'''''Bakugan Dimensions''''' was a beta [[wikipedia:Massively multiplayer online role-playing game|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 Code]]s found on real-life Gundalian Invaders and [[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge|Mechtanium Surge]] Bakugan toys could be input into the game to acquire their game versions.

*March 1, 2010: Bakugan.com transitioned into ''Gundalian Invaders'' information, but no news about ''Dimensions'' was announced.*March 5, 2010: A new trailer for ''Dimensions'' was added to the website that talks about it, and the main page stated "Bakugan Dimensions coming soon". Release date announced for March 25.*March 19&ndash;20, 2010: A TV commercial that aired on Cartoon Network, Disney XD, and Nicktoons announced ''Dimensions'' would release April 5 (a roughly two-week delay from March 25), with a contest (30 days of winnings) that would end with ''Dimensions''<nowiki>'</nowiki> release. The contest included many different prizes and a chance at $10,000.*March 29, 2010: The site said "Bakugan Dimensions enters open Beta".*April 5, 2010: ''Dimensions'' was further delayed.*June 1, 2010: ''Bakugan Dimensions'' is finally released.

''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 [[Gundalian]]s.*[[Bakugan Interspace Stadium|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". [[Bakugan 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 [[BakuMeter]]s 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.

Servers were used, as with most MMOs, to prevent overcrowding. The available servers were listed in alphabetical order and were named after Bakugan.

*Avior: The "Brawl with BrightLight" event took place here.

*Dharak: One of the most popular servers during the game's duration.

*Helix Dragonoid

*Strikeflier: Official Spin Master tournaments took place here.
