Overview
White Bomberman, aka The Bomberman, is the cheerful and upbeat primary representitive and protector of the Bombermen who inhabit Planet Bomber.
Despite being the protector of Planet Bomber, Bomberman's protection methods demonstrate very little care for the enviroments which he supposedly protects. Like all Bombermen, Bomberman can generate bombs out of thin air which he then uses to efficiently exterminate any threats.
When it comes to gameplay, Bomberman's bombs make him a tricky opponent. A clever player can easily take advantage of this ability and constantly keep a foe on their toes.
However, Bomberman has his flaws. His melee attacks are lackluster, and his weight leaves him helpless against juggling and other forms of air combos. Also, he can be harmed by his own bombs, making it a perilous game to rely solely on bombs.

Palutena Guidance
Pit: Gee Lady Palutena, this guy's got a lot of bombs!
Virdi: Duh! That's why he's called BOMBerman, dummy!
Palutena: Well, Bomberman is quite the tactician alright, but he struggles in confrontations. You're going to have to get up close and stop him from getting away.
Pit: Right!
Author's Note
Y'know, hearing Bomberman in the new Switch game, he sounds way different than I imagined he would.
As for the character, I like him. He's fun, and the ability to create bombs out of thin air is always nice.
The game was called Dynablaster on NES until Super Bomberman on SNES, which is a common problem with European games having different names (Starfox/Starwing, Ninja Gaiden/Shadow Warriors, etc.). The music is really catchy, and now that Bomberman is back as an exclusive character to Switch, it's the perfect time to put Bomberman in Smash.
Until Next Time!
