Play mechanics:
Bomberman 64's one-player mode is a kind of puzzle game in which defeating enemies and blowing up things reveals the way to the goal. Special Bomberman parts can be found and saved to a Controller Pak in the one-player mode. These parts can be used to customize the appearance of your Bomberman in the multi-player modes. Bomberman 64's multi-player games are all-out battles for 1-4 players (see descriptions below).
