World 2-14: Super Bomberman 2

I didn't even know there was a second Super Bomberman game, but as it turns out there are five of them.

I loved Super Bomberman 2 because it was quick, had cute graphics, and also had catchy music. There wasn't much expansion from the original Super Bomberman game - in fact I don't think there was a single new power up - but they did alter the graphics of the power ups and added a few new level themes too. Once again, to fight the final boss you must throw bombs at him. The idea that you need a specific power up to kill the end boss is kind of silly, but at least in Super Bomberman 2 it was a lot easier to execute.

By the time I fought the final boss, I had collected a bunch of hearts (which allow you to withstand one extra hit without dying), and I guess they stacked up because I was able to stand in one spot and spam the lay bomb/throw bomb button for about 10 seconds until the final boss was dead.

Overall, Super Bomberman 2 is a pretty fun game, taking only about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, to complete. It also has awesome replay value; I can see myself coming back to this game many more times in the future.
