Bomberman Portable

Classic Game

The goal of every stage is to defeat all enemies, then find the exit door which is hidden beneath a random soft block; you cannot exit until all enemies are defeated. Bomberman begins with only one bomb and a blast radius of one tile, and only one power-up item is hidden in each stage.

timer

You are given 3 minutes to complete each stage. If the timer reaches 0, play will continue, but all existing enemies will be removed and replaced by 10 Pontans.

Bonus Stage

After every five stages is a Bonus Level, wherein the goal is to destroy as many enemies as possible within 30 seconds. Bomberman is invincible for the duration, and enemies will continuously spawn (to a maximum of 10 at a time), encouraging reckless bomb usage. Once the timer reaches 0, the bonus stage ends and will continue to the next numbered stage.

enemy spawns

If you bomb an item, the item will be destroyed, and it will spawn multiple enemies of a single type; enough enemies to fill the population to 10 (unless there are already 10 enemies, in which case no new enemies will spawn). Bombing the exit door will get the same results, and you cannot exit the stage until all enemies are defeated. What enemy type is spawned is determined by the item in that stage.

lives

Bomberman begins with 2 lives. Lives are earned by collecting 1UPs, or every 10,000 points. Once all lives are lost, it's Game Over, though choosing to Continue results in no loss of items or progress.

saving & loading

You can choose one of 3 files to play the game on, and you can save your progress at any time on the pause menu or Setup Screen, resuming at the start of the last-played level or on the World Map. You cannot copy or delete data between files, you can only overwrite it.

Bonus Items

400: Bomb Up / Fire Up
800: Speed Up / Remote Control
1200: Bomb Pass / Wall Pass
1600: Fireman / Fire Suit
10000: 1UP

Bonus Items award huge point bonuses, but require special specifications be met before they appear, spawning in a random location. Be aware that unlike the original NES game, Bonus Items can be destroyed with a bomb and spawn enemies just like any other item!

Listed on the right are point values for standard items; these apply only to Classic Game.

Classic Mode

All stages have 50 soft blocks.
Stages come in various sizes: Stages marked (S) are 13x11, (M) are 17x11, (L) are 21x11, (XL) are 25x11, and (XXL) are 29x11.
Bombing an item or exit door will spawn enemies; the enemy type correlates to the item in that stage. The enemy/item correlation is the same as in the NES game, except for the 1UP, which spawns the [cube] enemy type.

Enemies (Classic Mode)

Each stage can contain up to 10 enemies.
If more than one enemy are bombed by an explosion, each successive enemy's score value will be increased in the following order: 100, 200, 400, 800, and then repeating with an additional 0. (for example, the 1st Minvo will award 800 points, the 2nd 1000 points, the 3rd 2000 points, the 4th 4000 points, the 5th 8000 points) The multiplier caps at 80,000.
