  -> 7/18/03(Version 0.01)

Hi! My name's Alex Pawlenty and I'll be writing this FAQ/Walkthrough.When I
first looked for an FAQ on Bomberman Party Edition, I was really shocked to
see that there was only a translations guide! So, I've set out to give everyone
out there the help with this game like I did at one time. This is my second
FAQ/Walkthrough. I hope it helps you out and you enjoy it. If you have any
questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to e-mail me at
estoy_muy_loco@yahoo.com. You can also try my ICQ number. I'm rarely on
AIM, so you're better off trying ICQ. If all else fails, I can often be found at
LUE(Life, the Universe, and Everything).


  -> 7/25/03(Version 1.00)

It's one week later and I'm finished. Hope this guide helps!

 -> 10/03/03(Version 1.01)
 
gamenotover.com is gonna be hosting this now too! 



******************************************************************************

  Section 1: General Information

******************************************************************************


 -Multi-Player:

It's possible to play Bomberman: Party Edition with up to five people, of
course. All you need is a multi-tap and you're good to go!


 -Game Modes:


Normal Game- This single-player mode is a remake of the original Bomberman
game. There are 50 stages, each one getting progressively harder. There are also
two different versions.

Battle Mode- This multi-player mode pits up to 5 human or CPU players against
one another in an all-out death match that's made Bomberman famous. There
are two different sub modes in Battle Mode, Battle Royal Mode and
Custom Battle Mode. Battle Royal is the normal Battle Mode we've all grown
to know and Custom Battle Mode lets you tinker with different features such as
the number of items that can be found on the playing field.


 -Controls:


D-Pad: Used to move your character around. If your character also has the
Bomb Kick powerup in a game he or she can kick the bomb by pressing the
direction that the bomb is in when you're next to it.

Circle: Use the circle button to place bombs across the playing field. If your
character has the power glove power up as well, you can pick up bombs
using the circle button and throw the bomb at another character using the
same button.

Triangle: The cancel button. Can also be used to return to a previous menu.

Square: Use the square button to activate the Punch, Push, or Multi-Bomb
power ups.

X: The select button. If you have the remote control power up in a game,
the X button is also used to trigger a bomb. Also used to activate a partner's
special ability or a characters special ability.

Start, Select, L1, L2, R1, R2: Pressing all of these buttons together at
the same time triggers the soft-reset. Use this to reset your game without
having to press the reset button on your console.

  2.1: Game Modes

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
  Normal Game
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


First, you have to select which version of the new game you want to play. Your
choices are either Modern and Retro.


 -Modern


In Modern Mode, you clear 10 stages and then the graphics change. After each
10 stages, you're treated to a clip of Bomberman.


 -Retro


A recreation using the original Bomberman's graphics.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
  Battle Modes
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


You'll have to choose between two different battle modes, Battle Royale and
Custom Battle.


  -Battle Royale:


Battle Royale Mode is simply a battle mode that is less-customizeable than
Custom Battle.


  -Custom Battle


In Custom Battle Mode you can customize almost every aspect of the battle.


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  2.2: Playing a Normal Game

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Bomberman: Party Edition contains a remake of the original Bomberman game,
with either the original game's graphics or a new updated set.

To clear a stage, you have to find the exit door. Of course, the door isn't
just going to be on the screen right away for you. You have to destroy the
blocks on the screen to find the door. To destroy the blocks, simply place a
bomb by as many of them as you can and take cover!

Besides the exit, you can also find many different power-up's along the way.
The list of all the power-ups and their descriptions will be along later in
this walkthrough.

Beware! If the timer runs out and you still haven't found the exit, more
monsters will spawn all over the playing field! So don't slack off unless
you want to lose!

After you've cleared five stages, you can play a special bonus stage.
In these bonus stages, Bomberman is always invincible and you have to defeat
as many monsters as you can. The more monsters you can beat, the more points
you can rack up. Of course, you have a limited amount of time, so try to do
the best you can!

