Normal Game

Normal Game is the story mode for Saturn Bomberman that supports up to 2 players. Players take control of White and Black Bomberman and must play through a series of levels based around different time periods.

Battle Game

Battle Game serves as the multiplayer mode that goes up to 10 players through the use of two 6 Player Adaptors. You can also set up a series mode that allows specifications such as how many players playing, which stages are played and the rule set. In the US and Japanese versions of the game, players can make use of the Sega NetLink modem and link up one other system with up to 2 players per console for up to 4 player multiplayer online.

Master Game

Master Game is similar to Normal Game that supports 1 player only. Players play as White Bomberman and go through twenty rooms. At the end of the game, players are graded based on their performance.
