From the word go, Bomberman Jetters was designed to be multimedia and marketing sensation, releasing multiple lines of competition-orientated figurines and card games!
|
|
A majority of Bomberman Jetters products released during its launch (including Legend of Bomberman and the console game) included tokens printed on the product's packaging or manual, awarding a Bomber Point (or BP) value equivalent to 10% of the product's regular retail price. These were part of the Explosive Campaign (爆裂キャンペーン), a promotion that awarded exclusive prizes for mailing in Bomber Points, with three tiers of prize depending on the value of their Bomber Points. |
 |
Big Blast Course (大爆コース)The Explosive Deluxe Set (爆裂DXセット), which included the "Bomberman Original TV" (ボンバーマンオリジナルTV), a white television with built-in VCR and Shirobon's bobble sticking out the top, in addition to a Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance consoles, plus sets of Bashoot and Beast Shooter merchandise. This prize was limited to 10 winners and required 700BP. |

Middle Blast Course (中爆コース)The Explosive CD Player (爆裂CDプレーヤー) prize awarded a portable CD player (no idea if it was Bomberman-themed or not) and the Original Explosion CD (オリジナル爆裂CD), an exclusive CD containing... sound effects of explosions from various Bomberman games, in addition to other sounds of destruction including a house falling down. [src] This prize was limited to 100 winners and required 300BP. |

Little Blast Course (小爆コース)
The Limited Explosion Hobby Set (限定爆裂ホビーセット) awarded a set of four exclusive colour variant toy sets: two sets of Beast Shooter Shirobon and MAX, and two sets of Bashoot Shirobon and MAX. It's unknown which specific toys were included, or any differences they had to the retail sets. This prize was limited to 890 winners and required 50BP.
The campaign ran from November 15th 2002 to January 31st 2003. Bomber Points were removed from all products released after the cut-off date.
Bashoot is a series of small plastic figurines (approximately 3cm tall) mounted on customisable platforms referred to as discs (ディスク). The disc is comprised of three parts: the top base (トップベース), the battle ring (バトルリング), and the bottom base (ボトムベース); the figurine is referred to as the chip (チップ) and rotates into the peghole on top. The various parts can be swapped out for different performance in rolling or colliding with other discs. |

The intended play pattern is to use the Easy Shooter (イージーシューター) to launch the figures into each other, and take turns to see which player can knock over the most discs. The Starter Set pack-in leaflets suggest other games, including:

The "Clear Type" figurines are cast in translucent plastic with paint applications, and exclusive to this set. The random parts are the same as the Modding Parts Booster 01 and 02 sets.
Due to the size of the box, the figurines are prone to getting crushed or warped, meaning the character will be leaning to one side... and since it's blind-boxed, you won't know their condition until it's opened! In addition, it's easy to accidentally chip off the paint applications, perhaps because of a lack of bonding with the translucent plastic. Be careful, I guess!

Bakuretsuman is a series of soft-plastic figures (approximately 6 to 7cm tall) that mount on hard-plastic bases with a detachable articulated disc-firing arm, allowing them to swivel and turn. The objective of the game is to strike the pressure plate on the opponent's figure's chest, which pops its torso off*. Alternately, the disc-firing feature can be used for target practise or to perform trick shots. Released in November 2002, retail price 680 Yen. [src] |

ボンバーマンジェッターズ ビーストシューター
|
Beast Shooter (ビーストシューター) is a franchise from Konami of squat plastic toys around 4.5cm tall that roll around on "cores" exposed beneath their flat bases. These cores could be swapped out to change how the toy would roll: known cores include centre core (センターコア), a large marble; dash core (ダッシュコア), a rolling wheel; and cap core (カープコア ), a static display base. The toys are packaged with an Attack Shooter (アタックシューター) for launching them forward, as well as thematic targets to knock down or use as obstacles. The instruction manual proposes a number of possible play styles, split into "speed type", "power type" and "skill type": |  |
Ultimate Runner (アルティメットランナー): Compete to see who can roll their figure the furthest using the Attack Launcher.
Jetters Cosmo Race (ジェッターズコスモレース): Build a track for the figures to race around; place targets and subtract points or time if a player hits them.
Space Survivor (スペースサバイバー): Take turns launching the figures into each other; whoever falls off the playing field loses.
Bomber Soccer (ボンバーサッカー): Knock the bomb target into the opponents' goal.
Planet Sniper (プラネットスナイパー): Place a figure between two targets and try to knock it down without touching the targets.
The Versus Field (BM-03) boxset includes a playing mat that seemingly adds a grid-based play style into the mix.

Custom Menko Battle BANG! (改造メンコバトルBANG!) was a series of collectible battling menko produced by Takara in 2002. Players can customise their menko by placing metal weights inside the plastic frame to offset its centre of gravity. [src] [src] Two Bomberman Jetters branded Starter Sets (スターターセット) were released in October 2002, priced at 980 Yen. [src] They appear to be the only Bomberman products for this line.

ボンバーマンジェッターズ トレーディングカードゲーム

A competitive trading card game by Konami.

Menco Stadium was a series of collectible battling menko produced by Konami in November 11 2001 [src]. The menko are interchangable rectangular cards depicting characters from anime or Konami video games (including Metal Gear Solid and Tokimeki Memorial) and are slotted into a thick soft-plastic protector. A special set of rules can also be used, awarding points based on how a card is flipped. [src] Certain cards even boast special traits, including the ability to change position, win additional points for reversing or knocking out the opponent's card, or an immunity to either reverses or knockouts. Dice rolls and janken (rock paper scissors) moves are also printed on cards. A Bomberman Jetters booster pack containing 5 menko and 5 protectors was released on November 21st 2002, priced at 480 Yen. [src]. There are 18 possible menko to collect. |
