Unlockable

  • UMD Recognition with any one of the Tag Force Games unlocks the Generation Next Booster in the shop.
  • Unlike previous games, the Konami Code does NOT unlock a pack. Instead, the player, at the card shop, should press the right directional button 5 times, then the square button 7 times, and lastly press select 3 times. This unlocks the High Noon Constellation Pack. (this, instead, references 573 - the goroawase pronunciation for "Konami")

Character Storylines

Completing Story Mode with the below characters earns the player three copies of the characters' signature card. For example, completing Yusei's story earns the player three copies of Stardust Dragon, and Leo's story rewards the player with three copies of Power Tool Dragon. This isn't always the case, as completing normal Carly's story earns you one copy of each of the Fortune Fairies, and completing Crow's story earns you three copies of Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant. When you complete a Dark Signer story, you will receive 3 copies of their Earthbound Immortal card. These cards cannot be purchased at the Card Shop, so completing the respective character's storylines is essential.

Unlike in previous Tag Force games, you do not permanently partner with one character--instead, every individual character constantly gains Heart points whenever you positively interact with them, and partnerships only last until the end of the day. When you partner with one character, you fill their Heart meter even when you interact with other characters, so partnering often is recommended, even if you only play solo most of the time. In order to most efficiently fill up a character's hearts, you might want to improve their mood by giving them gifts from the vending machine outside the Card Shop.

When you complete a characters storyline, everytime you go to the location there are they will want to partner with you or if you want or if you already have a partner give you something like cards or a item.

Yusei Fudo's (With Marker / Signer) Story

(Note: Yusei's final event is similar to Episode 54 and Episode 55 where Yusei has a rematch against Kalin and wins. Yusei's final event is similar to Episode 56 and Episode 57 where he duels Roman and wins.)

Yusei Fudo's (Without Marker / Satellite) Story

(Note: This Story closely mimics the first five episodes of the 5Ds anime, wherein Yusei escapes from Satellite into the City to get Stardust Dragon back from Jack. It is also in this story that Rally Dawson comments that the player has a Duel Runner, yet it is never seen in the game. Also, in this storyline, Yusei refuses to speak during the events, only saying the words 'Duel me.')

Jack Atlas's Story

(Note: Jack's third event is similar to Episode 58 and Episode 59 where he duels Carly and wins.)

Akiza Izinski's Story

(Note: Akiza's first event is similar to Episode 38 and Episode 39 where she duels Misty and witnesses Sayer's death. Akiza's second event is similar to Episode 40 and Episode 41 where she goes against the group due to losing Sayer. Akiza's final event is similar to Episode 60 and Episode 61 where Akiza has a rematch against Misty and wins.)

Akiza Izinski's (Duel Academy) Story

Crow Hogan's Story

Luna's Story

  • First Heart: You and Luna tag duel against Leo and Yusei Fudo
  • Second Heart: You and Luna tag duel against two female students
  • Third Heart: You and Luna tag duel against two Satellite duelists
  • Fourth Heart: You and Luna tag duel against Devack and Kid

(Note: Luna's final event is similar to Episode 50 where Luna takes over for Leo during the duel with Devack.)

Leo's Story

Kalin Kesler (Dark Signer) Story

(Note: Kalin's final event is similar to Episode 54 and Episode 55 where Kalin duels against Yusei and loses. Also, before Kalin disappears, he shows the player a photo of the player, Yusei, Jack, Crow, and Kalin wearing Enforcer jackets. This reveals that the player was once a member of The Enforcers.)

Kalin Kesler's (Enforcers) Story

  • First Heart: You and Kalin tag duel against Crow Hogan and a Young Boy
  • Second Heart: You and Kalin tag duel against two Sector Security Officers
  • Third Heart: You and Kalin tag duel against two Sector Security Officers
  • Fourth Heart: You and Kalin tag duel against Officer Trudge and Sector Security Officer

Carly Carmine's Story

Carly Carmine's (Dark Signer) Story

Misty Tredwell's Story

Misty Tredwell's (Dark Signer) Story

Officer Trudge's Story

Officer Trudge (Shadow Drone)'s Story

  • First Heart: You and Shadow Drone Trudge interrupt the conflict between Luna and Devack as they quarrel over Ancient Fairy Dragon, and wind up having to duel both of them.
  • Second Heart: You and Shadow Drone Trudge interrupt the conflict between Akiza and Dark Signer Misty, and duel both of them.
  • Third Heart: You get between Jack and Dark Signer Carly during their final battle, and have to duel both of them.
  • Fourth Heart: You and Shadow Drone Trudge interrupt the conflict between Yusei and Dark Signer Kalin, and duel both of them.

Mina Simington's Story Mina almost always refuses to partner with you (she's too busy working for Jack) but she has events nonetheless.

  • First Heart: You and Mina must duel against two people in Satellite to get an important part for Jack's Duel Runner.
  • Second Heart: Jack rudely disappointed two of his child fans, Leo and another kid, so you and Mina duel them to cheer them up.
  • Third Heart: Jack blew off his appointment duel with Misty Tredwell, so you and Mina must tag duel her in his place.
  • Fourth Heart: You and Mina tag duel against Jack and Leo.

Mina Simington's (Angry) Story This version of Mina is constantly irritated and despises the player character for no clear reason. Finding items to improve her mood is very difficult, but note that sometimes her heart meter or mood will improve even if she decries the gift item as "junk."

  • First Heart: You duel against Leo and another child.
  • Second Heart: You duel against Misty and another woman.
  • Third Heart: You and Mina duel against Officer Trudge and a Sector Security Officer.
  • Fourth Heart:You duel against Carly and Jack.

