Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! Play Online 🪙 Nintendo 64

Summary

The universe of Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! revolves around eight legendary elements, each guarded by a Celestial Stone. When the power‑hungry Rukifellth snatches one of these stones, he marshals the BHB Army and a massive space warship, using gravity generators to turn planets into black holes—until his sights fall on Bomber Planet.

Gameplay builds on the original’s 3‑D bomb‑throwing but swaps the circular blast for the classic cross "plus" shape. Players can fuse element crystals with bombs for elemental explosions, purchase upgrades in a space shop, and discover hidden armor that grants bomb‑kicking, throwing, and remote‑detonation without extra items. A quirky sidekick, Pommy, can be raised with food or handed to a second player, adding a cooperative twist.

Critics were split: GameSpot and IGN gave it middling scores, citing dated graphics and average sound, while Nintendo Power was more generous. The single‑player adventure earned praise for its variety of bomb types and hidden collectibles, though reviewers noted the puzzles were short and the overall length modest. Allgame highlighted Pommy’s evolution mechanic as a charming bonus that rounds out the experience.

Storyline

Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! opens with Bomberman discovering a mysterious egg on a hot‑spring planet after his victory over Altair and Sirius. While traveling through space, his ship is pulled into a black hole and he awakens in a jail, where the egg hatches into a Charabom named Pommy, who helps him escape. Bomberman learns that the evil Rukifellth and the Astral Knights are gathering elemental crystals; the fire crystal is already in his possession, and Regulus, a former foe, is one of the Knights who still resists.

Together with Pommy and a recurring ally named Lilith, Bomberman battles the Knights and eventually reaches the Warship Noah, the source of the black hole and the BHB army’s headquarters. Inside he confronts Lilith possessed by the goddess Mihaele, Rukifellth possessed by the demon Sthertoth, and finally Sthertoth himself. Defeating all bosses unlocks the true final battle, leading to a good ending where the Angel of Light and Shadow is vanquished and the elemental Knights are restored.

The story explains the universe’s origin: an angel split into light and dark halves, the light created seven elemental stones and warriors, and the dark side was sealed. Rukifellth’s discovery of the sealing stone awakens the dark entity, which seeks to reclaim its form by gathering the stones, setting the stage for Bomberman's quest.
