Assist Trophy

  • Bomberman: The main protagonist of the games appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When summoned in battle, Bomberman will run and jump across the stage, laying down bombs. After a few seconds, the bombs detonate in cross-shaped patterns reminiscent of the original Bomberman games, dealing damage and knockback to the enemies hit. Enemies can move the bombs around by hitting them, and Bomberman can also be defeated.

Trivia

  • Bomberman is the first third-party universe to have an Assist Trophy, but not a playable character.
