Super Bomb Strike 5 is the last Super Bomb Strike game released for the Super NES, as well as one of the last games for said console. It was released in 1997 by Gamesoft.

Story
After Earth falls under attack by a mysterious force, reports reveal that the dangerous foe behind the chaos is known as "Domimon." The most powerful enemy in history puts humankind's very existence to the test by releasing the Brute Strikers from their cells, who have agreed to help Domimon to help conquer the universe in exchange for their freedom. All human hopes and dreams are at risk! Now Tommy and Barry arrive in their Blitzbombers to save the world from Domimon and his tyranny on the world. The battle for freedom begins!

Gameplay
Super Bomb Strike 5 (and its PlayStation rerelease to an extent) is a non-linear game. The player must defeat all enemies on the stage to clear it and, after doing so, several exits will appear. The player can enter any exit they choose. Each exit will take them to a different stage and along a different route to clearing the game. If the exit that appears is golden, it leads to a new stage. If it is blue, it leads to a stage previously completed. The player can use these color coded exits to work on reaching 100% completion for their file.

Domimon World
Domimon World is where the entirety of Normal Mode takes place. It is divided up into 5 areas, or "Zones"; each of the first 4 zones is themed after one of the previous Super Bomb Strike games, and each level in that zone uses that game's enemies, gimmicks, and scenery. The 5th and final zone contains all new worlds.

A boss battle with one of the Brute Strikers awaits Tommy at the end of each zone.
