Speed Play: How to Battle

Speed Play is a fast-paced way to enjoy Bakugan battles. Here's how to get started:

1. Step 1: Place a Card

   Put one Bakugan card face down in the center of the play area. These cards represent the battle arena and have various G Power values, such as 300, 150, 250, -100, 50, and a special 200 value card.

2. Step 2: Take Turns Shooting

   Players take turns shooting their Bakugans towards the center card. Bakugans should be shot from approximately 2 card lengths away.

3. Step 3: Bakugan Battle!

   When any two Bakugans "Stand" (land successfully) on the card, they engage in battle. The card has a "Sector Side" and a "HoloSector Side".

The objective is to "Brawl for the card!"

⚠️ CAUTION: This game requires nerves of steel!

G Power and G Power Boost: Each Bakugan has a base G Power. Some cards or abilities provide a "G Power BOOST". These are added together to determine the Total G-Power for the battle. For example: 350 (G Power) + 150 (G Power Boost) = 500 Total G-Power.

Special commands may need to be followed during gameplay.

"To the victor goes the spoils!" – The winner of a battle captures the card and the defeated Bakugan.

Arena Play: Setup and Gameplay

PREPARE

1. Starting Setup: All players begin with the same number of cards and Bakugans. The minimum is 3 of each. There is no maximum, but only one Special Ability card is allowed per player.
2. Placing Cards: All players lay one card face down, farthest away from themselves. Players should arrange themselves around the play area (e.g., Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4). Cards should be placed farthest from the player, with play proceeding counter-clockwise, starting with the youngest player. Cards must be shot from 2 card lengths away.
3. Card Placement Rules: Each card you lay down must touch other cards on one full side.
4. First Card Restriction: Your first card played may NOT be a Special Ability Card.

BRAWL

Shoot a Bakugan!

• STAND: If two Bakugans land on the card, they do battle. If both Bakugans are yours, you automatically win the round.
• MISS: If your Bakugan misses, keep your Bakugan. You may lay down one more card if you have one available.

Critical KO! ? If your Bakugan knocks a standing Bakugan off a card AND remains STANDING on that same card, you win the BRAWL!

HEAD-TO-HEAD

? When only two players battle, each player places two cards down to form the field, resulting in 4 cards total.

CALLING STAY

? STAY can only be called when you have NO Bakugans to shoot. To call "STAY", choose a Bakugan STANDING on a card. If no other Bakugan STANDS on that card during the round, you capture the card AND win back your Bakugan.

VICTORY

1. The game ends when all the cards have been captured OR when only one player has Bakugans left to shoot.
2. Count up your HSP Points. Add up your Bakugans' HSP and your Captured Cards' HSP. (See other side for details).
3. The player with the highest HSP wins the game!

A TIE IN BATTLE: SUDDEN FURY

If a battle results in a tie:

1. Both players take back their Bakugans.
2. Turn the card HoloSector Side UP.
3. Then... Sudden Fury! Each player shoots again.

• Both Miss: The card stays, and players shoot again.
• One Stands: That player wins the Battle.
• Both Stand: Sudden Fury AGAIN!
