2. Introduction
================
Super Bomberman was one of the first Bomberman games I played and one
of my favorites. I used to play this game all of the time. I could beat
people in the Battle Mode and I believe that I developed a kind of
skill and a style to how I played the game. That is probably my main
reason for deciding to write a FAQs for this game. I saw the page and
it looked very empty to me. I was disappointed (and a little excited)
to see the FAQs page so empty for this game. So I made up my mind. I
will write a FAQs for Super Bomberman.

What makes this game interesting? I think it is mostly because it is
different from a lot of other games. I don't even know how to compare
it to another game other then another Bomberman game. It has its own
strategy and it has its own type of game play and design. There is just
something about its uniqueness that makes it so great to play.

The other thing is it is not a very complicated game to learn. It is
basic and others could probably pick it up fast. It does take awhile to
understand how to be good at it, though. Still it is nice when you do
not have to learn many moves to end up winning or to have a fighting
chance. Sometimes winning in Bomberman is just made from being lucky
that round.

It is also a great game to play with friends. It is always fun to blow
up your friends in competition. Even if you are not that great at it,
it is still overly all fun.

=======================================================================
3. About FAQs
==============
I have attempted to make this FAQs as simple as possible. Each section
is labeled with a number and then the name of the section.

For the story section, I just go in order of levels. There is a
particular level you are looking for, just search for that exact level.

(Ex: Search "1-1" for the first level.)

This works for every level except for the ones in world five. If you
have gotten that far you would understand why.

I have attempted to make the FAQs so you can read it well in Microsoft
Notepad and have it print out well and give you a small margin on the
right side so you can write notes. I have made so there are 72
characters on a line.

If you have any questions or suggestions about this FAQs, please
contact me. I am open to what you have to say about my FAQs and I would
like to do anything possible to improve them.

=======================================================================
4. Strategies
==============
There are always strategies in any Bomberman game. Here I have noted
some of the strategies that I use and some useful techniques to get on
a path to victory.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bomb Awareness
---------------
Do not stand in the path of a bomb blast, even if you think you know
how far it will go. If at all possible, just get out of the row or
column that a bomb is laid in. Sometimes other Bombermen will pick up a
gold fire or some regular fires and you will not know about it. It is
always wise to just expect bombs to be as big as they could be.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bomb Time
----------
This is another important thing to understand. Every bomb, as you can
see, it breathes as I say. Usually the timing is around three seconds,
but if you can follow how a bomb goes in and out and get the exact time
of when it will explode, then there are very powerful techniques you
can use. You could kick a bomb, and right as it gets to a Bomberman,
then it would explode, or you could punch a bomb at a Bomberman, have
it land on him, and then explode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go For The Punch Or Kick
-------------------------
The Punch item is probably one of the best items, because it allows you
to get out of places when a bomb traps you. It will let you get out of
the way of two bombs or more, unlike the kick that is only able to get
you out of situations when you are trapped by one bomb. Also these are
the only two items that allow you to move bombs around on the screen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Know your poison
-----------------
Knowing all of the poisons, and how to control them can be a very
powerful thing indeed. You can then infect others; especially people
you know will have a hard time with a poison. It is a very useful
strategy to use, as long as you are prepared to handle all of the
different types of poisons, since you cannot tell what kind of poison
it is just by looking at the item.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Standing on your Bomb
----------------------
This is especially useful in the Story Mode, but can also be useful in
the Battle Mode as well. When you lay a bomb you are right under it,
sometimes it is a good tactic to stay on your bomb for a couple of
seconds before it blows up since enemies in the Story Mode will not be
able to hit you then. Sometimes this is useful in the Battle Mode if
you don't want Bombermen to walk past you.

=======================================================================
5. Story Mode
==============
For the Story Mode, I will be going through each level one by one,
telling the enemies in the level and some items you should find, and
giving suggestions on how to get through the level. First, though, I
should explain a couple of things and suggestions even before you get
started with the story mode.

In the story mode, you move from room to room. Each room (except for
boss rooms and world four) is filled with an amount of enemies and
blocks that you can blow up and ones that you cannot. You can get out
of the room by blowing up all of the enemies and finding the door (a
blue square) and going into it. The door is always hidden underneath
one of the blocks that you can blow up somewhere.

