* {{Mondegreen}}: Cyclone Bomber introducing Bassary in the PAL version: "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Vipv7wPY8&t=17m28s You should not let your guard down! Go, Bastard!]]''"

* DubNameChange: For whatever reason, PAL territories received an English translation by [[Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment Sony Computer Entertainment Europe]], with the North American localization being [[DuelingDubs separately]] picked up by Creator/{{Atlus}}. While they have some similarities, there are a couple of quirky differences, including voice acting. [[InconsistentDub Either way]], unless you saw the Japanese versions you wouldn't realize Earth, Fire and Aqua Bomber's planets were revisited from ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman 3''.
* EarthThatUsedToBeBetter: Implied. Mori Mori Star -- known in the PAL version of ''Super Bomberman 3'' as [[InconsistentDub Swamp Attack]], in this game's Atlus translation as [[InconsistentDub Planet Forest]], and ''Super Bomberman R'' as [[InconsistentDub Planet Timbertree]] -- is represented by a model of ''Earth'' here, and is apparently devoid of humans. Additionally, ''Earth'' Bomber is fought here, and he claims to crack the ''Earth''. Earlier ''Bomberman'' games took place on Earth before the setting was suddenly changed to Planet Bomber, so this could serve as a {{retcon}}ned explanation.

Prior to the events of the game, the Dark Force Bombers (Earth Bomber, Cyclone Bomber, Fire Bomber, and Aqua Bomber) were sealed in [[CrystalPrison Blue Crystals]], buried on different planets. In the present, [[BigBad Bagurā]] suddenly returns and revives the Dark Force Bombers, enhancing their powers and sending them out to conquer the four worlds. It's up to Bomberman to collect the crystal shards and stop them. The game received a [[NoExportForYou Japan only]] strategy JRPG prequel called ''VideoGame/BombermanWars'', which elaborated on the backstory.
