Bomberman's quest to save the world begins when a dark cloud covers the sun, caused by a monster sealing the Sword of the Sun. To break the seal, Bomberman must collect five Power Stones guarded by monsters.
Pocket Bomberman is a side-scrolling platform game where you must clear four areas by killing any monsters within. To kill a monster, you drop a bomb that explodes in a four-way blast after a few seconds, killing any monsters within range. After clearing these four areas, you must clear a fifth area by killing a boss to collect its Power Stone.
Be careful, though, because if Bomberman is touched by a monster, touches a dangerous item or is caught in the blast of his own bomb, he loses a life. After all lives are gone, you get the option to restart that last area or quit. In most areas, you can find items to increase your jumping, speed, and blast radius.
