Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2 is a video game for the Game Boy Advance, released in Japan on December 20, 2001. A modified version was later released internationally under the title Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel.
Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2 is set during the Battle City arc. The player Duels characters from the anime and manga. The player can participate in a few tournaments and Duel single opponents they come across on the map screen. Cards are awarded for various reasons including defeating opponents, winning tournaments and free cards with the Duelist Weekly magazine.
Contents
Changes from Duel Monsters 5[edit]
General
- D-Tactics have been removed.
- The player cannot be named.
- A 500 Duel Points cost has been added to passwords.
- The calendar has been removed. (The concept of in-game weekdays still exists. Precise dates and the ability to view a list of dates and their corresponding events has been removed.)
- Achievement icons have been added.
Rules
- Limitation Status can be turned off, after certain conditions have been met.
Campaign
- Opponents are sought out by moving around a map screen, rather than choosing them from a list.
- The opponents Duel Computer and Simon have been removed. Kaiba Mokuba, Odion, Bandit Keith and Duke Devlin have been added.
- The Duel Tournament is held on Saturdays instead of Sundays and happens every week. Players must find and select the tournament, rather than being forced to take part.
- The game features a plot, involving Tea Gardner being captured by the Ghouls.
- Grandpa Cup and the National Championship have been removed.
- KC Cup, Challenge Cup and Limitation Tournaments have been added.
- Target Week is introduced.
- If the player challenges certain characters, while certain other characters are in the same area, the other character will insist on Dueling the player instead.
- Some opponents have two versions of themselves, e.g. Yami Yugi and Yugi Muto, who will alternate as opponents for the player. For the purposes of win and loss totals, they count as the same character.
Cards
- Card names can contain kanji. Each card also has a furigana name.
- Card texts can contain more kanji. (Duel Monsters 5 only featured a limited amount of kanji, which could be used in card texts.)
- The ATK and DEF of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" are changed from 4000 to ????.
- Card numbers are not displayed on the card-details screen.
- Limitation text is placed in its own area, outside of the card description.
- The details screen for Monster Tokens is changed to make them less like regular cards. This includes depicting the Token as a coin rather than a card, displaying its ATK, DEF, Level and Type in a different location and adding the limitation text, "This is not a card".
Deck Edit
- Cards can be filtered by frame color.
- Statistics showing the breakdown of cards per category can be viewed for the Bag, Main Deck and Side Deck.
Map screen[edit]
[edit]
The Battle City map is divided into 14 areas. Each in-game day, the player can stay in their existing area or move to a neighboring one. When an area is highlighted, preview boxes showing the Duelists, tournaments and passengers in the area will appear. However Duelists' names and faces will not be displayed if the player has not faced them yet. When the icon for an individual Duelist is highlighted the players' win and loss counts against that opponent are displayed.
- When a passenger icon is selected, an unseen character will speak to the player.
- When a Duelist icon is selected, the player will Duel that character, unless an interruption occurs. If the player wins the Duel, they are awarded a Booster Pack.
- When a tournament icon is selected, the player takes part in that tournament.
Characters[edit]
The game includes characters from the manga, up until the Battle City manga arc.
Non-opponent characters, include Roland, who announces events, and the unnamed unseen "Passengers" that the player can speak to.
Opponent characters are as follows:

The player can view their cards and edit their Deck from the Deck & Bag menu. The menu has three different screens, which can be toggled between using the L and R keys.

- Side Deck: 0 to 15 cards, which can be used to modify the Deck between Duels, during Matches.
Each screen shows a list of cards with four visible at a time. The up and down arrows can be used to move through the cards one at a time or the left and right arrows to move four a time. When highlighted, a card's illustration, kana name, stats and the number of copies of it in the Bag, Deck and Side Deck are displayed. When selected, the player can view its details or move a copy to the Bag, Deck or Side Deck.
Cards can be filtered and re-ordered on each screen.
- The options to filter by are; all cards, Normal Monsters, Effect Monsters, Fusion Monsters, Magic Cards, Trap Cards and Ritual Monsters.
- Magic and Trap Cards can only be sorted by name. The options to sort monsters are; name (which is also numeric order), ATK, DEF, Level and Type. In the event of a tie, e.g. two cards having the same Level, when order by Level, they are ordered per the previously applied filter.
Statistics showing the total number of cards in each of the filter categories can be viewed for each screen.
Duel Assist[edit]
Duel Assist has two suboptions; "Trade" and "8 Pass".
"Trade" allows players to connect the to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5: Expert 1 or a second copy of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert 2 , using the Game Link Cable to transfer cards between copies. After connecting two copies of the game and entering the trade menu, each player selects a card from their bag and confirms that they wish to trade it. Each card is then sent to the opposite player's game. Cards that do not exist in Duel Monsters 5 cannot be traded to it.
"8 Pass" allows players to enter the 8-digit Passwords from Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game cards to acquire copies of the card in the game. It costs 500 Duel Points to enter the Password menu, regardless of whether the entered Password valid or not or if the player even attempts to enter a password.
Cable Duel[edit]
Players can connect two copies of the game, using the Game Link Cable, to Duel against each other.

Passwords[edit]
In the password menu, the player can get cards by entering the eight digit Password found in the bottom corner of real cards.
Glitches[edit]
- The password validation function only checks the first 1086 cards. As such none of the cards numbered from 1087 onward can be obtained by password, despite some of them having passwords recorded in the code. The affected cards are: "Red Medicine", "Lady Panther", "Royal Guard", "Lord of D.", "Spellbinding Circle", "Rocket Warrior", "Key Mace #2", "Worm Drake", "Dimensionhole", "Skull Servant", "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #2", "Alligator's Sword", "Uraby", "Remove Trap", "Waboku", "Laughing Flower" and "One-Eyed Shield Dragon".
- This game's remake, Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel, which contains exactly 1086 cards is unaffected.

Trivia[edit]
- 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 Sun Dragon Ra", after he prompts her to continue her turn.
- Yami Yugi's appearance on the box 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.
- Only the last two digits of win, loss and copies of a card counters are visible on screen. e.g. 100 will display as "00", which is distinct from 0, which displays as "0".
- There is a subroutine that allows Yami Yugi to cheat and start specifically with the following hand: "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior", "Alpha The Magnet Warrior", "Beta The Magnet Warrior", "Gamma The Magnet Warrior", and "Premature Burial". This subroutine also puts "Raigeki" as the top card of his Deck. Similarly, Mai Valentine can start with "Elegant Egotist", "Cyber Harpie", "Rising Air Current", a second "Elegant Egotist", and "Cyber Shield", with "Premature Burial" on top of her Deck, Kaiba Mokuba can start with "Heavy Storm", "Dark Hole", "Cyber-Stein", and "Megamorph", and his brother Kaiba Seto with the same hand plus "Harpie's Feather Duster" and "Raigeki".
