The player wakes up in [[Satellite]], stripped of their memory. They are found by [[Rally Dawson|Rally]] who duels them in the hopes it will help them regain their memory. Rally introduces them to his friends [[Blitz]], [[Nervin]] and [[Tank]] and takes the player to their base in the Satellite underground.

The player wakes up in [[Satellite]], stripped of their memory. They are found by [[Rally Dawson|Rally]] who Duels them in the hopes it will help them regain their memory. It barely has an effect, but Rally decides to take them in, and introduces them to his friends [[Blitz]], [[Nervin]] and [[Tank]] at their Satellite base. The player finds a "[[Speed Spells|Speed Spell]]" card in their [[Duel Disk]], causing everyone to believe that they are a [[Turbo Duel]]ist. Since [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] and [[Sector Security]] are the only Turbo Duelists in Satellite, they figure the player came from [[New Domino City|the City]].
 
 
The player finds a "[[Speed Spells|Speed Spell]]" card in their [[Duel Disk]], causing everyone to believe that they are a [[Turbo Duel]]ist. Since [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] and [[Sector Security]] are the only Turbo Duelists in Satellite, they figure the player is from [[New Domino City|the City]].
 
 
 
Since a Turbo Duelist is not complete without their [[Duel Runner]], Blitz arranges for the player to buy a Duel Runner from [[Kuroe]]. After discovering it has no engine or CPU, Blitz goes to confront Kuroe, but ends up getting kidnapped. The player then ventures to the [[Satellite thugs' lair|thugs' lair]], where they duel and defeat multiple thugs in order to free Blitz.
 
 
 
After saving Blitz, Yusei gives the player a spare engine to use in their Duel Runner, before he leaves for [[New Domino City]]. A few days later, Rally gives the player a CPU. With the Duel Runner complete the player takes it for a test run.
 
 
 
A group of securities, led by [[Tetsu Ushio|Officer Trudge]] appear outside the group's lair, accusing Rally of stealing the CPU. Since they were using the signal from Rally's [[criminal mark]] to trace their location, Blitz used Yusei's jamming device to block the signal. The group split-up; Rally, Nervin, Blitz and Tank go one way and advise the player to ride their Duel Runner to the [[Old Highway]]. The player races out past the Securities, prompting Trudge to chase them. After the player outruns Trudge, they come back to the hideout. The player is planning to escape through the [[pipeline]] just like Yusei did earlier in the game.
 
 
 
After beating a test simulation, the player gets a chance to escape to New Domino. As the player enters the pipeline, Trudge immediately follows in pursuit. After outrunning him, the player gets caught by Security and is taken to the detention center having their Duel Runner and Deck confiscated.
 
 
 
In jail, the player reaches the Recreation room where [[Bolt Tanner]] is. Tanner has just won a Duel, with his opponent lying on the floor. Tanner taunts the defeated duelist by calling his cards trash, and the player then attempts to defend the defeated duelist by dueling Tanner with his Deck (like Yusei uses Yanagi's Deck in the anime). After beating Tanner, the player notices Yusei also getting escorted to his cell, and then receives a challenge from [[Mr. Armstrong]]. So the player has to collect cards from the inmates to create a Deck and use it to beat him.
 
 
 
After beating Armstrong, Armstrong calls off the deal and orders the Securities to seize the player. However, he is interrupted when [[Rex Goodwin]] appears on the scene, firing Armstrong and eventually releasing the player into New Domino City. Tanner passes the player his [[Ushi Oni]] card, telling them to seek a bar named [[Bootleg]]. Showing the card will allow for the player to come into contact with an acquaintance.
 
  
Upon arriving at the Bootleg, the player shows the bartender Tanner's card, but the bartender requests that the player complete some of his Duel Puzzles, as he's a Duelist. After completing 3 Puzzles, the bartender tells the player to wait outside - and upon exiting the bar, they encounter [[Blister]], who escorts them to his hideout.
+
Since a Turbo Duelist is not complete without their [[Duel Runner]], Blitz arranges for the player to buy a Duel Runner from [[Kuroe]]. He quickly discovers that the Duel Runner is nonfunctional, without any engine or CPU. An angry Blitz tries confronting Kuroe but gets kidnapped by his lackeys. The player then ventures to the [[Satellite thugs' lair|thugs' lair]], where they duel and defeat multiple thugs in order to free Blitz. As thanks for rescuing his friend, Yusei helps fit the Duel Runner frame with a functional engine, and then announces his departure to the City.
  
