Bomberman Online (not to be confused with Online Bomberman) is a multiplayer game for the Dreamcast. It adds new ideas to the original formula with online play, new playing fields, and other extras. Bomberman Online's servers were shut down in 2003. Unfortunately the game does not allow "direct dial" play unlike its cousin (Saturn Bomberman), which means multiplayer is now restricted to offline only.

Storyline

Bomberman enters the Bomblympics to retain his title as the hero of Planet Bomber. The Bomblympics pits its combatants in a series of trials against one another. There seem to be six contestants this year in the Bomlympics, with Bomberman being one of them. The contestants must make it inside each of the other contestant's designated bases to set up their trials. Each contestant must run through the trials, and make it to the contestants throne room, where in a duel they must defeat one another. The opposing contestants are the Electric Dragons, Red Phoenix, Princess Mariners, Iron Bulldozers and the Storm Giants. Being the current hero of Planet Bomber, Bomberman is given the chance to go first, and he makes his way through each of the other five bases of the other contestants, winning each and every time. None of the other contestants are ever even given a chance to compete because of Bomberman's skill. In the end, Bomberman wins the Bomblympics and retains his championship title of the hero of Planet Bomber.
