===================
1. Introduction
===================

Have you ever wondered what Bomberman Tournament would be like without battle
mode? I always play the multiplayer all the time. Quest mode is good, but when
you finally beat quest mode, you think the game is boring now, and you think you
should turn it in. Well DON'T!! Battle mode never gets boring. This is the best
bomberman game I ever played yet! You can link up with 4 players with only 1
game pak which is awesome. They added a new setting which is a fishing mini-game,
and they also have a new setting called super revenge! I think the whole game is
great, especially the multi player. This in depth guide is all about the battle
mode.This is my second guide I made. The first guide I ever made was for F-zero
Maximum Velocity. Actually, I made a bomberman guide first, but it never got
posted. I think It never got posted because it was too small. Well anyways,
there will be a few versions sooner or later, but I'm not gonna add a lot. The
first version of this guide has about everything that you need to know in it.
Yeah, I sent in some bomberman stuff and it got posted (thankyou CjayC) and I'm
guessing it made the game go into 10th place! It also went to 9th place! But now
it went down one and went into 10th again. I don't care though, I just want
people to realize this is a great game! Heh, I remember a long time ago where
the bomberman Boards were popular, the message boards was like in 5th place or
something, and the FAQs was in 3rd place! Well, anyways, I hope this guide helps
you out a lot, Enjoy!-slimjim25c

Hello, This is GSGold's part of the message!  I'll just say that Battle mode
always keeps the game fresh and new, like you bought it ten minutes ago!  This
guide will tell you about battle mode and the stuff you can do in it!  This
guide is made by both me and that other guy who said that article above this one!
Well, hurry up and read the thingy already! - GSGold

1:2. Updates.

11-6-01 This is version 1.4 I added a fishing map! And multiplayer questions, I
also made item icons too:) Well, that's all for this version
-slimjim

===================
2. Getting Started!
===================

Okay, REAL hard instructions here! Insert the game into the GBA and press the ON
button, if it doesn't work, you might need new batteries. (Always happens to me!)
Wait for all those logos to finish up, and press start a few times. (Unless you
want to hear the story, but this is a battle guide, not a Walkthrough for the
quest mode) Chose Battle, then choose which one you want.

2:1. One Player

Choose one player and set how many players you want. (you can have 1, 2, or 3
CPU players)

-----------------------------
| Char 1 | Player | CPU | Off |
|-----------------------------|
| Char 2 | CPU    | Off |     |
|-----------------------------|
| Char 3 | CPU    | Off |     |
|-----------------------------|
| Char 4 | CPU    | Off |     |
-----------------------------


Then to the major stuff...

2:2. One Player Settings
You can chose from these settings:

Computer: Easy/Normal/Hard
Rounds: 1-5
Time: 1min, 3 min, 5min, or infinite time.
Tie Break: On/Off/Random
Shuffle: On/Off
Skulls: On/Off
Fishing: On/Off
Revenge: On/Off/Super

If your confused about the sections, I'll tell what all the settings mean-

Computer: Determines the ability of the computer-controlled bomberman

Rounds: The number of rounds that a player must win to become the winner. If you
win won round, you get only 1 trophy which means one point.

Time: sets the time limit for the match

Tie break: If this is set on, when the match is at 40 seconds left, blocks from
the sky will crash onto the arena. The screen will continue to fill until one
player is left. If set on random, blocks will fall in a different pattern.

Shuffle: Turns random shuffling of the player starting positions on or off.

Skulls: Determines wether skulls can be destroyed by bombs or if they will just
be blown to another section of the screen.

Fishing: My favorite one! If this is set on, the person who wins the game gets
to go fishing! See section 6 for more information.

Revenge: If this is set on, and you die, you will be out of the arena but you
can throw bombs back in there. If it is set on super revenge and you kill some
one, you can get back in!

2:3. Controls

Alright! Okay, now here are the controls for the game, the thing you might hate
about bomberman a lot is... you can't pause the game!! This is very annoying.
Well anyways, here are the controls

L button: Unused
R button: Unused
A button: Place bomb
Excute menu action
Power glove: Pick up bomb
Line bomb: Lay down all bombs you own in a line, in the
direction you are facing
B button: Kick bomb: stop your kicked bomb
Cancel menu selection
Punch glove: send a bomb flyin
Select: unused
Start: unused
Control pad: Move bomberman
Navigate menus

Name: Skull
Color: just a white skeleton with red eyes
What it does: They poison you.
Skulls can do different things to you, here are all of the things it can do to
you
Lead Foot
Makes your player walk very slow. Like he's crawling on the ground.

