Super Bomberman/Power-ups

Power-ups appear as you destroy Soft Blocks (destructible walls), enemies or opponent Bombermen.

During Normal Mode, the effects of all items except firepower (range of explosions after a bomb detonates) and number of bombs will be lost when you lose a Bomberman stock, which are treated as extra lives. All items reward players with points towards their score, with several having specific properties.

The player receives extra Bombermen stock:

• every 5000 points up until their tally reaches 10000;
• every 10000 points up until their tally reaches 20000;
• every 20000 points up until their tally reaches 40000;
• every 40000*[2^{(multiples of 40000)}] points up until their tally reaches 40000*{2[^{(multiples of 40000)+1}]}, and so on.

The maximum amount of Bombermen stock a player can hold is nine.

During Battle Mode, the effects of all items last for only one battle, no Bombermen stock are present, and points aren't accounted for.

They also indefinitely accumulate points given by destroying enemies, until the end of each stage. The cumulative point effect is similar to how individual explosions give more points per enemy destroyed simultaneously, by [(points given by enemy)*2(nº of enemies destroyed by kicked bombs)], up to a maximum of 6400 points so long as the maximum amount of enemies destroyed by kicked bombs is five or less. It cannot exceed 1600 points otherwise.

If a bomb laid alongside the map's edges is punched while opposing the walls, it wraps towards the opposite corner. Delays the explosion timer for normal and super bombs by one second. Remote-controlled bombs do not detonate. Hits airborne bosses. If it projects a shadow over the ground, the game treats the boss as airborne, unable to be harmed by bomb explosions.
Skull	Adds 6000 points to the player's score and causes one of the following unwanted effects: Temporarily reduces speed; Radically increases speed; Lays bombs randomly; Disallows laying bombs; Makes Bomberman invisible; Keeps laying bombs at high speed; or Allows only one minimum-range bomb to be laid at a time.

Block Passer	Allows Bomberman to pass over Soft Blocks, also adding 900 points to the player's score. Very powerful for clearing the level while invulnerable.