The player informs Blister of the plan to reclaim the Duel Runner and Deck. After some time of thinking, Blister gives the player a fake Security ID and Security uniform so that the player can sneak into the Security Impound Center and get their Deck and Duel Runner back. After sneaking past the guards and getting to the Duel Runner, the player is once again cornered by Trudge. The player then gets on the Duel Runner and promptly outruns Trudge once again through the Impound Center.
+
A few days later, Rally hands the player a CPU to complete the Duel Runner, and with a fully functional Duel Runner, the player takes it for a test drive. Shortly after, though, Sector Security, led by [[Tetsu Ushio|Officer Trudge]], shows up outside the hideout, as they have traced Rally's [[criminal mark]] to their location. Trudge accuses Rally of stealing the CPU. To avoid getting arrested, the group jams Security's tracking device and splits up — Rally, Nervin, Blitz and Tank run one way while the player distracts the Security officers on their Duel Runner. They are chased to the [[Old Highway]] but manage to outrun Trudge.
  
Upon escape, the player encounters Yusei, who also has reclaimed his Duel Runner and Deck. They both make a break to whatever cover they could find. As the player escapes Trudge they are guided by [[Leo]] to a place where they could hide out for the time being. Leo introduces himself and [[Luna]], and then challenges the player to a duel. Upon winning, the player gets let in on a secret: there is an underground duel arena.
+
After a successful escape, the player reunites with the gang at the hideout, and intends to escape to the city through the [[pipeline]] just like Yusei did. After planning their route through a test simulation, the player makes a break for the city through the garbage chute. However, Trudge has been on to the player and gives chase. While the player successfully outruns him, they get caught by a Security blockade on the other side. They gain a criminal mark of their own and are brought to the detention center, their Duel Runner and Deck confiscated.
  
At the duel arena, the player and the twins witness [[Akiza Izinski|Akiza]] beat yet another duelist. While people flee from the arena, the player feels a stinging pain as they notice a birthmark appear on their arm. Akiza notices this mark and promptly challenges the player to a Duel. After the player wins, the birthmark disappears.
+
In jail, the player reaches the Recreation room to see [[Bolt Tanner]] standing triumphantly over his latest opponent. Tanner taunts the defeated duelist by calling his cards trash, and the player then attempts to defend the defeated duelist by dueling Tanner with the inmate's Deck. After beating Tanner, the player notices Yusei also getting escorted to his cell, and then receives a challenge from [[Mr. Armstrong]] to Duel for their freedom. By scrounging up cards from various cells and from various inmates, the player has a Deck to call their own to challenge Armstrong with. The player defeats Armstrong, but the warden is not willing to fulfill his part of the deal, and orders the Security officers to seize the player. However, [[Rex Goodwin]] happened to be watching the Duel, and he fires Armstrong on the spot and releases the player. Before they leave, Tanner hands the player an [[Ushi Oni]] card, telling them to seek an acquaintance at bar named [[Bootleg]].
  
Several days later, the player gets informed of a [[Tag-Team Duel]] Tournament as they make their way towards the Duel Runner Shop. They also get into a Tag Duel with the twins, with Blister as their temporary partner. After the player finds a partner, they proceeds to the Duel Stadium where they proceed through the tournament, facing [[Figaro]] and [[Corse]] (this opponent team may vary between who's chosen as the Tag partner), Blister and Tanner, and finally Leo and Luna. After winning, the player runs into Goodwin, who congratulates the player for their victory.
+
The [[Bootleg owner]] recognizes the card, and challenges the player to solve three of his five Duel Puzzles. The owner then tells the player to wait outside and meet [[Blister]], their next contact. Blister supplies the player a fake Security ID and Security uniform to let them sneak into the Impound Center and reclaim their Duel Runner and Deck. While the player recollects their belongings, they are cornered by Trudge once again, and have to outrun him by driving through and out of the Impound Center.
  
