Super Bomberman R[a] is an action-maze game developed by Konami and HexaDrive and published by Konami for the Nintendo Switch. The game was first released worldwide as a launch title for the console in March 2017, before releasing for PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One in June 2018.[4] Part of the Bomberman franchise, it is the sixth installment of the Super Bomberman series and the first game in the series to be released in twenty years (following 1997's Super Bomberman 5). It is also the first Bomberman entry in the franchise to be developed for consoles following the dissolution of original series developer Hudson Soft in 2012.

The game received mixed reviews, though many of the criticisms were addressed with post-release patches. As of March 2021, the game has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. A sequel titled Super Bomberman R 2 was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S in September 2023 as part of the Bomberman franchise's 40th anniversary.
