How it plays

How does Bomberman '93 play?

The game uses a top-down maze perspective. In the campaign, Bomberman clears each stage by destroying enemies and finding the exit, while soft blocks conceal useful items. Explosions travel along the grid until they meet a solid wall or run out of range.

Players move through corridors, place bombs, and escape before the fuses expire. Upgrades can increase bomb count, blast range, or movement options. Multiplayer matches use the same rules but focus on trapping rival bombers in a shared arena.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Bomberman '93?

At the beginning of a stage, clear nearby soft blocks while keeping at least one escape route open. Do not place a bomb in a corridor unless you can reach a safe perpendicular lane before the fuse ends.

Prioritize blast-range and bomb-count upgrades, but treat every power-up as secondary to survival. In multiplayer, use chain reactions and blocked passages to control space, and avoid following an opponent into a corridor with no visible exit.
