Saturn Bomberman (サターンボンバーマン) is a 2D puzzle video game developed and published by Hudson for the Sega Saturn console. The game allows up to 10 players to play with the use of the Sega Saturn 6 Player Multiplayer Adapter (in fact, Hudson made its own Bomberman-themed one).

It is also the only Bomberman game on the Saturn to be released outside of Japan.

Normal Game is the story mode for Saturn Bomberman that supports up to 2 players. Players take control of White and Black Bomberman and must play through a series of levels based around different time periods.

The main antagonists are the Hige Hige bandits, who have gone on to be featured in other Bomberman titles and animated series including Bomberman Generation, Bomberman Jetters and more.

Battle Game

Battle Game serves as the multiplayer mode that goes up to 10 players through the use of two 6 Player Adaptors. You can also set up a series mode that allows specifications such as how many players playing, which stages are played and the rule set. In the US and Japanese versions of the game, players can make use of the Sega NetLink modem and link up one other system with up to 2 players per console for up to 4 player multiplayer online.
