Quotes 

• Boomstick : Bomberman is a psychopathic cyborg slave forced to duel other slaves to the death in dimly-lit maze-like arenas for the entertainment of alien ter...

  Wizard : No, not that Bomberman, Boomstick, *White* Bomber the Bomberman, an alien robot warrior from the planet Bomber who belongs to an intergalactic police force protecting the galaxy.

  Boomstick : Oh. Well, his method of saving those planets is blowing the shit out of them, so he's all right with me.

  Wizard : Right, Bomberman cares little for the environment he is supposedly protecting, making him an unpredictable opponent.

• Wizard : [about Dig Dug]  His real name is Taizo Hori, which literally means "I Want To Dig". He is also the father of the more recent phenomenon Mr. Driller.

• Boomstick : [about Dig Dug]  His main weapon is one of the most cruel and deadly weapons I've ever seen. It's pretty much a cross between a bike pump and a harpoon.

  Wizard : An odd weapon, which I would normally question the efficiency of.

  Boomstick : But when he stabs you with it, you're gonna wish you die any other way than what Mr. Dig Dug has planned for you.

  Wizard : The average human body can only take around fifteen pounds per square inch of air pressure before death is assured. Every time Dig Dug pumps, over ten PSI is injected into his victim, quickly immobilizing them. Two or three pumps later, Dig Dug's target combusts.

  Boomstick : That is one horrible way to die. Imagine after being impaled, you're then slowly filled with air until you explode. Oh, man, this guy is sick.

• Wizard : Dig Dug also has a jackhammer, which he uses to burrow through the earth at an unimaginable speed. He has total control over his terrain and can maneuver through the ground just as easily as walking through an empty field, climbing and crawling without slowing down.

  Boomstick : That jackhammer can even force entire islands to split apart. But the strangest thing is the sound it makes. You'd think a jackhammer would sound like this...

  [shows a clip of a jackhammer being operated, making jackhammer sounds as it does so] 

  Boomstick : ... but Dig Dug's sounds like this.

  [plays the Dig Dug walking sound] 

  Wizard : Actually, Boomstick, that sound seems to occur each time he takes a step, not just when he's drilling.

  Boomstick : So... what, it's his feet? Man, that would get really annoying. No wonder this guy is a psycho.

• Wizard : While blasting his way through planet after planet, Bomberman finds numerous power-ups buried beneath the earth. Bomb Up gives him extra bombs, Accelerator increases his running speed, Armor gives him temporary immunity, the Explosion Expander gives his bombs a power boost, and Bomb Kick and Power Glove let him kick and throw bombs at his own leisure.

  Boomstick : And when he picks up Super Bombs, you know he means business. I'm talkin' T2: Judgement Day business.
