'''Special Attack''' Bakugan, later known as '''Super Assault''' Bakugan was a Bakugan series with special features ranging from spinning to double sided to heavy metal, sold at a higher price than normal Bakugan. They are considered a type of [[Special Treatment]]. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160307195748/http://www.bakugan.com/gameplay/faqs "A Special Treatment Bakugan is any Bakugan that doesn't look like a normal Bakugan that use non-standard plastic OR it is any Bakugan that has a special feature. So, that would include Bakugan like; Pearl, Translucent, Dual Attribute, Heavy Metal, Clear and anything sold in the "Special Attack" packages."]</ref>

==Variations==
*'''[[Heavy Metal]]''': Have a chrome metal band around the middle of a [[Bakugan]], designed for extra stability.
*'''[[Spin Top Bakugan]]'''/'''BakuCyclone''': Have a winding mechanism, top half of the Bakugan spins when opened, designed for knocking other Bakugan off the card. This type of Bakugan usually opens up without being set on a metal [[Gate Card]].
*'''Element/[[G-Power]] Change''': Have a wheel, which rotates when opened. Have three printed attribute symbols and G-powers on wheel. The [[Attribute]]/[[G-Power]] is then changed to that shown on wheel.
*'''Jumping/Boost''': Have a small protruding spot on the bottom of the Bakugan, designed to hop when rolled.
*'''Turbine'''/'''BakuZoon''': Have a small gyroscope in the middle of the ball, a ripcord is used to spin the gyro, which the Bakugan will roll automatically when placed on a flat surface.
*'''Light Up'''/'''BakuBolt''': The Bakugan lights up, usually with red light.
*'''Dice Thrower''': When the Bakugan opens it throws a die that determines its attribute or G-Power.
*'''BakuTremor''': May be winded up to vibrate on open.
*'''BakuVice''': Bakugan with stronger springs
*{{Nihongo|'''Double Magnet System'''|ダブルマグネットシステム|Daburu Magunetto Shisutemu}}:<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130709042427/http://www.bakugan.jp/blog/?p=23256 Blog post from the old Japanese Bakugan site]</ref> The Bakugan has two opening positions in the same pod with separate magnets, thus having twice the chance of standing.

==Unreleased Special Attacks==
[[Meta Dragonoid]], [[Iron Dragonoid]], [[Mutant Elfin]], [[Flash Ingram]], and [[Cyclone Percival]] were planned Special Attacks in ''[[Bakugan: New Vestroia]]'', but never saw release during that season. Evidence for this is [[1-7sa|their respective Ability Cards]], that were shown during the season but never released, as well as them appearing on one of late checklist posters. Instead, they were released in ''[[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]]''. [[Flare Wilda]] was also never released.

==Non-SA Special Feature Bakugan==
Starting from [[Gundalian Invaders]], some Bakugan with special features were sold just as a [[Special Treatment]], instead of Super Assault, as well as all [[Mechtanium Surge]] except [[Baku Sky Raider|Sky Raiders]], which got their own branding. It was done due to those Bakugan not being too expensive to produce, and were sold alongside Core Bakugan in [[Booster Pack (Toy product) |Booster]], [[Starter Pack]] and other packs.

==Trivia==
*Special Attack Bakugan from [[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]] Anime released after [[Series 1]] are actually part of [[Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia|New Vestroia]] toyline, specifically [[BakuNeon]] wave.
*In Japan, Special Attack Bakugan at one point were transformed into [[BakuTech]], product line of special feature Bakugan to later become separate series with its own character and continuity.
*In New Vestroia, all Special Attack except for Heavy Metal and Attribute Change ones seen in Anime were also released as [[Core Bakugan|Core]] Bakugan, likely to make those Bakugan affordable to more people and boost sales this way. Some examples of such treatment are [[Neo Dragonoid (Generation 1)|Neo Dragonoid]], [[Cyborg Helios]] and [[Hades]].
*Despite Special Attack usually being released in only normal color, there were occasions when they got [[Special Treatment]] coloring. Examples of that are [[Series 1]] Special Attack packs having exclusively special coloring, as well as [[Elfin]] and [[Preyas]] in [[Bakugan Brawler Evolution Packs]]. [[Skyress]] also was pretty frequently getting Special Treatment coloring due to often being packed as Core Bakugan.
