Gameplay (Battle Brawlers)

Game[edit]

The game developed by Sega Toys and Spin Master and released in conjunction with the Anime series. The game uses metal cards and magnetic spring-loaded miniature figures, representing the Bakugan. The objective of the game is to capture three of the opponent's Gate Cards (4 battles).[1] Battle is engaged when rolled Bakugan magnetically pop open on the same Gate Card. G-Power from the Bakugan, Ability Cards (at player's option), and Gate Card are summed to determine the battle's winner.
