Generation 1

Battle Brawlers

Card 5L NA Details
High Voltage     Illustration error: Garganoid is mistakenly depicted with three arms.
Lightwind Color Shift     The real-life version of the card has a different background

New Vestroia

Card 5L NA Details
Field of Flames
Field of Dread
 
 
 
 
The European version of Field of Dread is a direct copy of Field of Flames, with only the art replaced. This suggests the designer likely reused the previous card’s template without updating the layers.
Death From Above     The European version uses the effect text from the card Poison Sting.
Reverse Polarity     The European version, the bonus is incorrectly assigned to Hylash instead of Carlsnaut. Likely due to a translator confusing the two Bakugan.
Serpent Snare     The European version, the bonus is incorrectly assigned to Serpenoid instead of Pythantus. Likely due to a translator confusing the two Bakugan.
Atlantic Arena     It seems that the final card didn’t turn out as originally intended. Specifically, the background appears to be a heavily zoomed-in fragment of what was likely meant to be the full background.
Scraper (Card)     Three different images of Scraper are layered on top of each other in the same spot.
Needle's Eye     The American version of the card has a 'broken' condition — it doesn’t specify whether the lowest G-Power refers to the total or the printed value.While the European version clearly states that it is the printed one.
Flash Hurricane     Card name is shortened to just "Hurricane" instead of full name.
Limbo Gate     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.
Short Fuse     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.
Gloomicron     There exists a misprint of "Gloomicron" with the name "Oomicron", as well as "Goomicron".
Adamantine Seal     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.
Titanium Seal     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.
Carbon Seal     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.

Gundalian Invaders

Card 6L NA Details
Rickety Bridge     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.
Fully Prepared     The condition on a misprinted card says "Equipment gear" instead of the correct "Bronze gear".
Armor Pierce     The card requires a Gold Gear in its effect, but it shows a Silver Gear icon .
The Doom Trick     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.
Reinforced Wind     The condition on a misprinted card says "Vehicle gear" instead of the correct "Copper gear".
Fire Dodge     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one.
Step-Up G-Power     EU version: effect text is lazily written.
Dark Earth     EU version: the Attribute bonus   is listed as 5, which is unusually low and likely meant to be 50 — possibly a missing zero.

The American version of the card has a 'broken' condition — it doesn’t specify whether the lowest G-Power refers to the total or the printed value. Meanwhile, the European version has a completely different condition. It doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.

Calming Earth     The American version of the card has a "broken" condition — it doesn’t specify whether it refers to the lowest total G-Power or the printed one. The European version doesn’t clarify the situation either, so the card is considered broken.
Boomix (Card)     6L version requires   or  , while NA version requires   or  .

Mechtanium Surge

Card 6L NA Details
Predictable Muck     Image error: art is reused from a different (previous) card Dark Side .
Hammer Relic     Printing error: the European card mistakenly shows  . Interestingly, the previous card Naval Relic also had Power Level 2, suggesting that the designer may have copied the template without disabling the layer from the earlier card.
Tourney Field 5     Incorrect Aquos symbol. It should look like this  .
Tourney Field 6     Incorrect Aquos symbol. It should look like this  .
Steam Tower     Incorrect Aquos symbol. It should look like this  .
