'''''Bakugan Dimensions''''' was a beta [[wikipedia:Massively multiplayer online role-playing game|MMORPG]] created by [[Spin Master]] that ran between June 1, 2010&ndash;June 30, 2011. It allowed players to create avatars, explore the game's world, and use [[Bakugan]] (either provided in-game or purchased in real life) to brawl non-playable characters and other players. It contained characters from ''[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]]'', though the game was largely set independent of the game's timeline.

To get a Bakugan, a DNA Code found on [[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders|Gundalian Invaders]] [[Bakugan]] or [[Mechtanium Surge]] [[Bakugan]], was needed. It was a real life simulation of [[Marucho|Marucho's]] [[Bakugan Interspace]] in the anime. To begin playing the game, you were supplied with three default [[Bakugan]] in the [[attribute]] you chose upon setting up an account and an avatar. These three [[Bakugan]] did not gain experience and levels as quickly, but could be used without making any purchases. It was shut down on June 30, 2011; this was when [[Mechtanium Surge]] was thought to have 26 episodes, therefore finishing around the same time.

== Background==

[[Bakugan]] Dimensions is a free online world for PC, where people from all around the world battle, collect Bakugan and battle with other gamers. It resembles Marucho's Bakugan Interspace (Episode: [[Virtual Insanity]]), which is the setting of the new TV season for Bakugan, "[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]]." New Season 3 and [[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge|Season 4]] Bakugan have a heat-reveal DNA Code that can be entered to upload the exact Bakugan to the game. New [[Battle Gear]], [[BakuNano]], [[Mechtogan]] and [[Mechtogan Titan]]s also have a [[DNA Code]] to enter. Players can make their own avatar, which moves around in the online world. You need to make a username and password, and if the user is under 13, a parent needs to make an account and verify the child account. New [[BakuCoins]], found in Season 3 packages of [[Bakumorph]], Card Boosters and [[Deka Bakugan ]](larger sized Bakugan), also have a code to enter online to redeem for online [[BakuCoin]] value. Sometimes when you play it takes a long time to load.

You can enter a [[DNA Code]] found on any [[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]] or [[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge]] [[Bakugan]] to reveal a monstrous creature. You can enter the 10-digit DNA Code into any designated DNA Console. There is also a special 3-digit code, that you can find on BakuMeters that gives your avatar a BakuMeter and some [[Clear]] [[Bakugan]]. All [[Bakugan]] entered start out at 400 [[Gs]], and Colossus Bakugan start out at 650 [[Gs]]. At the beginning of the game, you get three [[Bakugan]] from the [[Attribute]] of your choice. These have 300 [[Gs]]. For each DNA Code entered for a [[Bakugan]] already owned in the game, it will gain 25 [[Gs]]. Some [[Mechtanium Surge]] wave 2 [[Bakugan]] did not have codes though. However, DNA Codes can only be used once. If you enter a pre-released [[Bakugan]], you will receive [[BakuCoins]] unless [[SpinMaster]] entered the code into the system.

Production
Release date June 1, 2010–June 30, 2011
Genre MMORPG
Platform PC

Bakugan Dimensions was a beta MMORPG created by Spin Master that ran between June 1, 2010–June 30, 2011. It allowed players to create avatars, explore the game's world, and use Bakugan (either provided in-game or purchased in real life) to brawl non-playable characters and other players. It contained characters from Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders, though the game was largely set independent of the game's timeline.

At the beginning of the game, after the character creation menu, players were supplied with three default Bakugan in their chosen attribute. They did not gain experience and levels as quickly, but could be used without making any purchases. To acquire additional Bakugan, DNA Codes found on real-life Gundalian Invaders and Mechtanium Surge Bakugan toys could be input into the game to acquire their game versions.

Areas

Bakugan Dimensions mainly had the players stay in Bayview. Players could travel around by clicking their mouse on their destination, or using the Arrow Keys. To travel to a different area, a player would click on the map. There are five main areas:

  • The School: Contained a courtyard, Leader Board, DNA console, and access to Bakugan Interspace. There were plenty of NPC brawlers you could challenge as well.
  • The Park: Contained three DNA consoles (one by the Sewers, one by the house and one at the square), one Leader Board, and the Sewers.
  • Downtown: Contained two Clothing Stores, a Dojo, a portal to Neathia, a Hair Salon, the Gear Shop, one DNA console, and one Leader Board.
    • In the Downtown Plaza, every Thursday on the Avior Server, BrightLight and one Guest GM brawler would randomly pick brawlers that were in the plaza to brawl them. Those who lost would receive a Special Track jacket, while those who won would get both the jacket and an in-game Clear Avior.
  • The Residential: The smallest part of Bayview, with only two NPCs there, one being Dan Kuso.
  • Neathia: To get to Neathia, you had to enter Downtown and find the Portal in the Bakugan Interspace Plaza. In Neathia, there were a number of NPCs, including Dan, Fabia, Queen Serena, and the Gundalians.
  • Bakugan Interspace: To get to Interspace, you clicked on the Internet Terminal at The School (next to the DNA console), and clicked: "Log in to Interspace". Interspace contained a Plaza and the Stadium. Interspace had a lot of NPCs, mainly Shun Kazami, Marucho Marukura and Lord Darkus.

Entering DNA Codes

At the in-game DNA consoles, entering the 10-digit DNA Codes found on Gundalian Invaders or Mechtanium Surge Bakugan would add them to your in-game collection. The special 3-digit codes found on BakuMeters would give your avatar a BakuMeter accessory and some Clear Bakugan. All Bakugan entered started out with 400 Gs, with the exception of Colossus Bakugan which started out with 650.

For each DNA Code entered for a Bakugan already owned in-game, it would gain 25 Gs. If you entered a pre-released Bakugan, you will receive BakuCoins unless Spin Master entered the code into the system.
