Hmmm...

To do:

  • Different world names between the Japanese and International versions.

  • There are also unused sprites for the "Master Game" suggesting that White Bomber could ride a Tirra and a minecart in that mode.

  • Rip the Title Screen themes from the US and Japanese versions.

  • Differences between the standard Japanese version, and the SegaNet version. It's also likely NetLink support was removed in Europe.



Saturn Bomberman is Bomberman's first Sega Saturn game. It introduces Mujoe (Mr.Meanie), Mechadoc (Dr.Mechado), the Hige Hige Bandits/Gang (Meanie Gang), and the adorable Tirra. The game also flexes the Saturn's 2D muscles.

Unused Graphics


Suka

A placeholder item; the text reads "スカ" (suka) which can mean "Lose" or "Nonsense". Like I said, Placeholder.


Master Game

Bomberman's Master Game sprites actually include sprites for him riding a Tirra, even though Tirras don't appear in Master Game! Maybe Tirras were supposed to be included in Master Game at one point.

Hidden Codes


Level Select


In Saturn Bomberman, there are hidden button combinations that will start you off at certain worlds at full power (10 bombs, Full Fire, Power Glove, Bomb Kick, Line Bomb). To use them, just Hold specific buttons while the title screen text reads "Press Start".

Unlock Yuna and Manto


On the first screen for "Battle Game", Hold L and R until you hear a chime. Yuna moves the fastest and Manto has the Power Glove from the start.


Regional Differences


Title Screen


The title screen was reworked between the Japanese and International versions.











Japanese International

  • The copyright date was updated to match the localized release.

  • The background was changed (It now references the boss fight against Mujoe rather than the first world).

  • The title logo was changed completely for obvious reasons.

  • The title theme was re-edited to change the voice clip from Japanese to English.

Hudson Screen

For some reason, the Hudson Soft screen and its accompanying voice clip was removed from the international versions.


Oddities And Extras


Voice Acting Trivia



  • The voice actor credits were inexplicably removed from the International versions of the game.

  • The voice clip on the title screen in the Japanese version of the game has Bomberman say his own name. In the International version of the game, he says the game's title. This may tie into the whole "Bomberman SS" thing.


General Trivia



  • The tower like object you have to destroy is called "Core Mecha" in the Japanese version and "Zarf" in the International version.

  • The North American version of Saturn Bomberman was delayed by a year (!). This is because Sega wanted the game to have online support when it was released in the U.S. (the Japanese version had LIMITED XBand support).
