Saturn Bomberman Fight!! cameos





The three secret bosses are actually cameos of one-shot characters from Saturn Bomberman Fight!!: Mami, Lewysia and Deral. Pump is not fought, but instead hops atop the Bomber Shuttle once Chaos Bomber has been defeated; the significance of this (if any!) is unknown.


Japanese - English

The year of copyright is updated for the English release, and "PUSH" is changed to "PRESS".


Japanese - English

The Japanese version uses a unique font for the main menu, but the English version just uses the normal in-game font.


Japanese - English

The Japanese version spells out all dialogue and menu text letter-by-letter, which can be sped up by holding the A Button. The English release scraps that and makes all text appear instantly.


Japanese - English

The menu buttons in the Japanese version use large text and barely-visible icons behind them. The English versions drop the text and make them into graphical icons, with brand new images and an added gloss to the top corner.


European (French - German - English)

The European version features French and German language translations, which can be selected after choosing New Game (this is the only way to change the language). These translations make use of new all-caps fonts to accomodate cedilla, diaeresis and other symbols.


Two unused mugshots for Bomberman; one zoomed out a little to expose some of his upper body, and one identical to the in-game mugshot, except it has shading.
I imagine the former was dropped due to it not fitting in with the rest of the mugshots, and the latter because trying to incorporate shading when a sprite can only have four colours would've gotten pretty ugly.


This frame of Hurricommander appears only for a split second right as the fight begins, just before he begins floating. That's kind of like being unused, right?


Pump only appears after Chaos Bomber is defeated, bouncing on top of your shuttle if you reload your file. You only see her frontal graphics in-game, but a full set of animation is present in the graphic data, but no mugshot. Given how every other female character exclusive to Saturn Bomberman Fight!! is fought as a bonus boss, it's clear Pump was meant to be included too.

Not quite unused, but among the graphics for the Peace Town NPCs are sprites for Mami, Lewysia, Deral and Pump, with only their front-facing graphics. Maybe they were to appear there after being defeated? Who knows.
