    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.

    Karabon battles are pre-determined at the beginning of a match due to the Karabons stats and pre-set attacks.

    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.

    Powering Up

    While walking around in the world, Bomberman can bomb the various bushes. Inside some of these bushes are panels. These panels are represented by:

    • Sword - Swords are used to upgrade a Karabons attack.
    • Shield - Shields are used to upgrade a Karabons defense.
    • Star - Stars are used to upgrade a Karabons special attack.
