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.
2.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.
3.High Tops - In the blue resort. In level 3 under the bridge that has a box under it and a blue guy
on bridge.
4.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.
5.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.
6.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).
7.Samurai Head - N/A - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.
8.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.
9.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.
10.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).
11.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!!
12.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.
13.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.
14.Shogun Kimono - N/A - Beat the game with 120 cards.
15.Knight Shoes - N/A - Given to you at the beginning
16.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.
17.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).
18.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.
19.High Tops - Blue 3 - On Cliff, after first dam (get it beforehand)
20.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.
21.High Heels - N/A - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.
22.Knight Sword - N/A - Given to you at the beginning
23.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.
24.Iron Nuckles - Blue 1 - This one is easy. It is in the same room as the switch which opens the
exit.
25.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.
26.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.
27.Fan - Beat the game with 120 gold cards.
28.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.
29.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!!
30.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).
31.Golden Armor - Beat Bomberman 64 on hard mode with 120 gold cards in under 3 hours. This
will give you a gold suit, which includes: gold visor, gold suit, gold shoes, and gold gloves.
Many thanks to The Bomberman 64 Page for this tip.
Bonus Battle Levels - American Version
There are two ways to access the bonus levels in the American version. The hardest is to collect all the
gold cards.
For an easier route, go to the main menu, highlight BATTLE, and press START repeatedly as quickly as
possible. If you're quick enough you'll hear a chime sound and all 10 battle arenas will be available!
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.
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.
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.
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 move the angel over. 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.
Sound Test
To access a sound test option, beat the game in Adventure mode at normal difficulty.
View Credits
First beat the game with 100 Gold Cards, then finish the extra world by defeating Sirius. A CREDITS
option will appear on the OPTIONS menu.
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.
