4''Bomberman Land'' is the ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' franchise's personal series of [[MiniGameGame minigame-centric]] {{Party Game}}s. The first three games were only released in Japan, then the series began being released internationally with ''Bomberman Land Touch!''.
5
6The story for each game is the same at its core: Shiro Bom / Cheerful White and his friends all travel to a theme park and take part in its attractions. Unlike games such as ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' which use a ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}''-styled board game layout, the theme park is an explorable overworld, and the player must complete the park's various minigames in order to unlock more of the park to explore.

24!!This game series provides examples of:
25* AmbiguouslyGay: Racer Bomber, considering he never notices Pretty Bomber's crush in 3 and is protective of White to the point of insisting he gives up on saving Pretty in the Adventure mode of 2.
26* BigBrotherInstinct: Racer Bomber is really protective of White in the ''Land 2'' Main Game.
27* CheerfulChild: [[MeaningfulName Cheerful White.]]
28* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Aka Bom and Racer Bomber vanished after the third game.
29* DamselInDistress: Pretty Bomber is kidnapped pretty often. Aqua as well in ''Touch! 2''.
30* DubNameChange: Each protagonist was renamed when the series started being brought over from Japan. This can be confusing as Pretty Bomber is an established character, but she was called Cute Pink.
31** In ''Bomberman Hardball'', Shiro Bom became Ivory Bomber, Kuro Bom became Star Bomber, Midori Bom became Jade Bomber, Ao Bom became Blue Bomber ([[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not]] [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic that one]]), and Pretty Bomber and Gold Bomber were left intact.
