Classic Bomberman
Bomberman (PCE)
Yellow Bomberman originally appears in Bomberman for the PC-Engine. He is one of fake Bombermen (偽ボンバーマン, nise bonbāman) who follows Black Bomberman, and is faced as a boss character in the final battle. Though he cannot place bombs, he has two HP, and can periodically enter a flame form, firing off one or two fireballs in random directions. In his flame form, he is invulnerable to attacks, and any bombs he or his fireballs touch are detonated.[1] He wanders randomly, but when White Bomberman lines up with him, he may decide to chase after him, increasing his speed for a time.
In the original release of the game, Yellow's palette is distinct from the other Bombermen, having green limbs and a tan face. In the DOS release, his face and limbs match the other characters. He is the only Bomberman who is not playable in the Battle Game.

If Bomberman touches a mine, it will instantly explode with 1 firepower. Mines can be safely removed with explosions.

As a Selectable Palette
Because most Bomberman games support 5 or less players, the yellow palette is rarely a choice for players. Yellow Bomberman is first playable as one of 15 selectable "brothers"? ボンバーマンブラザーズ in the Battle Game of Super Bomberman 2.[2] The palette is also selectable in Bomberman B-Daman, Atomic Bomberman, Bomberman Battles, Bomberman (DS), Bomberman Live, and Bomberman Live: Battlefest.

Biography
The sixth eldest of the eight Bomberman Bros.The constantly cheerful heart of the group. Yellow is very naive, very innocent...and a little bit odd. He's constantly off in his own world, and no matter what dire predicament the Bomberman Bros. may find themselves in, you can be sure that he'll still be keeping himself happily entertained somehow or another.
~ Super Bomberman R Official Website[5]
The second youngest brother of the 8 Bomberman Bros. One of nature's most pure, innocent creatures, Yellow somehow manages to keep a smile on his lips even in the face of absolute peril. Due to his rose-colored outlook on the world he often has trouble even conversing with those around him, and his older brother Blue seems to be the only one who understands this happy-go-lucky guy.
- Super Bomberman R Online in-game text
Yellow often appears in the background, joyful regardless of the circumstances, even when his siblings express fear or discomfort. He appears to find excitement when encountering very large characters, shouting his catchphrase, "Woah! He's big!" On Planet Timbertree, he approaches Golem Bomber with an offering of flowers and asks if he wants to play. Golem Bomber ignores him, focusing on the perceived threat of White, but after the battle, an unperturbed Yellow leaves a friendship letter with the unconscious foe. In the credits sequence, both of them are seen setting up a birdhouse together.
