'''Super Bomberman''' is the first [[video game]] in the [[Bomberman]] series to appear on the [[SNESSuper Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]]. It is also the first 4-player game that was released on the SNES.

==Gameplay==

Line 59 ⟶ 57:

==Battle Mode==

Battle Mode is played by 2 to 4 players, controlled by either humans or the computer. Because the standard [[SNESSuper Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] control deck only has 2 controller ports, if you want to play with more than 2 human players you have to use a [[multitap]] device.

The battle takes place on 1 of 12 themed stages. The aim is to blow up the other players whilst staying alive yourself. All bomb blasts are instantly fatal in Battle Mode.

Super Bomberman was originally bundle with a [[multitap]] device to allow more than 2 players to play simultaneously. The Super Multitap was long and grey with 4 [[Game controller|controller]] ports in a row on one side. It plugged into either of the controller ports on the [[SNESSuper Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] deck. This meant a total of 5 controllers could be plugged in (4 in the multitap and 1 in the second port on the SNES deck). Super Bomberman only allowed the use of the first 4 controllers to play the game, although the 5th controller would allow a sound test to be accessed by pressing the R shoulder button on the option screen.

[[Hudson Soft|Hudson]] later released a second multitap (the Super Multitap 2) on its own for people that had purchased Super Bomberman unbundled, or one of the other multitap enabled games. This second version was designed in the shape of a Bomberman's head and had the 2 controller ports on the front and 1 on either side. It was also designed to be used with future games. Eventually there were 54 (mainly sports) SNES games that utilised the multitap. [http://www.gamersgraveyard.com/repository/snes/peripherals/supermultitap.html]
