Dangerous Bomb

The Dangerous Bomb is a recurring type of Bomb in the Bomberman series.
==Description==
As the name implies, it is a bomb that explodes in a specific radius. The blast radius has been larger in some games. It's considered dangerous, because it has a large and unusual blast radius compared to most bombs. The effect of this bomb depends on how it's used. Its appearance in Super Bomberman 4 is a black bomb with red "D" emblem (yellow "S" and white "H" for the Super and Hyper versions respectively). In later games, it is a black/red bomb with a skull emblem (the pupils' color varies depending on the games it appeared in).
==Creation==
When two bombs collide with each other via kicking, they form a Dangerous Bomb. The most notable way of creating a Dangerous Bomb is used when a player kicks two Rubber Bombs in the same direction, in which one will bounce back to the opposite direction when hitting the wall, which will collide and form a Dangerous Bomb. Strangely, this can also be done by using conveyor belts. Interestingly, this can also be done with other bombs excluding the Land Mine Bombs.
Alternatively, with the Super Power Glove, charging up a bomb turns it to a Dangerous Bomb.
==Strategy==
The best use of this bomb is that it can clear Soft Blocks around it. However, caution needs to be taken upon the blast it produces. If one is on the 5x5 square, the player will likely be eliminated. The Dangerous Bomb can appear so suddenly that it can catch players off guard. In some games, you can grab an item that allows you to use Dangerous Bombs at will. If a player is surrounded by Soft Blocks, you can use this bomb to block them in for an easy kill. However, one should note that Shields cannot be used to protect against it due to the bizarre blast.
==Bomberman DS: Dangerous Bombs in Revenge Mode==
With the Revenge Mode enabled in Bomberman DS, defeated players can throw Dangerous Bombs onto the map by blowing into the microphone.
==Other types and additional information==
===Super Bomberman 4===
In Super Bomberman 4, asides from the original Dangerous Bomb (with a red D on it), there are two other types of Dangerous Bombs that have to be greatly feared. The Super Dangerous Bomb, which is a Dangerous Bomb with a yellow S on it with a blast radius of 7x7. It is found exclusively in the Slot battle stage, but can also be made when a Dangerous Bomb and a normal Bomb are kicked towards each other. But, the most threatening and powerful Dangerous Bomb in the game is the Hyper Dangerous Bomb, which is a Dangerous Bomb with a white H with a gigantic blast radius (11x11), making it the most dangerous of the three Dangerous Bombs. It is born when a Dangerous Bomb and a normal Bomb are kicked towards each other just like how to make the Super Dangerous Bomb, but then kicking the Super Dangerous Bomb and another Bomb (the type doesn't matter at all, even with other Dangerous and Super Dangerous Bombs) towards each other. Video here.
===Bomberman Portable===
In Bomberman Portable, the Dangerous Bomb's blast radius is a 3x3 square at fire blast 1-3, a 5x5 square (without angles) at fire blast 4-7, and a 5x5 square (with angles) at fire blast 8.
===Bomberman DS===
In Bomberman DS, while two bombs collide with each other or the King Mechabomb transforms, it will be a different colored Dangerous Bomb with a demonic orange skull with twinkling eyes. The Dangerous Bomb used by the player, however, is a normal one. Interestingly, the Dangerous Bomb's blast radius is softened to 3x3 rather than 5x5, most likely to give players a surviving chance. However, like with the Dangerous Bomb in Bomberman Portable, the Dangerous Bomb's blast radius depends on the fire size, starting at a 3x3 square at fire power 1-3, then, a 5x5 square without angles at fire power 4-7, and lastly, a full 5x5 square with angles at fire power 8.
===Bomberman Max 2===
In Bomberman Max 2, Stegodon and Pommy Dragon possess the Dangerous Bomb ability.
===Bomberman Hero===
In Bomberman Hero, the Dangerous Bomb is also featured here, it is called Skull Bomb (ドクロボム), and acts as a trap, not as a power-up like in the other games. It is present in some levels, and it is placed in specific locations. If the player throw a bomb on it, the Dangerous Bomb will explode and produce a consequent blast, damaging the player and destroying Crates if they are in the radius. It takes 1 hit to destroy and yields 100 points.
===Bomberman Party Edition===
In Bomberman Party Edition, there are three types of Dangerous Bombs in the game: Super Bomb, Fury Bomb and Ultra Bomb.
Super Bomb: The first type is the Super Bomb, which looks like a somewhat normal Dangerous Bomb. But however, the Super Bomb is made when two normal bombs collide into one another via kicking. Once done, the Super Bomb remains idle for three seconds before detonating. It's possible to kick a Super Bomb, but due to its weight, it is slow-moving and cannot be punched or thrown. The blast detonates with the Full Fire's blast radius and is several blocks wide, making it a devastating weapon.
Fury Bomb: The second type is the Fury Bomb, which is similar to the Super Bomb in creation and appearance, but the only difference is that the Fury Bomb is made when two Rubber Bombs collide with each other via kicking. The Fury Bomb explodes in all directions--that is to say that it explodes in such a way that it bypasses surrounding pathways around the bomb, regardless of Soft Blocks or Hard Blocks in the area. The circular blast radius is calculated by the average (or depending) fire-power of both bombs used for its creation. If the player's bomb collides with the CPU's bomb, the average (or maximum) of both fire-powers will decide and/or depend on how big the Fury Bomb's blast will be. This bomb is especially useful in clearing out large amounts of Soft Blocks, and it's especially effective in confusing and annihilating opponents.
Ultra Bomb: And lastly, the third and final type is the Ultra Bomb, which is the game's answer for Super Bomberman 4's Hyper Dangerous Bomb, and it is a humorous but extremely dangerous Easter egg/gimmick that is born by the near-but-not-completely impossible fusion of two Super Bombs and/or Fury Bombs. The process of creating the Ultra Bomb is by kicking two bombs into each other to make a Super/Fury Bomb, but repeat this to make the second Super/Fury Bomb. Lastly, kick both Super/Fury Bombs into one another, and the Ultra Bomb is born. Time is of the essence, as it's both critical that both Super/Fury Bombs must not go off and that the player and the CPUs/partners are well far away from the Ultra Bomb before it explodes.
The Ultra Bomb is easily identified by its red color. It is strongly advised to use the aid of two or three other characters (though it's possible to also try using the aid of the fourth and fifth players) to ensure the Ultra Bomb's birth. Once it's created, it's certainly and strongly recommended that there are no Soft Blocks anywhere on the map, so that the player and everyone else can flee from the Ultra Bomb's ludicrously giant explosion radius. The Ultra Bomb explodes at Full Fire, not only destroying multiple alleyways and any Soft Blocks and items in its way and path, but also explodes outwards in a semi-circular blast radius. Hiding behind Hard Blocks will absolutely not save the player and the CPUs' characters, as the flames will find them regardless of what is in its path. It's strongly just best to not be anywhere near the Ultra Bomb before it explodes. Please note that the Ultra Bomb cannot be moved by any means due to its massive weight (which strongly rivals the weights of both the Super Bomb and Fury Bomb, making the Ultra Bomb the heaviest Dangerous Bomb), and once it rests in its point of creation, it's there to stay until it violently erupts. And lastly, not only is it easily identified by its red color, but the Ultra Bomb is also easily distinguished by its humorously giant size and its titanic blast radius.
