Super Bomberman 4

The goal of each stage is to destroy all enemies. Once all enemies, an exit warp will appear to take you to the stage. Every 7th stage is a fight against a member of the Bomber Shittenou, and every 8th stage is a boss battle. Defeating the boss will allow you to progress to the next world.

You are given a variable amount of time to complete each stage; if the timer runs out, it's the same as losing a life.
Alongside the usual items hidden in soft blocks, there are eggs. Collecting an egg will grant Bomberman a creature to ride on. See the eggs section for details.
You can also play the Normal Game in 2-player co-operative mode; White and Black Bomber must work together to complete each stage. Just watch those bombs!

After completing a stage or getting a game over, you can revisit stages and areas you have completed. Completing or dying on a revisited stage will return you to the map screen.

There are 5 stages with 8 stages in each (except Stage 5, which has 5 areas). There are 37 areas in total.

Collecting an egg will spawn a creature for the player to ride on. Each creature has a unique trait or special ability that can be used with the Y Button. The creature also serves as an extra hit-point; if the creature is defeated, the player will still be alive and gain a short period of temporary invincibility.

Eggs come in organic and mechanical flavours. If you are riding a creature, you can tow up to two eggs of the same type behind you. If your current creature dies, you will automatically hop on one of your spare eggs. The towed eggs are invincible to enemy collisions, but can still be destroyed by bomb blasts.
In Normal Game, eggs only spawn from specific enemies when defeated (see the World pages under Normal Game). In Battle Game, eggs can be found in soft blocks like any other item.
