Terrain Manipulator Battle Royale

The Terrain Manipulator Battle Royale is a Battle Royale Death Battle by Withersoul 235. It pits Steve from Minecraft against Bomberman and Dig Dug from their eponymous series.

Steve
(Cues: Moog City 2, Minecraft)

'''Boomstick: Ahhh... Minecraft.'''

Wiz: It's pretty uncommon for a survival game to have a named and consistent main character.

Boomstick: Steve is an expert miner, brewer, hammersmith and survivalist with massive combat experience.

Wiz: He has a giant arsenal of weapons up his sleeve. The most common is the sword and the occasional axe. For ranged combat, Steve makes frequent use of a bow and arrow. In addition, he can also use various kinds, types and flavours of potions.

Boomstick: Steve's pickaxe is mostly for mining, but can also be used as an emergency weapon and to set up traps or even drop gravel, sand and anvils on his enemies.

Wiz: Speaking about traps, Steve has a genius intellect, capable of making expert redstone machines, offensive, defensive and for entertainment. The most common are dispensers, which can be set to fire arrows, potions, fire charges, potions, eggs and snowballs. Other popular choices are piston traps and TNT cannons.

'''Boomstick: Even his blocks and fluids can be placed offensively. Take lava and catci for example. Water can also be usee to slow down his opponents or direct them into traps. He even has TNT that he can set off with Flint and Steel. He can also use the Flint and Steel to set his enemies on fire. '''

Wiz: Steve can also use his potions to boost his own stat boosts. He can drops anvils on his enemies and do a lot more. But we haven't even talked about his companions yet...

'''Boomstick: Steve can tame cats to scare his enemies away. But a better pet is... the dog. It will attack all it sees and is commanded to attack, except Creepers. He can also summon the golems. The Snow Golem pelts his adversaries with snowballs, while the badass Iron Golem dunks them into the air !'''

Wiz: With the Spawn Eggs, Steve can summon various mobs to help him. Skeletons, Ghasts, Blazes and Cave Spiders are all excellent choices. He also has animal companions; he can ride horses and pigs, use donkies and mules to store chests and summon cows and Mooshrooms to get milk to stop status effects, or mushroom stew to heal himself.

'''Boomstick: And then, there's the Wither. The Wither is almost impossible to defeat without the right equipment, tanks a lot of hits, heals himself, shoots explosive skulls and freakin' blasts through obsidian and almost all blocks in the game !'''

Wiz: Lasstly, let's talk about Steve's other tools. The shears allows for nasty pains, the cobweb slows enemies, the shovel can break sand, dirt, grass and the stuffs in an instant and the fishing rod allows him to keep enemies on distance, pull them to him or even use it as a grappling hook.

Boomstick: The Elytra allows for flight, while the Shulker Shells allow for near infinite storage, since you can put Shulker Shells in Shulker Shells in an indefinite cycle and carry them in your Iventory without losing your drops !

Wiz: But Steve's most dangerous weapon is the Command Block. It allows him to summon practically anything, place and remove things, alter space and time and even literally kill organisms without even touching them !

'''Boomstick: And for the last, Steve's fireworks allows for slight damage, distraction and pushing enemies upwards and Ender Pearls allow for teleportation. The Crafting Tables allow him to make almost anything ! And if used outside of the Overworld, his beds will actually explode !'''

Wiz: Steve's really potent and versatile. But will it allow him the win ?

'''Boomstick: We'll see... right after the advertensiment. ...Just kidding !'''

(Steve takes fall damage and makes his old hurt sound)

Bomberman
(Cues: Bomberman 64 Main Menu theme)

'''Boomstick: Ah, Bomberman... the classic PC classic...'''

Wiz: Yeah, that guy. His games were originally called Dyna Blaster in Europe.

'''Boomstick: Bomberman is one of gaming's most popular characters. He mainly attacks with bombs. Duh.'''

Wiz: Bomberman has many power-ups that aid him in combat. Such as:

Power-Ups

 * Can use skates to move faster
 * Can punch and kick his bombs
 * Line Bomb destroys all bombs in a line
 * Full Fire highly expands blast range
 * Power Glove can grab and expand the size of bombs
 * Marble Bombs
 * Red Bomb: strongly expands bomb radius
 * Vest allows for invincibility
 * Salt Bombs

'''Boomstick: Bomberman usually blasts his way through labyrinths with those bombs. He has a lot of them.'''

Wiz: A bad point is that his own bombs can ironically kill him. However, there are power-ups that make him immune to his own bombs.

'''Boomstick: Bomberman has also used remotes at times. Press the big, red, obvious button and KA-BOOM !'''

Wiz: Bomberman also has power-ups that allows him to pass straight through walls and his own bombs.

Feats

 * Has escaped an underground empire
 * Has saved Planet Bomber countless times
 * Tamed countless Rooeys

Bomberman: I did it !

