The touch of an enemy, and being caught in an explosion are both lethal to Bomberman (but he can withstand explosions if he collects the Flamepass power-up). Power-ups can be collected to increase both the number of bombs he can drop, and the range of the explosions. Bomberman begins the game with ability to produce one bomb at a time with an explosion range of one square. In addition to this, every floor contains one power-up that can increase Bomberman's abilities, as well as his chances for survival. In order to do this, you must accomplish two things on each floor: You must kill every enemy, and you must reveal the exit which can only be used once every enemy is defeated. You control Bomberman throughout his efforts to climb the 50 floors of the underground plant and reach the surface in order to become human.
