Super Bomberman 4 is the fourth addition to the Bomberman series for the Super NES.

Ending a trilogy of Super Bomberman games, the story is that Bagular's brain escaped the explosion of his flying saucer and has summoned the Four Bomber Kings and Great Bomber to get revenge on Shiro and Kuro. Shiro and Kuro are sent hurtling back in time, along with some other Bombermen, to fight through different eras and ultimately stop Bagular.

A small twist in this game is that players get to choose between bosses from the single game mode when playing battle mode. Each character has a special power from a jet pack to throwing abilities.

[edit] The Five Bomber Kings

Created by Bagular in Super Bomberman 4 on the SNES and also make an appearance in Bomberman Party Edition on the PSX, this quintet of evil doers were all also playable on Battle mode. It would appear that these are who the Crush Bombers from Bomberman Generations are based upon, as there looks, names and attacks are very similar.

  • Ghost/Great Bomber

Typically seen in black and purple with a large cape, Ghost is the leader of the Bomber Kings whose special ability is invincibility. When triggered, Ghost cannot move and after it has finished, he may only lay one bomb of the lowest power level, as well as being significantly slower for a short amount of time.

  • Bazooka Bomber

Red and white in appearance, with bionics over the right eye and a Rocket Launcher on the right arm which is connected to his backpack through several wires. Bazooka's special ability is to fire his rocket launcher which acts more like a flame thrower as there is no visible shell. In the opening sequence of Bomberman Party Edition, Bazooka Bomber's rocket launcher lets out a stream of flames suggesting that in fact that's what it is. After firing, he may only lay one bomb of the lowest power level, as well as being significantly slower for a short amount of time.

  • Jet Bomber

White and blue in appearance, with a visor on-top of his eyes and a large Jet pack strapped to his back, Jet is able to fly forward on his jetpack destroying any unlucky bomber that he may hit or who gets caught in flames from his jetpack. After the temporally one directional speed boost, he may only lay one bomb of the lowest power level, as well as being significantly slower for a short amount of time.

  • Lady Bomber

Female bomber in a primarily orange dress, eyes are shaped in a different fashion to show the gender difference between Lady and her comrades. Lady commands what would appear to look like three missiles that can be pulled together to fire a laser beam that scatters two power-ups in various angles of anyone it hits. In the Opening Sequence to Bomberman Party Edition however, she fires her missiles in a fashion of actual projectiles in a counter attack against Bomber Chen.

  • Hammer Bomber

Green in appearance, with one massive yellow eye on the left and a Spiky extendable Morning Star attached to the left arm. Special ability is to swing the Morning Star awaround several squares, anyone hit loses two items, scattered in various directions.