Here's a little hint. If you ever have the flak jacket or anything else
equipped that makes you invincible, lay down a bomb and wait for it to
explode. When it explodes, immediately place another one in the exploded bombs
fire. The second bomb you layed down should explode immediately. Now, if you
have enough bombs built up you can make a stream of fire go on as long as
you're invincible by laying bombs down in the fire while walking! Try it out,
it's really useful!

Finally, if either the exit doors or the power-up found on any of the stages
come in
contact with a bomb's blast, they will spew monsters out.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  2.3: Battle Modes Information

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


Okay, this is it. Battle Mode. The bread and butter of Bomberman Party
Edition, the battle modes. Let's start off by talking about Battle Royale Mode.


*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*
  Battle Royale Mode
*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*


The first thing you have to do in Battle Royale Mode is select a level of
difficulty.

You can choose from beginner, normal, and advanced. If this is your first game
in the Bomberman universe, then I suggest playing on beginner until you learn
more about the game. If you've played one or two other Bomberman games
before, then I think you should play on normal mode. If you're a true
Bomberman fan and have played a countless number of his games, then go for
advanced mode.

After you've selected your difficulty, you need to choose whether you want to
play a single match or a tag-team match. In a single match, it's a free-for-
all. Basically an every man for himself type of game. If you go with tag-team,
everyone will be divided into two separate teams that go to war against each
other.

Next you'll be selecting the rules and other options for the match. You'll
have to choose how good of players the computer-controlled characters are, the
number of games per match (1 through 5), the time limit (1 through 5 minutes
or unlimited), whether Sudden Death mode (a mode where blocks encircle the
remaining players when there's 30 seconds or less during the match) is on,
if skull bombs are effected by bomb blasts, if characters start in a random
position on the playing field, if Hyper Bomber is on ( a mode that lets
the winner of a match select a power-up that they'll permanently have during
the next rounds) and, finally, if Bomber Cart is on(Bomber Cart allows
characters that have been killed to keep playing. If you're killed, your
character will be transported to a cart on the sides of the screen. While in
the carts, characters can throw bombs at the playing field. The longer you
hold the button, the farther the bomb will go).


There's still more customization! Now you have to select the number of players
and CPU controlled players there will be in your match. After that, you will
assign a certain character to yourself. If you're playing a tag-team match,
you'll have to select who will be on the two teams after this. When you're
done with that, you will select which stage you will be playing on.  There are
a very large number of stages to play on, each with different special
features,so choose which one you think will be the most fun. But be sure to
try themall at least once!


When the match is done, you'll be treated to the battle results screen and the
battle report screen. The battle results screen shows which character or team
has won the match by awarding them a trophy. The battle report screen
shows who was killed by who.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
  Custom Battle
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


A custom battle is exactly the same as a battle in battle royale mode, except
even more customizable.

From the 'Item Selection' screen, you can pick up to 9 of any of the 15 power
ups on the screen, with a cap of 60 total power-ups altogether.

From the 'Handicap' screen, you can select the number of lives of any given
character. You can't go under one or over five.

After you've done all of this, start up the game and have fun!


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  2.4: Playing a Battle Game

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


The basic premise behind a battle game is to blow away all of your opponents
using your bombs and the power-ups that you've picked up along the way.

Certain battle-fields have gimmicks that can aid in killing your opponents.

Whoever wins the number of rounds that was set before the match started wins.



******************************************************************************

  3.2: Characters and Partners

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


*~*~*~*~*~*~*
  Characters
*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Characters Useable in the Beginner Difficulty:

All of the characters useable in the beginner difficulty are simply
Bombermen with different colors. There is...


=-----------------------------------------------------=


1. White Bomberman

2. Black Bomberman

3. Red Bomberman

4. Blue Bomberman

5. Green Bomberman


=-----------------------------------------------------=


There really isn't anything to distinguish between any of these guys.
The only thing that they have that makes them different from one-another is
their color.



Characters Useable in the Normal Difficulty:



We start to see some characters with individuality come out of the woodwork
for the normal and advanced difficulties. Here are the characters found in
normaldifficulty and short bio's for each. Supposedly, the normal level is
home to characters from around the world who are fighting to bring pride to
their country.It's pretty obvious where most of the characters are from
looking at their outfits.




