Yu-Gi-Oh: The Sacred Cards is a Game Boy Advance video game made by Konami based on the Battle City arc of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga and anime. The plot itself is more or less a Self-Insert Fic of the Battle City arc, with the player character replacing Yugi as the main protagonist. Yugi himself does appear in the game, albeit with a much smaller role.The game uses unique rules only vaguely similar to the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, implementing the early manga and anime's field power bonuses and unique monster effects. The game runs off the basic rule-set used in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories, with most of the quirks in between like monsters behaving very differently from the real-life card game and an Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors system that bypasses the stats of battling monsters.The game also has a deck capacity limit in order to keep players from adding a bunch of game-breaking monsters to their deck and breezing through the entire game, so grinding will be required at certain points throughout the game. The game got a direct sequel in Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, which is much, much more difficult. | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: Very common in duels. Spell cards, traps cards and monster effects are all fairly limited, so most of the time, whoever gets a steady lineup of high-offensive monsters going early on is likely to win. | |

Break the Haughty: Throughout the game, Mokuba comes off as a bratty, unsympathetic jerk who idolizes his brother and mocks you as being seemingly weaker than him. But when Marik beats his brother in a duel and takes his soul, Mokuba is left horrified and shaken. He later begs you to beat Marik for the sake of his brother. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Egyptian God Cards. Once they're on the field, you have essentially won, but once you're doing well enough to have enough tributes to summon them, you could probably have won without them. This is averted in the sequel, where the difficulty of the game is so high that you really need the God Cards. Ritual Monsters in this game. You need a certain monster, two other monsters, and the appropriate Spell Card. That's four cards, two of which have to be played together. If you get them out, the balance quickly shifts into your favor since Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors can't kill a Ritual monster as they are all Divine-class and most of them have a lot of ATK. | |

Butterfly of Doom | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_2ec219ee | comment |
Butterfly of Doom: The player character takes over a bulk of the main plot, which surprisingly results in a lot of negative repercussions for the main manga cast. Most notably... The death-duel between the mind-controlled Joey and Yugi has Yugi outright losing, forcing the player to jump in and save him before dueling Joey themselves. Joey ends up in Mai's shoes during the tournament finals, while Mai duels Kaiba and loses, but is otherwise fine. Kaiba ends up joining Joey shortly after when he duels Yami Marik in the semi-finals, since the player duels the Pharaoh in the semi-finals instead. Kaiba doesn't get Obelisk before the start of the tournament, and instead the player character gets it for beating him in a duel while the tournament is already running. This further leads to the player character willingly giving the God Cards to Ishizu in the end, since Kaiba can't pull a Screw Destiny to duel her for them. | |

Butt-Monkey: Joey. He gets his butt kicked most of the time, all of the strong opponents he faced in the canon story are facing the player instead, meaning there's no way to gauge Joey's growth as a duelist other than the fact that he made it to the finals. He gets kidnapped and brainwashed by Marik, succeeds in Yugi getting pulled into the sea, and then he gets defeated by the player. In the finals, Joey gets defeated by Yami Marik in the first round of the finals and falls into a coma a la Mai Valentine. | |

Infinity -1 Sword | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_480c69ba | comment |
Infinity -1 Sword: Most monsters that only require one tribute to summon. They usually don't have any game breaking ATK or all that flashy, but are much, ''much'' easier to get on the field. Elemental wise, there's Shadow. It's weak to Dream, but Dream elemental monsters are so rare that it's possible to go the entire game without seeing one, which means you usually don't have to worry about the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors with Shadow monsters. | |

Level Grinding | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_549cd62d | comment |
Level Grinding: The easiest way to get your level up quickly in the final levels is to stack your deck with Shadow and Fiend monsters when it comes time to duel Ishizu, curbstomp her Light and Dream monsters for 30 deck points and a rare card, then lose to Kaiba on purpose. When you return to the museum you have to start over with Ishizu again, giving you 30 deck points each time. This method was notably Nerfed to the point it's unusable in Reshef of Destruction. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Money for Nothing: You'll earn thousands of Domino from all story important duels, and even the most powerful cards rarely cost more than a thousand bucks. This results in gathering large pools of money without having many cards worth spending it on, especially considering you'll be sticking to one kind of deck for the majority of the game. The Final Boss even grants you half a million Domino when you win, but at that point you aren't allowed to do anything but end the game, so it's essentially a Cosmetic Award. | |

Unending End Card: After beating Yami Marik, the player gives Ishizu the three Egyptian God Cards, returns to Domino City, and then says good-bye to Yugi and Joey. The credits then roll with pictures of each character in the background, before ending on a still shot of Yami Yugi with "The End" in the bottom corner. The player can't exit out of this screen without restarting or turning off the game itself. | |

Balance Buff | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_6e1e24a | comment |
Balance Buff: Ritual Monsters. Despite being largely useless in the TCG at the time, here Ritual Monsters have two major things going for them. Ritual Monsters all have the Divine element, which is immune to the game's Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors, thus you don't have to worry about them being killed by a low level monster. Secondly, the Ritual magic cards all cost 0 deck capacity, meaning they're good for letting you pack in some more hard hitters with high deck capacity costs. This makes Ritual Monsters somewhat worth it to include in a deck, even though they still have the problem of having to draw into them. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: Granted, it's because the player has the option of being nice to some jerks from the manga and doesn't have the same baggage Yugi/Joey would have with the characters. Bonz, Rex Raptor, and even Bandit Keith will admit to supporting the protagonist to make it to the finals if the player is nice to them. | |

