Can You Make 400 Friends?

Can You Make 400 Friends? (ともだち４００人できるかな？, Tomodachi Yonhyaku nin dekiru ka na?) is one of the Free Mini Games featured in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2 and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3. It is unlocked when the player talks to the Researcher at the Harbor.

Gameplay

The player and their partner travel around a rectangular grid to gather a total of 400 friends (represented as Duel Academy students) scattered around the grid within a time limit of 10 minutes. The player automatically moves forward though they can use the directional buttons or analog stick to guide the player's direction of travel. The player can press Cross to jump and press or hold Circle to move faster. Upon making a contact with a friend, they will follow behind the player or their partner depending on the friend's dorm uniform; Slifer Red friends follow the player while Obelisk Blue friends follow the player's partner. A multiplier to the number of friends is applied whenever the player touches another friend in succession within a 10 second timer, where touching one friend while the multiplier of 2 counts as two friends added behind the player and it stacks additively up to a multiplier of 9. After the multiplier timer expires, the bonus is reset.

The game ends in failure if:

• the player touches their partner, a friend (either following the player or their partner) or the edges of the grid, while the partner is not subject to the same conditions aside from the first.

• the 10-minute timer expires. As such, the game progressively becomes harder when both the player and their partner gather numerous friends, leaving the player less room to navigate around the grid. As such, they will be required to jump over the trails of their friends to avoid colliding with them, and take extra care when approaching the player's jumping friends.

If the player successfully completes the game, the player will be scored and receive DP and Duelist Level EXP depending on the time taken to complete the mini game.

The player's partner choices exhibit various behavior patterns that affect the game's progress; certain partners such as Jaden Yuki will always steer clear from the player if the player is close to them.

Scoring

• 1 DP for every 2 friends made.
• If the player successfully cleared the minigame, the player earns 1 DP for each second they had remaining, rounded up.
• EXP is equal to the total amount of DP earned divided by 25, rounded down if necessary.
