All other monsters have under 1000 [[ATK]]/[[DEF]], except for [[Hyozanryu]], which would be incredibly hard to summon due to lack play Duel Monsters against a variety of tributescomputer opponents.

*The game features 1,138 cards (201 [[TeaSpell]]Deck-This deck is also easy to beat due to lack of stall cardss, but it would take a long time due to the effective 109 [[Life PointsTrap]] healing cards. It is possible for Tea to summon s, 55 [[St. JoanFusion Monster]] with her high 2000 s, 16 [[DEFRitual Monster]] s, 224 [[The Forgiving Maiden|Forgiving MaidenEffect Monster]] s and decent 1700 533 [[ATKNormal Monster]] s).

*==Changes since ''Stairway to the Destined Duel''==The following changes were made since ''[[Yugi]]DeckYu-Gi-Yugi has a number of cards that control Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the [[Monster Card Zone]]s. He has weak monsters, but if you have no monsters, [[Gemini Elf]], [[Summoned Skull]], or [[Dark Magician]] will be [[summonDestined Duel]]ed.'':

'''General'''* Players can have three Decks.*[[TrusdalePassword]]s have been removed.Deck-This deck is the basically the same * No games are played as Yugi's except [[ExodiaMatch]]es. As such, the [[Backup Soldier]], and [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]] replace Yugi's high [[ATKSide Deck]] monstershas been removed.

'''Campaign'''* The story element has been removed.* The game returns to the format of choosing opponents from a list, rather than a map.* Characters do not speak.* The option to choose a random opponent is added.*[[Bakura]]Opponents have on-screen numbering.* A Deck-The only thing dangerous in this deck theme is displayed for each opponent.* Opponents are the three [[Maha Vailo]]s given scores from 1 to 5 for "Attack", "Defense", "Strategy", "Intellect" and the rarely used [[Equip Cards]]."Luck"

Level 2'''Deck edit'''*[[Rex Raptor]] Unlocked Cards can be filtered by-Deck-This deck is like the ones in Level 1group (1–4, 5–6, 7+). The strongest monsters are [[Crawling Dragon #2]] and [[Two-Headed King Rex]]. No tribute monster has over 2000 [[ATK]], and the [[Fusion]] has 2200 ATK* Cards can be ordered by category (frame color).

*[[Weevil Underwood]] Unlocked by-==Cards==Deck{{Main|List of ''Yu-Weevil has a rather scary deck to duel against, using [[Mirror Force]], [[Torrential Tribute]], and [[ManGi-Eater Bug]]. [[Sangan]] can bring out [[Witch of the Black Forest]], which in turn gets [[Empress Mantis]] or [[Jirai Gumo]] (which is usually already summoned). If you can get past the [[Trap]]s and [[ATK]] power, [[Raigeki]] will stop you, though itOh! World Championship Tournament 2004''ll be used once.cards}}

*[[Mako Tsunami]] Unlocked by==Campaign=====Opponents==={{Main|''Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004'' Opponents}}Deck{{See also|Portal:''Yu-Gi-Mako Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004'' characters}}There are 28 opponents in the game. Each opponent has [[Umi]] different skills and Decks revolving around a certain theme ([[A Legendary OceanYugi Muto]]= Basic, Rare Hunter = Exodia, so he can summon [[The Legendary Fisherman]] easily and devastate with [[Amphibian BeastYami Yugi]] = Ultimate, etc. With [[Torrential Tribute]] and [[Tornado Wall]], this deck is very hard to inflict damage on).

Level 3*[[Maximillion Pegasus]] Unlocked by-Deck-Pegasus uses [[Vorse Raider]] and [[Nimble Momonga]] to fend off [[attack]]s, along with the many shielding [[Trap]]s in order to summon his heavy damaging Toon Monsters. This deck pays a lot The speed of [[Life Points]] play is slow but also has lots of healing, like Tea. [[Mirror Wall]] is often played when it isncan be sped up by holding '''L'''t needed to, sometimes resulting in a wasted [[Trap]] while Dueling or a loss if 2000 (sometimes 4000) Life Points. Sometimes, [[Toon Mermaid]] will be [[Special Summon|Special Summoned]], and then summon [[Normal]] [[Summoned Skull]]just hold '''L''' while choosing an opponent.

*[[Bandit Keith]] Unlocked by-Deck-There The weaker opposing Decks are few full of junk monsters in this deck, though [[Blocker]] has high [[defense]] to stall to summon [[Pendulum Machine]], [[Slot Machine]], or [[Barrel Dragon]], along with cards that aren't worth battling like "[[Overdrive]], [[Oni Tank T-34]], and [[MechanicalchaserWinged Cleaver (World Championship 2004)|Winged Cleaver]] for support". There are also six [[Trap]]s, three [[Trap Hole]]s The stronger opposing Decks (Level Four and three [[Gamble]]sabove) put up a higher challenge since they ignore card limitations.

