Power-ups appear as you destroy destructible walls, enemies or opponent Bombermen.

During Normal Mode, the effects of all items except firepower and number of bombs will be lost when you lose a Bomberman stock. 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^n) points up until their tally reaches 40000*[2^(n+1)]

The maximum amount of Bombermen stock a player can hold is 9 (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.
