Collect them, trade them, play with them, battle with them - there's been stacks of Bomberman cards over the years, some mere collectibles, some complex battle games! There's almost too many cards to keep track of; as of this writing this page has barely scratched the surface. Sometime, surely...!

A boxed set of cards released by Central Hobby (セントラルホビー) in March 1993 [src], sold for 1500 Yen. Otherwise a bit of a mystery!

(src: Bomberman Maniax)

A series of battle cards depicting characters, items and enemies from Super Bomberman, released by Takara (タカラ) in April 1993 [src] under their Colleca (コレカ) banner. Character cards feature a HP value and attribute on the front, and a description and radar graph on their statistics on the back; item cards can alter stats or deal damage. If that's too complicated, all cards also feature a Janken (or rock-paper-scissors) move on their top corner.

Two one-off sets of Top Trumps-inspired cards included as free gifts in Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK. Players choose a stat to compare, and the player with the highest numerical value wins their opponent's card, until one player has all the cards. The two sets use different stats.

The first set was packed in with issue 63, dated December 1997. It uses promotional art from Baku Bomberman, and is perhaps one of the few sources to claim how tall Bomberman is, at 135cm; the magazine assures us "each star's height has been accurately supplied by coders at Nintendo and Rare."

The second set was packed in with issue 114, dated March 2002, and uses a render from Bomberman Tournament. His Nintendo debut is pegged at 1991 because Europe skipped over Bomberman in favour of Bomberman II.

You can read more about these cards at Random Hoo Haas (Nintendo All-Star Battle Cards and Batman Vs. Tarzan and ONM Remembered (#67 and #70).

A series of collectible stickers that can be used in a competitive card game, published by Renzokuatari (連続当) in 1997. [src]


[information coming sometime, hopefully, maybe...!]

A competitive trading card game in September 1998.

A series of collectible stickers released on October 1998 by Media Factory that come in three categories: scenario stickers, featuring screen captures from the anime with a description of the events on the reverse side. Base stickers, an original image of the heroes or villains, and Version Up (バージョンアップ) stickers, translucent images of either a character's mail armour, companion or their B-Da Armour.


(src: kobepp33)

The Version Up stickers are intended to be applied atop of a base card to assemble a diorama of characters, B-Da Armor or armour upgrades. The first layer is dubbed and usually applies the character's B-Der Armor, while the second layer, Final Version Up (ファイナルバージョンアップ), adds their respective mech or animal companion.

Sold in packs of eight stickers for 100 Yen (containing 5 scenario stickers, 2 Version Up stickers and 1 base sticker).