Also in each room you will have time limit before your Bomberman will
expire. There are 14 blocks and each block has eight seconds on it.

I also would like to note that I just made up the names of all of the
enemies, and sometimes I end up changing the name for a later stage.
Usually the level enemies are never too hard to figure out anyway.

Anyway, let's get onto the level-by-level walkthroughs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-1
----------
The first level is pretty simple. There are three enemies, red
propeller guys. They only take one hit from a bomb blast to blow up and
they should be pretty simple. Also you should find a bomb item or two,
which will increase the number of bombs you can have on the screen at
one time and you should find at least one fire item, which increases
your bomb blast by one.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-2
----------
Now there are a few more enemies. Well five total, two floating jelly
guys and three red propellers. The only thing that is special about the
floating jelly enemies is they take two bomb blasts to destroy.

I found a bomb and a roller skate (which increases your Bomberman's
speed) in this level.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-3
----------
There are nine potato rabbits in this stage (yes, I am creative). The
enemies are pretty easy and only take one bomb blast to kill. The only
thing different about these guys is that they are a little faster then
the red propeller guys you fought before.

In this stage I found a kick item (lets you kick your bombs into foes),
bomb item, and a fire item.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-4
----------
Now there are six enemies in this stage, two red propeller guys, two
floating jelly men, and two black floating bombs guys. The floating
bomb guys are probably the hardest enemy in this stage since they have
an attack. Then they stop floating they let out a bomb blast. They only
take one hit, though and should not give you too much trouble.

Items that I found include: An invincible vest (makes you invincible
for a limited amount of time) and a roller skate.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-5
----------
For this level, the enemies include three black bombs, two red
propellers, and a bomb eater. The bomb eater can eat your bombs so
either use kick on it, or place your bombs in the right amount of
distance where it will explode before he can get it to.

Items I found where, remote bombs (you can dentate your bombs when you
want to, push B to do so) and a clock (which replenishes your time on
your Bomberman).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-6
----------
There are two black bombs, two floating jelly men, and two tanks. The
tanks can shoot out a flame, but they only do so when they stop moving.
The tanks take three hits, I think.

The only item I found was a wall walker, which let's you walk through
blocks, but only the ones you can blow up with bomb blasts.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-7
----------
This level includes three black floating bombs, and three tanks. Use
the same strategy as before on these enemies.

I found an extra life and a bomb item in this level.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1-8
----------
The first boss is not too hard if you have kick and remote bombs still.
All you have to do is kick a bomb at him and when it gets to him,
detonate it. You have to watch out from standing right in front of him,
because when he stops moving, it means he is going to hit you with his
hammer, but he can only hit you with it if you are right in front of
him. He takes ten hits to kill, and should not cause you too much
trouble.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-1
----------
There are eight new enemies in this level. Four spring guys, two face
guys, and two teacup guys. They are all pretty simple and all of them
only take one hit. The only challenging guys here are the teacups. They
have wall walker and can go through blocks.

Items I found include a bomb item and a clock.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-2
----------
There are four teacup guys and three bomb guys. I have already
explained about these enemies beforehand.

The items I found in this level include a punch (lets you punch bombs
three spaces) and a bomb walker (lets you walk through bombs, but not
the bombs that are enemies themselves. Also when you get this item it
cancels out the kick item and visa versa.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-3
----------
In this level there are three face guys, three springs, and one floor
ship. The floor ship is the only new enemy. They travel slowly, but
they take a couple of hits to kill.

I found a fire, a bomb, and a remote bomb items.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-4
----------
There are three black bomb guys, two floating jelly men, and three
yellow changing orbs. The changing orbs are not very hard, but they
have wall walker, and when they stop moving, they change into a block
and disappear. If you look closely you can still see their eyes though,
and they do not move around when they are invisible.

Items I found were wall walker and an invincible vest.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-5
----------
In this level there are three springs and four coins. The coins are one
of the worst enemies in the game by my opinion. They move fast and they
can move through walls. I suggest attempting to kill them while you are
still invincible since they only take one hit to kill.

Items I found were a bomb, a fire, and a roller skate.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-6
----------
Enemies for this level are three face guys, two springs, and two red
bombs. You have to be careful with the red bombs, since their blast
does not stop when it hits a block or another bomb. They only take one
hit, though.

