A '''Penalty Game''' ({{Ruby|罰|ばつ}}ゲーム, ''Batsu Gēmu'') is a punishment given to someone who loses or cheats in a [[Shadow Game (manga)|Shadow Game]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga]]. This is the original version of the [[Penalty Game]] concept.

A '''Penalty Game''' is a punishment given to someone who either loses or cheats in a [[Shadow Game]]. [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Item]] holders are capable of inflicting supernatural punishments.

Penalty Games played an important part in early [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga]] storylines, but are used much less frequently after [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] stopped using them, after which they were exclusively used by villains. The [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Toei anime)|Toei anime]] toned down the fatality of a number of Penalty Games, making some merely illusions.

[[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]]'s Penalty Games often act as poetic justice to a person, who trespassed on the souls of his friends, and for their own history of committing crimes and evils onto others. While some of these penalties are fatal, he has used them to help the person at times; The [[Mind Crush (Penalty Game)|Mind Crush]] Penalty Game was used to shatter [[Seto Kaiba]]'s tainted heart, so he could be given a chance to piece it together in order to become a good person again. While Penalty Games used illusions and magic on the loser's psyche and soul, some of the dangerous games played would merely boast devastating losses on their own even without the need of such powers.

[[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]]'s ([[Yami Yugi]]'s) Penalty Games often act as poetic justice to a person, who trespassed on the souls of his friends, and for their own history of committing crimes and evils onto others. While some of these penalties are fatal, he has used them to help the person at times; The [[Mind Crush (Penalty Game)|Mind Crush]] Penalty Game was used to shatter [[Seto Kaiba]]'s tainted heart, so he could be given a chance to piece it together in order to become a good person again. While Penalty Games used illusions and magic on the loser's psyche and soul, some of the dangerous games played would merely boast devastating losses on their own even without the need of such powers.  
  
A variety of different Penalty Games were used during [[Duelist Kingdom (manga)|Duelist Kingdom]]. Dark Yugi stopped using them after the defeat of [[Maximillion J. Pegasus (manga)|Maximillion J. Pegasus]], because it would have proven that the Millennium Items indeed had an evil will. <ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|74|ref}}</ref>
+
In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|NAS anime]], Mind Crush is the only Penalty Game shown to be used. Aside from sealing away Kaiba's evil side (instead of shattering his heart into fragments and turning it into a puzzle like in the manga), it has also been used to kill [[Ghost Kaiba]] (a shape-shifter that was hired by [[Maximillion Pegasus]] as a Player Killer), [[PaniK]], and rendered a mugger unconscious (the game in which the mugger lost was to draw a card, and whichever card is the strongest wins). In the Japanese version, these three victims disappear off the land or be in a state of unconsciousness, or in the dub, banished to the Shadow Realm. During this time, Dark Yugi wasn't that different from Dark Bakura or Dark Marik, aside from the fact that he used his shadow magic to defend the honor of his friends and wasn't just banishing people for fun or to gain power. The Mind Crush has not been used since PaniK, or seen since the flashback with the mugger, with no real explanation in the anime whereas an explanation was present in the manga. In anime terms, this is probably because Dark Yugi was beginning to learn compassion and kindness from Yugi and started learning how to beat his enemies without intimidating them with the use of Shadow Games and Penalty Games. So, theoretically, if people like Dark Bakura and Dark Marik had a similar relationship that Dark Yugi had with Yugi, they too would go through that kind of epiphany.
 +
 
 +
In the manga, a variety of different Penalty Games were used during [[Duelist Kingdom (manga)|Duelist Kingdom]] not unlike the previous chapters. Unlike the anime in which no explanation is given, Dark Yugi decides to stop using them after the defeat of [[Maximillion Pegasus (manga)|Pegasus]], because it would have proven that the Millennium Items indeed had an evil will. <ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|74|ref}}</ref>
 +
 
 +
Three of Dark Yugi's Penalty Games have cards based on them, which were released in ''[[Soul of the Duelist]]''. These are "[[Greed]]", "[[Mind Crush]]" and "[[Mind on Air]]".

Upon the last game with Dark Yugi, Imori lost and his soul was consumed as punishment for unsealing the evil game and desiring to usurp Yugi's position as the Guardian of Darkness for his own ends.

In the Toei anime, [[Imori (Toei)|Imori]]'s soul was spared; instead his dark side, unleashed by the [[Dragon Block]], was consumed and destroyed by the dragons. Also, each player had to set a "base" in the real world, which suffered an earthquake when they lost. Yugi's shadow games saw Imori placing his "base" in the ocean, so there was no damage afterwards.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! (Toei anime)|18|ref}}</ref>

| Following his brief rose-picking game with [[Kaoruko Himekoji]], Dark Yugi causes the remaining flower in Himekoji's hand to wither. Upon noticing the flower, Himekoji sees her skin has become wrinkly– her ultimate fear. Upon examining her reflection in the mirror, she sees that she has become wrinkled and aged. Snakes wrap around her wrists to entangle her as Dark Yugi leaves. In reality, Himekoji is merely hypnotized, and the "snakes" are actually ropes tied to buckets of water, which she dumps on herself in front of the whole school.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

| After winning both of his pendulum-clock-stop games against the watch-obsessed [[Shotaro Akaboshi]], Yami Yugi inflicts this grisly punishment. Looking into the open wound inflicted by the pendulum, Shotaro is made to believe that clock parts are inside of his arm, and rolls down his sleeves to reveal that his body is fused with his beloved Swiss watches. As he pleads for help, his eyes are revealed to now be clock faces. All of this is an illusion, and in reality Shotaro returns home to mindlessly destroy his watch collection in silence. <ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

The hourglass floating in a sort of limbo with various casino gambling devices floating around it, reflecting Mai's previous occupation as a casino dealer.

In the anime, Mai's punishment in the hourglass follows the same general outline, but undergoes several major changes. The insects are replaced with sand and her time to live is extended. In addition, the hourglass is floating above a beach where Mai's friends are enjoying themselves—seemingly forgetting her—as part of Marik's ploy to add insult to injury. The English dub also states the hourglass exists in the [[Shadow Realm]].
 +
 +
After [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Yami Yugi]] defeats Dark Marik in the finals, Mai was saved just before her mind was consumed. In the anime, Mai was traumatized by her time in the Penalty Game, and it took [[Yu-Gi-Oh! episode listing (season 4)|many trials]] for her to find herself anew.
