Normal Mode Areas ------------------------- Jammin' Jungle This overgrown forest region controls the air quality of the Bomber Planet. And that air is thick with enemies. Vexin' Volcano This area is full of red-hot action and rocky foes. Hop onto a cart for a wild ride that destroys enemies and blocks sitting on the tracks. Debris rains down on you from the volcano. Be careful, because this debris can set off your bombs. Slammin' Sea Beware as you venture into the southern ocean-the fish are biting! Submarines lurk beneath the silty sea floor, ready to ambush you. Crankin' Castle Bats and other nasty creatures lurk in the musty dungeons. You can roll a large barrel onto your opponents by bombing the barrel's supports, but be sure to stay out of the way. Thrashin' Tundra The critters in this region move fast to keep warm. Penguins fire missiles at red X targets that appear on spots around the maze. These missiles can also detonate your bombs. --------------------------------------------------------------- V. Battle Game Options --------------------------- After choosing a Battle Game, you must select options from three screens in succession. 1. Number of Players: The top option is whether you want a single or tag match. The bottom option is how may players you want. 2. Number of Games The option is how many wins you want in order to finish. 3. Selecting Characters Press left or right to select a Bomberman, and press up or down to select whether that Bomberman will be controlled manually (MAN) or by the Computer (COM). Press the I button, then use the D-Pad to select the type of Bomberman character you want to use. Press I again to select. Move to the characters in the upper right corner and press button I to confirm your selections. ------------------------------------------------------------ VI.
