Hey hey bomberpals! I'm back with more GIFs and random stuff for you to enjoy. This time I played through Bakufuu Sentai Bomberman for the PSP. Now what is this strange game you may ask? Well, it's basically Power Rangers/Super Sentai meets Bomberman.

How and why this exists is beyond me but it's strangely interesting. Here's what to expect. You begin an intro level where you play as Red Sentai (I have no idea what else to call them) and it plays a lot like Bomberman. You defeat the enemies and reach the exit. In this stage however, you only need to reach the exit.

Now before I move on I should finish explaining. In these stages, there are a lot of new hazards. In the GIF above there are numbered panels. Stepping on them will automatically set your speed to that number, anywhere from 1 to 5. So you can go from full speed to low speed instantly, pretty tricky! There are more stages with weird gimmicks as well.

Also worth noting are the enemies. They look exactly like those silly monsters from Super Sentai. Pretty hilarious. Anywho, after the intro stage comes an intro boss! This guy is unbeatable and I'll show him off a little later when I cover the rest of the bosses. After your inevitable loss, there's this weird sequence where all 5 Sentais transform back into 2.5D Bombermen.

Weird how Red Sentai loses but they all get punished for it. I don't get it. So from here you must play through 5 classic stages for each of the Sentais, resulting in 25 stages to play. They play just like classic bomberman: kill the enemies, find the exit. The only real difference is the graphics which are 2.5D and decently interesting.

The areas are the same each time so it's a bit of a grind to do this much. As soon as the 5 stages are clear for one Sentai, you get this transformation sequence where they become normal again in all of their weird glory! Just look at some of these scenes.

Scenes like these are where their personality starts to shine. They really are a weird bunch!

So from here you must go through 9 missions as the Sentais which are the same each time. This adds another 45 stages to our game and really increases the total here! As soon as you catch all the Sentais up to this point, the boss level opens for each of them. When you play as Red, you finally get a rematch with the big knight from the intro. Here's panoramics from the game of all the bosses.

What is it with Yellow?! First his transformation is weird and shows off his butt, but now he's fighting a giant frog sucking a pacifier?! Why?! :xeyes:  Seriously, I get this game is meant to induce some comedy but this is truly weird. Green's isn't any better. At least the other colors had Sentai/Monster things but nothing that weird. That was definitely a shock to see the first time.

Anywho, defeat all 5 of them and you get a fancy ending.

And that's really all there is to say. It has a boss rush/challenge mode thing but it's basically playing through all the stages for a high score. Overall it's pretty mediocre. It's interesting for the novelty of the 2.5D classic stages and the unusual Sentai ones but it's not a memorable title at all. It does include a demo of some other game that isn't Bomberman but I'm not sure what it's called.

To finish off, here's some GIFs that show the stats of the Sentais.
