Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!
Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! is a crossover between Nintendo's Wario franchise and Hudson's signature Bomberman franchise. The player plays the role of Bomberman, who in turn is trying to stop the evil Wario from robbing his own world. This game helped Bomberman win back some of the attention he once had in the United States, but it was still never a popular game.
Story
One day, as Wario went out for a stroll, he came across Bomberman's world; Wario began to pillage the world for treasure in hopes of becoming rich. Only Bomberman can stop Wario's greedy, yet evil plans, and is thus the player's main goal of the game.
Game Play
The game's object is almost the same as the original Bomberman: Destroy obstacles via the use of bombs to advance on to the next level. The entire game has an eagle-eye perspective. The player maneuvers around a grid-like playing field, setting off bombs to blow up unsuspecting enemies, and destroy walls for the occasional power-up. After playing three rounds, the player with the most enemies destroyed advances. The player can choose to play as either Bomberman or Wario, but this changes game play very minimally.
