Super Bomberman 4

The first Super Bomberman game never released outside of Japan (until almost 30 years later in Super Bomberman Collection, even localized properly too!). Time travel shenanigans ensue.

To do:

Modified ROM files from Super Bomberman Collection has been dumped. Document all of it's revisional differences.

Filler Levels#

Levels 5-7 + 5-8 are duplicates of Level 5-6, sans objects. They're presumably present to fill in the empty level slots.

Hidden Battle Stages#

Two battle stages are hidden in the game. The actual method of accessing these stages is unknown, though it's probably similar to the method used in Super Bomberman 2. Pro Action Replay (PAR) codes can also be used to select these stages.

Hudson seems to be fond of these.

Stage 11#

Feudal madness. Wood: Notoriously impervious to fire.
Use Pro Action Replay (PAR) code 7F202B:0A to access this stage.

Wow, Feudal Japan must have been a blast!
A standard stage but for the mine cart. Players run over by the mine cart will be killed. The mine cart's position and track circuit seem to be randomized.

Stage 12#

Fun in food world. A gig of pudding.
Use Pro Action Replay (PAR) code 7F202B:0B to access this stage.

Hudson word assocation - Food:Flags.
Flags will spawn next to the players. These flags can be carried. When a flag is destroyed, the respective player will be killed.

Unused Graphics#

Too powerful.
This Power Bomb icon is left over from Super Bomberman 2.

Fonty font fontily font.
Similar to the font used in Super Bomberman 1 & 2. It may be used with the debug menu text in the ROM (see below).

Unused Power-Ups#

Though the question mark power-up has been updated since Super Bomberman 2, it still isn't used.

Unused Text#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.

Text for a debug code. If a method exists for actually accessing this menu, it's currently unknown.
