Bomberman Party Edition is a fun party game that brings together friends and family for a night of explosive fun.
The objective of the game is to clear your opponent's territory by creating chain reactions with bombs. The first player to make their territory empty wins, but beware - if you're hit by one of your opponent's bombs, it's game over!
The gameplay involves taking turns dropping bombs and trying to outmaneuver your opponents. The twist is that each character has a unique bomb type, so you'll need to use strategy and quick thinking to stay ahead.

In addition to the Exit, the soft blocks on each stage also have a powerup item hidden in one of them. Be sure to find it before going on to the next stage!

This is a more advanced version of the "Factory" stage. The direction the conveyor belts move in can be changed by running over the blue sweeds.
BLOCK WORLD
This is a more advanced version of the "One-Way Street" stage. It has revolving markers that can change the direction of moving bombs.
HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
This stage has two platforms, sky and clouds. Characters move around on each platform using trampolines.
WINTER WONDERLAND
This stage contains both igloos which characters can use to hide in, and weak points in the ice that can be blown open, making it impossible to move. Any bomb set off inside an igloo automatically has its firepower increased to the maximum.
EVERY WHICH WAY
Placing a bomb inside one of the pipes sticking out of the ground will cause it to be teleported to another pipe, which detonates it immediately.
SWITCHEROO

Bombs that fall into the ocean sink. Watch out for the fish: they'll bite you if you're not careful!
