Gameplay
Gameplay
Players must navigate a series of levels, defeating enemies by blowing them up with Bomberman's infinite supply of bombs. Unlike previous games, power-ups are added to an inventory to be used when the player wishes, rather than activated immediately upon collection. Power-ups in the player's inventory are carried over should the player lose a life, but those which have been used have their effects canceled. A total of 18 different power-ups are available in the game.
