Notes[]
- Most of the American voice and dubbing actors return to their roles original roles (Like the voice and dubbing actors of Halo and Metal Gear Solid franchises).
- The Bombers characters of Portal franchise and Xavier Woods were voiced in the Japanese and American versions by the same American voice actors (This also happens with the Japanese voices of the Balloms).
- Some of the Japanese dubbing actors who did the voices of main Bomber characters voices, voiced also some major and minor characters like Jeff Manning who voiced Red Bomber, also did of the Narrator and Sachiko Hara who voiced Green Bomber did also the voice of the Worker Kid.
- Like the secondary characters, this also happens with the Other Bombers (Japanese dubbing actors), like Blake Crawford and Jack Merluzzi, who voiced altogether more than a half of the Other Bombers Japanese dubbing actors.
- All of the Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls Bomber characters English dubbing staff, voiced the same characters of the game being of the few times that they select and used the same dubbing actors as a cameo characters, before the other game was even made and released (This also happen in Super Bomberman R Online).
- Sometimes, it's easy to confuse some characters with similar voice tones and characterization, like Vic Viper Zero Bomber and Pyramid Head Bomber, which the two of them are voice by Jack Merluzzi instead of Blake Crawford.
- Jack Merluzzi and Diana Garnet have the highest number of voices on the dubbing actors and actresses (Respectively).
