----------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Normal Mode Areas
-------------------------
Jammin' Jungle This overgrown forest region controls
the air quality of the Bomber Planet.
And that air is thick with enemies.
Vexin' Volcano This area is full of red-hot action and
rocky foes. Hop onto a cart for a wild
ride that destroys enemies and blocks
sitting on the tracks. Debris rains
down on you from the volcano. Be
careful, because this debris can set
off your bombs.
Slammin' Sea Beware as you venture into the southern
ocean-the fish are biting! Submarines
lurk beneath the silty sea floor,
ready to ambush you.
Crankin' Castle Bats and other nasty creatures lurk in
the musty dungeons. You can roll a
large barrel onto your opponents by
bombing the barrel's supports, but be
sure to stay out of the way.
Thrashin' Tundra The critters in this region move fast
to keep warm. Penguins fire missiles
at red X targets that appear on spots
around the maze. These missiles can
also detonate your bombs.
---------------------------------------------------------------
V. Battle Game Options
---------------------------
After choosing a Battle Game, you must select options from
three screens in succession.
1. Number of Players:
The top option is whether you want a single or tag match.
The bottom option is how may players you want.
2. Number of Games
The option is how many wins you want in order to finish.
3. Selecting Characters
Press left or right to select a Bomberman, and press up or
down to select whether that Bomberman will be controlled
manually (MAN) or by the Computer (COM).
Press the I button, then use the D-Pad to select the type
of Bomberman character you want to use. Press I again to
select.
Move to the characters in the upper right corner and
press button I to confirm your selections.
