Weird Skating Trick
For this trick, you MUST have a heart, and remote bombs help. In Black Fortress, on the level with the cars, stand on the very edge of a platform, and place a bomb, but dont move. The bomb should be underneath you. When a car is coming, detonate the bomb, and hopefully you will lose your heart, go spinning around like always when you lose a heart, and fall off the platform into the path of the car while you are still flashing. Once you have stopped flashing, you can move around, but Bombermans legs will not move! He looks like he is standing still, but moving!

Unfortunately, you cant throw bombs like this, only kick them, so just grab your heart again, and run into a car so your heart flies out, and run along to get it again. Its not much, but it looks pretty cool.


Secret Room In Snow Land
This trick really serves no purpose except to spy on a snowman. Go to the Snow level. On level one in the first room, go create the avalanche. When the avalanche is gone, go up all the way to the top of the hill, and fall left off the edge. There is a snowman on the ledge, but dont bother with him. Go strait up. In the corner you can go into a little secret room, and watch the snowman! It doesnt help that much, and if you blow up the far wall, you get a prize, but thats pretty much it.


Secret Areas in White 1
Make your way to the place where the wind blows. Climb to the second level of that area and and get close to the wall and change your camera angle. You will see an area with a lot of plants. Walk through the wall into this area and blow up the plants. You will find lots of dimonds and power-ups.

To find the other secret, destroy the ice covering the sign and read it. It will warn of avalances. You have to cause an avalance to get here. So go to the top of the hill [the one on the left when you start] and place a bomb at the very top. When it explodes, youll have to run!!! Run to avoid the falling snow. When it clears up, run to the top and then go fall onto the platform with the snowman on it. Run to the wall and rub on it until you find a passage. On easy mode theres a powerup, and on the hard mode theres a custom piece.


Special Traps

Go to single battle. Choose your charecters and put all computers on 1 crystal. Now choose your stage. When the timer reaches 59 seconds it will say hurry hup and you better run!!! All the traps will come in effect. The traps are listed below.

Weird Flying Trick
In Black 3 (the third level in Black Fortress), in the begining, when you first start, go to the side platform where there is a heart. Blow up the box and kill the fire-blower thing. Get the heart. Then, set off the alarm by:

stepping on the switch and crossing to the other side when youve crossed, go to the right where there is a little path of red (currently) squares that lead to an elevator. step on one of the RED squares. The alarm will sound. Since you have the heart, this should work. Put down a bomb and stand on it. When it blows up, you should start to float when you try to walk. Its pretty cool.

Once youve done this, step on the switch marked "." after crossing back over to de-activate the alarm.


View Your Custom Bomberman
Wanto to take a look at your Bomberman before heading into battle? Easy.¿In the main screen of the Custom Bomberman menu, press Z to rotate your Bomberman clockwise and R to rotate him counter-clockwise.


Bonus Battle Levels
To get four new battle levels, get 100 gold cards and beat Altair on Easy mode. Then beat Rainbow Palace to unlock two new battle levels. To access the other two battle levels you must do the same thing in Hard mode. Good luck!


Full Power Option
Collect all 120 gold cards. Then, a "Full Power" selection will appear on the options screen. This option allows any level to be started with maxed out Red bombs, and the remote item.


How the Gold Card system works
For each of the first or third stages of a level, there are three cards that can be found by blowing up boxes. Before you begin a level, or when it is paused, there is a display of how many gold cards you have found or have yet to find. In the display, the cards you get by blowing up boxes will fill up the first three spaces. The next space is for the enemy card, which can be gotten on the 30th enemy killed in any stage. The last card is the time card. You will recieve it automatically if you beat the stage within the target time.


Battlemode Tips
There is an easy way to get rid of your rivals in Rock Garden and other playfields. Hold B and then press A to pick up a bomb. Then bank one off someones head, and while they are still dizzy pick em up and throw em off!

Also, if you die and become a ghost, if you ran into another player you will hang on them and you will be able to control them for a while. Use this advantage to make the players run into bombs and (hopefully!) cause a draw.


