Karabons
In Bomberman Tournament there are small creatures called Karabons that can be collected and battled with, similar to Pokemon. Karabons are a major part of the quest mode.

Some Karabons can be fused into a single Karabon that has 2 attributes.
There are 25 Karabons to collect.
Elements
There are four possible elements that a Karabon can possess:
- Fire, AKA Dragon
- Water, AKA Fish
- Electric, AKA Pommy
- Earth, AKA Beast
These elements are strong or weak to another element. Water beats fire, fire beats earth, earth beats electricity, and electricity beats water.
Attributes
Each type of Karabon has an attribute which can help it in battle. For example Electric, or Pommy can use teleport to a town that has been previously visited.

- Sword - Swords are used to upgrade a Karabons attack.
- Shield - Shields are used to upgrade a Karabons defense.
