A Theravada bodhisattva is simply a Buddha-to-be, meaning that he is someone who will become a Buddha in the future, based on his purification of all old karma, and cessation of new karma.
But a Mahayana bodhisattva is a more magical figure, capable of flying through the cosmos and responding to the prayers of devotees.
Thus, unlike in Theravada, the bodhisattva is very important as an object of devotion in Mahayana.
