Ah yes, special abilities endowed characters is in fact teh awesome. I believe Super Bomberm 4 (which featured the game's bosses) was the first to have those.
And yeah Sora, that's pretty much it. The stages weren't particularly original (but no bad either) and the alternative modes were not as good as Generation, with the possible exception of the knock out battle in which you don't die unless an explosion throws you off the area (a la Smash Bros)

Also of note would be Neo Bomberman's battle mode that (being an arcade game) was kind of a trounament with increasing difficulty. Very cool, even if played alone.

There's always much hype about Saturn Bomberman, especially the battle mode. Naturally I have not played it, like most of us, but from what I heard it sounds like your average post SBMan3 battle mode (pets and bombing from the sides after death) with the max number of players being 10 but without any other special features like character specific abilities.
Though it does have a couple of cool exclusive power ups...