Some time later, the player runs into Tanner outside the bar and receives an invitation to the [[Fortune Cup]]. They shows this to Blister to know more about it, and is told to go to the Neo Domino Highway so as to sign up for the preliminary race. After passing the preliminary race, the player is confronted by [[Bass (World Championship)|Bass]] who then shows them how to play a [[Turbo Duel]]. After that, the player is also informed of the Speed Spells being sold at the shop.  
+
Upon escape, the player encounters Yusei, who also has reclaimed his Duel Runner and Deck, and they make a break for cover. As the player makes their escape, they are guided by [[Leo]] to a place where they could take shelter. Leo introduces himself and [[Luna]], and then challenges the player to a duel. As a reward for winning, Leo informs the player of an underground Duel arena and invites them there. There, the twins witness [[Akiza Izinski|Akiza]] beat an opponent, wreaking havoc on the surroundings in the process. While people flee from the arena, the player feels a stinging pain as they notice a birthmark appear on their arm. Akiza notices this mark and promptly challenges the player to a Duel, but the birthmark disappears after the Duel with neither party understanding more about it.
  
The player then proceeds to the Duel Stadium where they face off against Trudge, [[Hunter Pace]], and [[Greiger]] in the three Turbo Duels of the preliminaries. Following this, the player proceeds into the latter half of the Fortune Cup, facing off against [[Gill Randsborg]] and Akiza in two ground duels, and squaring off with Yusei in a Turbo Duel.
+
Several days later, the player gets informed of a [[Tag-Team Duel]] Tournament as they make their way towards the Duel Runner Shop. They also get into a Tag Duel with the twins, with Blister as their temporary partner. After the player finds a partner, they proceed to the Duel Stadium where they participate in the tournament, facing [[Figaro]] and [[Corse]] (this opponent team may vary between who's chosen as the Tag partner), Blister and Tanner, and finally Leo and Luna. After winning, the player runs into Goodwin, who congratulates the player for their victory.
  
Upon finishing the duel, the player is about to prepare for the final duel with [[Jack Atlas]], when they black out. They receive several flashbacks, and they wake up at a temple for the People of the Stars. They are then confronted by [[Rex Goodwin]]. It is revealed to the player that he was the one who grafted the birthmark onto the player's arm, as Goodwin plans to utilize the power of the Crimson Dragon. Goodwin then pits the player against 4 other clones - [[Alpha (WC)|Alpha]], [[Beta]], [[Gamma]] and [[Delta]] - and the player has to defeat all 4 of them without replenishing life points in between duels (You'll just have to do the match over again).
+
A few more days pass, and the player runs into Tanner outside the bar and receives an invitation to the [[Fortune Cup]]. Blister directs the player to Neo Domino Highway to register for the preliminary race. After passing the preliminary race, the player is confronted by [[Bass (World Championship)|Bass]] who shows them how to play a [[Turbo Duel]]. Speed Spells will also become available at the shop after this mechanic is introduced. The player enters the preliminary rounds of the Fortune Cup in the Duel Stadium, where they face off against Trudge, [[Hunter Pace]], and [[Greiger]] through Turbo Duels. The latter half of the Fortune Cup pits the player against [[Gill Randsborg]] and Akiza in ground duels, and the semifinals pits them against Yusei Fudo in a Turbo Duel.
  
Upon victory, the [[Crimson Dragon]] appears, but then shortly dissipates. Goodwin then realizes that he cannot simply do with replicas, despite the fact that intense duels will lead to the awakening of the Crimson Dragon. The player then blacks out again, and finds themselves back in their room, before the final duel with Jack Atlas. After defeating Jack, the player receives the [[Stardust Dragon]] card for Yusei. Goodwin aborts his plan to awaken the Dragon, and allows the player to do as they wish. The player then passes Yusei the Stardust Dragon card, and also receives a Travel Permit, allowing them to travel between Satellite and New Domino City.
+
As the player is preparing for the final duel against [[Jack Atlas]], they suddenly black out, go through several flashbacks, and wake up at a temple for the People of the Stars. [[Rex Goodwin]] appears before them, explaining that he grafted the birthmark onto the player's arm to make them an artificial Signer. Through repeated intense Dueling, he intends to harness the player's artificial birthmark to complete the ritual to summon the Crimson Dragon. Goodwin then pits the player against 4 other clones - [[Alpha (WC)|Alpha]], [[Beta]], [[Gamma]] and [[Delta]] - and the player has to defeat them all without replenishing life points in between Duels.
  