Items I found were a kick and a punch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-7
----------
The hard part about this level is that the blocks that you can explode
go invisible and then reappear constantly. You cannot travel through
the blocks when they are invisible, so you just have to keep track of
them, unless you have a wall walker item.

In this level the enemies are two teacups, two springs, and three bomb
eaters.

The items I remember finding in this level were two roller skates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2-8
----------
The second boss you have to face is the clown. He can be hard, but of
course not if you have a punch or kick and a remote bomb item. The
easiest thing to do is to punch or kick bombs into his direction since
it is not too hard to hit him. You have to be careful because when you
hit him there are eight electric shocks that come out of him and you
have to dodge them. He takes 18 hits, so be careful.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-1
----------
In this level there are three Plant Diggers and three Green Pirates.
All of them are fairly easy and only take one hit. The Plant Diggers
will burrow underground every once in awhile and pop up in a new place.

Items include: Red Bombs, Kick

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-2
----------
For this level there are two Plant Diggers, two Green Pirates, and
three Bomb Eaters appear on the screen. These are all enemies I have
mentioned earlier.

Items include: Invincible Vest, Punch

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-3
----------
I think in this lever there are two Blue Rollers, two Block Changers,
and two Plant Diggers, but I am not sure. I forgot to count.

Items include: Golden Fire

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-4
----------
There are five Hard Hats and three Red Ice Cream Spinners in this
stage. The Hard Hats take two hits, and the Red Ice Cream Spinners take
three hits.

Items include: Punch, Remote Bombs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-5
----------
In this level I found four Hard Hats and Four Brown Chargers. There are
both enemies I have talked about earlier.

Items include: Two Clocks, Extra Bomberman

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-6
----------
This level contains Seven Chameleons, which change their form into
white and black Bombermen. They only take one hit, but you can only
destroy them while they are in their original form.

Items include: Bomb

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-7
----------
I found four Chameleons and four Brown Chargers in this level. They are
all enemies I have mentioned before.

Items include: Kick, Punch, Roller Skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3-8
----------
This boss gets into this claw machine. The best thing to have for this
guy is a kick and remote bombs, since then you just have to kick bombs
up from the bottom and then detonate them. If you don't have these
items, then you will have to go up and lay bombs at the top of the
screen. Lay them two to four squares before the top in the area you can
walk and make sure the blast can travel in all four directions. Also be
careful for when he stops moving since this means he is going to use
his claws or release enemies. The enemies can be hard since they have
punch, but they only take one hit, and usually if you lay bombs in
front of them, you can destroy them as they are getting out of the
machine. I think this boss takes around ten hits, but I wasn't
counting, so I don't know for sure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-1
----------
Enemies for this area include three Black Bombs, two Red Bombs, and two
Tanks. These are all enemies that have been seen in earlier stages.

Items include: Bomb, Punch, Fire

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-2
----------
The enemies for this level are three Block Changers, two Fruit Loops,
and three Grey Chargers. These enemies have all been met before in
previous levels.

Items include: Wall Walker, Invincible Vest

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-3
----------
The enemies for this stage include three Coins, two Space Ships, and
three Grey Chargers. I have already talked about these enemies before.

Items include: Roller Skate, Bomb, Kick

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-4
----------
There are seven enemies in this stage, in which four are Space Ships,
two are Tanks, and one is a Grey Propeller. The Grey Propeller takes a
total of five hits and should not cause too many problems, except for
the fact they can move fairly fast.

Items include: Fire

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-5
----------
The enemies for this level are three Red Bombs and three Grey
Propellers. These enemies you have already seen in previous levels.

Items include: two Clocks

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-6
----------
The enemies here include three Coins, two Fruit Loops, and two Grey
Chargers.

Items include: Remote Bombs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-7
----------
The enemies for this level are five Coins and three Red Bombs. These
are all enemies I have already talked about before.

