After defeating the five Ghouls, who randomly appear, Téa controlled by Marik leads the player to the Ghoul's Pyramid. Here they must win five duels in a row, proceeding to a new chamber after winning each. The first is against Téa controlled by Marik, then Joey controlled, the next two are random Ghouls and the last is Marik.

After clearing this section of the game, the Ghouls no longer randomly appear and may be faced like normal opponents and in events.

Events

• Weekend Tournaments: The player faces a random opponent in a Match.
• Limitation Tournaments: Only accessed by finishing everything else in the game, there are ten rounds.

Trivia

• Yami Marik's appearance on the box cover of this video game is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 222 (Duelist Duel 163): "The Rise of Ra!", specifically from the panel where he laughs at Mai Kujaku, asking how she plans on using "The Winged Dragon of Ra", after he prompts her to continue her turn.
  • Yami Yugi's appearance here is taken from the title page for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 207 (Duelist Duel 148): "One-Turn Kill", although he is shown without his jacket, the cards in his left hand, and his Duel Disk.
