Verified against the spelunky.ai port [v0.1.10](https://github.com/851-labs/spelunky/releases/tag/v0.1.10) on 28 October 2026. The Bomb Shop is a shop in Spelunky Classic that sells bombs, in bags and boxes, and the Paste that makes them stick. ![A wooden sign hanging from two chains, with a round black bomb painted on it](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/media/9298410b19d5e050/sprites/sSignBomb/frames/0%404x.png) | Bomb Shop | | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Chance | 1 in 7 of the shops levels 2–15 build[^1] | | Shopkeeper | [Shopkeeper](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/shopkeeper) | | Found in | [The Mines](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/mines)[^1], [The Jungle](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/jungle)[^2], [The Ice Caves](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/ice-caves)[^3], [The Temple](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/temple)[^4], [Black Market](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/black-market)[^5] | | Sells | [Paste](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/paste) | Its Shopkeeper welcomes the player with "WELCOME TO TONY'S BOMB SHOP!", his name one of 32 drawn at random[^6][^7]. It sells the player's [bombs](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb), in Bomb Bags and Bomb Boxes, and the [Paste](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/paste) that makes them sticky. Like every shop it's a side room off the way through a level, with four wares on its floor and the [Shopkeeper](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/shopkeeper) beside them. ## Stock The shop has four wares, and each is rolled on its own[^8][^9]. The rolls go down the table until one hits; a hit on the Paste when the level already has one rolls again from the top[^10]: | Ware | Roll | | | --------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ----- | | [Paste](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/paste) | 1 in 5, if the level has none | [^11] | | Bomb Box, 12 | Otherwise 1 in 4 | [^12] | | Bomb Bag, 3 | Otherwise | [^13] | So until the level has a Paste, each ware is a Paste one time in five, a Bomb Box one time in five (4 in 5 times 1 in 4) and a Bomb Bag three times in five; once it has one, a Box one time in four and a Bag otherwise. The check is for a Paste on the level, not for the player's, so a Bomb Shop sells the Paste to a player who already has it[^14][^15]. ## Prices A ware costs its base price on level 2, and 10% of that more for each level after it[^16]. Each ware's own page has its price on every level: | Ware | Level 2 | Level 5 | Level 9 | Level 13 | Level 15 | | --------------------------------------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | -------- | -------- | | Bomb Bag | $2,500 | $3,250 | $4,250 | $5,250 | $5,750 | | Bomb Box | $10,000 | $13,000 | $17,000 | $21,000 | $23,000 | | [Paste](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/paste) | $3,000 | $3,900 | $5,100 | $6,300 | $6,900 | A box of 12 costs four times a bag of 3, so a bomb costs the same either way. A Black Market's Bomb Shop prices its wares by the level the market is on[^17]. ## Shopkeeper **Clip: Buying bombs in a Bomb Shop.** The player walks into a Bomb Shop on level 2 and its shopkeeper welcomes him. He picks up a bag of three bombs for $2500 and pays, and his bombs go from 4 to 7. ([video](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/media/9298410b19d5e050/clips/bomb-shop/buy/clip.mp4)) The Shopkeeper sells as in every shop ([the General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store#shopkeeper) has the details): he names the price of a ware the player holds, and the pay key buys it[^18][^19]. A bag or a box is used up as it's bought, adding its bombs to the player's, and the Paste goes on, making every bomb he throws from then on sticky[^20]. In the clip, the player picks up a bag priced at $2,500 and pays for it, and his bombs go from 4 to 7[^21]. The wares are bombs not yet lit, and nothing in them angers him. A bomb the player lights inside the shop within 96 pixels of him does ("TERRORIST!"), and so does breaking a block of the shop's walls or floor ("DIE, YOU VANDAL!")