Items include: Bomb, Punch, Roller Skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4-8
----------
This boss can be fairly easy if you know some simple strategies. To hit
him, you need to hit him with bombs that will push him into the side of
the arena. He will have a hard time hitting you if you stay close to
the edges, so I suggest you stay there and then travel towards the
center to lay a couple of bombs and then travel back to the edge. This
is a simple strategy that works. Also if you have a Punch, Kick, or
Remote Bombs, then use them to your advantage. It makes the fight a lot
easier. He takes 17 hits against the side, but once you get into a good
strategy, it seems to go by very fast.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
World 5
--------
The levels in World 5 are different then the ones in any other world.
Here you fight in an arena against "evil" Bomberman while a crowd of
people watch. All of them shouldn't be too hard, since they can only
lay one bomb and their bombs have a blast of one (except for the last
one). Just make sure you collect the items that appear at random around
the arena, or if you cannot get to them, blow them up. The best
strategy to use here is to just trap them in by running through them
while laying all the bombs you can. The white, black, red, and blue
Bombermen all take only one hit, while the green, pink, and purple ones
take two hits. The last one, the golden one, takes five hits, and he
also has large bombs and can lay the maximum amount of bombs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-1
----------
The enemies for this stage are as follows: two Red Propellers, two
Springs, and two Fruit Loops. These are all easy enemies and you should
have no problem defeating them.

Items include: Wall Walker, Fire, Bomb

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-2
----------
The enemies for this level are three Black Bombs, two Block Changers,
and two Plant Diggers. These enemies should not cause you problems.

Items include: Roller Skate, Kick

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-3
----------
The enemies for this stage are three Brown Chargers, three Belly
Lights, and two Space Ships. The Belly Lights take three hits, since I
do not remember if they had appeared before or not.

Items include: Remote Bombs, Punch, Bomb

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-4
----------
This level is a little bit different then the rest, since the enemies
in it are just two Soldiers. These guys are not very easy, though. They
can block your bomb blasts from the front and they take eight hits to
take down. Also I would suggest that you don't hit the door with any
bomb blasts, since it will generate more of them. If there are already
two on the screen, though, then hitting the door wont do anything. I
guess the game figures that two at a time is enough. A usual strategy I
use is to lay a bomb right in front of one of them, and then on the
side of that cross road, so he will turn around and attempt to travel
in a different direction, and then will get hit with the second bomb
you laid.

Items include: Bomb, Clock

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-5
----------
For this level there are three Belly Lights, tree bomb Eaters, and two
Grey Chargers. These are all enemies I have talked about before, so you
shouldn't have too much trouble with them.

Items include: Bomb, Kick, Clock

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-6
----------
Enemies in this level are two Coins, two Grey Propellers, and four
Belly Lights. None of these should be too hard to beat.

Items include: Remote Bombs, Wall Walker

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-7
----------
This level has three Coins, two Belly Lights, and three Red Bombs. This
level should not be too hard to get through.

Items include: Golden Fire, Extra Bomberman

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6-8
----------
This is the final level of the Story Mode and is in two parts.

The first part you have to battle a Spider. He stops, throws out bombs
from his top, and then closes his eye. When the bombs have all
exploded, he will open his eye again and walk a couple of steps in a
direction and then stop again and do the same procedure. The bombs
should not be too hard to avoid, since they all kind of land in the
same areas, and you can stay down on the bottom of the screen to avoid
the bomb blasts. The time to hit him is set up a bomb so it will
explode for right when he opens his eye before he starts to move. That
way you can hit him every time. I think he takes around seven or eight
hits, but I am not completely sure of this.

For the next part of the battle you will need a Punch. After awhile a
Punch will appear on the screen if you don't have one. To hit this guy
you have to Punch your bombs at him, since he is floating in the air.
Also be careful about grabbing poisons, since they are most likely to
just mess you up. The hardest part about this battle is to avoid
getting touched by the boss and to not grab the poisons. If he runs
over your bombs, then they will explode. Just go around blowing up the
poisons, and if things get hairy, then move towards the sides of the
arena. He only takes five hits, so once you get a Punch then it
shouldn't be too hard to beat him.

Have fun watching the credits!

=======================================================================
6. Battle Mode
===============
The Battle Mode is my favorite way to play Super Bomberman by far. This
is where you can play against your friends or computer players. It is
always fun to be able to beat your friends in a competition because
then you can laugh at them. The computer usually plays the same way,
and once you get used to how the computer plays, then it is easy to
beat computer players.

