So you’re a Stadia pro subscriber and you notice the flashy headline of “64 player battle royale” in regards to Super Bomberman R Online and since you’re deprived of your precious Call of Duty and Fortnite on Stadia, your instincts tell you to take the plunge, the only problem is, you’re bad at this game, and I’m not talking a little bad I’m talking you placed 64/64 in your first game and unironically earned an achievement from it.
You need help, and it’s your lucky day because we’re here to give it.
As you’ve already figured out Super Bomberman R Online is a 64 player battle royale. With limited game modes on launch, the only game available to you with public matchmaking is quick play, which is the 64 player mode. There are different game modes and options if you create a private match but you can’t see lobbies without a room pin which is visible to the host of the match.
Calm down champ they all have their strengths and weaknesses. There isn’t a definite character that trumps all the others, you’ll find subjective opinions about certain ones people favor however, but we’ll let you experiment with which one suits your playstyle. The top 8 are basic characters with no special abilities but all have pretty high maximums when it comes to upgrades. Every other character has a unique ability and rather low maximums to accommodate the extra advantage.
Throughout the match you’ll find 3 seperate icons (shown below) that allow you to raise your 3 base stats. Keep in mind that you can’t raise them above your characters maximum as indicated when choosing the character. Also a good indicator that you’ve reached the maximum during a match is when the number turns orange on the bottom of the screen next to each stat.
Stat boost | Description |
---|---|
![]() |
+1 to your bomb carry skill |
![]() |
+1 to your movement skill |
![]() |
+1 to your explosion range skill |
Once again, calm down! We’ll figure this out cowboy, just sit down and grab some popcorn.
Okay so there’s 5 powerups available, which are:
Powerup | Description |

![]() |

Every character besides the original 8 has a special ability that you can activate by pressing A. Keep in mind that it has a short cooldown.