[^22][^23]. Either angers every Shopkeeper near the screen, not only the shop's, and in a [Black Market](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/black-market) a burning bomb adds to the thief count again on every step for each one off screen ([the General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store#stealing) has the details)[^15][^24]. Angered, he gives the wares away and attacks with his [Shotgun](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/shotgun)[^25]. ## Stealing Carrying a ware out of the shop's room unpaid angers the Shopkeeper ("COME BACK HERE, THIEF!") and gives it to the player as if bought[^26][^27]. A player who runs and jumps out of an Ice Caves Bomb Shop with the Paste has it on as he leaves[^28]. A theft marks the player a thief into the next level, whose exit has a Shopkeeper waiting by it and whose shops' wares are free ([the General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store#stealing) has the rules)[^29]. ## Locations A level from 2 to 15 that rolls a shop builds one of seven kinds, each as likely, so a shop is a Bomb Shop one time in seven (one in six on a Temple sacrifice pit level, which never has a Kissing Parlor)[^30][^1][^31][^4]. [The Mines](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/mines#shops) has how levels roll shops. A [Black Market](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/black-market) has five shops that sell items, as a rule one of each kind, a Bomb Shop among them ([the General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store#trivia) has the exception)[^5][^15]. ## Trivia - Its sign shows a bomb, and the source's name for the shop is "Bomb"[^32]. - The [Weapon Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/weapon-shop) sells Bomb Bags and Bomb Boxes too, and a Weapon Shop that fails twenty times to find a weapon the level hasn't got sells a Bomb Bag instead[^33]. ## FAQ ### What does the Bomb Shop sell in Spelunky Classic? Four wares, each a Bomb Bag (3), a Bomb Box (12) or the [Paste](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/paste), which makes the player's bombs stick to what they touch. A level has one Paste at most. ### How much does a box of bombs cost in Spelunky Classic? $10,000 on level 2, and 10% of that more on each level after it, up to $23,000 on level 15. A bag costs $2,500 on level 2. ### Can you bomb a Bomb Shop in Spelunky Classic? Only at a cost. A bomb the player lights inside any shop, near the Shopkeeper, angers him ("TERRORIST!"), as does breaking the shop's walls or floor. ## See also - **Related:** [Shopkeeper](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/shopkeeper), [Bomb](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/bomb), [General Store](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/general-store), [Weapon Shop](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/weapon-shop), [Two General Stores](https://spelunky.ai/wiki/two-general-stores) ## References [^1]: `scripts/scrRoomGen.gml:173-204` [^2]: `scripts/scrRoomGen2.gml:160-189` [^3]: `scripts/scrRoomGen3.gml:122-152` [^4]: `scripts/scrRoomGen4.gml:155-188` [^5]: `scripts/scrRoomGenMarket.gml:117-140` [^6]: `objects/oShopkeeper/step.gml:127` [^7]: `scripts/scrGetName.gml:24-60` [^8]: `scripts/scrRoomGen.gml:173-191` [^9]: `scripts/scrRoomGen.gml:448-451` [^10]: `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:24-35` [^11]: `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:28-31` [^12]: `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:32` [^13]: `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:33` [^14]: `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:30` [^15]: Quirk 1 (docs/quirks.md) [^16]: `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:179-191` [^17]: `scripts/scrRoomGenMarket.gml:357-360` [^18]: `objects/oShopkeeper/step.gml:72-85` [^19]: `objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:1359-1389` [^20]: `scripts/scrStealItem.gml:68-102` [^21]: Clip bomb-shop/buy [^22]: `objects/oBomb/step.gml:6-17` [^23]: `objects/oSolid/destroy.gml:1-7` [^24]: Replay `fidelity/replays/shop-seed-9-market-bomb.txt` [^25]: `objects/oShopkeeper/step.gml:337-408` [^26]: `objects/oPlayer1/step.gml:541-557` [^27]: `objects/oItem/step.gml:17-34` [^28]: Replay `fidelity/replays/item-seed-53-paste.txt` [^29]: `scripts/scrInitLevel.gml:245-257` [^30]: `scripts/scrLevelGen.gml:239-297` [^31]: `scripts/scrRoomGenYeti.gml:149-181` [^32]: `scripts/scrRoomGen.gml:181` [^33]: `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml:36-67` ### Source code - `scripts/scrShopItemsGen.gml` - `scripts/scrRoomGen.gml` - `scripts/scrRoomGenMarket.gml` - `objects/oShopkeeper/step.gml` - `scripts/scrStealItem.gml`