Usually how I set up my battles, I add in all of my friends that will
be playing, and then any spots that are not filled (there are four),
then I will add computer players until I have four Bomberman on the
screen. I also always set the computer level to ten, since I think this
is the hardest the computer can get.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1: Normal Zone
---------------------
This place is just "normal". All of the Bombmermen start in the four
corners of the arena, forcing you to find items before you have to
engage into battle with others.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, poison, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 2: Western Zone
----------------------
This stage is like the Normal Zone, except that all of the Bombermen
start in the middle of the arena, meaning that you can sometimes get
rid of an opponent at the start. Usually computer players will lay a
bomb right at the start. If you wait a second before you lay a bomb,
sometimes you can trap one in. You should be careful about bombs as
well, since you can find the golden fire item in this stage. It is
important to no head into dead ends until you at least find a punch or
a kick. It is easy to trap others that do go into dead ends, though.

Items: bomb, fire, golden fire, kick, poison, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 3: Bomb Zone
-------------------
What is unique about this zone is the fact that bombs rain down from
the top of the screen. These bombs only have a blast area of one,
though. Still sometimes they will trap you or they will land on you and
mess up what you were doing. Be careful about going into dead ends
where you can be blocked off by one square to avoid getting blown up by
the bombs that fall from the sky. At least do this until you have a
punch or a kick.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, poison, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 4: Jump Zone
-------------------
In this zone there are springboards all around. These can be helpful,
but they also can be very harmful. I usually don't use a springboard
unless I have to. The biggest problem about them is that you do not
know where you are going to come down. They can be useful since they
get you off of the screen for a second, meaning you cannot be hit with
bomb blasts.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, poison, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 5: Belt Zone
-------------------
Around the arena, there are four belts that will move bombs and
Bombermen along them. Now this can be useful to have your bombs move on
the belt, but I tend to find it rather annoying to be trying to do
something while having the belt move my bombs. Other then the belts,
there is nothing abnormal about this place.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, poison, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 6: Tunnel Zone
---------------------
There is a configuration of tunnels in this zone. While in the tunnel
you cannot see bombs or yourself, which means going into a tunnel can
sometimes mean your death because of the fact that you cannot see if
other Bombermen have laid bombs in them. Also what is very annoying
about this stage is the absence of the punch item.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, poison, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 7: Duel Zone
-------------------
In this place, you will not find items in the blocks like you normally
would. Instead they are around the outside of the arena. All of the
Bombermen start in the center and the blocks are arranged the same way
every time. The key to this stage is to be able to break out from the
center first, and then go around the outside rim to grab all of the
items. Usually if the first break is on the top or the bottom, I will
grab one roller skate then turn around and go around the area, letting
you grab two roller skates and giving you the fastest speed to go
around. It is also wise to use the kind of strategy like in the Western
Zone and try to eliminate one of the Bombermen at the start.

Items: bomb, golden fire, kick, poison, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 8: Flower Zone
---------------------
In this zone you are forced to battle against the trackers, and the
flowers that grow back. If a Bomberman on a tracker takes your bomb
away, you can just lay another one, even if you have not picked up any
bomb items, since the bomb is not on the playing field anymore. Also
you have to be careful in this zone, since you and others can get the
Remote Bombs item, which can be very deadly if used correctly.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, poison, punch, remote bombs, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 9: Light Zone
--------------------
This zone can be annoying since the whole playing field is dark except
for two searchlights moving around the screen. It actually would most
likely be easier to battle here without the searchlights since I find
them as a distraction. Look for the little flame on the end of bombs so
you can see where bombs are in the dark. Also there seem to be a lot of
poisons in this zone for some reason.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, poison, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 10: Power Zone
---------------------
This is one of my favorite places. It eliminates searching for items
and all Bombermen are at full power with a punch, kick, full bomb and
fire items and walk at maximum speed. There are basically two ways to
battle in this zone that are effective. One way is to just overpower
your opponents, laying as many bombs as you can and walking past them.
The other way is to use the timing on bombs to trap your enemies in.
This place can be full of strategy, since everyone starts with a punch
and a kick.

