Product Description

Bomberman has been the subject of many different genres, from role-playing games to racing games, but he's come back to his arcade origins in Bomberman Max Champion Blue. Now a malfunctioning robot planet called Future Star is sending out high-power energy rays that are turning the cute little Charabom creatures on neighboring planets into machines. Seeing this from his faraway interstellar research outpost, Dr. Ein has dispatched Bomberman and Max to rescue the Charaboms. To do this, you will explore the planets, each with its own culture and history, collect Charaboms, and bomb any obstacles or enemies in your way. But if you get killed by an enemy or your own blast, you'll go right back to the beginning of the level.

There are two versions of this game, the other being Bomberman Max Challenger Red. They are identical in their stories and missions, but the two games star different lead characters--in this version you're Bomberman--and have 20 extras that are unique to each game. Use any TV or VCR remote on the Color Game Boy's infrared port to unlock surprises. Also, you'll be able to use the separately sold link cable to battle with your friends and exchange the Charaboms you collect.