Easy Way to beat Altair
When Altair combines with his ship at the beginning kick a bomb at him and he will be dizzy. Go up to him and pick him up (like a bomb) and throw him off the edge and you win! I beat him in 5 seconds doing this.


Maxed out Mode
Get all 120 gold cards and go to the options menu. The last ????? will now be replaced by a new option. With this option on you can start any level with red bombs, remote bombs, eight bombs, and almost every bomb power you can get in the game.


Hidden Jewels in Blue Resort
When you see a house with a window open, toss a pump bomb in the window and wait for it to explode.


Bomberman Parts
Several Bomberman parts are scattered throughout the game. Heres how to find them:

Knight Armor - You already have it when you start.

Drill Arm - This battle mode item can be found on Black 1. It is at the very end of the 5th room on the median. In order to get there you must fall from one of the platforms, onto the median, and bomb jump your way up 2 more medians. The remote is helpful. Blow up the box at the end of the room and the drill arm is yours.

High Tops - In the blue resort. In level 3 under the bridge that has a box under it and a blue guy on bridge.

Dragon Head - Green ??? - As shown in the final credit sequence, create a bomb staircase up to the teleporter in the first section. The teleporter will take you to another small room which contains this costume piece.

Iron Goggles - Red ??? - There are three metal doors one the first level, all of which need red bombs to open. This costume piece is located inside the door which is connected to your starting platform. There is a small ramp right before it, so youll have bomb jump to enter.

Chicken Head - White 1 - On the final section of this level, there is a cottage with a snowman on top, which you need to destroy to reach the switch activating the ski lift. Dont blow up the house. Destroy the snow man with little bombs. Then use the small ledge to create a bomb jump to the top of the house. There will be a small platform to the right of the house with one tree (the costume piece). After getting the piece, fall off the platform to the left (towards the moutain).

Samurai Head - N/A - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.

Dragon Mail - Green 3 - On the first section, youll notice a teleporter across a bit of water, which you cant reach at first. Get the detonator, and remove all the blocks in that area. Then put a bomb in the elevator (dont detonate it yet!). Then put two large bombs, one on top of the other, against the wall, as close to the edge of the platform as possible. The easiest way to do this is to face the wall and throw the bombs. Then use the elevator to go up, and line yourself up with those bombs. Then carefully walk off and push in the direction of the teleporter. If all goes well, you should bounce off the bombs and into the teleporter.

Iron Armor - White 1 - Go the way of the avalanche. At the very top of the second section is a cottage. Blow it up with a big bomb. On the other side is a tree with the costume piece.

Cat Suit - Blue 3 - After draining the water, it is in one of the pots near the edge, under a bridge (where it was previously underwater).

Cat Hood - N/A - To get the cat hood go to that hole in the building where you can get throw a bomb in to get jems,That is the Entrance! Set up some Bombs that lead from the stairs to this window, you dont need to stack Em. once in the house just steer towards the pot!!

Dress - Black 3 - The instructions to get this piece are actually in the credit sequence. On the second section, there is an elevator block which is seemingly unreachable. Complete the section as normal, and activate the first elevator. Going up will take you to a suspended platform with three planks. Walk of the last plank, and you should fall on top of one of the four sections below. Use a couple small bombs to bomb hop from one section to another, until you find the other section. This secret section is rather large, but isnt to difficult. The costume piece is near the gold card, I believe.

Rocking Horse - Red 3 - Getting to this costume piece is fairly easy compared to some of the others. At the very end of the level, there will be a platform which you need to make fall by destroying the supporting pillars. Before you do that, fall through the hole it will eventually plug. This costume piece should be in a furnace block real close by. Use the tracks to escape the area.

Shogun Kimono - N/A - Beat the game with 120 cards.

Knight Shoes - N/A - Given to you at the beginning

Dragon Spikes - Green 3 - On the last section of this level (with the big tower), on the far wall of the structure, facing away from the teleporter which brought you here, is a secret entrance. It looks like a wall, but you can walk through it. You can find it by pulling the camera in as close as possible, and standing next to the wall. Rotate the camera until it is inside the building. There will be two pots in there, one of which is the Dragon Spikes.

