Battle Game

The Battle Game, also known as Battle Mode, VS. Mode, or Battle Stage, is a recurring gameplay element in the Bomberman series.
==Description==
It is usually the mode used in multiplayer, where the player can compete with other players, either human or computer. It was first introduced in Bomber Boy (GB) as VS. Mode for 2 players, then it became Battle with up to 5 players in Bomberman (PCE), and since then, it has been pretty much present in most of the Bomberman games. The main objective is to be the last player standing to win the round (though some game variants may change the victory conditions).
==Rule & Option Settings==
These are the options that you can change before the battles start. Below are listed the most recurring options in the Battle Games.
*COM Level: Determine the difficulty of CPU players. In some games, you can set each CPU player level individually.
*Matches: Determine how much games that the player needs to win the match.
*Time: Determine how long each round will last, usually in multiple of 1 minute.
*Sudden Death: If this option is ON, when the timer reaches a certain point, Pressure Blocks will start raining in until there is nothing left to be filled. If this option is OFF, either the game will left the center open, or there's be no Pressure Block at all.
*Team: Whether or not you want to set a team game (this requires at least 3 players or more, with the exception for Bomberman (DS)).
*Position: Determine where each players starting position is. Fixed means that each players will start at their exact position each round. Random means that each players position may swapped with other player position in each round.
*Bonus Game: If this option is ON, the player who won the match will have a chance to win Items for the next match.
*Revenge Bombers: If this option is ON, defeated players will appear on the edges of the battle map and throw bombs at the other remaining players.
*Handicap: Allow to select which items the players will have before the battle.
*Skull: If this is option is ON, Skulls will spawn from Soft Blocks during the matches. In some games, this option is merged into the Item Settings instead.
There are also some other options that existed only in a few games.
*Slots: If this option is ON, a Slot Machine will appear at the start of each round, setting a starting Item for each players (first introduced in Bomberman Land 2).
