Story
Planet Bomber was a peaceful place until one day when the evil Terrorin appeared. He entered Bomber Penitentiary and released the Criminal Bombers from their cells. They agreed to help Terrorin to help conquer the universe in exchange for their freedom. When Shiro heard of this, he and Kuro set off to defeat the Criminal Bombers and stop Terrorin's evil plan.
Gameplay
Super Bomberman 5 is a non-linear game. The player must defeat all enemies on the stage to clear it and after doing so, several portals will appear. The player can chose any portal they want which will take them to a different stage and along a different route to clearing the game. If the portal that appears is golden, it leads to a new stage.If it is black, it leads to a stage previously completed. The player can use these color coded portals to work on reaching 100% completion for their file.
This game is unique in that it brings back a lot of elements from the previous four games in the series.The world map displays similar maps for the first four worlds that are identical to the ones from the first four games of the series. Each stage in one of the old worlds uses old sprites and music from said game and contains a lot of nostalgia for the die-hard bomberman fan. The fifth world has all new stages to commemorate the last game in the series.
