Super Bomberman 5 on SNES is pure chaos in the best way—you drop bombs, blow up walls, and try not to get cornered by your own explosions. The maze layouts are just tricky enough that you’ll accidentally trap yourself at least once, but that’s half the fun. Power-ups like the remote detonator or the sneaky kick-bomb add some wild twists, especially when you’re playing against friends.

What really stands out is how smooth the multiplayer feels—four players crammed on a couch, shouting when someone pulls off a last-second dodge or gets blown up by their own misplaced bomb. The single-player mode’s got some surprisingly tough stages too, especially later on when the enemies get faster and the levels more cramped. It’s one of those games where you’ll say “one more round” way too many times.

If you’ve played earlier Bomberman games, this one tightens up the mechanics while throwing in just enough new stuff to keep it fresh. And if you haven’t? You’ll pick it up in seconds, though good luck winning against someone who’s been playing since the ‘90s.
