'''Gate Cards''' are the playing surface used for the original [[Bakugan]] [[Gameplay|game]]. The cards contain a magnetic plate in their middle which triggers the [[Bakugan]] rolled onto them to open ("[[Stand]]").
==Battle Brawlers==
Gate Cards (Series 2 rules) come in three colors:
* '''[[Gold Gate Cards|Gold]]:''' Provide additional bonuses based on type of [[Bakugan]]. They replaced the original Character cards.
In [[Bakugan Dimensions]], Gate Cards are special Moves that set special conditions over the field. They dispel any Gate Cards before it when played and usually last about as long as the typical defense. (Darkus Gates are an exception to this rule as they will only dispel non-Darkus Gate in play, rather than dispel all Gates period. This means you can have multiple Darkus Gates in play at once.)
==Battle Planet==
Gate Cards are omitted from the rebooted card game, which functions as a more traditional trading card game, in favor of [[BakuCores]]. However, in the second season, ''[[Bakugan: Armored Alliance]]'', the majority of products include a [[Gate Trainer]], which is not used in the game and is instead used for practicing trick shots. Each Gate Trainer has artwork of one of the [[Awesome Ones]] on the back. The primary reason for the inclusion of the Gate Trainers is to prevent the actual cards from being bent or otherwise damaged in the packaging.
