Saturn Bomberman Fight!! (サターンボンバーマン ファイト！！) is an entry in the Bomberman series of games, released exclusively for the Sega Saturn in Japan.

Despite its name it is not a direct sequel to Saturn Bomberman, though like most other Bomberman games, the gameplay is very similar. Saturn Bomberman Fight!! is unusual in that the game is played in an isometric perspective, with a stronger focus on the standard Bomberman battle mode. Characters can now jump over obstacles and throw bombs without the need for powerups, and each character has health meter which is subtracted from whenever they are hit. It also features more voice acting than in previous titles, which may explain why the game never made it to the western world.

Characters

Items

Items are found in soft blocks. Items are indestructible - bombing them will just bounce them around. Bludgeoning an enemy with a bomb by some means (kicking it, throwing it, etc) will knock one item out of them, including expired Mystery Panels.

Fire Up (ファイヤーアップ)
Extends blast radius by 1 tile.
Bomb Up (ボムアップ)
Increases bomb stock by 1.
White Horse (ホワイトホース)
A goofy-looking steed players can ride. It increases movement speed and bomb-throwing strength, and can erase bombs on the battlefield by walking into them. However, the White Horse cannot double-jump. If hit by a bomb or explosion, the player will be knocked off but take no damage (they remain temporarily invincible until they land), and the White Horse will scamper to another part of the map and sit still, where it can be rode again. You cannot dismount the White Horse any other way. There is only one White Horse per map, found in a random soft block. When the match enters Sudden Death, the White Horse will disappear.
Mystery Panel (? パネル)
Afflicts whoever collects it with a random power-up or ailment. Positive afflictions are marked with light-blue icons; negative ones have dark-blue icons. Except for the Super Deca-Bomb, the item's effect will expire after 15 seconds, but can be removed by riding the White Horse or replaced by picking up another Mystery Panel. Afflictions include:
  • Super Deca-Bomb (超デカ爆): Immediately awards you a powered-up bomb, with a blast radius larger than the vanilla Deca-Bomb.
  • Line Bomb (連爆): When you lay a bomb, all your bombs will be laid forward in a line. Can be ideal for stunning opponents.
  • Tower Bomb (縦連爆): When you lay a bomb, all your bombs will be laid on top of each other in a stack. Can be ideal for kicking at foes.
  • Max Flame (火力MAX): Increases bomb blast radius to 8 tiles.
  • Swift (駿足): Increases movement speed to maximum.
  • Hasty (せっかち): Decreases bomb detonation time to 0.5 seconds.
  • No Jumping (ジャンプ不能): Removes the ability to jump.
  • Geta (ゲタ): Decreases movement speed to the slowest possible.
  • Little Flame (チョビ火): Shortens bomb blast radius to 2 tiles.
  • Reverse (リバース): Reverses movement controls.
