This article is a guide on How to Play Bakugan 3.0: Toy Battling Game. This version of the game is similar to the original Bakugan game and the Generation 2 Toy Battling Game with several key differencs.

The Bakugan 3.0 Toy Battling Game has several levels of play, in each one the players bring 3 Bakugan figures and 2 Gate Cards. A Starter Pack is the best option for those who want to play the Toy Battling Game.

Level 1

 
An example of a set up map.

The Level 1 or "Beginner Brawler" version of the game is a race to see who can open the most Bakugan first, it is the simplest game mode in the franchise.

"A Bakugan battle is a head to head contest between 2 players. Where each player gets 3 Bakugan figures. The simplest way to play is to see who can roll or spin their Bakugan and transform the most creatures. The player with the most transformations wins!"

Before playing each player needs to bring 3 Bakugan figures, at least one of which must be a rolling Bakugan, and 2 Gate Cards. To set up each player sets their 2 Gate Cards face up to form a 2 by 2 map. Once the map is set up you're ready to begin!

To play each player first selects one of their Bakugan to roll or spin and then they count down "3, 2, 1, Bakugan Brawl!", they then launch their Bakugan simultaneously. The first Bakugan to open wins.

Official sources are unclear on if your Bakugan remains open after winning or how long the game is supposed to last. So we suggest that the Bakugan do remain open after winning and that the game ends after 3 rounds.


Level 2

In the Level 2 or "Intermediate Brawler" version of the game players compete to see who can win 3 rounds first.

"Bakugan battles are won and lost based on score. Every Bakugan comes with a Character Card, and Special Attack figures also come with a Special Attack Card that helps determine score. Your final score depends on your Bakugans Scoring potential and where your Bakugan lands on the Gate Card. To win a the battle you must beat your opponent in a brawl with each of your 3 Bakugan."

Before playing each player needs to bring 3 Bakugan figures, at least one of which must be a rolling Bakugan, The 3 Bakugan's Character Cards, 2 Gate Cards, and the Special Attack Cards of the Special Attack Bottoms you're using if any. To set up each player sets their 2 Gate Cards face up to form a 2 by 2 map, and then sets their Character Cards and any paired Special Attack Cards somewhere they are out of the way of rolling. Once all the cards are set you're ready to begin!

"Each Brawler should place 2 of their Gate Cards face up in the battle area, forming a 2 by 2 grid." "Once you have that done set your 3 Character Cards paired with their Special Attack Cards if necessary, next to the matching toys. Then Brawlers roll or spin their Bakugan onto the magnetic Gate Cards at the same time."

To play each player first selects one of their Bakugan to roll or spin and then they count down "3, 2, 1, Bakugan Brawl!", they then launch their Bakugan simultaneously. If only one Bakugan is standing on a Gate Card the one standing wins. If both Bakugan stand on a Gate Card than you compare scores, the Bakugan with the higher score wins. If neither Bakugan is standing on a Gate Card both players roll or spin again.

A Bakugan's score is based on what scoring zone of the Gate Card they land on. Each Bakugan has 3 scores, Red Power, Green Power, and Blue Power. You determine your Bakugan's score by comparing the zone it is standing on on the Gate Card with the Bakugan's Character Card, Adding the Special Attack Cards score if you used a if your Bakugan has a paired Special Attack Card. The highest score wins the round.

The winning Bakugan remains open and cannot be used again in that battle, while the losing Bakugan is closed and can be used again in future rounds. To win the battle you must win 3 rounds (one with each of your Bakugan).
