Super Bomberman 5, released by Hudson Soft in early 1997, was the final Bomberman game to grace the Super Famicom. The game was released in two variations: a standard cartridge and a gold cartridge.

[edit] Single-player

The single-player portion of Super Bomberman 5 is nonlinear, giving players a choice of which level they'd like to complete next. These phases are all based in the 4 Super Bomberman games for the SNES, in remixed musics and the same sprites of the game, and the fifth phase completely new. Depending of your path, you can accumulate 100% of completion. The story is that an evil Bomber named Emperor Terrorin with the power of Time itself, has freed various criminal Bombers from their prisons in orbit around Planet Bomber. Setting them up in a warped time and space, Shirobon, Kurobon, and their Rooey companions must travel through stages and defeat them before going up against Emperor Terrorin himself.

[edit] Multi-player

There are nine characters to choose from, and over 10 maps to play on. A create-a-character mode, which is unique to Super Bomberman 5, lets players choose their character and color and allots them a number of points. These points can be used to equip the power-up items from the single-player game.
