When it comes to the pantheon of multiplayer gaming, few titles carry as much weight and explosive charm as the Bomberman series. Released in 1995, Super Bomberman 3 serves as the third definitive entry in the franchise for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Developed by Hudson Soft, this title arrived at the height of the 16-bit era, offering a vibrant and refined experience that solidified the series' reputation for chaotic fun. While it is widely recognized by its international title, it is also known in Japan as スーパーボンバーマン3. Curiously, despite the success of its predecessors, this installment was only released in Japan and the PAL regions, leaving North American fans to rely on imports for years to come. It remains a high-water mark for the SNES library, combining accessible mechanics with deep tactical layers.
The narrative of Super Bomberman 3 follows the aftermath of the previous games, beginning with the resurrection of the Five Dastardly Bombers. The sinister alien villain, Bagular, retrieves the remains of these fallen foes and brings them back to life on his massive spaceship. With the villains restored, they set their sights on the Bomber Nebula, seizing control of five distinct elemental planets.
White Bomber and Black Bomber must once again team up to thwart Bagular’s plans. The journey takes players across a variety of themed worlds, including the lush forests of Morimari Star, the scorching sands of Atsuatsu Star, and the frigid landscapes of Bukubuku Star. Each planet offers a unique aesthetic and specific hazards, culminating in a showdown with one of the resurrected Dastardly Bombers and their massive mechanical contraptions. The story provides a lighthearted but effective framework for the explosive action that follows.
The core gameplay of Super Bomberman 3 remains true to the series' roots while introducing significant enhancements. Players navigate grid-based maps, placing bombs to destroy obstacles and clear a path to enemies. The primary loop involves collecting power-ups to increase the number of bombs, the length of explosions, and the ability to kick or throw bombs across the screen.
One of the most notable additions in this entry is the introduction of "Louies." These kangaroo-like creatures are found inside eggs and serve as mounts for the player. Each color of Louie possesses a unique ability, such as jumping over walls, kicking bombs, or dashing at high speeds. This added a layer of strategy to both the single-player campaign and the legendary Battle Mode. The Battle Mode itself was expanded to support up to five players simultaneously using a Multitap accessory, making it one of the premier party games of its generation. The balance of power-ups and the variety of stage hazards in Battle Mode ensured that no two matches felt exactly the same.
This game was released on several platforms, including the Super Famicom in Japan and the Super Nintendo in Europe and Australia.
Super Bomberman 3 is often cited as one of the best entries in the franchise due to its perfect balance of classic mechanics and new features. Its exclusion from the North American market created a legendary status among collectors and import enthusiasts. The game’s colorful sprite work and catchy soundtrack are considered some of the finest examples of Hudson Soft’s technical prowess on the SNES hardware.
Historically, it bridged the gap between the simpler early entries and the more complex later titles on 32-bit systems. The introduction of Louies and the refinement of the five-player Battle Mode set a standard for local multiplayer that few games could match at the time. Today, it is frequently revisited by retro gaming communities and is a staple in competitive Bomberman tournaments worldwide.
