The game's battle mode features eight-player, worldwide online play with rankings, and players with the retail and WiiWare versions of the game are able to compete against each other. When four Wii remotes and four GameCube controllers are used in conjunction, this game can support 8-player offline play. It also supports GameCube controllers but not Classic Controllers and supports 480p and 16:9 widescreen display modes, but does not output in Dolby Pro Logic II. The game is primarily controlled with the Wii Remote held on its side NES gamepad-style. In addition, players are also able to use their Miis during play, and the retail version features a mode called Bomberman for Beginners which teaches novice players the basics of the game. In the retail version, players are also able to purchase upgrades and power-ups by cashing in gems collected during play, such as Hearts, Fire Ups, Bomb Ups and Speed Ups. A number of items are activated by shaking the Wii Remote. The game features new items, such as a rocket that enables the player to fly, and a shield. The story mode covers 39 stages across 5 worlds, featuring 31 different unique enemies.

The plot of the story mode revolves around Bomberman saving the player's Miis by defeating five bosses who have kidnapped them. The WiiWare version of Bomberman Blast only contains the traditional battle mode, while the retail release also includes a story mode and other additional features.