*Since many opponents do not use cards against your Spells/Traps, the use of stalling cards like "[[Rare HunterGravity Bind (World Championship 2004)|Gravity Bind]]Unlocked by-You randomly duel Strings, Umbra&Lumis, Arkana, or Rare Hunter" can make winning very simple.

*You can sort cards (only ascending) by choosing sorting criteria one after another. The previous sorting criteria are kept as far as possible (i.e. sort by 1) name 2) [[Umbra&LumisDEF]]Unlocked by defeating Marik3) [[ATK]]). There is no useful sorting criteria for Spells and Traps other than "name".

*[[Rare Hunter]]Unlocked by defeating MarikDeck-Hunter uses a Exodia deck, like Grandpa. However, even without any stall, this deck has many Forbidden cards, three of each. This includes [[Mirror Force]], [[Torrential Tribute]], and [[Raigeki]], and more terrifyingly, [[Pot of Greed]] and [[Graceful Charity]]. Luckily, he uses three copies of all Exodia pieces, and won't discard extras unless he has no other You start the game with 120 random cards. 3 copies of [[Sangan]] and [[Witch of the Black Forest]] makes attacks work against you. Even if you find a way around it, Torrential Tribute, [[Negate Attack]], and Mirror Force will guarantee that you won't. The best strategies to use against this default Deck is Burn, or the can be optimized right away with other winning methods, [[Destiny Board]] and cards in your own Exodiatrunk in most cases.

*[[Shadi]]===Packs===Unlocked by defeating Seto Kaiba 20 times and defeat all {{Main|Portal:''Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004'' sets}}Each time the player wins a Duel, they can open a pack containing five cards. Often, one of the five will be a rare card whose name is displayed in a holographic pattern. The rare card is more likely to be one that the player has not yet received as opposed to a duplicate of one stars duelist 10 timesof their existing cards.

This can be seen on Dark Magician Girl. This is likely as a result of of a last-minute changing of "Magic" to "[[Spell CardsReinforcement of the Army (World Championship 2004)|SpellReinforcement of the Army]]" using a mass-text replacer on the ROM before release.*You take all the damage from "[[Burning LandRiryoku (World Championship 2004)|Riryoku]].After spear dragon has attacked, activate book of moon and spear dragon would be flipped facedown, therefore, spear dragon's effect makes the card into facedown attack position."

==Limited Edition CardsGlitches==The following cards were included in the North American version of this game:===Card text===* In both card text and card names, "Magician" has been replaced by "Spellian". This affects cards including "[[WC4-001Dark Magician (World Championship 2004)|Dark Magician]] ", "[[Fairy King TruesdaleMagician of Black Chaos (World Championship 2004)|Magician of Black Chaos]] * ", and "[[WC4-002Dark Magician Girl (World Championship 2004)|Dark Magician Girl]] [[Kinetic Soldier]]* [[WC4". This is likely as a result of a last-minute changing of "Magic" to "Spell" using a mass-003]] [[Slate Warrior]]text replacer on the ROM before release.