Post storyline, Yusei has a new Deck with "[[:/Assault Modes|/Assault Mode]]" support, the name of which references the game title, XLerator.
+
Though the ritual appears to be successful, the [[Crimson Dragon]] only briefly appears. Rex Goodwin realizes that mere replicas cannot substitute authentic Signers for the ritual. The player blacks out once again, returning to their room in time for the Duel with the King, Jack Atlas. Jack is defeated, and he hands the player the [[Stardust Dragon]] card. Goodwin aborts his plan to awaken the Dragon, and allows the player to do as they wish. The player then passes Yusei the Stardust Dragon card, and also receives a Travel Permit, allowing them to travel between Satellite and New Domino City.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator is a Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's-themed game for the Nintendo DS.

Features[edit]

The game contains a story mode, where the player may duel, browse a 3D map, interact with other characters and collect items and cards.

There are 2887 cards featured in this game (including Egyptian Gods, Speed Spell - Wheelie Breaker and Speed World), going up to Crimson Crisis also includes cards from the first 4 Duel Terminals and cards from Structure Decks up to SD16, but excludes any TCG exclusive cards up to that date that are not already included in Extra Pack 01. The game also includes many promo cards, such as "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode", "Shield Wing", "Elemental Hero Absolute Zero" and "Genesis Dragon". However, it misses 779 cards released in OCG before Lord of Magicians, mainly cards that rely on other specific cards, such as Ritual Spells or the ones that require a specific monster, like "Checkmate".

The game contains Turbo Duels. "Speed Spells" versions of existing cards appear in the game, such as "Speed Spell - Raigeki" and "Speed Spell - Harpie's Feather Duster", also completely new Speed Spells are included such as "Speed Spell - Wheelie Breaker" and Speed Spell - Speed Jammer". Special Trap Cards designed specifically for Turbo Duels are also included, such as Des Accelerator and Slip Stream.

There is Wi-fi in this game where player's can play against each other, find upgrades and cards.

See: Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator Card Downloads and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator: Downloads.

Characters[edit]

The player creates their own character. They choose their name, gender and appearance.

Story Mode includes the majority of characters from the first arc of the anime and a number of original characters. Additional character versions of cards can be unlocked as opponents and Tag Duelists in Free Duel mode.

See: Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator characters.

Storyline[edit]

Screenshot

The player wakes up in Satellite, stripped of their memory. They are found by Rally who Duels them in the hopes it will help them regain their memory. It barely has an effect, but Rally decides to take them in, and introduces them to his friends Blitz, Nervin and Tank at their Satellite base. The player finds a "Speed Spell" card in their Duel Disk, causing everyone to believe that they are a Turbo Duelist. Since Yusei and Sector Security are the only Turbo Duelists in Satellite, they figure the player came from the City.

Since a Turbo Duelist is not complete without their Duel Runner, Blitz arranges for the player to buy a Duel Runner from Kuroe. He quickly discovers that the Duel Runner is nonfunctional, without any engine or CPU. An angry Blitz tries confronting Kuroe but gets kidnapped by his lackeys. The player then ventures to the thugs' lair, where they duel and defeat multiple thugs in order to free Blitz. As thanks for rescuing his friend, Yusei helps fit the Duel Runner frame with a functional engine, and then announces his departure to the City.

A few days later, Rally hands the player a CPU to complete the Duel Runner, and with a fully functional Duel Runner, the player takes it for a test drive. Shortly after, though, Sector Security, led by Officer Trudge, shows up outside the hideout, as they have traced Rally's criminal mark to their location. Trudge accuses Rally of stealing the CPU. To avoid getting arrested, the group jams Security's tracking device and splits up — Rally, Nervin, Blitz and Tank run one way while the player distracts the Security officers on their Duel Runner. They are chased to the Old Highway but manage to outrun Trudge.

