|Introduction|
--------------
The tricks section will feature tips sent in by
readers and me, so the FAQ will be updated occasionally. This FAQ doesn't cover
the single player mode, but has some passwords(if I can find my book)
--------------
|Current News|
--------------
1.5a: I made an error numbering. The version number on GFAQS should be 1.5, for
5 stages desribed. Also disregard all places where screenshot is used, as I
cannot currently produce this FAQ in HTML form, as FrontPage Express does not
allow more than one space between words. Aside from that, start reading! Oh
yeah, the URL at the top of the FAQ was wrong. It's fixed now.
1.6: I know now that an HTML Version of this FAQ Is impossible to make with my
software (FrontPage Express) A Text version is up, and updated when I update
the FAQ on GameFAQS.
1.7: First update of the new year, but It isn't a big one. Sorry, out too late
& just got to my computer. Also, I've added more sections to my web site.
Changed the History section a little. Lately, I've dug out the good ol' NES and
played Bomberman on it. No battle Mode, so I'm ticked and have decided to fish
out the original Legend of Zelda. Good game, harder than Ocarina and Link to
the Past. I've died ten times and I've just got my second eigth of the
Triforce. Compare that to my spotless record through the Water Temple on
Ocarina and nine deaths to beat Link to the Past. I haven't even started the
second after my 4 or 5 years away from the classic. Enough reminencing for now,
I'll put up a section about me on my page tonight when I send this update to my
good buddy CJayC of GameFAQS and upload it to my page. On with the FAQ!!! If
my ASCII Maps look like they took awile, they didn't because the size of each
map is only 195 characters in size(not including the line breaks), and they only
take a couple minutes to make, unlike the Bomb up top I drew which took about 10
minutes. This turned out to be the biggest update since v1.5a!

|Modes|
-------
This go-round, we've got two battle modes: Classic Free-for-All, and Team mode.
Both will be described here.
FFA
In this mode, you can choose 4 combatants: Human, Computer, or Off. The
standard colors are White, Black, Red, and Blue. Time can be set to 1 min,
2 min, 3 min, 5 min, and No Time Limit. Gold Bomberman, A.K.A. G-Bomber, means
that the winner gets a random powerup at the start of each match. You can also
set 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 battles to win the match. The last option on the option
select screen is COM Level. It's a slider-style option. Nine is hardest, but I
can't tell any difference. I'm gonna do some research on that, so I'll get back
on that.
Team Battle
This mode is the same as the Free-for-All, except the Bombermen are separated
into a White and Black team. The Gold Bomberman option is not available.
--------
|Stages|
--------
There are ten stages for battle. I will describe them here.
Stage One
Standard Bomberman Stage. Consists of the basic grid, which is an evenly spaced
grid of hard blocks, with soft blocks filling the arena. Soft blocks are
randomly removed to make each battle different. Not much to say, but if you
have the Glove from G-Bomber, you can get a quick two kills. This is an average
level, average difficulty, average fun
Stage Two
Icy Stage. Basic grid, with the randomly removed blocks. Three major
differences here: There are 6 holes that when you drop in to them, The surface
is very slippery, providing almost no traction, The soft blocks can be pushed
like a bomb is kicked, except you don't need the kick item. A little more
difficult, a nice challenge killing people. New for v1.6: the pits don't work
after the sky starts falling.
Stage Three
Pac Man Stage. Non-Basic Grid. This stage is named for the wrap-around "warps"
on the top and bottom of the screen. Also, the Bombermen cannot walk through
each other as in the other stages. This makes it so you can "push" other
Bombermen into explosions. A good way to get a controller thrown at you (which
kinda hurts, it's happened to me:).
Stage Four
Trench Stage. Basic Grid, with trench that is the limit of the arena after the
"Blocks of Doom" all fall down. Any explosion that touches the trench lights
the whole trench, killing anyone on it. The COM players will always fall victim
to the trench, as it only tries to avoid the bomb's actual explosion. If you
want a prolonged battle on this field, don't play just computer controlled
Bombermen, otherwise the match will be Gone in 15 Seconds:)
Stage Five
Roofed Stage. Basic grid, randomly removed blocks, with roofing over some 3x2
areas. Roofing fades, then goes back in a pattern. This stage has the infamous
Blast Pad, causing any bomb the detonates on the pad to detonate at max blast.
