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.

=======================================================================
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!
