Boss Analysis # 51

In the fifty-first episode of Boss Analysis, I return to Super Bomberman with the fourth game in the series and attempt to defeat each of the bosses with no upgrades whatsoever, just like episodes 18 and 20 with the second and third games respectively.
This means no firepower upgrades, no additional bombs, no speed-ups, etc. Is it wrong that I have so much fun playing Bomberman this way? Yes, probably, but if it makes me happy, then who cares?
Bagura may have lost his body, but his brain continues to run rampant. Now with a new assassination team under his command, he sends them and the Bombermen through time and hopes this is the ploy to finally finish off his adversaries once and for all. Does the plan work? Well, considering there's also a Super Bomberman 5...

A " push your enemy really far away without hurting him attack" is about the dumbest thing a boss could have done in a bomber man game.

In multiplayer they are smarter than in singleplayer cause they will actually calculate the shove right and push you into a Bomb Explotion

Mega Bomberman for the Genesis shares assets with Super Bomberman 3, the only difference being the bosses. You should do that after.

[@hinotoritheobliterator6556]

The best part of Centibeetle is how out of place he is. A prehistoric boss being an ancient artifact? Makes sense An Edo era boss being a mechanical shogun? Yeah, I can see that. The 1960's boss being a robotic soldier? Makes sense to me! A far future boss being a… centipede? Uh…

[@ooftime2557]

My best guess is that it is a genetically modified centipede or smth like that

Small detail on second Big Boss (Machinder). His eye is focused on Bomberman. If him is on opposite side of the "table", the boss you look at the player.

[@jvts8916]

So this is the game in which Bagular/Bagura started to do weird things to himself. My only Bomberman game is Bomberman Hero and by that game he's uploaded his brain in a bunch of discs.

[@Nehfarius]

In fairness, when your enemy is BOMBERman, you kind of have to take drastic measures to survive your fights.

[@grandgalvatron9604]

@@derthevaporeon The sounds past the bells (Explosion and female scream) is the game over music from Meteos on the planet Jeljel. The bell sounds actually came from that game as well when you win against Jeljel.

[@derthevaporeon]

@@grandgalvatron9604 Ah, I see now. The more you know.

[@enigminator3578]

The music in the boss rush with the 4 Bomber Kings sounded like a remix of the last stage theme in Bomberman 94'. And ironically enough the last boss theme is a remix of the regular boss theme in the same game afore mentioned.

[@DoctorSpacebar]

The second big boss is BURIKIIIII DAIOOOOOOH EDIT: Ah, bosses with unpredictable, overly long invulnerability phases. So obnoxious. I remember Lech Kril from Warframe could only be hit after a certain attack, and there's also Chaugmar from Bravely Default- although if you have a DEF ignoring ability like Pressure Point, Chaugmar drops like a chump. I forget if Salve-Maker fixed damage attacks hit through his defenses too?

[@thel-iteralone4592]

It's kind of weird knowing that the final boss theme of SB3 was used for SB4's robot bosses. Also, what do you think of Super Bomberman R?

[@GuidingLightAngel]

I think it's meant to show that Bagular isn't messing around anymore, the theme of the final boss of your past adventure is nothing more than major boss material now.

You do you on your order. I just hope that you eventually do Super Bomberman R since that is also a Super Bomberman game.

[@LucasRCD]

5 years... Worth the wait, honestly. Can't comment on 4's bosses much, outside of them reminding me a lot of previous games' bosses in terms of design and patterns. I always found the first game to have strange bosses, the penultimate one being the stuff of nightmares to kid me. Looking forward to see you suffer in the robot Bombermen gauntlet with 1 Firepower bombs, I can already hear the bells on that one just for the strict time limit alone, since unlike later games, the time limit for boss fights are the same as regular stages. Also I bet Git is gonna have a field day eventually covering the fifth game, especially the true final boss and his infinite machine gun bomb throwing he tends to do and the fact he basically never stops moving. I do wonder if the optional Honey and Kotetsu fight shall be covered? I remember never being able to beat them as a kid, and so I'd just reset the game if I accidentally went through the portal that lead to them.

the four kings bit is prolly a reference to japanese culture which is why so many japanese made things have four bosses n stuff the name of the reference is the four heavenly kings... king prolly means something different in japanese beacause i have seen many original material refer things to four kings... people usually change them to knights or an elite four or something similar.

[@chasecollins3720]

[@LucasRCD]

Funny you say that, because I think it's either 3 or 5 which makes the characters say "Shimata!", which IS a Japanese swear, when cornered by bombs with no way to get out, in multiplayer mode, before being blown to smithereens.

[@Hadaron]

Huh. I can see a lot of comparisons between the Bomber Kings of this game and the Crush Bombers from one of my childhood favorites that probably wasn’t very good but I still loved - Bomberman Generation. Hammer Bomber - Megaton Bomber Jet Bomber - Eagle Bomber Lady Bomber - Beauty Bomber Bazooka Bomber - Assault Bomber Bomber Great - Bomber Elite They’re extremely similar and even their unique moves are almost the same. I wonder if they’re just different translations of the same characters, because it really can’t be understated how similar they are.

[@sammer1097]

Your videos on these old Bomberman games are really interesting to me because I've loved every Bomberman game I've played, but have almost no knowledge of the pre-N64-era games. This one was particularly interesting because I recognize the rival bombers. They reappear in Bomberman Generation (my 2nd favorite entry, after Bomberman 64: The Second Attack) as the Crush Bombers. I'm certain it's the same guys despite having different names (likely a translation thing) because of the similar appearances and fighting styles. I remember Assault Bomber (Bazooka Bomber) and the giant boss that came after him were my favorites because of their charmingly hilarious dialogue and fun attack patterns. I would fight them over and over again. On the other hand, I pity any poor soul who attempts a no powerup run of the game, particularly because of Eagle Bomber (Jet Bomber), who is so damn fast I'm certain his special move is unavoidable if you haven't upgraded your own speed.

9:08 If I can recall correctly, they did the same in Adventure Island 3, which reused 75% of the music from the previous game or something.

[@derthevaporeon]

@@geekdaparaiba Yes. And now that I recall, Super Bomberman 3 and 4 reuse music from the TG-16 Bomberman games. Their regular boss themes are also picked up from their unused forms from the first TG-16 Bomberman game.

[@TheMasterLagger]

If I remember correctly, the Bomber Kings reappeared in Bomberman Generation under a different title (The Crush Bombers) and different names. More mistranslation shenanigans or did the translation team actually get it right?

36:38 That's just an arrangement of the track used for Final Area (Which isn't desert themed either) in Bomberman '94/Mega Bomberman. Pretty much single track in this game is just an arrangement of music from a previous Bomberman game's without too much thought put into context. June Chikuma does have a lot of experience with Arabic music though, which you can definitely hear in some of these tracks.
