Number #14 in Keibunsha's Big Encylopedia series. This book is a strange hodge-podge of shilling the then-upcoming Bomberman '94, a few pages of series retrospective, and hints and tips covering the following games:

Sensible game coverage is featured alongside fun stuff like quizzes, activity pages, 4-koma comics and other silly extras, including a mock contest to decide who has the honour of becoming Bomberman's girlfriend (with some unfortunate 'jokes' about okama, a gay/drag queen stereotype).

Perhaps wisely, the subsequent encyclopedia books were handled by a different staff at Shogakukan, who offered far more game information instead of silly gags.

THE BOMBERMAN Graffiti / サ・ボンバーマングラフィティ

A bite-sized series retrospective of the console and handheld games in the series so far (the arcade and computer games aren't acknowledged), offering a paragraph for the story, battle game and general sum-up of each instalment. Also features a gallery highlighting stages from each game, as well as Bomberman's various death and stage-exiting animations.

Bomberman Original Story / ボンバーマンオリジナルストーリー

A tabloid-esque account on the rivalry between White Bomber and Black Bomber, giving them silly backstories for the sake of terrible jokes. "I worked on a construction site with a real nasty boss," White says, next to a screenshot of Bigaron trying to squash him with a hammer, for instance.

Scoop! This is Bomberman '94!!
スクープ! これがボンバーマン,94だ!!

Spans pages 137 to 142. A preview of Bomberman '94 working off the Special Edition early release, highlighting the various Louies and changes from '93's Battle Game. A giveaway is held on page 188; anyone who sends in an answered questionnaire (on page 192) could be one of the randomly-chosen five people to win a copy of Bomberman '94.

All-Japan Bomb Award / 全日本爆弾大賞

Two-page spreads found on pages 52, 70, 82, 96, 108, 120 and 132.

New Must-Have Items!! / こんな新アイテムか欲しい!!

Two-page spreads found on pages 54, 72, 84, 98, 110, 122 and 134.


A variety of potential joke power-up items.

Bomberman's Girlfriend Contest / ボンバーマンの彼女コンテスト

Spread across pages 143, 154~156 and 176~177. A bizarre comedy segment introduced under the pretense that if Bomberman is out saving the world 24/7, surely he deserves someone to come home to. Hosted by two robots who present eligible bachelorettes while asking themselves if they set any criteria for applying first.
