StoryEdit

Bomberman's "ancestor", Indy Bomber, has been combing a vast jungle in search of the Ring of Wishes. He discovers a ruins with the jungle and as he is reading a scripture, falls through a trap in the floor. Indy Bomber must find his way out of the dungeon and find the Ring of Wishes. Note that the English versions call this character Bomberman.

GameplayEdit

For the most part, the game plays like a traditional Bomberman game on a grid-like field. Before each new

area, the player can select between Mode A and B which is different for every area. The modes create different rules that must be followed in order to clear each level in the area. For example, in Area 1 if the player choses Mode A they must defeat all enemies. If the player choses Mode B then they must defeat the monsters in order, according to where the arrow is pointing.

After clearing an area, the player earns a new ability that can help them later on in the game. For example, after clearing Area 1 the player earns the ability to use the whip. They can use the whip to knock bombs away from them (similar to the Boxing Glove's ability.)

Name ConfusionEdit

There is some confusion to the name of this game because the order of the Bomberman GB series has been changed in North America. In Japan, the game Bomberman GB was released and only featured Bomberman. When it was released in the US, it was renamed Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! and included the addition of the character Wario. It is unknown why this change was made.

Now when Bomberman GB 2 was released in Japan it created a problem for North American audiences. To avoid any confusion, the game was renamed Bomberman GB in North America, since the original title had already had its name changed.

So, in a nutshell, this game is Bomberman GB in the US and Bomberman GB 2 in Japan.
