—Smuggler's villainous breakdown as he hides his crimes and exposing himself as a psychotic corrupt official before being crushed by the Marbled Ballom, Super Bomberman R
Smuggler is a minor antagonist in Super Bomberman R and is the one responsible for imprisoning the Balloms and blaming the Bomberman Bros. for the riot.
Personality[]
Smuggler is shady, lying, corrupt, selfish and menacing and he is even more dangerous than the Five Dastardly Bombers and more threatening than Buggler.
Smuggler is known for his vulgarity, as he uses the word "damn": "Ah, those damn balloons!" The word "damn" was removed in update 2.0.1 in both subtitles and dialogue.
Smuggler is reckless, cruel and heartless, as he calls himself the "self-proclaimed honest businessman". He is also intelligent, as he describes that the Balloms are intellectual as they can absorb negative emotions around their surroundings.
Smuggler is also abusive, greedy, hypocritical and arrogant, from the fact that he threatens to raise the price of buying the Balloms he imprisons even higher to the maximum price, which is criminalized as unlawful price raising and that the act is seen as too dangerous, as Smuggler is seen breaking the rules and breaking the law as well.
Smuggler is also jingoistic and xenophobic, as he is seen packing up to leave to Planet Brainwave, (which is Smuggler's possible birthplace), so that the situation will calm down.
Smuggler is also extremely psychotic, as he is shown to falsely accuse the Bomberman Bros. of the rioting Balloms and that without the prices, Smuggler sees everything as scarce, which is absolutely false.
But unfortunately, after being corrected by Black Bomber and Pink Bomber about the incident all for the prices being scarce and that if everyone has their pet Balloms, no one will be frustrated in the first place, Smuggler has had it with being chastised for his behavior and as a last resort to protect himself from the threat of being fired, arrested and imprisoned, Smuggler yowls out his villainous breakdown claiming that he is an honest businessman, (which is confirmed as false because Smuggler is exposed as an aggressive, abusive, authoritarian, cruel, arrogant, merciless, irredeemable, malicious and atrocious corrupt official who cares about himself and his extremely omnicidal reputation), but when the Marbled Ballom appears out of its confinement, deep down inside, Smuggler is revealed to be a weakling coward and he is crushed.
The last piece of his behavior is his total dismay, humiliation and embarrassment after the Marbled Ballom is defeated in his final quote: "Oh, boy...". Smuggler's fate is confirmed as he is fired, arrested and imprisoned for the atrocities he has caused.
