Glitches

Card Text

• Cards with "Dark Magician", and other magician cards such as "Magician of Black Chaos", in their text mistakenly replaces "Magician" with "Spellian". This can be seen on "Dark Magician Girl". This is likely as a result of a last-minute changing of "Magic" to "Spell" using a mass-text replacer on the ROM before release.

Card Effect

• You take all the damage from "Burning Land".
• Terrain bonuses sometimes do not benefit the player, but it does benefits AI.
• Despite the text saying otherwise, "Maiden of the Aqua" does give the same stat bonuses and penalties as "Umi" when it is face-up on the field. Until another field card is played then it deactivates.
• After "Spear Dragon" has attacked, activate "Book of Moon" and "Spear Dragon" would be flipped facedown, therefore, the effect of "Spear Dragon" makes the card into facedown Attack Position.
• Your monster is destroyed even if you chain Book of Moon to your opponents Trap Hole.
• Monsters gained through the effects of "Red-Moon Baby" are glitched.
• Despite the text of "Spellbinding Circle" saying otherwise, if the targeted monster is Tributed, "Spellbinding Circle" is destroyed.
• If "Spirit Reaper" is targeted by an Equip Spell, only the Spell is destroyed.

Smartness of AI

• The AI...
  • shows signs of "knowing" face-down cards.
  • only chains to your cards, using "Jar of Greed", "Magic Jammer", "Seven Tools of the Bandit", "Royal Decree", and the specific Spell-countering cards like "Anti-Raigeki" or "Call of the Dark".
  • activates traps even when Royal Decree is in play. They are negated though.
  • only returns 1 of the opponents monsters to his hand using Penguin Soldier
• If a card effect would make one of the AI's monsters stronger than your highest-ATK monster, but the monster is naturally weaker than the latter, the AI will still play it in Defense Position. However, it will switch the monster to Attack Position at the next opportunity.

Game Speed

The speed of Gameplay is relatively slow compared to previous Yu-Gi-Oh! games. However, gameplay can be sped up to match previous games, by holding L while dueling or just hold L while choosing an opponent.

Trivia

The Japanese version of this game uses the censored TCG card artworks instead of the Japanese, except for some few cards.