Iron Sneakers - White 3 - Go through the right door once you start. When sliding down the slide, it is in a tree to the far left (opposite side than the switch).

Cat Paws - Red 3 - There is only one metal door on this level, and the cat shoes are behind it. The red bomb is actually in the barrel which is close to the door, but dont blow up the barrel which you need to walk there by accident. If you do, just leave the area and come back.

High Tops - Blue 3 - On Cliff, after first dam (get it beforehand)

Bunny Socks - Black 3 - In the second section, there is a [::] switch. On a wall right next to it are a couple blocks. One of them wil have the costume piece.

High Heels - N/A - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.

Knight Sword - N/A - Given to you at the beginning

Dragon Gloves - Green 1 - After receiving the Red Bombs, head towards the second section, and enter the teleporter on the left (which is obscured behind a wall). You will need the Red Bomb to blow up the blue pillars. After going through the teleporter, this costume piece will be easy to find in that room.

Iron Nuckles - Blue 1 - This one is easy. It is in the same room as the switch which opens the exit.

Slash Claws - Red 1 - Knock down the planks to go the alternative way. Near the exit, you will find yourself right above a single block on a short railroad track. kick a bomb off your higher ground, but use the R-button to stop it as soon as it leaves the platform. It should land right on top of the piece. After the explosion, drop down and get the piece. Use the broken tracks to fall down to the bottom level.

Chicken Wings - White 3 - Once first starting, head through the white door. This costume piece will be easy to find, but the strange view might make it seem harder than it is. The costume piece will be out on a ledge in that section, and somewhat hard to navigate to.

Fan - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.

Pony Tails and Duck Feet - You can find these custom parts in Rainbow Palace in Stage 3. In the main room, in the wall closest to the small stair case in the ground, there is an opening in the wall. You go through the wall and use a bunch of bombs to work your way through the platforms in the sky until you reach a large platform with two blocks that can be blown up. After they are blown up, the Pony Tails and Duck Feet are yours.

SunGlasses - The sunglasses are hidden on Black Level 5-3. To get them is not easy. First you must hit the panel on the floor that has 2 dots on them. You then go across and hit the panel on the floor that has 4 dots on them. Proceed back and then hit the panel with 3 dots on it. Now here comes that hard part. If you are facing straight(right after you get off the elevator) go and take the path that appears when you hit the panel with 3 dots. Go up the stairs when you get to them. The best way I found to do this part is this: 1. Put two big bombs on top of each other against the wall on the other side. 2. Place another big bomb just a little bit away from the 2 big bombs. 3. Make a bunch of little bombs leading back to the wall on the other side, but make them the right distance so that you can bounce from one bomb to another. Go back up the staircase that you went up before and jump on to the bombs you just laid out. If you did it right and get a little lucky. You will bounce across and end up on top of the other side. If you made it, head for the elevator and continue down the paths until youre by the other elevator. You will see that there is a floor now connecting the two other floors. A lot of people must have wondered how to get those there. Go across those floors and you will find a box. Blow up the box and youll get it!!

Duck Float - This custom part can be found in Stage 1 of Rainbow Palace. First you must reach the switch using a bunch of bombs. Once you get the switch, a few platforms will move, letting you reach the exit. Before going to the exit, reach the last platform in front of it and pump a bomb (remote bombs are a must). Throw the bomb onto the platform directly to your right. Pump another bomb and throw it to the platform after the first to your right and lastly, pump one more bomb and throw it onto the last pumped bomb so that it bounces off a lands on another platform (the one closest to the custom part). Then you jump on the first bomb (just fall onto it and let yourself bounce to a platform. DONT tilt the joystick while you do it or youll bounce off a fall down). Youll bounce to the next bomb and then to a high platform. Fall from there to your other bomb and youll land on the platofrm where theres a block that contains the Duck Float. I found it useful to get a heart item first (usually from Blue Resort) before you try this. Drop a bomb in front of the block and detonate it. Your heart item will protect you from the blast and the Duck Float is yours (its probably much easier to fall and die after you get this than to work your way back).
