I used to own Bomberman for the SNES, my wife and I loved to play the normal game with two players. *Then Bomberman II came out and disappointedly, the normal game mode was only for one player and one only! *Battle modes are great though!
So anyway, we traded up to Playstation long ago and I'd like to get either Bomberman Party or Bomberman World for a bit of nostalgia. *I'd like someone to tell me simply if either game (or both) allow two players in the normal ("single"?) player mode, or we are relegated to only being allowed to play together in the battle mode?

With a multi tap you can play with up to five players in the regular mode for Bomberman Party. There are 2 modes and over 50 stages for BP. For Bomberman World I'm not too sure whether there is a two-player normal mode. Here's a review of the game from our great API staff. I hope that this bit of info helps you decide what game that you'd like to get. Well, hope that you enjoy posting and have fun gaming.
