It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
Template:Infobox Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! is a crossover game from the Wario series and Hudson Soft's Bomberman series that was released in 1994 and 1995 in North America and Europe, respectively. The game is based on Bomberman GB, which was released in Japan in August 1994. The Wario series theme was exclusively added to Western releases. Aside from Wario's presence, the game is mostly unchanged and plays like other Bomberman titles. The Bomberman GB released in the West is actually the Japanese Bomberman GB 2.
The player takes the role of either Wario or Bomberman and fights against up to three copies of the other character. Wario's goal is to rob Bomberland, while Bomberman's is to protect it. In every round, the player has to defeat the enemies by strategically placing bombs, while they are able to do the same.
Story
Story from the instruction booklet[1]
- WARIO INVADES THE LAND OF THE MADBOMBERS!
Wario, in his constant search for new lands to conquer and trea-
sures to gain, has found the extra-dimensional portal
that links his world with the one that Bomberman
inhabits. Thinking that the Madbombers will make a
nice addition to his legions of mindless minions (as
well as a new source of funds for his nefarious
schemes), Wario steps through the gate... and soon
finds that the Madbombers are not quite the dim-wit-
ted flunkies he originally thought them to be!
Fans of the Bomberman series will immediately recognize the famil-
iar look and feel of the game. The player can choose to be Wario
or Bomberman, as they navigate the 8 challenging levels in the
adventure mode. Each level consists of 3 rounds (best 2 out of 3
matches) and a boss. New abilities are gained as each boss is con-
querred to enhance Wario's/Bomberman's powers.
Of course, what would a Bomberman game be without a Battle
Mode? In Wario Blast, up to four players can compete on the
Super NES with the Super Game Boy and Super NES 4-player
adapter. Playing the battle mode is great fun, as it gets up to four
players in the game at once and the matches usually end up in a
chaotic every-player-for-themselves melee.
Wario Blast continues the Bomberman tradition, but with the
added presence of Wario. A challenging one player game coupled
with the fun and popular battle mode adds up to another great
Nintendo title.
Gameplay
The player can choose to play as either Wario or Bomberman, but this doesn't change any aspects of the game, minus reversing the passwords. There are eight worlds in total (called rounds in this game), including three regular levels and one boss level each.
The game shares its object with other Bomberman games. The player has to blow up between one to three opponent(s) via the use of bombs to advance, while they try to do the same to the player. The entire game has an eagle-eye perspective. The player maneuvers around a grid-like playing field, setting off bombs to blow up unsuspecting enemies, and destroy walls to clear the way and to reveal occasional power-ups. The player wins by defeating the enemy Madbombers (which take on the appearance of the character not chosen). Every level is played with a best of 3 rule. If the player wins two times he or she gains access to the next level. Failure to do so will lead to a Game Over.
When playing the game on the Super NES with a Super Game Boy, an additional multiplayer mode for up to four players is available. In this mode, multiple people are able to play against each other.
Bosses
At the end of each world, the player faces a boss. A certain strategy is required for each of them. The following list uses the names from Nintendo Power's coverage from the game in Volume 67, with the exception of Pukupuku and Gururin Knight, whose names come from the original game Bomberman GB.[2]
- World 1: Cup King
- World 2: Top Man
- World 3: T-Bear
- World 4: P-Flower
- World 5: Thunder Cloud
- World 6: Pukupuku
- World 7: Gururin Knight
- World 8: Mad-Bomber
