Plot

The 11th planet of Bomber Nebula, named Owen, faces a sudden earthquake. Deep within its underground, the terrible Evil Bomber, who had been trapped for ages, finally rises to power and steals the Bomber Capsules from Bomberman. Bomberman and his friends must now take back the Capsules and defeat Evil Bomber!

Gameplay

The game retains its original maze-like gameplay. However, at the beginning of each stage, an objective is displayed that must be completed to clear it. Every fifth level involves collecting gems on the map, and if the player collects enough, two bell items will appear near the exit. These two items will offer the player help during the boss fight. After defeating a boss, it will leave behind Bomb Capsules that can be used in the shop to purchase extra abilities.