Dig Dug
Wiz: Hey, Boomstick ! Are you ready for the most cruel killer of all time ?

'''Boomstick: ... Is it one of history's most tirannic dictators ?'''

Wiz: Ehm, no, it's Dig Dug.

'''Boomstick: ... Hahaha, that's a good one, Wizard ! Really, i wet my pants.'''

Wiz: Actually i was being serious.

Boomstick: ...

Wiz: Dig Dug uses a pump-like weapon connected to a harpoon to inflate his enemies until they explode.

'''Boomstick: Wow. That's sadistic.'''

Wiz: Dig Dug speeds through the terrain with a jackhammer-spade like thing.

'''Boomstick: He also usually travels underground, fighting Pookas, dragons... Man, that guy ain't afraid of no monster !'''

Wiz: Dig Dug is the master of the underground. He can dig like everywhere. He's the father of Mr. Driller and has starred in countless games.

'''Boomstick: His popularity eventually led to an appearance in Wreck-It-Ralph. When you think of arcade classics, some oldschool 80's gamers will instantly think of Dig Dug.'''

Wiz: Dig Dug has had a pretty big game series. Even though his appearances are decreasing and his sole representation in Smash is the presence of the Pookas, Dig Dug will always retain his place in the heart of many gamers.

Pre-fight
Wiz: All right, the combatants are set. It's time to end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !

Death Battle
NOTE: Steve exclusively talks in the chat or by using signs.

In the world of Minecraft, Steve is busy feeding his cows. All of a sudden however, a block is broken in a field close to his house.

Steve: ... ?

And then, Dig Dug rises up from the hole. An explosion happens a little farther, and there stands Bomberman.

Steve: Ehhm... excuse me, but who are you and what are you guys doing on my farm ?

Dig Dug and Bomberman do not respond and look at his gold storage a little closer to his house.

Steve: Oh, the gold. I have gold, but it's not really important.

As soon as the sentence has appeared in the chat, they both run to the gold. The bomber and the digger fight over the gold as Steve interferes.

Steve: HEY ! Simply because i said it's not important doesn't mean you can have it !

That said, Dig Dug and Bomberman take their fighting poses and the battle starts.

Dig Dug fires his harpoon at Steve, but he blocks it with his sword. Bomberman throws a bomb, but Dig Dug digs underground, as does Steve. Bomberman tries to steal the gold, but Steve breaks the block under his feet, sending him down as well.

Dig Dug lands first and starts digging horizontally as Steve falls down and tries to shoot Bomberman with a bow. Bomberman throws a bomb, which hits the arrow, creating an explosion. Dig Dug fires his harpoon and inflates Bomberman. Steve jumps at Dig Dug and attacks him with a Diamond Sword. Dig Dug avoids all of the swings and digs upwards. Steve mines further while Bomberman constantly has his bombs deflected at him.

Ultimately, the three meet up in a stronghold, where they are attacked by Skeletons. Dig Dug inflates their bows while Bomberman throws a bomb. Steve is flung into the End Portal but uses a fishing rod to pull Bomberman in as well. The bomber's last bomb flings Dig Dug into the portal, too.

In the End, Steve fights off Bomberman and Dig Dug before slowing Dig Dug down with a Splash Potion of Slowness. Bomberman creates a crater with another bomb and receive an Expander. He starts to kick his bombs at Steve, who barely manages to avoid the plus shaped explosions. Bomberman gains the Red Bomb and throws one of them. Dig Dug inflates it with the pump, making it bigger and bigger until the explosion is so big, it creates a massive crater that the three fighters fall in. Steve mines a few blocks to stand on but Bomberman grabs him to stop his fall as well. Dig Dug falls into the Void but uses his harpoon as a grappling hook.

Steve starts summoning Blazes with spawn eggs, which start destroying more blocks with their fireballs. Bomberman throws a red bomb, but one of the Blazes' projectiles set it ablaze, causing the inside of the End to be burnt as well. Bomberman falls into a pit as Steve puts down a piston and pushes TNT at Dig Dug, who deflects it with the harpoon. However, Steve runs at Dig Dug and cuts through his harpoon with Scissors. Ultimately, the explosion of the aformentioned TNT reveals another crater that Bomberman emerges from, riding a Rooey. Bomberman hits Steve a few times before he retaliates with a shovel swing.

Steve starts attacking with splash potions, one of which hits Dig Dug, who tries to dig his way out. Ultimately, Dig Dug digs away the ground below a boulder, which falls on Bomberman's Rooey, crushing it. Steve quickly mines the boulder, but Bomberman throws a couple of Marble Bombs, creating yet another creater. Dig Dug falls into the crater, on his side. Steve jumps into the air and places a cobweb on a wall. Dig Dug looks in shock as Steve pulls out a Golden Sword. Dig Dug looked in shock. Everyone was gonna laugh at him so hard when he got killed with a Gol-

TSJAK.

