In the new battle mode, you will construct a defensive wall of your own, to slow and protect your castle from attackers who arrive. In the castle mode, up to 15 players in a party fight a single player in defense.

In addition to the eight Bomberman Brothers and five dastardly bombers, Super Bomberman R features a number of new characters based on the Konami originals, such as Dracula Bomber, Vic Viper Bomber, Goemon Bomber, and others. Super Bomberman R was developed by Konami and HexaDrive, with several individuals involved with the game being former employees from the Original Series property Hudson Soft, who had worked on previous Bomberman titles.