=-----------------------------------------------------=

1. Cossack Bomber

If you couldn't tell form his outfit, this guy is from Russia or the former
U.S.S.R. Maybe they never disbanded? Who knows. Whichever he's from, he's
dressed up in a red suit, black gloves, black boots, and one of those big, red
hats. I'm not even gonna say what I think he looks like..

=-----------------------------------------------------=

2. Punk Bomber

I really have no idea where this guy is from. His name doesn't really suggest
anything, unless there's a certain country out there that's known for its
*******'s.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

3. Mexican Bomber

His outfit also doesn't really suggest he's from Mexico (I was expecting a
sombrero! Just kidding.) but he does seem to have a tan that you would only
get in a hot place such as Mexico.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

4. Barbarian Bomber

Is Barbaria/Babaria a country? Might of been at one time.. Anyway, the
Barbarian bomber looks like what you might expect, shirt less and huge. He has
a little frilly thing on his neck too... Not sure what that is. o_O

=-----------------------------------------------------=

5. Bomber the Kid

Since when is the Wild West a country? Anyway, Bomber the Kid sports
all of the average cowboy stuff. Hat, jacket, boots, and of course, six-
shooter.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

6. Pretty Bomber

From.. Prettyland(okay, now I'm just plain bashing these guys). Pretty Bomber
is wearing a large helmet with a big heart on the front, a dress and high-heels.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

7. Bomber Chen

Ah, finally, another character that actually represents their country by
reminding us of it! He's from China of course... or Japan. Okay, I spoke too
soon. Bomber Chen is possibly the shortest character in the game and sports a
cane, a very long beard and baldness.

=-----------------------------------------------------=


There they are, the characters for the normal difficulty. Definitely a lot
more character than the ones found on easy, but wait until you see the
characters found on advanced!


Characters found on advanced mode:


All of these characters found on advanced mode. None of them are fooling
around which is painfully apparent from all the heavy artillery they're
carrying!

*Note* Characters found on advanced mode have special powers that can be
triggered by pressing X and one of the directions on the D-Pad at the same
time.


=-----------------------------------------------------=

1. Bazooka Bomber

Bazooka Bomber has a bazooka, of course. With it he can blast blocks or other
characters. After he shoots his bazooka he becomes paralyzed for 10 seconds.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

2. Jet Bomber

Using his jet-pack, Jet Bomber can give himself a massive boost of speed for
a few seconds. He also becomes defenseless for 10 seconds after using his
special power, just like Bazooka Bomber.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

3. Great Bomber

Great Bomber has a..well.. great power. He can become invincible from all
attacks for a
few seconds. Just like the previous two characters, Great Bomber also becomes
defenseless for 10 seconds after his power has been used up.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

4. Hammer Bomber

Hammer Bomber can use his trusty hammer to hit other characters nearby. Anyone
hit by his hammer will have their items scattered across the battlefield.
Unlike the past three characters, Hammer Bomber does NOT become defenseless
after using his power.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

5. Honey

One of Bomberman's most loved characters, Honey returns to Party Edition for
more bombing fun. She can use her gun to blow up a bomb on the field
prematurely.There is no penalty on Honey for using her pistol.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

6. Lady Bomber

Lady Bomber  can use her floating laser guns to shoot any character,
scattering their items across the battlefield.There is no penalty on Lady
Bomber for using her lasers.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

7. Kotetsu

Another well-liked character returning to Bomberman. Kotetsu can attack other
characters with his sword to scatter their items. There is no penalty on
Kotetsu for using his sword.

=-----------------------------------------------------=


There they are, the advanced difficulty characters, in my opinion the best in
the game. Make sure you play a lot so you can get good enough to play on
advanced with these guys.



*~*~*~*~*~*
 Partners
*~*~*~*~*~*


In case you didn't know, Partners are the creatures found in the eggs hidden
in blocks across the field. Beginner difficulty doesn't have partners, but
normal and advanced difficulties do. Partners can be very helpful as they can
have special powers and will essentially give you an extra-life(If you are hit
by a bomb while on a partner the partner will die instead of you).