Kicking a bomb, and timing the explosion so the bomb blows on the pad is another
way to get a controller thrown at you. Please note that all MaxBlast Pads are
initially covered by a Soft Block.
Stage Six
Twin Warp Stage. Non basic grid, with two Red and Blue warps each. Walking
over (or kicking a bomb over) a warp will send the object to its twin. You can
often get a quick kill by walking over the warp and killing the BomberMan on the
other side. Note: the rules for flying controllers (look out!) apply here when
warping to the quick kill.
Stage Seven
Race Track Stage. Non basic grid, with only one soft block that constantly
regenerates unless a powerup was revealed. Also notable are the two numbered
pads that change your speed to the shown number, 1 being the slowest and 5
being the fastest.

|Powerups|
----------
Here I will list all the powerups that appear in the game. Yay. When you are
blown to BomberBits(patent pending:), all powerups you are carrying get sent to
random locations around the battlefield, including powerups won with the
G-Bomber feature except the Heart and Turtle.
Black Bomb
Adds another bomb to the maximum you can have on the ground at a time.
Limit: 9 total (8 pickups)
Flame
Increases the range of your detonations. Maximum of 9 (7 pickups, 8 in single
player).
RollerBlade
Increases your speed. After about 4 your speed is constant.
Heart Bomb
Lets you control your bomb's explosion. Press B to detonate a laid bomb. This
power cancelled by Power, Red, or Jelly Bomb powerups.
Block and Bomb Pass
Lets you go through soft blocks and laid bombs, respectivly.
Glove
Allows you to throw a bomb you just laid. Press and hold A to pick it up,
release to throw. Picking up a bomb stops the fuse where it is at.
Kick
Allows you to kick any laid bomb. Touch the bomb to kick it, press X to stop it.
Heart
Allows you to withstand a deadly blow. No max, one hit per heart. You have
about 10 sec of invincibility before you can be hit again. A deadly blow,
unfortunately, is any blow to the lonesome hero. This powerup is not salvaged
from the wreckage of you destroyed Bomberman, as it is used automatically when
you are hit by anything.
GoldFlame
Instantly sets Flame length to 9. Only one is needed.
Power Bomb
Like a limited GoldFlame. Your first bomb laid has a P on it and explodes at
max range. Ths power cancelled by Heart, Red, and Jelly bomb powers.
Red Bomb
Sets the explosion to go through as many Soft Blocks or Powerups as it can with
its current flame length. This power canceled by Heart, Power, and Jelly Bombs.
Jelly Bomb
When you kick or through a jelly bomb, it crazily bounces around. Cancelled by
Heart, Power, and Red Bomb pickups.
Turtle
Only accessible with G-Bomber, this item reduces your speed one level. The
first stake you pickup will negate this effect. This powerup is not dropped
when the owner is blown up
Disease
This powerdown can only be destroyed by killing the carrier of the disease. If
a diseased is touched by flame, it bounces away. The disease is ejected from
your body by touching another Bomberman, or grabing an item. The disease's
effects are as follows: Super Speed, Super Slow, Bomb laid when ever possible,
no dropping bombs, Invisibility, Super speed and uncontrollable bomb drop, one
one-range bomb at a time
--------
|Tricks|
--------
This section will be often updated. Tricks are organized chronologically by
version added
v1.5a No Tricks yet.
v1.6 Three new tricks.
EBE
Trap: Drop a bomb in front of victim as shown: SVS S= Block, B=Bomb, V=Victim,
E=Empty Space SSS
Trap Throw: Arrange above situation, but instead of dropping the bomb, throw the
bomb from behind so it beans the victim in the head before stopping at his feet.
Trap Kick: Same thing, but stop a kicked bomb in front of the victim.
v1.7 A New Password
1111: Enter the password 1111 at the password input screen to start the one
player game with 6 bombs and firepower, Trigger Bombs, and a Glove.
