'''[[Bomberman]]''': The main protagonist of the games appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. When summoned in battle, Bomberman will run and jump across the stage, laying down bombs. After a few seconds, the bombs detonate in cross-shaped patterns reminiscent of the original ''Bomberman'' games, dealing damage and knockback to the enemies hit and possibly to himself. Enemies can move the bombs around by hitting them, and Bomberman can also be defeated.
