"The Dark Lord Bomberman who presides over Planet Castlevania from his sinister living castle. An immortal vampire leading an army of darkness, the mere mention of his name strikes fear in the hearts of people everywhere. Even when defeated, he is never completely destroyed, and always rises once more, together with his castle. He and the Belmont Clan are eternal nemeses, locked in an ongoing battle through the ages."
— Super Bomberman R official website description
Overview[]
Dracula Bomber's unique Dark Curse ability enables him to set up to four invisible magic circles that deflect bombs placed on top of them and can be used to propel his own bombs forward. Once Dracula Bomber is defeated, all the circles placed by him are erased from the arena. Placing more than four circles causes the oldest ones to disappear.
Dracula Bomber is featured prominently on the Grand Prix mode preface cutscene as an evil bomberman leading other villains into an invasion of the Bomberman brothers' house. His attack is thwarted when Simon Belmont Bomber arrives with Vic Viper Bomber and Jehuty Bomber, and grants White Bomberman with a memory cartridge containing his Vampire Killer ability, enabling him to banish Dracula Bomber and his allies.
The magic circle used by Dracula Bomber bears a stylized design from the one seen on the circle used by Dracula in Castlevania Judgment.
The soundtrack played during Dracula Bomber's introduction in the Grand Prix mode is an arrange of Black Night called "Black Night - R Arrange -" by Seima Iwahashi.[2]
In the original Japanese version, his wound from when White Bomber whipped his right hand had stayed. In the American and worldwide version, his wound faded.
