A racing game using simulated 3D in the vein of OutRun or Rad Racer, now with a rainbow of Bombermen in the drivers' seats! Race against five opponents across three difficulties of Grand Prix, for a total of six courses. Racers can collect items from question mark panels, ranging from projectiles such as bombs, missiles and Slime Bombs, to situational items like landmines, shields and nitro boosts. There are six different colours of Bomberman and three karts to choose from, each with their own unique stats.

Alongside the Grand Prix, you can race any track alone in the Time Trial mode and aim to beat your personal beat. Records for both Grand Prix and Time Trial can be uploaded to a national server.

A basic sales pitch for the English release, with the nifty addition of desktop wallpapers! The second set is actually for Bomberman Kart on PlayStation 2, while the other depicts characters from Bomberman Kart 3D instead.

Also includes a press release, though its full version was not archived.
