FAQ

What does a Power Bomb do?

The Power Bomb is a great weapon acquired fairly late in the game. Dropping one in Morph Ball mode will result in a vast explosion that will immediately kill any enemy within its radius. It's extremely powerful and this is why the ammo is so low.

It's also useful in destroying any wall or structure in the game that's made of Bendezium.

How do you use the Power Bomb?

Roll up into Morph Ball mode by tapping 'Y'. Then, simply tap 'R' to drop a Power Bomb.

How many Power Bombs does each expansion give you?

You get 2 additional Power Bombs per expansion. You should own 10 in total by the end of the game.
