''Saturn Bomberman'' is a 1996 installment in the ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' franchise for the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn. Supporting the Sega Saturn Modem, it is the first ''Bomberman'' game with online multiplayer ([[OfferVoidInNebraska except in the PAL version]]), as well as the first ''Bomberman'' game released to the general public to allow as many as ten players to battle. To date, only ''VideoGame/AtomicBomberman'' has followed up on the Battle Game.

The legendary monster Crator was imprisoned in the Crystal Tower with [[CrystalPrison four crystals]], but [[BigBad Mujoe]] unsealed Crator and enslaved it with the [[MindControlDevice monster controller]]. Frantically, [[TheProfessor Dr. Ein]] sends a message requesting [[TheProtagonist White Bomberman]] and [[SupportingProtagonist Black Bomberman]] to stop Mujoe and his gang from [[TakeOverTheWorld Taking Over the World]].

''Saturn Bomberman'' follows the tried and true grid formula. In Normal Game, stages are laid out with obstacles, and destroying all of the Core Mechas (mechanisms with glowing red orbs) opens the exit. This continues for five worlds, each ending with a boss battle. In Master Game, all the enemies of the floor must be destroyed within the [[TimedMission time limit]], with a [[TimeLimitBoss timed boss]] every four floors for twenty total floors. The game also marks the first appearance of Dr. Ein and the HIGE HIGE Bandits.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: The Meanie Land Amusement Park is the first stage and the "secret" base of the gang.
* BaitAndSwitchBoss: The first boss first appears to be three EliteMooks, before a piece of the castle lifts off and smashes onto the arena, blasting the mooks away and starting the battle.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Double-tapping the bomb button in ''Bomberman 64'' or ''The Second Attack!'' does a stationary Bomb Kick. The very same action in ''Saturn Bomberman'' will Line Bomb instead, unless the player changes the control configuration.
* DragonTheirFeet: The last boss of the story mode isn't Mujoe, but his minion [[MadScientist Dr. Mechard]].
* DubNameChange: The English translation had several odd ones that only lasted for this game: Dr. Ein is known as Dr. I, Mujoe is known as Mr. Meanie, and Dr. Mechard is known as Dr. Mechado.

* GiantFlyer: The boss of Dino World.

* MindControlDevice: The Monster Controller used on Crator.
* MiniBoss: The evil tree of stage 4-3.
* OfferVoidInNebraska: Online play was available in Japan through SEGASATURN NETWORKS and in North America through [=NetLink=]. No Saturn modems were released in Europe.

** Everybody's reaction (save the Dino) to the giant bomb going into the volcano in the intro cinematic.

* PoisonMushroom: The skull in Battle Mode will inflict a random disease, either dropping your bomb power to 1, making you super slow, or have your controls inverted. The devil does this to ''everybody''.
* PowerUpMount: The dinosaurs. They come in five colors, each of them with a different ability:

** The dinos.
** The rabbit-like fluff creature that hangs around Dr. Ein and sits on Bomberman's ship.

** In battle mode, there is a Mount Rushmore pastiche with several Bomberman faces.
* SealedEvilInACan: Crator.

* {{Wutai}}: The second stage, Samurai World.
