Super Bomberman is definitely better than Super Bomberman 2.
This is mostly because the boxing glove from 1 is more fun than the blue glove in 2. Also when they die in 2 they do the weirdest crying animation. Remember the snot kid from Wind Waker? Well imagine his snot coming out of Bomberman's little CRT eye (only one), and then dangling and swinging around just like with snot kid.
