Super Bomberman: Panic Bomber W is one of the offsprings of the Panic Bomber Series. A tile matching puzzle game that plays like a mix between Bomberman and Puyo Puyo. Tiles fall from the top of the screen, when three are matched bombs are dropped. Occasionally one of the dropped bombs will be lit, which will explode and cause a chain reaction with any bombs already present. Game over happens when the screen is filled with blocks or bombs. It was released for the Super Famicom and was only released in Japan. It features a single player mode and a multiplayer one that supports up to four players. This game also implements a Dokuro mode which involves status effects. These can do everything from reduce blast radius to igniting bombs on screen.

As for the puzzle game flaws, there are a lot of random party game elements to it that you can inflict on your opponents that don't matter to them but matter a ton when inflicted on you, like obscuring your vision or reversing your controls, that can be a death sentence. Bombs rising up from the bottom rather than falling from the top can ruin whatever combos you're going for. These are all in the original Panic Bomber I believe, but they're still here so I'm still talking about them.
Is this one I'll be playing a lot? nah it pales in comparison to Puyo Puyo, Panel de Pon, Dr. Mario, etc. Is it one worth playing once? Yeah sure it's neat.
This is fun! Like seriously I am not a puzzle game guy at all and I had a blast playing this game it was fun and adorable. It is pretty much the same as the PC Engine gameplay wise but I think it overall plays a bit smoother with the Bombs and stuff, I find the visual effects better here.
It might as well be my favorite puzzle game now, the game is represented as a world tour is great, I loved seeing all of the art of Bomberman all over the world even though this game includes some dated stereotypes that would not be really ok by today's standards.
This game made me realize how much I loved the Bomberman design, he really feels like a cute blank template, and giving him outfits based on the different regions of the world is adorable.
I totally recommend this game to anyone who wants a fast-paced action puzzle game with satisfying gameplay!
