Gameplay

As in other Bomberman games, the player drops bombs in attempt to eliminate other characters by having them be caught in the blast radius. There are also power-ups that give additional abilities, such as being able to pick up and throw bombs off-screen, or increases in character speed or bomb size.[4]

The game has 10 stages to select from, each with unique features. The game also features a mode called Bomberman For Beginners where a player may learn the basic movements and strategies, and then later the more advanced along with combat.[5]

Multiplayer was available both locally and over the internet with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection but online multiplayer and online leaderboards are no longer usable because Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection services were shut down in May 2014. Eight players can play simultaneously locally, while only four could online. Like all Nintendo DS games, a Friend Code needed to be exchanged between two players if players wanted to play with other specific players.[6]
