EDIT: Indy Bomber is a different character, as I had thought (by his appearing in a separate entry). Here's the bio:
The new hero in GB2, Indy. He sets out on a long journey, searching for the secret jewel that makes all wishes come true. However, various enemy characters hinder him, and progressing forward will be difficult

[I'm really not sure what this says, exactly. It seems to say something about using items and how that will usually be of help to defeat him.]
First, you may be wondering about the whole "fighting game" or "beat-em-up game" thing. All the Panic Bomber World characters have one of those little things about them when they appear in the game (the lower text box, name is on top and "fact" is on bottom). Anyway, nothing about his origins here.
Here's Bagura's "fact" from the in-game text, though:
In the future, 2 robots possessing the ability to think, Black Bomberman
was created through the effort of Doctor Mimori. However, through
a program mistake of the doctor Black Bomberman began walking a path of evil,
finally the doctor's only daughter, Lisa, was kidnapped and locked within the
machine castle.
*I'm not sure why the first sentence is structured like that. Did Mimori just make Black Bomberman? Why isn't Shiro mentioned?
I figured that the enemies page would only mention those... Ah well. What fish?
Here's the Panic Bomber enemies:
バロム - Ballom
クリン - Kurin... wtf, he's an octopus now?! Oh well... It appears that the name "Kurin" replaced "Terupyo"...
ブロル - Buroru... Once again, seems like the name got changed, this time from "Maron" to "Buroru"...
パース - Pass
I know I translated the other enemies' names out of the game, but I put it in a seperate text file and, for the life of me, I can't find it.
Also, what the hey? Where'd this map come from? I guess it wasn't in the arcade version... But I'll get to the story for this one later.
EDIT: Yeah you should get it, Reggie, I think it's an interesting twist on Bomberman. Keeps the original theme, but plays differently.
A member of the Five Fiendish Bombers who were once created by Professor Bagura. His head is a little bad, and his behavior is slow. He has the heart of a gentle strongman.
So it was that Golem Bomber of the Five Fiendish Bombers, after being defeated by Bomberman, wanders around in the forest and accidentally becomes paralyzed. In the forest Mami happened along and with the utmost effort nursed him to health, gradually Golem Bomber feels the warmth of her personality, and lives with Mami and her mother happily. However, Mami's mother falls ill. Golem Bomber, knowing about a tournament that would grant one wish, in order to repay Mami and her mother by curing the illness, participates in the tournament.
* Notes: Firstly, as for the "head is a little bad" statement, I'm not sure if this means that he only has a little evil in him, or if it is supposed to be taken that his head is a little bad in that he's kind of slow. The translation for that word was "evil" or "bad" though.
Also, when it says he wants to repay Mami and her mother, it technically says that he is doing this in order to be worthy of them, or so it seemed to read.
Neat and clean, she is a princess. She becomes close friends with Mami.
Born a princess in a certain country (real name Reuishia・Raru・
Hebunkeeru), she led a life which was not uncomfortable. However, she was discontent that she had not done anything on her own in life. Seeing a broadcast of the tournament, she snuck out of the castle to face the tournament. "Father, I am sorry, but I must go to the tournament no matter what." The girl who has led a sheltered life began her first adventure. [There are a couple more sentences, but I'm not sure what they mean - seems to mention the royal family's cash card though]

Yeah I'd say "Seaballoon" but there is a Karabon from Bomberman Tournament/Story named "Sibaloon", and it sort of takes a route like a Makoknight/Serkol when they named Devil Bomber "Evil Bomber" in their Bomberman GB3 translation, since his name was "cleaned up" as such in the official translation of Bomberman Hero.

