Bomberman World[note 1] is a maze action video game developed and published by Hudson Soft for the PlayStation.

Millions of years later, Bagular, appearing from another point in the time-space continuum, destroyed the Blue Crystal, thus freeing the villains.

[1] To complete the areas, the player must control Bomberman and set bombs to destroy enemies and obstacles that will lead to the exit.

Sudden Death happens once a certain amount of time has passed, and the map starts to fall apart rapidly, killing any player who is standing on a space that disappears.

This mode allows the player to play a special level with a predetermined amount of time to complete (only options are two-minutes and five-minutes), as well picking a selection of items to start with.

The object of the Special Mode is to rack up as many points as possible, done best by defeating numerous enemies within the same blast of a bomb, and picking up letters.

[2] Both Dengeki PlayStation reviewers found the multiplayer mode exciting, but noted that the viewpoint made it difficult to judge distances and led to repeated mistakes, particularly in boss battles.

[16] GamePro's Francis Mao praised the game's responsive controls, soundscapes, and crisp graphics, but felt that the angled perspective was not as effective as the direct camera view and that some backgrounds were too detailed to follow the on-screen action.
