Pocket Bomberman is a side-scrolling platform game where Bomberman takes on the challenge of collecting five Power Stones to break the seal and restore the sun. Legends say that this is only possible by defeating powerful monsters guarding these stones.
The gameplay revolves around clearing four areas in each world, killing any monsters within, by dropping bombs that explode after a few seconds. The objective is to clear these areas and then defeat a boss in the fifth area to collect its Power Stone.
As you progress through the game, be cautious of obstacles such as touching monsters, dangerous items, or your own bomb's blast, which will result in losing a life. You can find power-ups like increased jumping speed, speed boosts, and larger blast radii to aid you in your quest.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where the player, Bomberman, must ascend Evil Mountain to collect five Power Stones and break a curse on the legendary Sword of the Sun. Players will navigate various themed worlds, defeat unique monsters and bosses, and utilize bombs and wits to restore sunlight to their country.
Story
The Curse of the Sun
Long, long ago, a dark and sinister cloud shrouded the sun, spreading darkness across the land. An old legend told that a huge monster caused this, laying a curse upon the legendary "Sword of the Sun" and sealing its power.
You are the only hope for the empire. Climb the "Evil Mountain" and collect the five "Power Stones" to break the curse of the sword. Each stone is guarded by a cruel monster which you must defeat in an intensive battle. Start your quest with only your wits plus a few bombs to protect you, and bring back the sunlight to your country.

Tips & Maps
STAIRS OF BOMBS
Use bombs to build stairways that lead to higher areas. This is quite difficult and takes a lot of practice, and you have to be very quick to make it before a bomb explodes.
AIRBOMBING
With a little practice, you can place bombs in the air. Make Bomberman jump and press the A Button at the correct time to place bombs wherever you want.
BOMBCLIMBING
When you set bombs in certain locations, you can jump on them and reach higher grounds which are unreachable when you use a normal jump. Hurry up before the explosion hits you.
BLOW UP A GENERATOR
In the Jump Game, you will be confronted with generators that create monsters. You can blow up the generator with two bomb hits.
OPEN SESAME!
The Jump Game is split into different sections which are separated by a sealed door guarded by a dangerous boss. Try to blow up that huge creature with two bomb explosions to open the door.
