Player FAQ
Is this game multiplayer like later Bomberman entries?
No, the USA version for PC Engine/Turbografx-16 (which is based on the NES release in content) lacks the iconic multiplayer battle mode. The experience is based solely on its challenging single-player maze adventure.
What main obstacles do I face?
Your main obstacles are the many soft (destructible) block walls that create the maze structures. They form the classic layout of each stage and often conceal special power-up items.
What are the common power-ups I can collect?
Common power-ups found by blasting soft blocks include Bomb-Up (lets you place more bombs simultaneously), Fire-Up (increase the bomb blast radius), Speed-Up, and the Bomb Pass which allows you to safely walk through bombs.
