Bakuten Shoot Beyblade - Gekitou! Saikyou Blader

Gekitou! Saikyou Blader was the first Beyblade title for the Game Boy Advance, following the original anime rather than the manga while still starring Daichi. Battles combine a top-down launch phase with side-view attack exchanges, players build energy for one of three move tiers, and the game introduces clockwise-versus-counterclockwise spin direction as a mechanic for the first time, plus new rivals Kaoru and Makoto Amou leading Team Chizan.

What to know

  • First Beyblade game to model clockwise versus counter-clockwise spin direction as a battle mechanic.
  • Player again controls Daichi, fighting through Tyson's friends, the Japanese tournament field, then a final bout against Kaoru Amou (Pegacion) and sister Makoto (Vulpes) of Team Chizan.
  • Beyblade parts awarded after battles follow a color-coded strength progression.
  • An official strategy guide for the game shipped in Japan in January 2002.
  • The other Bladebreakers become playable once the game and its final boss are cleared.