Anyway, I'm back to translating, and for some reason I started to work on the Super Bomberman 4 manual, so here's what I have. For each panel/section, I'll post the Japanese first, then my translation. For some, they are fuzzy or nonexistant, so please help out with things I'm unsure of if you'd like to.
STORY MANGA

[Panel 1 - Shiro and Kuro sleeping in the shuttle]
戦いの日々に追わる
ボンバ-マンたちは,
つかの間の休息を楽しみ
その帰路についていた...
After pursuing evil, Bomberman enjoyed a moment of rest in his everyday life of battles and was on the return route...
[Panel 2 - 4 energy comets flying at the shuttle]
そのシャトルに
忍び寄る,
あやしい4つの光...
Approaching the shuttle in stealth, 4 suspicious lights...
[Panel 3 - Shuttle exploding, Shiro, Kuro, Honey, & Kotetsu fall into black hole, no text]
[Panel 4 - Shiro waking up on dirt]
ブラックホ-ルに
吸い込まわた
ボンバ-マンたちが
たどりついた場所は...
Inhaled by the black hole, Bomberman arrives in a crowded place...
**** Need a second opinion on this one, "crowded" doesn't make sense...
[Panel 5 - Surprised Shiro sees a dinosaur and volcano, red text]
ナント,
原始時代!
What,
prehistoric times!
Page 5
[Panel 6 - Great Bomber speaks to Shiro through the void]
ワタシノナハ
ボンバ-マン-ト.
過去ヲカエ,オマエ
タチノ未来ヲ
ソウサスル.
ソレガ, バグラ-
サマノ意志ダ!
**** I don't really have any idea what is said here. He calls Bagura "Bagura-sama-to" and seems to mention a search or operation and Bagura's intention, which seem to have something to do with capture. Or I could be totally wrong. In any case it's probably the most important panel in the comic, story-wise.
[Panel 7 - Shiro fights his way through the second world]
BOOM
[Panel 8 - Shiro and Kuro dive into a portal, text is on a white caption box]
時空を超えて,
バグラ-の野望を
再び阻止するんだ!
Passing through space-time, Bagura's ambitions are foiled again!
**** Fuzzy on this one
[Panel 9 - Image of Bagura behind the evil Bombers posing, Shiro and Kuro jump out of an explosion looking determined]
未来を守るたぬ,
バグラ-に負けるわけには
いかないんだ!!
Protect the future, it seems impossible but defeat Bagura no matter what!!
****Also fuzzy on this, mostly since I don't know what Great Bomber said.
NORMAL MODE
Now for the normal mode pages. This is from the first one, covering the first world.
Rugged stage with rocks and suspension bridges. Dinosaurs, earthen figures and similar enemies of this old age appear.
**** Could use a double check
[トラップ ]
[Traps]
[落石]
[Falling Rocks]
画面外から落下してく
る岩に接触すると取得したアイテ
ムをばらまいています.
When these rocks fall out from the sides of the screen onto you, items you have are scattered.
[ウッホのアジト]
[Uggho Safe house/hideout]
敵キヤラのウッホが
次々と複 活. 炎 (爆風) を数回
当てることで爆破可能だ.
Uggho enemies exit one after another as you defeat them. With several blasts it is possible to destroy it.
**** The enemy's name is "Utuho", "Utu" means a pained exclamation like "oof" or "ugh", the latter which is a sound often attributed to cavemen, which is why I translated the name as such.
[[乗り物になる 敵キヤラ]]
[[Ridable Enemies]]
**** Actual Japanese name is like "Enemy which becomes the vehicle" or something similar.
トリケラトプス
Triceratops
ゆつくりと歩い
ているが, あな
どわない奴だ.
Walks slowly, but trapping it pays off.
特殊能力=貫通ボム
Special Ability = Pierce Bomb
**** Descriptive text should be accurate, unsure though. I wrote "pays off" since it seems to mention a victory which involves a big payoff, which I took to mean if you defeat the monster you get to ride it.
アンゴラ
Angler
地中にもぐり, ソ
フトブロックをす
り抜けてくる.
Dives underground, slips through Soft Blocks.
特殊能力=ブロック通過
Special Ability = Block Passage

