This was kind of what I was looking for from Super Bomberman R but now replaying this, I think I had rose-tinted glasses either way.
I do enjoy the core gameplay and I feel like a god when I manage to kick a bomb and stop it just in time to trap an enemy. But at the end of the day, it's overly repetitive and brutally punishing at times.
I will die on a hill that this game was excellent in it's time. Hell, the fact i managed to beat the game and enjoyed the shit out of it as a kid is testament to that. But now less fun to play 20 years later.
I'm extremely curious about whether Bomberman can turn itself around or another studio can pick up the core gameplay loop that this has left behind because there may be something here and I think there could be a market for an innovation. Or maybe game design has just moved on and games like this have been left behind forever, who knows.

it's wario blast!!!!!! featuring bomberman!!!!!!!
Yep, this is indeed a Bomberman game.
Honestly, the novelty of Wario being here (despite this just being a reskin of a Japan only game) carries it hard. Otherwise, it's honestly nothing special. Still fun, but yeahhhhh.
Oh, the victory/game over graphics are pretty good too.

It actually is kind of fun to play. It is just a Bomberman game, but it feels competitive and is entertaining. There is progression for each of the stages and I love when you get all of the power-ups and feel overpowered. I wouldn't say my favorite Game Boy game, but definitely a contender and is one I play on occasion.
Very generic Bomberman game that has Wario in it for some reason. Very boring game with not much going on but it is part of the Wario/Bomberman series so thats cool.
Adding Wario to this Bomberman game was the right move marketing-wise, because there's so little else going on with this title.
I'm no RifeXD, so take my Bomberman opinions with a grain of salt. As a pure Bomberman game, it's fine if extremely basic. I like some of the upgrades; making a motorcycle sprite specifically as a run function is fun, and hopping over walls leads to some strategy. But it's otherwise a string of very similar and repetitive fights with little variation, punctuated by utterly miserable boss fights. The Mad-Bomber in particular is such a mean wall, only somewhat justified by its status as the final boss. A good third of my playtime went to trying to beat it.
I guess if this is your only Bomberman, it'll do, but I don't doubt you can do so much better than this.
