Bomberman Online (not to be confused with Online Bomberman) is an entry in the Bomberman series of games by Hudson Soft. This one was released for the Sega Dreamcast exclusively in North America, and is notable for being one of the first versions of Bomberman to be playable on the internet.

Its cousin, Saturn Bomberman used "direct dial", which could link multiple consoles together via the internet without the need for external servers. Bomberman Online, however, lacks this feature, and therefore can no longer be played online as its servers were shut down in 2003.

Game Modes

Bomberman Online plays host of five main game modes across both Single and Multi Player modes.

Game Modes
Icon	Game Mode	Descreiption
	Survivial Rule	Bomb other opponents. The last player standing wins.
	Ring Match Rule	Use bombs to blow off players from the arena.
	Panel Paint Rule	Use bombs to turn panels on the field to your color. Most panels wins.
	Submarine Rule	Plant bombs to have them appear on your opponent's side of the stage.
	Hyper Bomber Rule	Collect three target panels and touch the center gate to win.
