Super Bomberman 3 Summary
Bomberman, Bomberman
Mass destruction across the land.
Makes a bomb, of any size.
And he’s yours, to customize.
Look out! Here comes the Bomberman!
Before you ask, that quote comes from a commercial for the N64 Bomberman game. And yes, it is sung in the same tune as Spider-Man. If it’s now in your head, I have no apology.
Super Bomberman 3 stars the famous white bomber in one of his earliest releases. The gameplay is relatively simple, at first. It’s a game where you, or your friends, play as one of four multicolored bombers, and the objective is to blow up anyone not on your team. You are placed in a small arena with multiple rows. Bombs are placed in the arena, each one with set properties and mechanics. You have to figure out which bombs do what, and how to best use them.
But be careful! Your enemies use bombs too, as their job is to make you explode using the same tricks and tactics you would use!
Super Bomberman 3 Premise
Following the plot of the second game, after the White Bomberman defeated the Five Dastardly Bombers, their UFO crash-landed on Earth in a heap. Their alien creator, known as Baruga, then appeared. He revives each of the Bad Bombers and sends them each to five different planets in the nebula. It’s the White Bomberman’s job to defeat each one, and restore peace to the cosmos once again!
Super Bomberman 3 Main Characters
Let’s take a look at this explosive cast!
- White Bomberman. The oldest of the Bombermen, and generally the star of the show. Noteable for not being chosen or made for combat, and instead, made himself a fighter. Unlike his siblings though, he has the rather extreme achievement of defeating the series’ equivalent of god.
- Black Bomberman. The friendly rival to White Bomberman. He’s the “too cool for school” type.
- Loiues. The franchise is equivalent to Yoshi. A kangaroo-like creature, that, depending on the color, would have different abilities. For example, a green Loiue can run from one end of the area to the other until they are blocked. The blue one can kick a bomb in an arc some distance away.
- Bad Bombers. The bad guys of the game, a bit like the Robot Masters from Mega Man.
- Bagura. The creator of the Dastardly Bombers, and the one who revived them! He sits atop his battleship, one powerful enough to destroy an entire planet if need be.
