Layout[]
Planet Bomber is the home planet of the Bomberman race. This level takes place in a maze-like underground cave where White Bomberman goes through, using his bombs to blow up the wall bricks and his enemies, as he is on a mission to rescue his best friend, the black Bomberman, and the players will team up with him to get through this place.
The white Bomberman can be picked up like a weapon by planting Bomberman-style bombs by pressing the Fire button. These bombs explode in a "plus" shape, and are the only thing capable of destroying the many large brick walls placed all over the level. Various items and powerups can be found hidden underneath many of these walls, but be careful, as destroying a brick wall may release enemies that are trapped on the other side of them. Also, be careful when planting bombs, as their explosions can not only destroy brick walls and enemies, but they can hurt the player as well. Bombs can also be detonated by the explosions from other bombs, allowing you to set up complex chains of explosions to take out tricky enemies.
The first and second rooms of the level are based on the classic Bomberman games. It is a labyrinth of sorts, crammed full of numerous brick walls that separate the room into multiple small chambers, many of which contain groups of enemies. There are also gear launchers mounted inside the terrain, which launch spinning gears at preset angles. Hidden somewhere in the room are both a key and a locked door, as the player must locate them both to reach the next room.
The third room contains the same elements as the first but is more confining. At the last room, the black Bomberman will be rescued and the level will be completed.
If cleared for the first time, a cutscene will play of the Mushroom Kingdom Coalition exiting the Bomber Arena throughout one of Bomberman's bomb blasts. They are soon confronted by Meta Knight, who prepares to fight them, but Kirby, who recently joined the Coalition, stops him from doing so. After a backstory, which included how the Coalition found Kirby in his sleeping state when they first met him, Meta Knight is convinced into joining the Coalition as he was to prove that he is the "greatest warrior" by defeating The Fusionist.
