'''Gate Cards''', formerly '''Gateway Cards'''{{No Source}}, are the playing surface used for [[Bakugan]] [[Bakugan Wiki:How to Play (LegacyGeneration 1)|game]]. The cards contain a magnetic plate in their middle which triggers the [[Bakugan]] rolled onto them to open ("[[Stand]]").
==Battle BrawlersHSP Game==Originally, Gate Cards appeared in the HSP format, presented in four 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 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.* '''[[Silver Gate Cards|Silver]]:''' Basic Gate Cards. They replaced the original [[Normal Card]]s.* '''[[Copper Gate Cards]] (sometimes called Bronze):''' Gate Cards with unusual abilities. They replaced the original [[Command Card]]s.
Gate Cards give bonus [[G-Power]] to based on their [[Attribute]] ([[Pyrus (Legacy)#Generation 1|Pyrus]], [[Aquos (#Legacy)|Aquos]], [[Subterra]], [[Haos (#Legacy)|Haos]], [[Darkus (#Legacy)|Darkus]] or [[Ventus (#Legacy)|Ventus]]), with one attribute Attribute getting a "highlight bonus".
Cards may be Common or Rare, and there are special cards only available in the Arena product.
===Highlighted Gate Bonus===
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>
==Battle PlanetBakugan Dimensions=={{For|a list of Gate Cards in Armored Alliance|GATE}}Gate Cards are omitted from the rebooted card game, which functions as a more traditional trading card game, in favor of [[BakuCore_(Reboot)|BakuCores]]. However, in the second season, ''In [[Bakugan: Armored AllianceDimensions]]'', the majority of products include a [[Gate Trainer]], which is not used in Cards are special Moves that set special conditions over the game and is instead used for practicing trick shotsfield. Each They dispel any Gate Trainer has artwork of one of the [[Awesome Ones]] on Cards before it when played and usually last about as long as the backtypical defense. The primary reason for the inclusion of the (Darkus Gates are an exception to this rule as they will only dispel non-Darkus Gate Trainers is to prevent the actual cards from being bent or otherwise damaged in the packaging. Midway through the season, the Gate Trainers were replaced with actual Gate Cardsplay, which replace BakuCores in the simpler toy battling game but are still not used in the TCGrather than dispel all Gates period. Gate Cards no longer This means you can have names or effects, and simply feature the faction bonuses and artwork multiple Darkus Gates in the same layout as the legacy seriesplay at once.)
