Bomberman Max Blue Champion Nintendo Gameboy Vintage Video Game GB

Description

Bomberman Max: Blue Champion is one half of a dual-release Game Boy Color title from Hudson Soft, launched in 2000 as part of a clever two-version strategy clearly inspired by the success of the Pokemon series. While both Blue Champion and its companion Red Challenger deliver the same core experience — classic overhead Bomberman gameplay across eighty areas divided into five zones, each with a dozen levels — the two versions contain exclusive content that can only be fully experienced by linking up with a player of the opposite version via the Game Boy Color’s infrared port. In Blue Champion you play as Bomberman himself, working through level objectives that range from defeating all enemies to surviving to the exit within a time limit.

The game introduces Charabombs, collectable creature companions that can be powered up through gameplay and then pitted against another player’s Charabomb in battle mode — a strategic Rock-Paper-Scissors style confrontation conducted wirelessly via the infrared link. Each version of the game contains unique Charabombs and exclusive levels, so true completion requires cooperation with someone owning the opposite cartridge. The core Bomberman gameplay is as satisfying as ever, with a full arsenal of bomb upgrades affecting blast radius, bomb count, throwing, kicking and more. For Bomberman fans who appreciated the depth of the classic games, Blue Champion delivers exactly that core experience while adding just enough new wrinkles to keep things exciting throughout all eighty areas.
