In his flame form, he is invulnerable to attacks, and any bombs he or his fireballs touch are detonated.[3] He wanders randomly, but when White Bomberman lines up with him, he may decide to chase after him, increasing his speed for a time.
He also appears as a playable character for the first time.

Biography
The fifth eldest of the eight Bomberman Bros.Red's a hot-blooded, hot-headed, hero-wannabe. He looks up to White--in his own way--and like his elder brother believes strongly in the pursuit of justice. The problem is, his first instinct is always to solve every situation with a big bomb blast...
~ Super Bomberman R Official Website[8]
The third youngest brother of the 8 Bomberman Bros. This guy is a real hothead, always bombin' first and askin' questions later. This hot-blooded Bomberman has a deep respect for his older brother, White, and always fights for truth and justice. The only problem is that Red's version of truth and justice may differ a teeny, tiny bit from that of his big bro. The major difference being that Red usually feels the best answer to any moral quandry is a healthy dose of explosives. Simply unable to sit still, he'll blow himself up if he rushes headlong into an enemy, so watch out!
- Super Bomberman R Online in-game text
Red is the only member of the Bomberman Brothers who is already training in the beginning of the game, and who actively wants to join White in his mission to stop Buggler. On Planet Technopolis, he charges recklessly ahead, blowing through the enemy's mazes and traps and making his own entrance through a wall. He angers Magnet Bomber by calling him "little", goading him into a battle. Magnet Bomber refuses to back down, even after his defeat, and Red remains willing to fight. However, when Magnet Bomber punches an intervening Aqua, Red becomes frightened of her potential rage, asking Magnet Bomber to apologize. She punches both him and his foe high into the air.
On Planet Scrapheap, he is prepared to engage in a "boss fight" with Plasma Bomber before the first stage even begins. Later, when Buggler introduces himself, Red similarly issues him a pre-emptive challenge.
In the credits sequence, Red is seen getting worked up while playing a video game with Magnet Bomber.
After the sibling stop the Ballom riot and retrieve their pet, Ballom-chan, Red quarrels with Black over which of them has ownership over the creature.
When Dracula Bomber invades the Bomberman Brothers' home, Red does not hesitate to attack him with a bomb. The bomb has no effect, though, and he is quickly taken out by Anubis Bomber. After seeing White use the Vampire Killer against Dracula Bomber, he fights with his siblings to get a chance to try it out too.
