'''Gate Cards''', formerly '''Gateway Cards'''{{No Source}}, are the playing surface used for [[Bakugan]] [[Bakugan Wiki:How to Play (Legacy)|game]]. The cards contain a magnetic plate in their middle which triggers the [[Bakugan]] rolled onto them to open ("[[Stand]]").
==Battle BrawlersHSP Board Game==Originally, Gate Cards appeared in the HSP format, presented in 4 main types:* '''[[Normal_Card|Normal Gate Card]]''' - Those gate cards only modified power of your bakugan, without doing anything else. Usually had around 250-400 HSP;* '''[[Character Card]]''' - Just like the normal cards, those did provide extra power to bakugan of the specific type, while having lower HSP value - from 150 to 250;* '''[[Command Card]]''' - Similarly to the character cards, Command Cards gave extra power and had other feature, this time being unique to each card effect, that could've turn the game into an unexpected path. Had HSP value between normal and character cards - 200 or 250;* '''[[Special Ability Card]]''' - The most powerful, but least valuable cards. Unlike any other cards, they only have effect, that may change the game entirely, like reviving lost bakugan, freeze the battle or make enemy return gate cards they won to the field. Those cards never had more more than 150 HSP. ==Legacy Board Game==
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 Card]]s.
Gate Cards have one of their Gate bonuses circled with a bright yellow marking. This is called the "Highlighted Gate bonus". If a player is using a [[Pearl]] or [[BakuFrost]] Bakugan, they may choose to take the Highlighted Gate bonus instead of their Bakugan's normal Attribute bonus. Additionally, the Bakugan [[White Naga]] always takes the Highlighted Gate bonus, as it has no inherent Attribute. The Highlighted Gate bonus provides no other extra effects. <ref>"The highlighted (or glowing) attribute is used for White Naga and Pearl Bakugan. White Naga uses the highlighted G-Power Gate bonus to determine its Attribute. Pearl Bakugan can either take on their regular G-Power bonus on a Gate Card OR the highlighted Gate bonus… whichever one you decide!" - "Bakugan Rules and Information" on Bakugan.com at March 31, 2010</ref>
