Super Bomberman 2 can be played by up to four players (if you have the peripheral for the SNES that allows you to do that). There is a one-player adventure game in which you control Bomberman, and try to make your way through several different levels.
In this one-player adventure, Bomberman uses bombs as his main weapon. The levels consist of many different environments such as fire levels, ones set in outer space, castle stages, and many more. In each level, Bomberman must use bombs in order to do whatever needs to be done to open the door that leads to the next and more challenging level. In some levels, you must destroy all of the enemies that are on the screen, and in others, you might have to do things such as light up all the lights, or avoid a furnace's fire in order to reach the next level.
You can find many different powerups and weapons that Bomberman can use. There are basic bombs, power bombs, and even remote controlled bombs (you get to decide when the bomb goes off). Even more, there are many powerups that make the bombs more controllable, or that can help Bomberman out tremendously. There are roller skates for extra speed, fire icons for larger bomb blasts, gloves for picking up and throwing bombs, kick, which allows Bomberman to kick the bombs across the screen, and more.
Bomberman will need to find as many bombs and powerups as he can, because at the end of each world, there is a challenging boss that is waiting to turn Bomberman into a dead man.
To be honest, the one-player adventure game that I just explained in Super Bomberman 2, is fun, but it is NOT the best thing about the game. What sets Super Bomberman 2 apart from most other Super Nintendo games, is its classic multiplayer mode. You can play up to four players simultaneously, which can add up to a lot of trash talking. Or, if you want, you can play by yourself against three computer-controlled players.
In this multiplayer mode of Super Bomberman 2, you and a friend or two or three, can duke it out in any of 10 different multiplayer levels. The idea is to use a bomb and blow up all of your opponents. The last person standing will be the winner. If you and your friends choose to, you can choose to play either with the time on or off. If you play with the time on, then when the timer reaches a certain time, the maze will start closing in, providing an even greater challenge.
Just like the single-player adventure game, there are weapons and powerups waiting to be found in these multiplayer stages. There are fire powerups, skates, gloves, kick icons, diseases (the skull icons) that can be good or bad, and more. Once somebody gets a win, that player will earn a trophy. The first player to earn a certain number of trophies (3 on default), will be pronounced the champion, and will then be able to have a chance to play a sort of bonus.
The 10 multiplayer levels are all a lot different from each other. There is a basic one that just has a bunch of blocks, one with transporters that will transport players to the other side of the screen, one full of mushrooms that can be jumped on, a slippery ice level, one with a conveyor belt, and more.
To make a long story full of nostalgia short, let me just put it like this. Super Bomberman 2 is one of the best multiplayer games that have ever been made, or that will ever be made, for any system. If you want a great game that you can have fun playing with your friends, brothers, etc., I definitely recommend getting Super Bomberman 2. The one-player adventure game is challenging and it's a lot of fun too. So if you get this game, you'll have yourself a good one-player game, and a GREAT 2-4 player game.