Rally Dawson's Story

Devack's Story Devack's four heart events are unusual. His duels are solo, without your aid, but his deck is also poorly made and has no tribute fodder for his high-level monsters, making it useless unless you edit it. Since you don't earn the right to edit decks of a character until clearing their second Heart Event, you'll need to find Larry and pay him 10,000 DP to unlock the right to edit Devack's deck. It is recommended you focus upon a Beast-themed deck since a few of his unique Beast support cards (like Closed Forest) cannot be removed from his deck.

  • First Heart: Devack duels against Leo, mistaking him for his sister Luna
  • Second Heart: Devack duels against Mina, mistaking her for Akiza
  • Third Heart: Devack duels against Officer Trudge, mistaking him for Jack Atlus
  • Forth Heart: Devack duels against Crow Hogan, mistaking him for Yusei

Roman Goodwin's Story Unlocks when you've completed the main story for all the Signers

Characters

See: Portal:Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4 characters
Opponents

The majority of characters have different names in the English version than the original Japanese. The Japanese version of this game featured 43 video game new characters. However when the game was translated to English 19 of these characters had their names changed to that of characters from previous Tag Force games, who were excluded from this game. These 19 characters are listed above by their Japanese names in italics, followed by the English name in parenthesis.

Non-duelists

  • Blister can be paid DP to show you the location and mood of all duelists for a week on the map. He is always found in the "Back Alley" area.
  • Blitz (aka Nerve) will randomly give you something that he either found or stole, usually an item or 200 DP. He usually lurks somewhere around Satellite.
  • Tank will give you an assortment of cards he's scrounged from around Satellite. Most of the cards are garbage Normal Monsters that nobody uses, but occasionally he can give you something powerful, like Dark Strike Fighter or Thought Ruler Archfiend. The junk cards he gives cannot actually be purchased in the Card Shop, so visiting Tank regularly is the only way to fill out the Card Album to 100%. His location is random, but usually within Satellite.
  • Tenzen Yanagi will take 100 DP to give you a chance of getting an alternate art card by playing rock-paper-scissors. If you win, you get the card. If you lose or draw, you get nothing.
  • Larry (aka Lenny) can allow you to edit a Partner's deck before you have earned the right to do it by paying a fee. He can also reset a character's hearts to zero so you can replay their storyline and, when available, he can allow you to view alternate versions of a character, such as the Dark Signer versions of Carly and Misty. He is always found near the incomplete bridge on Satellite.
  • The MC is randomly hiding in one area on the map, and changes location constantly. If you manage to find him, he can give you a prize of rare cards, a lot of DP, gift items, or increase a partner's Heart meter .

Other Notes

  • Dark Signer characters usually only appear near the end of the day (near nightfall).
  • The Card Shop will give you a permanent discount if you bring them specific figures from the Item machine. Confirmed figures include "White Magician Pikeru", "Ebon Magician Curran", "Dark Magician Girl", "Card Ejector" and "Cyber Tutu". Completing this set is necessary to unlock the "Lovey Dovey" card pack. You can recognize a figure needed for this when you acquire it (from the item shop or from someone else) because its icon will be golden.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh GX reference: When you talk to Tenzen Yanagi after you play the game him (does not matter if you win or lose he offers to tell you the story of when he fought aliens alongside a dolphin. Jaden fought a robot named Alien in space while being assisted by Neo-Spacian Marine Dolphin.
  • Break Draw is no longer a Game Original. It was released in Absolute Powerforce.

Bugs

  • When you play "Molten Destruction" the 3D field seems to have an error.
  • "Flamvell Firedog"'s card Effect says that you can Special Summon from your Graveyard but it really is from your deck (and the effect resolves as it really is).
  • Any "Dark Synchro" monster's level counts as the positive number.
  • Gladiator's Return's Effect states that you can only return to the Deck Gladiator Beasts monsters, but actually any Gladiator Beasts cards can be returned.
  • In this game, you can add Synchro Monsters to your Main Deck. First change the layout in the Deck Editing Menu and after that, move Synchro Monsters from your Trunk to your Side Deck and then from the Side Deck hold the R button and press X. Then the Synchro Monsters will be move to your Main Deck. However, when the Duel starts, when an effect has been activated the game hangs. Sometimes when you activate a card effect that searches a card(s) from your Deck, the Synchro Monsters in your hand return to your Extra Deck.
  • Morphtronic Bind's effect still works even when it's face-down.
  • One-Hundred Eye Dragon's Effect states that only he gains the effects of all Infernity monsters in the Graveyard, but actually all monsters on your side of the field gain the effects.
  • Sometimes you are not allowed to summon Synchro Monsters when the levels are correct in Tag Duels.
  • The text of Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union says you may only equip monsters you control to it, but the effect actually works as normal.
  • Sometimes when you partner synchro you wont be able to see your partner's cards
  • When Rally summons Turbo Cannon the cut-away sequence of Rally summoning it always says it's summoned in Attack Position, even when it's summoned in Defense Position.
  • Your partner will almost never activate the effect of Hyena.
  • When you have a Gemini Monster on the field that could destroy a monster or attack directly using an effect (such as Infinity Dark, Shadow Delver, and Goggle Golem) your partner will often attack with it, even if it doesn't have the effect yet. This results in a pointless suicide attack.
  • In general, your partner will only very rarely Gemini Summon your Gemini Monsters, even if the effect would win the duel or they aren't spending the normal summon required themselves. Sometimes they will even ignore a set Supervise you place so they will use it on your monster on their turn. The lone exception to this hole in AI seems to be Dark Valkyria.