Primeval Machine Gun Dogu-n
ダナ-ジを受けるたびに
頭から炎の球飛ばして
攻撃してくるぞ. 炎は通
路を動きまわり, 爆弾を
爆発させたり, アイテム
を燃やしてしまう.
ボンバ-四天王
It parries your attacks each time by throwing fireballs from its head. The flame moves and turns through passages, detonating bombs and burning items.
**** For the name, "Dogu" means an earthen/clay figure; the name sounds better in Japanese since you can't really put an "n" at the end of the English meaning.
CHARACTERS
Although the characters all appear in the Battle Mode section, I'll be putting Hammer Bomber's description here. Also:
ボンバ-四天王
Bomber Shitennou/Four Deva Bombers
I know it's been mentioned that they're the "Bomber Shitennou", but... why not Four Deva Bombers?
Anyway.

While moving left and right at the top of the screen, it shoots bombs out of the cannons on both arms. After the bomb falls to the floor it starts to slide, when it hits an obstacle it stops.
EDIT: I'd like a second opinion on this paragraph, it's the one where Great Bomber is speaking to Bomberman:
"_, Bomberman. The past will change, you will be cleared from the future. That, Bagura-sama intends to capture!"
As you can see, I have that first part before "Bomberman" blank because I can't rightly figure it out. The rest, I am unsure of and would simply like a second opinion. It would be greatly appreciated! Peace Wink

Per Duke Serkol's request, I shelled out £21 on a game with a ten page manual. Here's the Battle Lode Runner manual! I haven't got translating any text yet, but I now have a source that Black Bomberman is referred to by name and not just left unidentified. Because that was such an important fact to find out.
Niiice. Looks like the front cover contains story text. I see "Black Bomberman" in there, so... Guess I could start translating that.
EDIT: Hey, who is it that has smartOCR or something around here? Would you mind running the first page through that? I will gladly read through it all and correct any mistakes made by the software. Otherwise, it will take me a long time to transcribe this wall of text. Not to mention that there probably isn't much in it that we don't already know.
Glancing at the two and a half sentences I've already transcribed, it mentions the time machine research laboratory, and it appears to describe it as being located in Kagurazaka, a part of Tokyo. But this is just a glance.
SmartOCR'd! I only fixed a few mistakes with some early kana, I didn't fix any of the kanji (I'm pretty sure the 襞 on the second line isn't right). I think one of the Virtual Console pages for the game states that the story's about time travel, but that's about all I know.
Here in Kagurazaka, there is a certain time machine research center. Through research, the perfection of the time machine drew near. That time is now!
Black Bomberman led a gang to attack the research center, stealing all of its research funds in gold bars! And then, the group took the time machine to escape and scattered, hiding the gold bars in various eras. With this research, even the survival of the research center is foolishly jeopardized... So the researchers gathered the men called "Lode Runners", selecting one ace Lode Runner, and sent him out in a time machine...
----
Ok, this is my best shot... Not sure if I got the sentence structures exactly as they were originally, but all the information is there. Also, about the whole "one ace Lode Runner" thing, the word is "able" or "competent", but when checking in Google Translate it came up with "ace", which kind of sounds better...
Not really sure about the second to last sentence. Is the research center jeopardized because the funds are stolen, or because time is being altered (key word "even" the survival of the research center)?
Through research, the perfection of the time machine drew near. That time is now!
Mh... but the game has to be set in the future if there are things such as a time machine and Bombermen.

...honestly, I'd always assumed Black had robbed a bank like in BManII then hijacked the time machine to get away from his pursuers.
That the gold bars were actually in the same building as the time machine is so ridiculous I have a hard time imagining how they thought of it as a plausible idea.

lol, yeah that is pretty absurd, but I guess its pretty convenient for Black bomber.
Maybe someone in the research center was thinking the same thing and was planning on ditching taking all the gold bars with him. So he got them to store them there. heh
I was wondering how long will it be before you guys finish translating the Fantasy Race manual?
Considering that it seems like the guys who do the translating haven't been around in a while, who knows? Plus these seem to be done mostly by request. It may help if you made a request for it.
