The Fission Bomb is a type of special bomb that exists only in Bomberman World (Arcade).
Description
Its icon is an angry curved fireball. The Bomb appearance is a spherical technological bomb with a square ring composed of several small squares for the middle with red LED lights that blink in a pattern. Bomberman will get 5 Fission Bombs when he collected the item, in which it temporarily replaces his normal Bombs, although he can collect a maximum of 20 depending on the level. As its name suggests, depending on the size of its blast range, it will explode and then split the fire upon hitting the corners of the tiles. Where it will split depends on the direction, if the flames went from above and hit the indestructible tile which goes into two directions, it will go to left and right, if the corner only goes left, it will split to the left, and the same is with every other corner.
Usage & Strategy
This bomb is similar to the Dangerous Bomb in that it can be used to destroy Soft Blocks, enemies and unwary players, but the player has to be careful not to get destroyed by his or her own Fission Bombs, and its effects vary depending on how the player uses it. Try not to place a Fission Bomb too close to each other, as it can create an unpredictable chain reaction unless you absolutely know where the flames will split upon hitting corners of indestructible tiles.
