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.
Multi-player
The multiplayer portion holds many improvements over Super Bomberman 4. 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 with a number of points. These points can be used to purchase the power-up items from the single-player game.
