	Okay, first off I am going to reiterate the codes that I found on
SaturnWorld.
	-Hold L + R at the "Which Mode" screen until you hear a sound to
get 2 new characters. 
	-Press XYZ at the stage select screen until a sound and then press
up or down to switch between 'Times of Day'.
	On some stages it rains, and when it rains it affects the
bomb blast size.

	However, having just set the scene, I wish to inform you that
because of the XYZ code depending on what time of day it is, THE STAGES
HAVE DIFFERENT LAYOUTS!
	That's right!  With this XYZ code there are 32 stages in
Bomberman!  Some of them are cool and some of them are hum-drum.
	I shall start to list the main differences in comparison to each
stage's 'Normal stage'.


	The stage differences are listed in this order: Normal, Night,
Sunrise, Cloudy  (Or: Blue, Starry, Peach/Orange, Gray)

Stage 1 "Path to Glory" 
	1) Normal
	2) Speed Zone: stage contains the undocumented ULTIMATE bomb icon
	3) Normal seeming without the stupid "battle" background
	4) Power Level: No soft blocks and everyone is maxed out

Stage 2 "Soccer Stadium"
	1) Normal
	2) Conveyor belt in Center
	3) Trampolines
	4) Arrows on the ground with some pointing into the Goal.

Stage 3 "Jungle Trap"
	1) Normal
	2) Warp passages on Top and Bottom, No soft blocks, heavy cover in
the middle
	3) Rains, Warp Passages, No soft blocks, Heavy cover around the
outside
	4) Normal but with Bead Bomb 

Stage 4 "Desert Twister"
	1) Normal
	2) Rains, No sand belt, Land mine icon, 3 tornados
	3) Warp Passage, different maze layout, land mines
	4) Rains, 4 small sand belts, line bombs

Stage 5 "Space Colony"
	1) Normal
	2) Teleporters, No Bead Bombs, 
	3) "Normal" There are no walking speed controls in the middle
	4) Teleporters in different locations, no speed controls

Stage 6 "Bouncing Bomber"
	1) Normal
	2) Teeter-Totters(See-saws), Floor arrows, Jelly Bombs
	3) Fewer Tramps, Floor Arrows, Merger icons
	4) Horizontal Teeter-Totters only, Jelly Bombs

Stage 7 "Ninja House"
	1) Normal
	2) Teleporters, Warp Passages, Jelly Bombs
	3) Trampolines, Jelly Bombs, Bead Bombs
	4) Floor arrows, Line Bombs

Stage 8 "Factory Floor"
	1) Normal
	2) Conveyor Belt with directional change in the middle,
teleporters, Bead Bombs
	3) Teleporters, Different Floor arrow layout
	4) Different Conveyor belt, Glove



Wide Stage "Path to Glory"  [There are no animals in the wide zones]
	1) Normal
	2) Power Zone  No soft blocks, all maxed out
	3) 4 Passages, Floor Arrows, Merger, Ultimate Flame
	4) Conveyor belts, Teleporters, Bead Bombs, P Bombs
 
	Now with all these new levels, the game, for me, has jumped at
least 1 rating point.  The fun factor alone has jumped 2 points at least.
