It sounds like you’re referring to a specific version of Bomberman Land for the Wii — likely the Japanese release, “Bomberman Land Wii” (known in Japan as Bomberman Land or Bomberman Land Wii), and specifically Rev 1 (a later revision of the disc/game data).
If you’re looking for a feature related to this version, here are some notable possibilities depending on your goal (emulation, modding, comparison, or completion): Original disc: Only sold in Japan (used marketplaces
Preservation: Many Wii dumps floating online are original JP. Rev 1 represents the final, most stable version of the game, yet most emulators (Dolphin) default to original unless manually specified. This means speedrunners, modders, and preservationists are unknowingly using the buggier build.
Speedrunning: The save corruption fix and minigame tweaks change routing. Original JP runners skip Minigame 27 entirely. Rev 1 allows it, opening a new category: "Rev 1 Any%."
Undocumented history: Rev 1 exposes how Hudson Soft, in its dying years (sold to Konami in 2012), handled post-launch quality control without patches (the Wii had no mandatory patches until late 2009). Instead of an online update, they physically reprinted discs – a costly, silent fix.
Modding potential: The IOS change in Rev 1 inspired Wii homebrew developers to create a patch for the original JP disc to mimic Rev 1 behavior, effectively creating a "Rev 1.1" fan patch that also enables GameCube controller support (something neither official version has).
The original Japanese disc (cover art: Bomberman holding a ticket, red border) is common. The Rev 1 is the outlier.
