English translation:

The 11th planet of Bomber Nebula is in danger!! Due to a change in the planet's crust, Devil Bomber was released from his seal. Together with his subordinates, he conquered the whole planet in a rampage. Devil Bomber stole all of the Bomber Capsules, the energy source that Bomberman relies on, severely injuring him... Nevertheless, Bomberman alone musters his strength, and challenges Devil Bomber.

Story Mode

Devil Bomber steals the Bomber Capsules.

This is a traditional maze-style Bomberman game. Each stage is divided into six rounds. Each round involves one or two large, scrolling maps. As Bomberman, the player must complete the round mission to unlock the Exit and progress to the next stage. The fifth round of each area allows Bomberman to collect Crystals; if he collects enough Crystals, he can unlock a 1UP as well as two Bell Panels which summon Bomber Balls that will aid him against the stage boss. The sixth round of each area is a boss battle.

Progress in the game can be resumed using the password system. Passwords are seven numbers and characters long. Each password resumes the Story Mode at the beginning of a round within a stage.

Moto-Bombers

The Moto-Bomber select screen.

If Bomberman owns a Moto-Bomber, before each screen in each round, the Moto-Bomber select screen will appear. Here, the creator of the Moto-Bombers, Cutie Bomber, will allow Bomberman to choose which vehicle to use in the next screen. If a Moto-Bomber is destroyed, it will not be able to be used until the next round. If all Moto-Bombers have been destroyed, Kotetsu will appear to inform Bomberman that there are none left.

Challenge Mode

In the Challenge Mode, the player may select one of two stages and a 2 or 5 minute time limit. After that, one of three Bomberman types may be selected before the game begins. The player's score increases by defeating enemies and collecting items. Depending on the stage, time limit, and score, a certification result will be awarded.
