The game features the first 1,108 cards released in Japan. There are 29 opponents in the game.

+
In the game, the player can assemble three Decks and can play Duel Monsters against a variety of computer opponents.
  
−

+

+
==Changes since ''Stairway to the Destined Duel''==
 +
The following changes were made since ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel]]'':
  
−
==Opponents==
+
'''General'''
−
:''Main article: [[Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 Opponents]].''
+
* Players can have three Decks.
 +
* [[Password]]s have been removed.
 +
* No games are played as [[Match]]es. As such, the [[Side Deck]] has 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.
 +
* Opponents have on-screen numbering.
 +
* A Deck theme is displayed for each opponent.
 +
* Opponents are given scores from 1 to 5 for "Attack", "Defense", "Strategy", "Intellect" and "Luck"
 +
 
 +
'''Cards'''
 +
* On-screen numbering is re-introduced.
 +
* [[Monster Token]]s and the cards that Summon them have been removed.
 +
 
 +
'''Deck edit'''
 +

===Opponents===
 +
{{Main|''Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004'' Opponents}}
 +
{{See also|Portal:''Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004'' characters}}
 +
There are 28 opponents in the game. Each opponent has different skills and Decks revolving around a certain theme ([[Yugi Muto]] = Basic, Rare Hunter = Exodia, [[Yami Yugi]]  = Ultimate, etc.).
 +
 
 +
There is no conversation when beginning a Duel with the game beginning immediately after selecting the opponent.
 +
 
 +
The speed of play is slow but can be sped up by holding '''L''' while Dueling or just hold '''L''' while choosing an opponent.
 +
 
 +
The weaker opposing Decks are full of junk monsters that aren't worth battling like "[[Winged Cleaver (World Championship 2004)|Winged Cleaver]]".
 +
The stronger opposing Decks (Level Four and above) 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 "[[Gravity Bind (World Championship 2004)|Gravity Bind]]" can make winning very simple.
 +
 
 +
==Edit Deck menu==
 +
The number of total cards shown in the top bar is not the number of different cards collected so far. It really means the total number of all cards you have. The other numbers in the sub categories only refer to the number of cards in the Deck you currently use.
 +
 
 +
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) [[DEF]] 3) [[ATK]]). There is no useful sorting criteria for Spells and Traps other than "name".
 +
 
 +
For faster scrolling through the card list, push the left/right-button. You will jump to the next 4 cards. For even faster scrolling, hold the B-button and press up/down.
 +
 
 +
You start the game with 120 random cards. The default Deck can be optimized right away with other cards in your trunk in most cases.
 +
 
 +
There are cards which are Limited or Semi-Limited. These limitations do not apply to opponents.

===Packs===
 +
{{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 of their existing cards.

==Glitches==
 
==Glitches==
−
* 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 of a last-minute changing of "Magic" to "[[Spell Cards|Spell]]" using a mass-text replacer on the ROM before release.
+
===Card text===
−
* You take all the damage from [[Burning Land]].
+
* In both card text and card names, "Magician" has been replaced by "Spellian". This affects cards including "[[Dark Magician (World Championship 2004)|Dark Magician]]", "[[Magician of Black Chaos (World Championship 2004)|Magician of Black Chaos]]", and "[[Dark Magician Girl (World Championship 2004)|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.
−
* 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.
+
 
−
* Also the computer can't activate many cards.
+
===Card effects===
−
* The the computer can't chain your cards. But only Jar of Greed, Magic Jammer, and Royal Decree.
+
* 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 Haunted (World Championship 2004)|Call Of The Haunted]]" during your opponent's [[End Phase]].
−
# Sometimes the AI shows signs of "knowing" face down card
+
 
 +
* 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 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 "[[Red-Moon Baby (World Championship 2004)|Red-Moon Baby]]" are glitched.
  
−
==Game Speed==
+
* Despite the text of "[[Spellbinding Circle (World Championship 2004)|Spellbinding Circle]]" saying otherwise, if the targeted monster is [[Tribute]]d, "Spellbinding Circle" is destroyed.
−
The speed of Gameplay is relatively slow compared to previous Yu-Gi-Oh! games. But gameplay can be sped up to match previous games, by holding '''L''' while dueling or just hold '''L''' while chosing an opponent.
 
  
−
==Promotional Cards==
+
* If "[[Spirit Reaper (World Championship 2004)|Spirit Reaper]]" is targeted by an [[Equip Spell]], only the Spell is destroyed.
−
:''Main article: [[World Championship 2004 Promos]]''
 
  
−
The following cards were included in the North American version of this game:
+
* 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.
−
* [[WC4-001]] [[Fairy King Truesdale]]
 
−
* [[WC4-002]] [[Kinetic Soldier]]
 
−
* [[WC4-003]] [[Slate Warrior]]
 
  
−
The European and Australian versions of this game included the following cards:
+
* When you activate "Call Of The Haunted" during your own [[Battle Phase]] while your opponent has no monsters, the Summoned monster attacks automatically.
−
* [[WC4-E001]] [[Valkyrion the Magna Warrior]]
 
−
* [[WC4-E002]] [[Sinister Serpent]]
 
−
* [[WC4-E003]] [[Harpie's Feather Duster]]
 
  
−
==Decks==
+
* 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]]".
−
<u>Normal Monsters</u>
+
 
−
* [[Akihiron]]
+
* The opponent can pay [[LP]] for "[[Chain Energy (World Championship 2004)|Chain Energy]]" even if it reduces them to zero.
−
* [[Ancient Tool]]
+
 
−
* [[Blocker]]

* The opponent doesn't pay for "Chain Energy" when playing a card that destroys it like "[[Heavy Storm (World Championship 2004)|Heavy Storm]]"
−
* [[Cyber-Tech Alligator]] x2
+
 