After a successful escape, the player reunites with the gang at the hideout, and intends to escape to the city through the pipeline just like Yusei did. After planning their route through a test simulation, the player makes a break for the city through the garbage chute. However, Trudge has been on to the player and gives chase. While the player successfully outruns him, they get caught by a Security blockade on the other side. They gain a criminal mark of their own and are brought to the detention center, their Duel Runner and Deck confiscated.

In jail, the player reaches the Recreation room to see Bolt Tanner standing triumphantly over his latest opponent. Tanner taunts the defeated duelist by calling his cards trash, and the player then attempts to defend the defeated duelist by dueling Tanner with the inmate's Deck. After beating Tanner, the player notices Yusei also getting escorted to his cell, and then receives a challenge from Mr. Armstrong to Duel for their freedom. By scrounging up cards from various cells and from various inmates, the player has a Deck to call their own to challenge Armstrong with. The player defeats Armstrong, but the warden is not willing to fulfill his part of the deal, and orders the Security officers to seize the player. However, Rex Goodwin happened to be watching the Duel, and he fires Armstrong on the spot and releases the player. Before they leave, Tanner hands the player an Ushi Oni card, telling them to seek an acquaintance at bar named Bootleg.

The Bootleg owner recognizes the card, and challenges the player to solve three of his five Duel Puzzles. The owner then tells the player to wait outside and meet Blister, their next contact. Blister supplies the player a fake Security ID and Security uniform to let them sneak into the Impound Center and reclaim their Duel Runner and Deck. While the player recollects their belongings, they are cornered by Trudge once again, and have to outrun him by driving through and out of the Impound Center.

Upon escape, the player encounters Yusei, who also has reclaimed his Duel Runner and Deck, and they make a break for cover. As the player makes their escape, they are guided by Leo to a place where they could take shelter. Leo introduces himself and Luna, and then challenges the player to a duel. As a reward for winning, Leo informs the player of an underground Duel arena and invites them there. There, the twins witness Akiza beat an opponent, wreaking havoc on the surroundings in the process. While people flee from the arena, the player feels a stinging pain as they notice a birthmark appear on their arm. Akiza notices this mark and promptly challenges the player to a Duel, but the birthmark disappears after the Duel with neither party understanding more about it.

Several days later, the player gets informed of a Tag-Team Duel Tournament as they make their way towards the Duel Runner Shop. They also get into a Tag Duel with the twins, with Blister as their temporary partner. After the player finds a partner, they proceed to the Duel Stadium where they participate in the tournament, facing Figaro and Corse (this opponent team may vary between who's chosen as the Tag partner), Blister and Tanner, and finally Leo and Luna. After winning, the player runs into Goodwin, who congratulates the player for their victory.

A few more days pass, and the player runs into Tanner outside the bar and receives an invitation to the Fortune Cup. Blister directs the player to Neo Domino Highway to register for the preliminary race. After passing the preliminary race, the player is confronted by Bass who shows them how to play a Turbo Duel. Speed Spells will also become available at the shop after this mechanic is introduced. The player enters the preliminary rounds of the Fortune Cup in the Duel Stadium, where they face off against Trudge, Hunter Pace, and Greiger through Turbo Duels. The latter half of the Fortune Cup pits the player against Gill Randsborg and Akiza in ground duels, and the semifinals pits them against Yusei Fudo in a Turbo Duel.

As the player is preparing for the final duel against Jack Atlas, they suddenly black out, go through several flashbacks, and wake up at a temple for the People of the Stars. Rex Goodwin appears before them, explaining that he grafted the birthmark onto the player's arm to make them an artificial Signer. Through repeated intense Dueling, he intends to harness the player's artificial birthmark to complete the ritual to summon the Crimson Dragon. Goodwin then pits the player against 4 other clones - Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta - and the player has to defeat them all without replenishing life points in between Duels.

Though the ritual appears to be successful, the Crimson Dragon only briefly appears. Rex Goodwin realizes that mere replicas cannot substitute authentic Signers for the ritual. The player blacks out once again, returning to their room in time for the Duel with the King, Jack Atlas. Jack is defeated, and he hands the player the Stardust Dragon card. Goodwin aborts his plan to awaken the Dragon, and allows the player to do as they wish. The player then passes Yusei the Stardust Dragon card, and also receives a Travel Permit, allowing them to travel between Satellite and New Domino City.

