| INTRODUCTION |
'-.-'-.-'-.-'-.-'
Welcome to my Bomberman Jetters battle mode FAQ! I created this because
I think this is one of the best multiplayer games ever. I spent at least
5 hours on this FAQ so I hope you like it!
.-'-.-'-.-'-.-'-.

.-'-.-'-.-'-.-'-.
| THE KILLER SHOT |
'-.-'-.-'-.-'-.-'
Bomberman-You automatically get a Power Glove, and any bomb you pick
up almost immediately turns into a Dangerous Bomb.
-Use it when the stage is closing in, or when they are slow, either
with Sandals or with Slow Disease.
Max-You get full bombs, blast, speed, a Super Power Glove, a Bomb
Kick, and a Punch.
-You can do it when you want to do the Walking Bomb version 2.0
listed under 'Techniques' below, or to quickly surround an enemy
with bombs.
Mermaid Bomber-All bombs on-screen disappear.
-Use it when either you or your teammate are about to get blasted.
Note that it doesn't get rid of the rockets on the Rocket de
Boom stage.
Thunder Bomber-Lightning strikes around you, stunning enemies.
-Use in crowded areas or dead ends. If your opponent is hit, it
will actually stun longer than if, for example, you hit them
with a bomb. You can then easily place a bunch of bombs around
them.
Flame Bomber-You are invincible for around 20 seconds. You can't set
bombs and anyone that touches you gets stunned.
-If 'Sudden Death' in the Setup menu is on 'Super,' wait until the
last 10-15 seconds before you use it. You'll be invincible until the
last block falls, killing your opponent but not you. You should also
use it when you're going to die.
Grand Bomber-Players and bombs get blown around randomly.
-If you're in a corner next to a bomb, you might just get the bomb
out of the way. Also use it when your teammate is trapped to get them
out of there.
Hige Hige Bandits-Everyone on-screen is frozen for a second.
-Place a bomb or wait until they place a bomb and use it to kill them.
It also freezes your teammate, so be careful. If 2 people use it at the
same time, neither will be frozen.
Mighty-Invincible for about 10 seconds.
-See the Walking Bomb technique below. Use it when you're about to die,
or when you want to put a bunch of bombs without worrying about getting hit.
Mujoe-Rushes in a straight line and items from the first person he touches
fly out. The enemy will be stunned so you can collect them, but anyone
else can too. (thanks to HyperBlissey for pointing out that I had the wrong
definition!)
-Use when an opponent has a bunch of items and you don't, or try this: Since
your opponent can't move when you're robbing them, if you have a heart, put a
bomb then rush at them. You'll both be hit but you have a heart so you'll win!
You can also use it to escape a bomb, but use it only if you have to go about
5 spaces or more, or just walking would be better.

| TECHNIQUES |
'-.-'-.-'-.-'
Wall Throw
This is pretty basic. If you have a Punch or Power Glove, you can
throw or punch bombs over a wall. If you get one from Dig'em
Bomber, you can kill 2 of your opponents easy. Don't do this in
a fight with human players,though, or they'll probably get mad!
(Thanks to HyperBlissey for pointing out that I forgot this!)
Stair Bomb
| # # # #
| @ @
| # # # #
| @ @
| # # # #
|@_@______
You need some Fire-Ups and Bomb-Ups. Put bombs, like on the @ marks,
but put as many as you can. They will cover a huge area of blast
that's hard to avoid.
The Walking Bomb
You need a Safety Vest or use Mighty's Killer Shot. Lay a bomb, then
hold A. The explosion will follow you. Just stop holding A before
you become vulnerable again.
Instant Dangerous Bomb
You need a Bomb Up, a Bomb Kick, and the Bouncing Bomb. Kick a bomb
towards a wall. Immediately kick another to the same spot. The first
will bounce off the wall into the second, creating a Dangerous Bomb.
This also works if you kick the bombs over a Bouncing Bomb panel
in See Saw Park.
Snake Technique (thanks to Raven8 for telling me what it's called!)
You need 3 Speed Ups, 3-4 Bomb Ups, and make sure the playing
field is mostly empty. The more Fire Ups the better. Max's Killer
Shot covers all of this except the playing field clear, so use that
if you're Max. Anyway, set a bomb by HOLDING A, not just pressing it,
and keep holding it for the rest of the trick. Right before the bomb
explodes (about 2 1/2 seconds), run. The bomb will explode, hitting
the bomb you set after moving, which hits the next bomb, etc. You'll
never get hit, as long as you keep running and don't do a U-turn.
Make sure you don't go near any other bombs, or you might get hit.
Also, if you're fighting a Hige Hige Bandit, make sure he can't use
his power or you're dead.
The Bomb Trap
1. | 2. | 3. | 4. |
| # # | # # | #X# | # #
| X |OOX |OOO |OOX
| # # | # # | # # | # #
|@____ |@____ |@____ |@_O__
You need 2 Bomb Ups, a Line Bomb, and Bomb Kick. You are the X, and
your opponent is the @ (1). Face left, and lay the line bomb (2). Walk up one
space and then immediately walk down to kick the bomb (3+4). They'll be
trapped and die unless they have a Bomb Kick or a Punch. This obviously works
in other corners if you change the directions.
Item Undo
If you have a Remote Control or Super Power Glove and you accidentally pick up
a weaker item, get hit on the head by a bomb to get your old one back. You can
coax a Revenger to do it, or your teammate if you have one. But if you're on
Zoom Up Stage and you have a Power Glove, throw a bomb over the wall and run
to the other side. It takes a while for it to reach the other side on that
stage, plus it's small, so you can hit yourself. If you're on See Saw Park A,
you can hit yourself. See diagram:
| === === |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
1 2 3 4 5
Stand at 2, and throw a bomb right. It will land on 4. Run to 1 and lay a bomb.
Quickly run back to 2 to launch it. It will land on 3, launching the bomb on 4.
That will hit you, getting rid of the item. It will bounce off your head, and
land on 1, launching you to 5. Before you do it make sure there are no bombs
near 5.
Timer (Posted by Raven8 on the Bomberman Jetters message board!)
(Note: This is a copy-and-paste of his post, except the maps and some spelling
errors/typos that I fixed. I used this back on Bomberman Tournament, but I
forgot about it lately, so I didn't have it up.)
The staple move in any players arsenal was the "Timer", or "Count Bomb", the
idea is to lay a bomb, count to 2, and lay 2 more.... that way the last 2
blow up in under a second. This may sound basic, but it's the elementary
strategy behind ANY good player.
Basic "Timer"
Second 1: (when the bomb is 1st laid)
| # # #
|
| # # #
|
| # # #
|O______
The basic idea is to put it in a spot where it has at least 2 open blast
points....
Second 3: (RIGHT before the bomb blows)
| # # #
|
| # # #
| O
| # # #
|O_O____
Those last 2 will blow in 1 second.
With basic Timer out of the way, I'll show you a few more techs:
The basic idea is to never stop moving in this one, the faster you are,
the further it can blow.
Second 1:
_____________
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
|O____________|
With the 1st part laid, run to another point on the board
Second 2:
_____________
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
|O___________O|
At this point, you have another 2 seconds.... as the bomb goes
3..2..1..BOOM! So, you maximize the combo:
_____________
| |
| # # # # # # |
| O|
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
|O___________O|
This way, you can put the final bomb where ever you like, if you
move bomb 2 around as you see fit.
If you REALLY want to get fancy though:
Final Second:
_____________
| |
| # # # # # # |
| O O|
| # # # # # # |
| O |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
| |
| # # # # # # |
|O___________O|
The last 2 CAN be hard to see coming, and if done right, you will just
barely get out of the way.
Most other attacks are based on the timer, but they can
get VERY advanced.

