The game contains a fully realized multiplayer battle mode between linked [[File:Bomberman_Tournament.jpg|thumb|Box Art]]Game Boy Advances.

− | On the edge of the galaxy sits a small planet, Phantarion. From the cutscene at the beginning of the game, it is given that five meteors (the five [[Dastardly Bombers]]) hit the planet. Shortly thereafter, a large fortress was erected, and in turn the land around the tall, tower-like fortress and the fortress itself began to freeze over. The people of Phantarion sent out a distress call, and Professor Ein sent [[Max|Bomberman Max]] to investigate. Upon arriving on the planet, Max makes his way to the base of the tower. Once inside, he is confronted by a huge bird creature (later found to be Plasma Bomber in his transformed state). He is knocked out by the bird by one fell blow, and is either sent to [[File:Story_1.png|thumb|The Dastardly Bombers return]]the top of the tower or down a hole (the exact cannot be determined, Max is only shown being pulled into a dark, foreboding circle in the center of the screen). When Doctor Ein talks to Bomberman a week later, Bomberman tells him that they have lost all contact with Max. Bomberman is then sent by Ein to save Phantarion and find Max, thus beginning the playable portion of the story. |

Randomly selected from a pool of 10 different items, these tiles have a number of effects, such as [[File:Magnet's_Base_2.png|thumb|Gameplay]]increasing bombs' blast radius, increasing the player's bomb capacity, or even reversing a player's controls. |

When Max enters the tower he is confronted by the beast Plasma Rock. Max is easily defeated and becomes captured. Having lost all communication with him, Ein sends for White Bomber to find out the answers.[1]

or by artificially creating them. From time to time, NPCs will challenge the player to Karabon battles, which are one-on-one, turn-based fights. The outcome of a match is determined before it ever begins, as the player's Karabon's prevailing stats and pre-set attack strategies determine the course of the fight.
