Super Bomberman 4

Top: Story mode gameplay. Bottom: Multiplayer battle mode. Super Bomberman 4 is an action game in which players lay bombs to destroy enemies or other bombermen. Other than laying bombs, the game includes a number of power-ups , which allow players to increase the range of a bomb's explosion, punch or kick bombs already on the ground, or pick them up and throw them at another player.

The explosions of the bombs can harm anyone on the field, including the bombermen who left the bomb in the first place. There are two game modes, Normal Game (the campaign, which can be played with two players), and the Battle Game, which has three separate modes. New to the game are a wide range of creatures which are enemies to the player, but when defeated, they turn into eggs. When the player picks an egg, they can use the creatures, which come in two types, organic and mechanical .

Players can pick additional eggs to store more creatures, but only of the same type of creature that they are riding. Certain stages contain cages with trapped allies inside. When freed, allies move around the stages mostly destroying the soft blocks. Stages also have secret warps which transport the player to a number of bonus stages.

These warps can only be accessed when two players play the game together, and one player, using the Power Glove item, tosses the other player to the warp. Normal Game Normal Game returns to the objective of the original game, with Bomberman needing to defeat all enemies to reveal the goal. This mode features five worlds, each with eight levels. Bomberman will face the Four Bomber Kings and Great Bomber in the seventh level of each world, then face the world's boss at the last level.

When a world is cleared, players may revisit it. Levels can be replayed via passwords.