Partners found on normal difficulty:


=-----------------------------------------------------=


1. Blue Louie

Ability: Bomb Kick

Blue Louie can kick bombs. The reason this is special is because the bombs
kicked by Blue Louie can pass through blocks and walls.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

2. Green Louie

Ability: Dash

Green Louie can run extremely fast but can't stop running until it hits
something like an item, a block or a wall.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

3. Yellow Louie

Ability: Block Kick

Yellow Louie has the special ability to kick any block ahead of itself.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

4. Brown Louie

Ability: Multi-Bomb

While riding Brown Louie, your character can drop his or her maximum number of
bombs at once in a straight line in the direction you're facing.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

5. Pink Louie

Ability: Jump

Pink Louie can leap over single bombs and blocks.

=-----------------------------------------------------=


These partners are extremely useful when defending yourself against attack.

The only ones that are better are the ones found on advanced difficulty.


Partners found on advanced difficulty:


=-----------------------------------------------------=


1. Simeon

Ability: Pick Up Blocks

This guy can pick up any soft block and drop it anywhere on the field as long
as that area isn't occupied by something else.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

2. Orakko

Ability: Jump Attack

Orakko can use a jump attack that makes any character scatter their items.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

3. Coney

Ability: Multi-Bombs

This partner can place multi-bombs and isn't damaged from attacks behind him.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

4. Pytera

Ability: Eat Bombs

Pytera can eat up a bomb placed on the field and spit it back out at any given
 time.

=-----------------------------------------------------=

5. Dox

Ability: Block Kick

Dox can kick soft blocks if it has a running start.

=-----------------------------------------------------=



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

3.3: Items

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



This section will pertain to all of the different power-ups that can be found
in the blocks across the battlefield. Some of the powers are good and some are
bad, so if you don't know, I've listed them all here.

*Code* N = Normal. B = Battle


1. Bomb

Found in: N, B

The bomb. The most necessary item in Bomberman. None of this could be
possible without them! As far as I know, there isn't a cap on the number of
bombs you can have, so try to get as many as possible!


2. Fire

Found in: N, B

The more fire power-ups you have the longer the range of your bomb blasts.


3. Speed Up

Found in: N, B

The number of Speed Up power ups you have depends on how fast your
character can run around.


4. Bomb Kick

Found in: B

The Bomb Kick is just that. Your character now has the ability to kick a bomb
across the battlefield.


5. Cement Shoes

Found in: B

The cement shoes decrease your characters overall speed. If you already have a
Speed Up power up it will nullify it.


6. Exit Doors

Found in: N

The Exit Doors take Bomberman to the next level.


7. Fireman

Found in: N

The Fireman power up makes your character immune to any bomb blasts.


8. Walk Through Walls

With this, Bomberman can run through blocks.


9. Walk Through Bombs

Found in: N

With this, Bomberman can run through bombs.


10. Flak Jacket

Found in: N, B

The Flak Jacket makes your character invincible for a short amount of time.


11. Remote Control

Found in: N, B

With this handy tool, your bombs won't detonate until you press the X button.


12. Push

Found in: B

With the Push power up, your character can push another character with the
square button.


13. Heart

Found in: B

The heart will give your character an extra life. You can only carry one at a
time.


14. Egg

Found in: B

The egg contains a partner which will aid you in fragging all the other
competitors.


15. Skull

Found in: B

The skull is the only bad item you can pick up in the game. Your character
becomes infected with one of 10 debilitating illnesses which won't go away
until you pick up another item or pass the sickness to someone else. Here
are a list of the sicknesses:


Maxed Speed: Your characters speed is maxed out.

Maxed Slow: Your characters speed is dropped to the lowest possible level.

Diarrhea: Your character continually drops bombs.

Impotent: Your character can no longer drop bombs.

Feeble: Your character can drop no more than one bomb at a time. The power
of the bomb is also decreased to one.

Streak: When your character moves, he or she won't be able to stop until they
hit an obstacle.

Confusion: The directions your character moves are reversed.

Short-Temper: Your characters bombs's fuses are shortened.

Slow Motion: Your characters bombs's fuses are lengthened.

