=================================================================
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 this 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 66 characters on a line.

=================================================================
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.