Boring Yet Practical: The weaker Tribute monsters for much of the game, since they may only have 1800 ATK for one Tribute, but because of the deck capacity limit, most of your non-tribute monsters will often at best have around 900 ATK. Doron. You start off with one, and it has a low deck capacity cost, and an ATK of 900. More importantly, it has the ability to duplicate itself when played, which is really useful for tribute summons. Later, you can win a Revival Jam, which has the exact same attributes as Doron, but has 600 more ATK at the cost of a bit higher deck capacity limit. The Egyptian God Cards have 0 Deck Cost so anyone at any point of the game can use them. Running them in your Deck also means you have more available Deck Capacity to accommodate a stronger card. Other 0-cost cards exist but Infinite Dismissal and the God Cards are usually the ones that see regular play. As per-usual, magic and trap cards that were staples in the TCG that still have their effects here are just as useful as they were in real life. Pot of Greed, Raigeki, Torrential Tribute, ect, ect... | |

The Unchosen One | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_9f9ef70f | comment |
The Unchosen One: The main character has nothing to do with Marik's plans. The Ghouls aren't targeting you at first, they're targeting everyone in the tournament. Marik is just annoyed that you keep winning. Subverted when Ishizu makes Kaiba and you compete for Obelisk before the finals instead of giving it to him before the tournament begins - and you win it. | |

Ascended Extra: Bandit Keith. While in the anime he was fought and ran off before Battle City even started (and in the original manga, he was killed by Pegasus), here he's a recurring late game boss, and has actual reasons to work for Marik. | |

| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Yugi. A painful example since the story still revolves around Marik seeking the God Cards and destroying Dark Yugi, yet you're the one who faces all the Ghouls/Rare Hunters and Yugi is basically not in the game until the finals begin. Joey, too, since you defeat all of the players that he dueled in the manga/anime. | |

Self-Insert Fic | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_b9d11ad6 | comment |
Self-Insert Fic: The easiest way to sum up the plot is that the player character combines the roles Yugi and Joey played in the manga/anime during the Battle City Tournament arc, with Yugi and Joey themselves basically reduced to supporting characters. | |

Video Game Caring Potential | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_c9861848 | comment |
Video Game Caring Potential: Telling Bandit Keith that it's not hopeless rejuvenates his fighting spirit, and he'll happily face you for tons of money and 10 deck capacity points should you win. Similarly, if you defeat Rex and then answer "no" when he asks if you've come to laugh at him afterward, he will become your friend and duel you in the future, and if you encourage Espa Roba not to give up dueling after you defeat him, he will remain an opponent to re-duel. Inverted with Mako at the Aquarium. If you give him sympathy, he'll feel like he's being condescended to and leave, and you can't duel him again until he appears at the Pier. If you just tell him "tough", he respects your brutal honesty and says it'll inspire him to get stronger, and he'll stay at the Aquarium for you to re-duel until moving to the Pier later. | |

Screw Destiny | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_ce75a983 | comment |
Kaiba doesn't get Obelisk before the start of the tournament, and instead the player character gets it for beating him in a duel while the tournament is already running. This further leads to the player character willingly giving the God Cards to Ishizu in the end, since Kaiba can't pull a Screw Destiny to duel her for them. | |

RPG Elements | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_ebe55efb | comment |
RPG Elements: The game has two such elements to keep the player from stacking their deck with powerful monsters/spells/traps. The deck capacity limit, which you cannot go over and really good monsters usually having high costs, and duelist level, which flat-out prevents the player from adding certain cards to their deck until they're of the appropriate level. Both can be increased by beating people in duels, with plot important characters usually giving higher deck capacity expansions/duelist level increases. | |

Anti-Grinding | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_f11c3835 | comment |
Anti-Grinding: Normal NPCs will only give the player +5 to their deck capacity limit, and duelist level increases are so minuscule that it's not worth grinding them for that. Beating a plot important NPC for the first time increases deck capacity +30 and gives you a hefty duelist level increase, but afterwards they usually will only give you +10 at most and the duelist level increase being as miniscule as fighting non-important NPCs. This is to encourage the player to continue the plot and to build their deck in a way that isn't just stacking high ATK level 4 monsters. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Beating a background character in the park and talking to her again will have her ask if she's weak. You can tell her she is, which will make her quit dueling and give you a The Unhappy Maiden card. After you beat Bandit Keith for the last time, you can find him sulking at the Pier. When you beat him again, he loses all hope and gives up on life, asking you if it's hopeless or not. You can actually tell him that it is hopeless, causing him to leave the warehouse and never return. If you defeat Rex and then answer "yes" when he asks if you've come to laugh at him afterward, he will refuse to duel you ever again, and if you agree that Espa Roba should give up dueling after you defeat him, he will listen to your advice. Inverted with Mako at the Aquarium. If you give him sympathy, he'll feel like he's being condescended to and leave, and you can't duel him again until he appears at the Pier. If you just tell him "tough", he respects your brutal honesty and says it'll inspire him to get stronger, and he'll stay at the Aquarium for you to re-duel until moving to the Pier later. | |