Warp: Your character randomly changes places with another character.


16. Rubber Bomb

Found in: B

The rubber bomb bounces around randomly if kicked.


17. Full Fire

Found in: B

The full fire power up gives everyone's bombs maximum power.


18. Punch

Found in: B

The punch power up a character can push forward bombs in front of them by
pressing square.


19. Land Mine

Found in: B

The first bomb a character puts down after picking this power up up becomes
invisible and goes off when someone steps on it.


20. Power Bomb

Found in: B

The first bomb dropped after picking up this power up has full power. If it's
kicked and hits someone, that character will be damaged by it.


21. Metabomb

Found in: B

The explosion given off from this bomb will go through blocks.


22. Multi-Bomb

Found in: B

With this power-up, a character can drop his or her maximum number of bombs
at once by pressing circle.


23: Power Gloves

Found in: B

With the power gloves a character can pick up bombs on the ground and other
characters by pressing circle.

3.4: Battle Stages

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


Here is a list of all the different battle stages in the game along with
descriptions of the stage and it's special features.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
   Beginner Level Stages
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


 1. Original

The normal stage found in all Bomberman stages. Very traditional with no
special features.


 2. One-Way Street

The One-Way Street level has a bunch of arrows pointing up, down, left and
right.If someone kicks a bomb on one of the arrows, the bomb will go in the
direction that arrow is facing.


 3. Warp Desert

The Warp Desert stage is full of warp zones that transport a character from one
place
to another.


 4. Take the Train

On this stage is a train that can carry anything put on it. The direction of the
train can
be changed by using the cross point.


 5. Factory

There are a number of conveyer belts on the Factory level that move in the
same direction as the belt itself.


 6. Life in the Slow Lane

A character passing over a marked section of the battle field will have their
speed changed to a random speed. There is only one destroyable soft block.


 7. Pipe City

There are a number of pipes on this stage. Anything inside one of the pipes
cannot be seen.


 8. SeeSaw Park

Characters can use the seesaws to their advantage by launching anyone or
anything on
the opposite side across the field.



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
  Normal Level Stages
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



 1. All Together Now

In All Together Now, the game begins with all characters next to one another
in the center of the battlefield.


 2. Every Which Way

This stage is filled with pipes sticking out of the ground. A bomb placed in
one of them will be transported to another.

This stage contains a number of different igloos that can be used for hiding.
There are weak spots in the ice that can be blown apart, and any bomb that
goes off inside an igloo will explode with maximum force.


 4. Coming and Going

Coming and Going is just like the Factory stage, but the direction of the
conveyer belts can be changed.

Another update, this stage is just like "One Way Street", except it has
markers that can change the direction of a moving bomb.


 6. Head in the Clouds

There are two platforms on this stage, the sky and the clouds. To traverse
from each platform characters bounce on trampolines.


 7. Switcheroo

Another update, Switcheroo is like "Take the Train" but the layout of the
train tracks is randomly generated.

An update of of "SeeSaw Park", this time the seesaw's move in sync with the
others.



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
  Advanced Level Stages

There isn't anything special about this stage besides the fact that everyone
starts out with maximum bomb blasts.


 2. Destination Unknown

A more advanced "Switcheroo", this stage has warp zones and a truck that
enters them.


 3. King of the Jungle

A remake of "Block World", in this stage trees with leaves that hide the
ground have been added and any bomb that goes off underneath one explodes
with maximum firepower.


 4. The Seven Seas

Any bombs that go in the ocean sink to the bottom. Complete with biting fish!


 5. The Fast Lane

A new version of "Coming and Going", a switch that can change the speed of the
belt has been added.


 6. Incoming!

A remake of "Pipe City", a bomb kicked through one of the pipes or a bomb
blast that extends towards a pipe has it's direction changed.


 7. Round and Round

Anyone who runs into a flower will be turned 90 degrees. The flowers are
grouped in twos, and if one of the flowers gets caught in a bomb blast, the
blast will redirect to the other.


 8. Robo Bomber

This stage has a giant robot that walks around the stage. If a character is
stepped on they will be paralyzed for a short amount of time.