Lightning Feet
Makes your player super fast (this one ain't that bad)

Diarrhea
Makes your player drop bombs at every step

Constipation
Leaves you unable to drop bombs at all (diarrhea and constipation poisons seems
like bomberman gets his bombs out of his behind, doesn't it?)

Wimp Syndrome
Only lets you drop one bomb with THE weakest firepower.

Reverse syndrome
Reverses your controls while your playing. For ex: When you press up bomberman
will go down and when you press down he will go up and if you press left he will
go right and if you press right, bomberman will go left.

Hyperactivity
Makes bomb blast quicker
Lethargy
bombs take longer to explode (this one is sometimes helpful too)

those are all of the skull poisons.To get rid of the poision, touch some one
else ( which I always do).

====================
4. Multi-player
====================

I gotta say, the bomberman Multi-player is one of the funniest things in the
whole game. I think it's better than just playing with the CPU's because when
you play with the CPU's it's not that much of a challenge and it just is a
little boring. It stinks too, whenever you hide a bomb like in a pipe or
something, the CPU will know and will get out of there, but when your friends
are playing, hehehehe.

4:1. Starting

What you need:
2 or more GBA Systems ( 1 for each player )
1 bomberman pak inserted into the first player system
2 players= 1 link cable
3 players= 2 link cables
4 players= 3 link cables

4:2. Cables

Connecting the cables

1. Make sure that each GBA power switch is set OFF! Do not have any GBA on
2. Connect the link cables to each other but make sure that the purple link
cable goes into the first player system and the other gray ones go into the
other GBA systems.
3. Now turn the power switch on, on each GBA systemm
4. Now at the main menu, highlight battle and press the A button
5. Now highlight Group [host a game] and press the A button
6. Now at the Send data screen, press A to begin.

4:3. Trouble shooting

Mistakes might happen. Here are all of the possible things you could of done
wrong

1. If your using a different link cable other than the GBA link cable
2. If you didn't plug the link cable into your gba system
3. If you unplug a link cable from one or more GBA's before the
communication process is complete
4. If a game pak is in another GBA that isn't the first player one
5. More than four GBA's are connected
That's all the things that can cause a problem.

4.4 Multiplayer Questions
People still e-mail me saying I'm having trouble with this and that!! I also
received a few questions about the multi player! So I decided to put them up
here.

Q: Where's the slot for putting the link cable in?

A: On the top of the GBA system, there will be a little slot in the middle.
There will also be this little word saying EXT. Pointing to the slot.

Q: Have you ever played Multiplayer?

A: Yeah

Q: I don't have any friends that have a GBA, so is the game bad with no battle
mode?

A: Well, you can still play with the CPUs, there fun and hard too. I think Quest
mode is 50% fun, and battle mode is 50% fun.

Q: What is a link cable? And do I need it to play the multiplayer

A: A link cable is this cord that lets you play with your friends, and yes you
do need one to play multi player.

Q: Does the game come with a link cable?

A: no

====================
6. Ways to win!
====================

1. Surround the evil bombers with bombs everywhere!, and watch the show.
2. Hide in the pipes or igloos or you could lay bombs in there.
3. Punch a bomb at a other bomber >:)
4. When a CPU walks into a dead end , lay a bomb right behind him so he will be
traped.
5. set the game on 1 min, tie breaker on, computer easy, and one round. Right
when the round starts, Go to the middle of the arena and watch the poor little
bombers get crushed!
6. In hi power, lay bombs where the CPUs are hiding.

