It'd be interesting to see how varied the names of enemies is in these SFC Strategy Guide books for Super Bomberman 1-5 differ if any from the instruction manuals. Btw, what manuals do we still need scans of any manuals that you recalled seeing in my group shots, shot 1 or shot 2? I got reminded about these scans on IM, after sort of falling off the bomber jet into space. I don't recall what all was scanned by whom but you seem to have collected or scanned yourself an impressive array of the titles.

Thanks. The scans linked to of the guide look pretty sweet. :D

Second Edit. Looking over your directories, it looks like you have Saturn covered pretty well. Tho, do you need the following? SFC panic bomber world or SFC super bomberman 3

First Edit: Ragey, dropping the data I mentioned providing on the TG16 manual here so everyone can make use of it. Just transcribed the enemy page until I get to the scanner.

p.7 of the US release TG-16 Bomberman manual. I will try to scan this Sunday at work. Only 12 pages if you count every scannable page so it should be a cinch. Not in color on the inside and very little actual character data in it.

"Enemy Characters & The Big Bosses
Enemy Characters
Each of the following enemy characters are constantly after
you. Some are easily defeated, and some are truly
formidable. The boss characters that appear at the end of
each round are especially tough. This is where your mastery
of fighting techniques will really pay off!

Barom
Appears in Stages 1 and 8. Worth 100
points if destroyed.

Shashakin
Appears in Stage 5. Worth 400 points
if destroyed.

Nagacham
Appears in Stage 6. Worth 100 points
if destroyed.

Ojin
Appears in Stage 7. Worth 400 points
if destroyed.

Pontan
Appears during "Time Outs." Worth
200 points if destroyed.

Boyon
Appears in all stages. Worth 1,000
points if destroyed.

Telpio
Appears in all stages. Worth 1,000
points if destroyed.

Parce
Appears in all stages. Worth 2,000
points if destroyed.

Meet the "Big" Bosses!

Arion
The terror of the first stage that must be destroyed!
Worth 20,000 points if you succeed!

Bubbles
Must be hit at least three times to be destroyed.
However, until you defeat Bubbles, it will continue to
produce "baby" Bubbles that must also be destroyed. If
you succeed in destroying Bubbles, you get 20,000
points, and if you destroy a "baby" Bubbles, you get 100
points."

Using the following image provided earlier by Razon as a reference, and looking at this page before I can provide the scan, the following character matchups are guesses, ironed out better once you see what I am talking about. The TG16 manual versions are
all simple black and white artwork as well, but have some depth to some of
them and make some matches a challenge.

Edit Added the 2 other enemies from PS1 Bomberman Party Edition.

Edit: Added the scan of TG16 enemies mentioned.

Barom is of course Valcom.
Shashakin is ?.
Nagacham is ?.
Ojin is maybe O'Neal, but they don't look much alike.
Pontan looks nothing like Foton/Pontan.
Boyon is Minbow/Minvo.
Telpio looks most like Flotsam/Ovape.
Parce is Tiglon/Pass.
