Play Super Bomberman 3 Online

Summary

Super Bomberman 3 hit the Super Nintendo in 1995, but only in Japan and the PAL territories – North America never saw an official launch because Hudson Soft USA had shut its doors. The title broke new ground by letting up to five friends battle simultaneously, a step up from the four‑player limits of its predecessors. Each combatant is a quirky avatar representing a different country, even giving the villain Pretty Bomber a turn as France’s mascot, which was her first non‑enemy role. Visually, the game stripped back the detailed sprites of earlier entries, opting for a simpler style that echoes the PC Engine Bomberman titles, while the soundtrack mostly recycles and remixes classic Bomberman tunes. Development shifted to a largely new team, with only two staffers carrying over from Bomberman ’94, and the game resurfaced in 2026 as part of the Super Bomberman Collection. Critics were kind: Famitsu awarded a 28/40, and the title moved over 612,000 units in Japan, earning a spot as the 22nd‑best game in a 1997 Nintendo Acción ranking.

Storyline

In Super Bomberman 3, the villainous Bagular sneaks into a junkyard aboard his UFO and discovers the dormant bodies of the Five Dastardly Bombers, the foes he previously defeated in Super Bomberman 2. He drags the corpses into his ship, places them on tables, and begins a dark ritual to resurrect them under his command.

Meanwhile, the heroic White Bomber and Black Bomber learn of Bagular’s scheme and set off across a series of element‑themed stars. Each world is plagued by the newly revived Bombers, who wreak havoc while serving their creator. The duo battles through the chaos, ultimately confronting and defeating Bagular himself, restoring peace to the galaxy.