Items: n/a

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 11: Warp Zone
--------------------
What is special about this place is that there are five warps in it.
You can go down one hole, and then you will appear up another one. The
only problem is that you don't know which one you are going to come up,
and just like in the Jump Zone, I don't like unpredictability and tend
to not use the warps unless I have to. Sometimes it is wise to just
keep laying bombs that will blast over a warp, since then a Bomberman
that comes up it will receive death.

Items: bomb, fire, golden fire, kick, punch, roller skate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 12: Speed Zone
---------------------
Here is the last stage. In this zone all Bomberman walk faster then the
normal two roller skate speed. It is like the speed poison, which is
very fast. Once you get used to walking at a high speed, it is actually
quite useful to get out of bad situations. The hardest part of this
zone is it is the second zone to feature Remote Bombs in it, which can
be deadly if used correctly.

Items: bomb, fire, kick, punch, remote bombs, roller skate

=======================================================================
7. Item List
=============
There are many items to be got in Bomberman. I hopefully can tell you
about all of them in this game. This list will be in alphabetical order
by what I call the item (I do not know the official names).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bomb
-----
This lets you lay one extra bomb on the screen at a time. I think you
can have a maximum of eight bombs on the screen at one time, but you
would have to collect seven of these to be able to do that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bomb Walker
------------
This will let you walk through bombs. When you grab it, if you already
have a kick, then you will loose kick and have this ability instead.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Clock
------
This will give your Bomberman full time again in the story mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra Bomberman
----------------
This will give you an extra life in the story mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire
-----
A fire or flame as I sometimes call them adds to the blast of your
bombs. With each one of these picked up, it will add one extra square
to your blast.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Food
-----
Every once in awhile a food item will appear on the screen in the Story
Mode. Food only gives you points, which can add up to getting an extra
Bomberman.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heart
------
Sometimes in the Story Mode there will be a heart that appears on the
screen or it already on the screen. This does nothing for you accept
gives you points (which can be useful since points will give you extra
Bombermen).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Invincible Vest
----------------
An invincible vest allows your Bomberman to be invincible of a limited
time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kick
-----
The kick item is a useful one. With this, you can kick a bomb, which
will cause it to travel in a straight path, until it hits something or
until you hit the "X" or "R" button. When you grab this item, if you
have the bomb walker ability, then you will loose that ability and have
this one instead.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poison
-------
There are many different types of poisons, and you cannot tell what
kind of poison it is just by looking at the item. I suggest you master
all of the different poisons before attempting to use strategy by
grabbing poisons. Also keep in mind how many bombs you can lay, since
the automatic lay bombs can be a terrible poison to have if you can lay
eight bombs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Punch
------
This is one of my favorite items (next to remote bombs). It will allow
you to get out of situations when two or more bombs trap you. What you
do is hit "Y" and your Bomberman will punch the bomb over three spaces.
Also if a bomb that you punched lands on another Bomberman it will
stall him for a second.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Remote Bomb
------------
This is a very good item to have. With it, you can choose when your
bomb will explode. Just hit the "B" button when you are ready for your
bomb to explode. It goes in order of when you laid the bombs. The first
bomb you lay when you have several on the screen will explode first. To
make other bombs explode, just hit "B" for the next one, etc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Roller Skate
-------------
This will let your Bomberman walk faster. The most of these you pick
up, the faster your Bomberman will walk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wall Walker
------------
This item allows you to walk through the blocks that you could normally
explode with a bomb blast.

=======================================================================
8. Codes and Secrets
=====================
There are only two codes I know for this game. They are shown below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shrunken Bomberman
-------------------
On the code screen enter the code "5656". All of the Bomberman will be
really small.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound Test
-----------
If you have a multitap for the SNES, plug in a controller to the player
5 spot. When the title screen with the options appears hit R (on top)
on that controller and a sound test option will appear.

=======================================================================
9. Conclusion and Credits
==========================
Finally this FAQs/Walkthrough is complete. It is the first FAQs that I
have written for GameFAQs.com and I hope it will not be my last.

If you have any suggestions or if you would just like to give some
feedback, please send me an email or go to my web site to find other
ways to contact me. I do post on the GameFAQs message boards under the
name "XiMagus" so you could also talk to me there.

I would like to thank a friend of mine that has helped me on playing
through half of the story mode. I believe he posts on the GameFAQs
message boards under the handle BurntToast.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my FAQs!
