Bomberman
64
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.
Bomberman Parts
Several Bomberman parts are scattered throughout the game. Here's how to find
them:
1.
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 you'll 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. Don't 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, you'll notice a teleporter across a
bit of water, which you can't reach at first. Get the detonator, and remove
all the blocks in that area. Then put a bomb in the elevator (don't 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 don't 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 isn't 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 don't 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 you're 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 you'll 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. DON'T tilt the joystick while you do it or you'll
bounce off a fall down). You'll bounce to the next bomb and then to a high
platform. Fall from there to your other bomb and you'll land on the platofrm
where there's 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 (it's probably much easier to
fall and die after you get this than to work your way back).
Golden

Bonus Battle Levels - Japanese
Version
If you have the import version of Hudson's Bomberman 64, you can find some
cool hidden battle levels.
You
need the Hudson JoyCard 64 controller for this to work. Go to the title screen,
put the "Slow Switch" on position Hu and wait five seconds. You should
now hear a sound that confirms that the trick worked. Choose Battle Mode and you
can access four new secret stages.
Bonus Level
To access the Rainbow Palace, collect all 100 Gold Cards and beat Altair again.
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.
Endgame Bonus
Get all the Gold Cards then beat Sirius in the Rainbow Palace. Now go to the
Options screen and select Options. Congratulations! You may now preview the
ending and credits whenever you want. You can also play two new levels in battle
mode.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Quick Recover
When Bomberman is dizzy, move the analog stick around until he recovers.)
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, you'll 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
there's a powerup, and on the hard mode there's a custom piece.
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 don't bother with him. Go strait
up. In the corner you can go into a little secret room, and watch the snowman!
It doesn't help that much, and if you blow up the far wall, you get a prize, but
that's pretty much it.
Sound Test
To access a sound test option, beat the game in Adventure mode at normal
difficulty.
Special Traps
Highlight battlemode and press START very, very, very fast until you hear a
chime. Go to battle. mow go to options. Put battle on any number. Put time on i

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
you've 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. It's pretty cool.
Once
you've done this, step on the switch marked "." after crossing back
over to de-activate the alarm.
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 don't 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 Bomberman's legs will not move! He looks like he is standing
still, but moving!
Unfortunately, you can't 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. It's not much, but it looks pretty cool.
