Practical FAQ

How long is the Single-Player mode?

The main quest consists of eight worlds with five stages each, for a total of 40 mazes. Completion time varies by skill and power-up strategy, but the focus is on replayability for better times and secrets, not just finishing.

Where is the 5 Player Multiplayer option?

You can access the 5-player Battle Mode directly from the main menu 'BATTLE GAME' option, which requires the Turbografx-16 multi-tap add-on to connect more than two controllers.

How do Remote or Punch Bombs work?

First find a 'REMOTE CONTROL' power-up item. Now with it unlocked, when you drop a bomb using the default button, use button II (Kick Punch button, X key) on another to punch-kick it sliding a tile, or button I (the bomb place button) simultaneously with RUN (Shift for Turbo function) to blow it up anytime you choose.

How many stages are in Bomberman '93?

The single-player 'Normal Game' features exactly 8 worlds with 5 areas each for a standard total of 40 levels. After world eight area five is 'Final Zone Extra', the last stage concluding the full game narrative's 9 distinct maps counted as 8+1 extra for 41? No.

Can you save your progress?

Typically, vintage console cartridges do not have internal batteries for saving progress. Instead, progress is measured by clearing successive worlds in a single gaming session, using manual password systems at the end of World stage groupings to resume later.
