Super Bomberman 5 is the final installment of the classic action-maze series released for the SNES, developed by Hudson Soft in 1997. It features a non-linear story mode where players navigate through branching zones with multiple possible endings. The core multiplayer remains the signature chaotic experience, dropping players into grid-based arenas to blast away blocks and trap opponents with cross-shaped explosions.
How to play
The objective is to clear enemies in story mode or outlast your opponents in multiplayer. You drop bombs to destroy soft blocks, collect power-ups to increase your blast radius and bomb count, and trap enemies in the explosions.

Tips
- Always maintain an escape route before dropping a bomb; it is easy to accidentally trap yourself in a corner.
- Watch out for skull items in multiplayer, as they inflict unpredictable curses that can reverse your controls, drop bombs uncontrollably, or slow you down.
- Riding a mount gives you an extra hit of armor, sacrificing the mount instead of your life if you get caught in a blast.