====================
7. Fishing Game
====================

If you win the game, you get to go to the fishing mini-game! In this, you get to
fish for items. Right when you start, it will say do you know how to fish and
blah, blah, blah. Say no to start, or say yes to wait a while and read the
instructions then you'll start. After that, you will see a power bar on the
lower right on the screen. Press the A button once to get the power bar going
then press it one more time to set the power and cast. Bomberman will now cast.
Press up on the control pad to make it sink lower, you can also press down to
make it sink faster. If you want to bring your cast towards you, press right.
( note: You can't go left though so be sure what would be better ) After you got
a item, bomberman will reel it up. Isn't that nice? You don't have to do
anything. Be very careful when your fishing though. There's a item called "the
slow down" which makes you slow in the next battle. Don't get that. It looks
like a wooden sandle that is yellow and red. So try to avoid that. If you do get
the slow down, simply in the next round just kill yourself right when the round
starts and the slow down will jump out! Then kill some one and you'll get back
in with out the slow down! Anyways, at the bottom of the sea in the fishing game
is a bunch of slowdowns lined up together so try to get a item quick.

After you got a item, in the next round you'll be in a golden suit. Nothing
special or anything, it just changes the color of your bomberman.

The items that are in the fishing mini game are
Bomb up
Fire up
Roller skate
Line bomb
Slow down
Kick bomb

Those are all of the items in the mini game. After you got a item, it will
return you to the arena selection screen. If you refuse to play another game,
you won't be able to have the item that you got in the fishing game anymore.

Here is a picture of the fishing game

9. Rumors
===================

Lots of rumors are completely stupid and we all know there fake. Some are
interesting! I like rumors a lot. I mean I don't make them up, but I just like
trying them. Even though most of them don't work, it's fun! Well, here are all
the rumors I got, lots of people always e-mail me and say "is this true?" Well,
here are the rumors for this game

1. The IGN review for Bomberman Tournament contained a saying that Hudson soft
had a big secret for this game. Lots of people say it's a new battle arena and
others say you get to ride on Louie (that kangaroo in L. Forest) It's all
confusing and I don't think they even have a big secret in the game. They said
that a long time ago and I think they would of told us about now. Plus, everyone
has beaten like everything on this game so it must be a button code or something.

Answer:NO WAY! (note: on the bomberman Board, there has been a really crummy
rumor saying he got to swim with this one girl in the ocean, and the girl got
eaten by the whale and shot her up at twin dragons rock. Then he said, he
rescued her and she gave him a map which opened the secret battle map. He said
it was very colorful and had every object that the other maps had. A while later
he said he got married with the girl. Then they bought the house where sharkrun
trapped in. The house cost 999G too. A while later, Max burned down the house
and got into a fight with bomberman. Because Max wanted to marry the girl. After
when Max is defeated, the 5 bosses show up and you have to fight them all at the
same time! Pretty stupid eh? After that his topic got deleted by the moderators.
That was the very first rumor every on the Bomerman Board!)

2. Diseases effect the bomber in quest mode too.

Answer:NO WAY!

3. every 100,000,000 block, you find a heart to withstand a hit.

Answer:NO W-*whap!*  No

4. FireKong is hiding in the standard area, just bomb 3 tiles then yourself,
must have revenge on super, get back in the game and kill a bomber, you will
havbe remote control bombs and FireKong ability!

Answer: meh, it's not true, but that would be pretty useful if you had denote
bombs.

If someone has told you a rumor and you think it's true and all, e-mail me!

9. FAQ
===================

Q: Argh, I keep on getting slow downs in the fishing game! Is there a way to not
get the item?

A: Just avoid them!  Silly!

Q: Is battle mode better than quest mode? Because I don't have any friends to
play with and I heard this game is stupid without multiplayer

A: Well, to me I like battle mode more, but hey, you can play against a CPU at
least. It's really fun though with friends.

Q: This one guy "harvestpro98" said some stuff at this bomberman board. He said
a lot of codes a rumors. I didn't get to test the codes though because my game
got destroyed. Was the things he said true?

A: no, all those codes are fake. The topic was so stupid the moderators deleted
it.

===================
10. Version History
===================

Version 1.0- My first version I made. GSGold started the FAQ, and a while later
I added onto it and did some more stuff. Later on, the FAQ was completed!

Version 1.1- I updated a lot of stuff in this version. Like rumors, ways to win,
FAQ, and the fishing mini game.

Version 1.2- I added a new thing called challenges.

Version 1.3- I will add more challenges and some more stuff. I will also update
the battle maps.

I will make more versions and they will include just more challenges and I might
add something new
and
I might add more versions if someone finds out there's a secret arena or
something like that, and if someone gives me a good idea for something.