World Championship Mode[edit]

You can also unlock opponents for Free Duel in World Championship Mode by advancing the plot or defeating opponents in Story Mode (5 times per opponent). Certain opponents can only be unlocked for accomplishing tasks like summoning a difficult-to-summon monster, or winning with a special victory condition. Note that they must be done in a regular Duel; Duel Puzzles don't count.

Acquiring enough opponents within a certain skill level will unlock Tournament Mode for a certain Level. In Tournament Mode, the player enters a 3-tier elimination tournament with 7 other randomly chosen available CPU opponents, and must defeat the three opponents they get matched up with in separate duels in order to win. Clearing Tournament levels are required to unlock certain opponents and packs.

Glitches and mistakes[edit]

  • If the player's character is a girl, many of the other main characters will refer to her as a "he" and Rex Goodwin introduces the clones as the player's "brothers" instead of "sisters".
  • When interacting with Elgio, a player may find 'Turbo Duel' instead of 'Tag Duel'. Activating 'Turbo Duel' causes the player and their teammate to tag duel against Elgio and Itokawa.
  • Occasionally part of the character model's hair may turn white unnaturally. In extreme cases, almost all of the hair is white. This is a minor texture glitch and shouldn't harm gameplay.
  • Once all of the Structure Decks have been bought, the only one available will be the 5D's Starter Deck, and the player will not be allowed to buy any others. The 5D's Starter Deck will also have the 'new' symbol above it even if the player has purchased it multiple times. Additionally, every time the player leaves the Card Shop, the game will say that a new pack has been added to the card list, despite nothing actually happening.
  • When "Canyon" is in play and you attack a Rock-Type monster in Defense Position with a monster that inflicts piercing damage and win, the damage to the opponent is doubled, even though the lore says that damage will only be doubled for the controller of the attacking monster.
  • When in the Tournament or playing on-line sometimes, the monster attack sound effects will be swapped with the attack sound effect of the attacked monster. For example, when a monster with a laser sound effect attacks a monster with a sword/slash sound effect, you will hear the sword/slash effect.
  • If an Action Replay is used, if you are attacking a monster which is about to be destroyed due to your monster having more attack points, the last 0 in the difference between attack points appears before all of the other digits. This can also happen if you are not using an Action Replay occasionally.
  • The themes played during the unique summon animation for certain monsters (e.g. Dark Armed Dragon, Tytannial, Egyptian God Cards, Great Shogun Shien, Light and Darkness Dragon, etc) is sometimes skipped.
  • In the English anime, Nervin and Blitz have their names swapped, but not in the game.
  • Sometimes, the game sound is heard as double, microphones failure.
  • Despite not mentioning it in either OCG or TCG text, some Plant support cards in the game only affects Plants on your side of the field, even though in reality they can affect both sides.
  • When the effect of "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter" activates, the option to destroy a card on the field with its effect is erronously translated as "Do you want to destroy this card?". If you select yes, it wont destroy "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter" and it will let you select the card to destroy, as it should.

Connectivity with Wheelie Breakers[edit]

Using DS Wireless Communications to connect with the Wii Game, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers unlocks Speed Spell - Wheelie Breaker for use in Turbo Duels if you haven't obtained it yet.

Promotional cards[edit]

Stardust Accelerator includes three promotional cards, which are used by Kalin in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. These include: "Infernity Guardian", "Infernity Archfiend" and "Infernity Dwarf".

The Korean version of the game included 7 promotional cards; the said 3 along with the cards from Limited Edition 12; "Light End Dragon", "Dark End Dragon", "Chaos-End Master" and "Sphere of Chaos".

In the Stardust Accelerator game guide, "Infernity Destroyer" is the promo card given.

Trivia[edit]

  • When the full sign of the Crimson Dragon is shown, it shows the Heart Sign placed in the Left Claw, which is Luna's mark. The Heart Sign would be given to Leo in Episode 142, which aired in Japan almost two years after this game was released.
