Super Bomberman 3 (スーパーボンバーマン3, Sūpā Bonbāman 3) is an action game developed and published by Hudson Soft for the Super Nintendo and released in 1995. It is the third game in the Super Bomberman series.

Story[]

After their defeat in the previous game, the Five Dastardly Bombers ended up on Earth in a heap of wreckage. A UFO appears and retrieves their remains. The alien, known as Professor Bagura, creator of the Dastardly Bombers, revives the villains and sends them to five planets of the Bomber Nebula. Each bomber steals and dismantles the Mother Computer Chip on each planet and scatters the pieces across the land, powering down the network. It is up to White Bomberman and Black Bomberman to save the planets and stop Bagura's plans of space conquest.

Characters[]

  • White Bomberman – The hero of the series.
  • Black Bomberman – Returning after being absent from Super 2 (Story Mode), Black is controlled by the second player.
  • LouiesEggs can be found that hatch into these kangaroo-like creatures upon contact, each with different special abilities and different colors:
    • The green Louie can run from one end of the arena to the other until blocked.
    • The blue Louie has the ability to kick a bomb in an arc a distance away, much like the Boxing Glove.
    • The brown Louie can lay the maximum number of bombs in a line in the direction faced, much like the Line Bomb.
    • The pink Louie can jump over the maximum of one block of wall or even a bomb blast, if timed correctly.
    • The yellow Louie has the power to kick one Soft Block. Kicked blocks will slide until coming into contact with a player, wall, or bomb. When a Soft Block collides with another Soft Block, the moving block stops and the stationary block begins to slide.
  • Magnet Bomber – A bad bomber that seemingly has an affinity for magnets. He guards the green Mother Computer Chip on the green Swamp Attack, and is the first to be defeated.
  • Golem Bomber – Large and powerful, this bomber likes explosions and fire. He guards the red Mother Computer Chip on the fierce Firestorm.
  • Pretty Bomber – The only female of the group, and the most human of them. She guards the blue Mother Computer Chip of the oceanic Deep Sea.
  • Brain Bomber – Implied to be the team's technician and all-around genius. He guards the black Mother Computer Chip on the desert Pyramid.
  • Plasma Bomber – Suggested to be the electrical leader of the Five Dastardly Bombers. He guards the white Mother Computer Chip on the chilly Winterland.
  • Bagura – The creator of the Five Dastardly Bombers, he sits at the highest level of his Battleship, poised to destroy the planets on which the game takes place after Bomberman defeats all of his minions.

There are several secrets in the game, most of which can be accessed with passwords.

    • Access: While on the title screen, press the X button repeatedly for 6 seconds until a sound is heard. The guidebook suggests the use of a Hudson Soft Super Joy Card controller, with the speed setting for the X button set to the second (middle) position, but this is not necessary.
