Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! is an action video game, the sequel to Bomberman 64 released in 1997. The game was not released in Europe. Due to a combination of releasing late in the Nintendo 64's life cycle, minimal advertising, and mediocre reviews, the game is considered one of the rarest titles for the console. Gameplay In many aspects, the game plays identically to Bomberman 64, with features such as the ability to make bombs bigger. As opposed to the circular explosions of the first Nintendo 64 title, the explosions in The Second Attack are the traditional cross "+" shape.

Bomberman learns there are some elemental crystals being collected by the evil Rukifellth, and the Astral Knights, that hold the current crystals. They are missing the fire crystal which Bomberman has. It's up to Bomberman and Pommy to stop the new evil and retrieve the crystals. Along the way, he meets Lilith, a girl apparently working toward the same goal he is. He subsequently encounters her several more times throughout the game. Little does Bomberman know that one of the knights is none other than Regulus (now under the name Bulzeeb), who still