===Card effects===* You are not asked if you want to activate a Trap on an empty game state. This means it is not possible to use a card like "[[Call Of The European Haunted (World Championship 2004)|Call Of The Haunted]]" during your opponent's [[End Phase]]. * You cannot confirm your opponent's Deck by yourself when using cards like "[[Nobleman of Extermination (World Championship 2004)|Nobleman of Extermination]]". * "[[Axe of Despair (World Championship 2004)|Axe of Despair]]" is not placed on top of your Deck even if you have offered a monster for its effect. * You take all the damage from "[[Burning Land (World Championship 2004)|Burning Land]]". * Terrain bonuses sometimes do not benefit the player but do always benefit the AI. * Despite the text saying otherwise, "[[Maiden of The Aqua (World Championship 2004)|Maiden of The Aqua]]" does give the same stat bonuses and Australian versions penalties as "[[Umi (World Championship 2004)|Umi]]" when it is [[face-up]] on the field. Its effect will still deactivate if another [[Field Spell]] is activated. * After "[[Spear Dragon (World Championship 2004)|Spear Dragon]]" has attacked, activate "[[Book of Moon (World Championship 2004)|Book of Moon]]" and "Spear Dragon" would be flipped [[face-down]], therefore, the effect of "Spear Dragon" places it in face-down [[Attack Position]]. * Your monster is destroyed even if you chain "Book of Moon" to your opponent's "[[Trap Hole (World Championship 2004)|Trap Hole]]". * Monsters gained through the effects of this game included "[[Red-Moon Baby (World Championship 2004)|Red-Moon Baby]]" are glitched. * Despite the text of "[[Spellbinding Circle (World Championship 2004)|Spellbinding Circle]]" saying otherwise, if the targeted monster is [[Tribute]]d, "Spellbinding Circle" is destroyed. * If "[[Spirit Reaper (World Championship 2004)|Spirit Reaper]]" is targeted by an [[Equip Spell]], only the Spell is destroyed. * The opponent can switch "[[Man-Eater Bug (World Championship 2004)|Man-Eater Bug]]" into [[Defense Position]] the turn it is [[Flip Summon]]ed if no other cards in play prevent it. * When you activate "Call Of The Haunted" during your own [[Battle Phase]] while your opponent has no monsters, the Summoned monster attacks automatically. * After "[[Book of Moon (World Championship 2004)|Book of Moon]]" was [[chain]]ed to [[Set]] the target of an opponent's "[[Ring of Destruction (World Championship 2004)|Ring of Destruction]]", "Ring of Destruction" is sent to the [[Graveyard]] even when "[[Banisher of the Light (World Championship 2004)|Banisher of the Light]]" is face-up on your side of the field. * The effect of "[[Nimble Momonga (World Championship 2004)|Nimble Momonga]]" activates even when it was destroyed by the effect of "[[Sasuke Samurai (World Championship 2004)|Sasuke Samurai]]". * The opponent can pay [[LP]] for "[[Chain Energy (World Championship 2004)|Chain Energy]]" even if it reduces them to zero. * The opponent doesn't pay for "Chain Energy" when playing a card that destroys it like "[[Heavy Storm (World Championship 2004)|Heavy Storm]]" * In the following cardssituation, you receive damage equal to the 600 DEF of an opponent's "[[Man-Eater Bug (World Championship 2004)|Man-Eater Bug]]":You attack with a monster like "[[Gemini Elf (World Championship 2004)|Gemini Elf]]", the AI activates "[[Mirror Force (World Championship 2004)|Mirror Force]]", you chain "[[Ring of Destruction (World Championship 2004)|Ring of Destruction]]", the AI chains "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit (World Championship 2004)|Seven Tools of the Bandit]]". * When "[[Zombyra the Dark (World Championship 2004)|Zombyra the Dark]]" is removed from the field by the effect of a "[[WC4Cyber Jar (World Championship 2004)|Cyber Jar]]" it just destroyed, a replacement monster gets its ATK reduced by 200 by "Zombyra's" effect (even if it is Summoned face-down). ==Smartness of AI==* The AI:** Shows signs of "knowing" face-E001down cards, i.e. it never attacks a Set monster if it has higher DEF than its monster's ATK.** Never attacks a monster with the highest ATK on the field even if it has an equally strong monster and would be able to attack with other monsters afterwards.** Will [[Normal Summon]] "[[Valkyrion Slate Warrior (World Championship 2004)|Slate Warrior]]" in [[Attack Position]] and attack on the Magna same [[turn]], even if your monster has an equal ATK. ** On the turn after summoning "Slate Warrior", the AI will switch it to Defense Position even if it's the strongest monster on the field and it would make sense to keep it in Attack Position.** Only attacks an opponent's monster with equal or higher ATK in Defense Position (like "[[Spear Dragon (World Championship 2004)|Spear Dragon]]") when it has a monster with a [[piercing]] effect.** Activates Spells and Traps like normal even while "[[Imperial Order (World Championship 2004)|Imperial Order]]" or "[[Royal Decree (World Championship 2004)|Royal Decree]]" are in play, each card activated being negated as normal.** Doesn't use its "[[Mirror Force (World Championship 2004)|Mirror Force]]" as long as it has "[[Fairy Box (World Championship 2004)|Fairy Box]]" in play.* * Sometimes only returns 1 of the opponent's monsters to their hand using "[[WC4Penguin Soldier (World Championship 2004)|Penguin Soldier]]"** Sometimes uses its "[[Mystical Space Typhoon (World Championship 2004)|Mystical Space Typhoon]]" on its own cards.** Always [[Tribute Summon]]s, even if the Tributed monster was stronger than the new monster.** Tribute Summons even when the Tributed monster is the same monster as the new one.** Tributes face-E002down [[Flip effect]] monsters without [[Sinister SerpentFlip Summon]]ing first.* * Activates "[[WC4Monster Reborn (World Championship 2004)|Monster Reborn]]" in [[Main Phase 2]] even if it would have won the Duel when using it before the [[Battle Phase]].** Does not hesitate to self-destruct, such as by destroying a face-E003up opponent's "[[Black Pendant (World Championship 2004)|Black Pendant]]" while having less than 500 LP.** Never activates "[[Snatch Steal (World Championship 2004)|Snatch Steal]]" despite having it in hand.** Often gets the correct outcome when it activates the effect of "[[Time Wizard (World Championship 2004)|Time Wizard]] ".** Uses "[[HarpieBackup Soldier (World Championship 2004)|Backup Soldier]]" when its activation requirements are fulfilled even if no monsters can be retrieved from the Graveyard at that time.** If a card effect would make one of the AI's Feather Dustermonsters stronger than your highest-ATK monster but that 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. ==Promotional cards=====Japanese==={{Main|''Yu-Gi-Oh!
