Chasing Your Tail: The Sphinx-like Bolban has an armored front and a vulnerable tail.Captain Ersatz: Almost every major character in Bomberman Hero is a Captain Ersatz to a Star Wars character.He snaps out of it after your final battle with him. Build Like an Egyptian: Several levels on Kanatia.Boss Rush: The last planet of the standard game, Garaden Star, is a Boss-Only Level bonanza where Bomberman has to confront alternate versions of all the bosses in the game up to that point (including a "Best-of" final match with Nitros halfway through) before he confronts Bagular in a Sequential Boss fight in the star's last stage.

Boss-Only Level: All the bosses in the game are fought in their own self-contained arena stages.Bonus Stage: Has one after each of the first 4 bosses, in the form of simple timed areas with gems, power-ups and 1-ups to grab.Big Bad: Evil Bomber is the acting ruler of the Garaden Empire who masterminds the kidnapping of Princess Millian and the plot to resurrect Emperor Bagular, all to get revenge on Bomberman for defeating him prior.Despite being shown on the cover, Black Bomberman only shows up three times: in the last training level, a later level to blow up a wall and open the path for you, and finally in the Golden Ending congratulating White Bomberman.

Considering how handling vehicles tends to be, this can hardly be called a bad thing. The Bomber Copter at least gets to be used in a boss fight. Very underused in comparison to the Bomber Jet and the Bomber Marine.
