Bomberman Max: Blue Champion

Review
Also known as
Bomberman Max: Hikari no Yūsha ボンバーマンマックス ~光の勇者~

Blast through maze levels, collect Charabombs, and link with the Red version to complete the adventure.

Bomberman Max: Blue Champion was released for Game Boy Color in Japan on December 17, 1999 and in North America on May 14, 2000; the earliest worldwide commercial release of this exact GBC version is 1999, but the legacy year 1999 refers to the Japanese release. However, since the platform is game-boy-color and the game is a GBC title, the earliest release is 1999 in Japan. The original release year is also 1999 for this game's first version. Given the legacy year 1999 matches the Japanese GBC release, release_year should be 1999, not 2000. Correction: The game was released in Japan on December 17, 1999 for Game Boy Color. Therefore release_year=1999, original_release_year=1999.

About Bomberman Max: Blue Champion

Bomberman Max: Blue Champion is a Game Boy Color title that continues the series' core mechanics of placing bombs to clear obstacles and defeat enemies, with the objective of reaching an exit. The presentation retains the visual and audio style established in earlier entries.

This release is one half of a paired set, with Bomberman Max: Red Challenger Edition containing the other portion. Each cartridge features exclusive stages, and a link cable connection is required to transfer data between them. This process is necessary to access all content and finish the complete adventure.

A secondary system involves collecting Charabombs, creatures that can be trained. These creatures engage in battles against others in a simplified contest based on Rock/Paper/Scissors rules.
