Bomberman Fantasy Race is a chaotic 1998 racing game for the PlayStation, developed by Graphic Research. Instead of traditional go-karts, players ride the iconic animal mounts from the Bomberman universeโsuch as the kangaroo-like Louies and the dinosaur-like Tirrasโacross various themed tracks. Combining fast-paced racing with the series’ signature bomb-tossing mechanics, the game offers a unique and competitive spin on the mascot racing genre.
How to Play
The objective is to finish first by outrunning opponents and strategically using bombs to trip them up. For this browser-based emulation, PlayStation controls are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to steer and navigate menus, Enter for Start, and Shift for Select. The face buttons are typically mapped to Z, X, A, and S to jump, dash, and throw bombs. Master the mechanics of jumping and dropping explosives at the right moment to secure a lead.
Tips
- Time your jumps: The animal mounts have distinct jumping abilities. Use this to clear obstacles, avoid explosions, and take shortcuts.
- Trap your opponents: Dropping bombs behind you when in first place is an effective way to maintain your lead, but be careful not to get caught in your own blast radius.
- Save coins: Collecting coins scattered across the tracks allows you to purchase better mounts, so grab them whenever it’s safe.