Bomberman arrived on the scene to see Dig Dug impaled with a Golden Sword. Steve smirked. He knew it was a good idea to drop his sword while Dig Dug wasn't paying attention. Steve used his scissors again to cut through the cobwebs. Bomberman runs up to Steve with a bomb, but the miner quickly spawns a handful spiders and a slime. Steve throws a Lingering Potion of Poison, but Bomberman blows up a wall and walks around the lingering effect in a bow. Two spiders attack Bomberman, but he punches them away and throws a Red Bomb at the mobs, blowing them up. Steve runs off and digs a staircase to the surface.

At the surface, Steve makes a few Snow Golems, spawns a wolf and tames it, before commanding the dog and the golems to attack his adversary. Bomberman is hit by a few snowballs and sees the dog charging at him. With a powerful kick, Bomberman sends the dog flying into a pillar, after which the dog falls to the floor and dies from the combined impact.

The bomber throws a Line Bomb at the Snow Golems, evaporating them both. Bomberman looks around to see Steve atop the pillar, with the Elytra equipped. Steve dives at Bomberman, but the bomber avoids it. Steve flies up and summons a couple Shulkers, a Stray and a Ghast. The Stray slows Bomberman down while the Shulker make him fly into the air with their homing missiles. The Ghast shoots a Fire Charge, launching Bomberman backwards.

Behind Bomberman, on the pillar, is a dispenser, which gets activated by a sheep on a pressure plate. The dispenser shoots a couple of tipped arrows of blindness, blinding Bombermand and launching him straight into Steve's arms. Steve then flies with Bomberman and throws him away. However, Bomberman lands on an obsidian platform. Steve flies to the platform, but Bomberman regains his sight, blows up Steve's Elytra and launches him back to the main island.

Steve starts building to the platform with cobblestone and crafts a fishing rod with a crafting table. With that, he grabs Bomberman and pulls him onto the incomplete bridge. Bomberman throws a Gravity Bomb, though, but Steve manages to escape by placing a few sandstone blocks, which blocks the suction.

Bomberman then throws a Navarm Bomb, which spreads lava over the platform. However, Steve counters with water, creating even more obsidian and cobblestone platforms. Bomberman sets a Thunder Bomb, but Steve counters the lightning with his Shield.

In a desperate attempt to emerge victorious, Bomberman slows Steve down with a Skull Bomb, then charges up a Red Bomb. Steve, however, is used to such situations and drinks milk, regaining his normal speed. Steve jumps at Bomberman, but he walks out of the way. Steve grabs an Iron Sword and throws it a Bomberman, but he jumps over it. Steve then uses a Diamond Sword again and swings it several times, but Bomberman jumps over every swing.

Bombermah then throws a Rubber Bomb, but it bounces over Steve. In a final attempt to win, Bomberman charges up a Red Bomb. And then...

...Bomberman heard a weird sound. He looked around and saw the End... rising into the air ?

This was weird. Bomberman dropped his Red Bomb, which exploded and sent Bomberman flying a little to the right. And then he saw what appeared to be a Gold Pickaxe in Steve's hand.

Then it finally reached him. That sound...

...was the sound of a block getting broken. Bomberman screams as he falls down into the Void, never to be seen again.



Reliefed, Steve sighed. After a long fight, his dogged opponents have finally been defeated. Time to go home. His cows and cats will be happy to see him again.

Results
Boomstick: Now, that's what deserves the name of a long, persistent Death Battle !

Wiz: Time to explain why Steve is our winner. Although Bomberman had more different kinds of explosives and Dig Dug had the most control over the terrain, Steve has the largest arsenal, plus the option to place blocks as well, while his adversaries could only destroy them.

'''Boomstick: Plus, Steve is much more powerful. He can carry items that weigh literal tons at high numbers. Also, Steve has the advantage of being able to heal himself, and being capable of pseudo-flight with the Elytra. Dig Dug has only two tools applied to him; compare that to his opponents' arsenals ! He can also go down in just a few hits, so... yeah.'''

Wiz: Steve can also summon various "allies" to help him in combat. Steve can even stop all status effects applied to him with milk. Plus, Steve has more expierence than the two others, surviving nearly years in the wilderness. His genius intellect allowed him to create complex machines to stop his opponents in their tracks. Lastly, Steve is more durable; without armor, he can survive a lava bath for around 8 seconds without getting his skin burnt. The average temperature of lava is 1200 °C, which equals to 1292 °F. He can even survive multiple explosions at point blank range. What does Bomberman primarily attack his enemies with ? Explosions. And what is he actually extremely vulnerable to ? That's right: Explosions.

'''Boomstick: You know what Steve's gonna say to his enemies if he saw them again ? "Ha, your chances of survival are mine !"'''

Wiz: The winner is Steve.
