Trivia/Glitches – Yu Gi Oh World Championship 2008

“Yubel“, “Crystal Seer“, “Kozaky“, and “Nurse Reficule the Fallen One” are all available in this game as Duel spirits, but none are available as playable cards.

The second effect of “Rainbow Dragon” can be activated by the opponent during either player’s turn.

“Arcana Force EX – The Light Ruler“, under the name “Arcana Force Extra – The Light Ruler”, is the only “Arcana Force” monster available in this game.

The card lore of “Rain Storm” is incorrectly replaced by the lore for “Elemental Hero Chaos Neos“.

“Dimension Distortion” does not allow you to Special Summon your opponent’s removed from play monsters.

The card lore of “Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord” does not tell you that you can also send a monster from your Deck to the Graveyard when “Exodius” attacks.

In previous games, the Egyptian God cards were always either illegal or Forbidden; in this game, they are all Limited for the first time, allowing players to put one of each Egyptian God card into their Deck.

All the promotional cards that are included with the game are used by Adrian Gecko in the anime.

The following Fusion Material Monsters are absent from the game, despite the Fusion Monsters formed from these Monsters being included in the game:

Due to the absence of the above monsters, “Fiend Skull Dragon“, “Dark Balter the Terrible“, “Ryu Senshi” and “Aqua Dragon” cannot be Fusion Summoned in this game and subsequent World Championship games for the Nintendo DS; only Special Summoned by specific card effects. The first two cannot be summoned by “Instant Fusion” because they follow Strict Fusion Summon requirements. Similarly, “Ryu Senshi” does not allow materials to be substituted for its Fusion Summon while “Aqua Dragon” would require more Fusion Substitute Monsters than is allowed.

After you defeat an opponent 10 times, they are added to your Tag Partner list.
- If you choose a tag partner in World Championship Mode that has Tag Duel partner, and you go to Tag Tournament with that partner, your partner will have their Tag Duel deck instead of their normal deck. For example, if Jaden Yuki was your tag partner, and you entered a Tag Tournament, his deck would be the deck he uses with Jesse Andersen (Spiritual Guidance) instead of the deck he uses in Single Duel (Dark Heroes). This change of deck will continue back into World Championship mode until you Single Duel the tag partner, which will reset their deck to the Single Duel deck.
- This also extends to Tag Duelists you haven’t unlocked. Say you have Yami Yugi in Single Duel unlocked, but not in Tag Duels. If you enter Tag Tournament, