Bomberman

gameplay

This game is all about the Battle Mode, your one and only objective is to defeat all opponents and be the last man standing.
... that's it! You've got options you'd expect from your regular battle mode - setting the timer, CPU difficulty, number of rounds. The game can be played alone against CPU opponents, or with friends using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Bomber Coliseum

The closest the game has to a dedicated single-player mode. This mode pits you against several dozen CPU opponents, three at a time; when one is defeated, a new one tags in until all are defeated.
Some opponents will spawn with random power-ups already on-hand. The last opponents will be special boss characters, who will become playable upon defeat. There are currently three difficulties:
Easy: vs. 25 CPU (Bomuntosou)
Medium: vs. 50 CPU (Bomb Caveman & Count Bompire)
Hard: vs. 100 CPU (Sakoda Yukio, Star Bomber, Zombie Bomber & Bomber Cannon)
