Bomberman

Gameplay details

The goal of Normal Mode is to destroy all enemies and find the exit hidden beneath a random soft block.
Every tenth stage is a boss battle against a larger, stronger foe. Defeating the boss will award you with items and take you to the next world.
After every fifth stage is a Bonus stage, where Bomberman is invincible and must destroy ten Pontans within the time limit. to access a cache of items.
There are 10 areas with 10 stages in each.

Items are not automatically activated, but instead sent to Bomberman's inventory - it can be scrolled through and activated using the touchscreen. Most power-ups are active only for one stage, and some have a time limit. All active power-ups are lost upon death, though.

If time runs up, the exit will spawn a Pontan every 8 seconds. Bombing the exit at any time will also spawn a single Pontan.
If Bomberman runs out of lives, it's game over, and you can only continue from the start of the world or the last bonus stage.
