punch Rubber Bombs about the arena.

Players intending to use the Rubber Bomb should practice with them first before doing anything daring. Knowing where is safe to hide, where it'll detonate, and if the Rubber Bomb will be part of a chain reaction is the key to use Rubber Bomb efficiently.

In some Bomberman games (mostly a Battle Game), when 2 Rubber Bombs that have been kicked collide with each other, it will produce a Dangerous Bomb. You can perform this with kicked Rubber Bomb from 2 different players, or you can kick a Rubber Bomb into the wall, then kick another Rubber Bomb into the first Rubber Bomb.

In Bomberman Quest, it is an equippable weapon that have a same effect, it can be formed when a Rubber is fused with an Explosive Core in the Bomb Workshop.

Necessary Items[]

One of the following items is necessary if a player wants to use the Rubber Bomb's special power:

Without any of the above items, a Rubber Bomb can still be used against players who do have a Kick or Boxing Glove or Power Glove item, opponents may inadvertently kick, throw or punch a Rubber Bomb or be forced to kick it, throw it or punch it to escape.

Notable Rubber Bomb Users[]

  • Professor Bagura uses Rubber Bombs, typically by casting four out, one on each side, simultaneously while making himself invincible, each with Full Fire.
  • Brain Bomber uses Rubber Bombs in Bomberman Tournament; he walks around the arena before casting a green shield around himself and throwing Rubber Bombs, then flies back up into the air.
  • Yellow Bomber uses Rubber Bombs in Super Bomberman R Online as one of his starting items if special abilities are enabled.