in your way, and get any power-up. The paths:

=== is a see-saw
@ is a Bouncing Bomb panel
+ is a Power Bomb panel
X is a Dangerous Bomb panel
This is one of my favorite stages. Step on a see-saw and whatever is
on the other side goes flying 5 spaces. Note that bombs and bomb blasts
won't go through a raised see-saw. Notice how on B some of the
see-saws are cleverly lined up so when you put a bomb on the end
closest to the wall and step on the other side, it will go to the
Dangerous Bomb panel. Also, on A, the see-saws are lined up so if you
put a bomb on the side near the wall, it will go to the other see-
saw. Knowing this, you can suprise other players like so...
=== ===
^ ^ ^
A B C
..with A where a bomb is, B where you step, and C your opponent.
They will go to where you are. While they're confused, you can put
bombs next to them.
Changing Weather
(Map is same as standard)
The weather will change every 15-20 seconds or so. When it's raining
your blast power goes down and it takes twice as long for a bomb to
explode. When it's windy the bomb explodes twice as fast and will get
blown around.

Another of my favorite stages. Hit a rocket and it launches. When it

Dangerous Bombs. The one in the middle always starts as a pink one.

X is a light
If you go in a red light, you shrink and your speed goes up 3 levels.
Go in a blue light to go back to normal.
Bouncing Ring
(Map same as standard)
The edges of the level have ropes, and there's no soft blocks.
You start with certain items; see below. A bomb kicked into
the ropes will bounce back, and if you hit the ropes, you will
bounce off really fast. Hit the direction opposite of what
you're going to stop. This is similar to the 'High Power' levels
in other Bomberman games. You can do the 'Instant Dangerous Bomb'
technique listed above, but you have to delay the kicking of the
second bomb by about a second.

',_____,'
The objective is to get all the numbers without getting hit. Once
someone steps on 1, only they can get the rest. If they get hit by a
bomb, they will lose the numbers and someone else can get 1. Speed-
Ups are inportant here. If you step on a number lower than your
current one you will start over at that number. I.E. You're at 8. You
step on 3. You have to start over from 3. It's not very fun with
computer players, but it can be really fun facing 4 human players.

The objective is to get the Balloms to a gate and get more points.
The points per Ballom increase if you can get multiple to the gate at
once. If you have a golden Ballom, all the points will double. But
the more Balloms you have following you, the slower you will go. If
a bomb hits you, you will lose 1/3 of your points and all of the
Balloms following you will go away. If one of your Balloms gets hit,
it will die and all of them behind it will go away. The points per
Ballom in a 'combo' are like this: 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

',_____,'
A bomb blast won't kill you, but it will knock you back some spaces.
See below. You start with blast power 8, 8 bombs, punch, kick, and
Power Glove. There are no soft blocks, and bomb blasts can go through
the hard blocks. If you hold the control stick towards a blast, you
won't get blown around. This is extremely fun, and can get really
crazy, with about 30 bombs on the screen at once!

If you set mini-game to 'on' in the Setup menu for Standard Battle,
you will play this when the battle is finished. The winner chooses
the items buried via a slot machine, then everyone goes around
trying to dig them up by pressing A rapidly. The faster you press
A the faster you'll dig.If the winner finds an item, he will start
with that item in the next battle. If the loser finds an item, it's
thrown into the ocean. The winner will also be colored gold for the
next match.