−
* [[Dokuroizo the Grim Reaper]]
+
* In the following situation, 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]]".
−
* [[Gaia the Fierce Knight]]
+
 
−
* [[Guardian of the Throne Room]] x2
+
* When "[[Zombyra the Dark (World Championship 2004)|Zombyra the Dark]]" is removed from the field by the effect of a "[[Cyber 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==
−
* [[Mechanicalchaser]] x2
+
* The AI:
−
* [[Oni Tank T-34]] x2
+
** Shows signs of "knowing" face-down cards, i.e. it never attacks a Set monster if it has higher DEF than its monster's ATK.
−
* [[Overdrive]] x3
+
** 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.
−
* [[Pendulum Machine]] x2
+
** Will [[Normal Summon]] "[[Slate Warrior (World Championship 2004)|Slate Warrior]]" in [[Attack Position]] and attack on the same [[turn]], even if your monster has an equal ATK.
−
* [[Shovel Crusher]]
+
** 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.
−
* [[Slot Machine]]
+
** 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.
−
* [[Zoa]]
+
** 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.

Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004, known in Japan as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Expert 3 (遊（ゆう）☆戯（ぎ）☆王（おう）デュエルモンスターズ エキスパート３（スリー） Yugiō Dyueru Monsutāzu: Ekisupāto Surī), is a video game based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise released on the Game Boy Advance.

In the game, the player can assemble three Decks and can play Duel Monsters against a variety of computer opponents.

The game features 1,138 cards (201 Spells, 109 Traps, 55 Fusion Monsters, 16 Ritual Monsters, 224 Effect Monsters and 533 Normal Monsters). "Dark Magician" and "Polymerization" can be collected in two different artworks, counting as different cards.

Changes since Stairway to the Destined Duel[edit]

The following changes were made since Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel:

General

  • Players can have three Decks.
  • Passwords have been removed.
  • No games are played as Matches. As such, the Side Deck has 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.
  • Opponents have on-screen numbering.
  • A Deck theme is displayed for each opponent.
  • Opponents are given scores from 1 to 5 for "Attack", "Defense", "Strategy", "Intellect" and "Luck"

Cards

  • On-screen numbering is re-introduced.
  • Monster Tokens and the cards that Summon them have been removed.

Deck edit

  • Cards can be filtered by Level group (1–4, 5–6, 7+).
  • Cards can be ordered by category (frame color).

Campaign[edit]

Opponents[edit]

Main article: Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 Opponents
See also: Portal:Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 characters

There are 28 opponents in the game. Each opponent has different skills and Decks revolving around a certain theme (Yugi Muto = Basic, Rare Hunter = Exodia, Yami Yugi = Ultimate, etc.).

There is no conversation when beginning a Duel with the game beginning immediately after selecting the opponent.

The speed of play is slow but can be sped up by holding L while Dueling or just hold L while choosing an opponent.

The weaker opposing Decks are full of junk monsters that aren't worth battling like "Winged Cleaver". The stronger opposing Decks (Level Four and above) 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 "Gravity Bind" can make winning very simple.

Edit Deck menu[edit]

The number of total cards shown in the top bar is not the number of different cards collected so far. It really means the total number of all cards you have. The other numbers in the sub categories only refer to the number of cards in the Deck you currently use.

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) DEF 3) ATK). There is no useful sorting criteria for Spells and Traps other than "name".

For faster scrolling through the card list, push the left/right-button. You will jump to the next 4 cards. For even faster scrolling, hold the B-button and press up/down.

You start the game with 120 random cards. The default Deck can be optimized right away with other cards in your trunk in most cases.

There are cards which are Limited or Semi-Limited. These limitations do not apply to opponents.

Initial Deck[edit]

Packs[edit]

Main article: 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 of their existing cards.

Limited list[edit]

Limited[edit]

Semi-Limited[edit]

Glitches[edit]

Card text[edit]

  • In both card text and card names, "Magician" has been replaced by "Spellian". This affects cards including "Dark Magician", "Magician of Black Chaos", and "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 effects[edit]

  • 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 Haunted" during your opponent's End Phase.
  • "Axe of Despair" is not placed on top of your Deck even if you have offered a monster for its effect.
  • Terrain bonuses sometimes do not benefit the player but do always benefit the 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. Its effect will still deactivate if another Field Spell is activated.
  • Your monster is destroyed even if you chain "Book of Moon" to your opponent's "Trap Hole".
  • Monsters gained through the effects of "Red-Moon Baby" are glitched.
  • When you activate "Call Of The Haunted" during your own Battle Phase while your opponent has no monsters, the Summoned monster attacks automatically.
  • The opponent can pay LP for "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"
  • When "Zombyra the Dark" is removed from the field by the effect of a "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[edit]

  • The AI:
    • Shows signs of "knowing" face-down 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 "Slate Warrior" in Attack Position and attack on the 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") when it has a monster with a piercing effect.
    • Activates Spells and Traps like normal even while "Imperial Order" or "Royal Decree" are in play, each card activated being negated as normal.
    • Doesn't use its "Mirror Force" as long as it has "Fairy Box" in play.
    • Sometimes only returns 1 of the opponent's monsters to their hand using "Penguin Soldier"
    • Sometimes uses its "Mystical Space Typhoon" on its own cards.
    • Always Tribute Summons, 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-down Flip effect monsters without Flip Summoning first.
    • Activates "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-up opponent's "Black Pendant" while having less than 500 LP.
    • Never activates "Snatch Steal" despite having it in hand.
    • Often gets the correct outcome when it activates the effect of "Time Wizard".
    • Uses "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 monsters 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.
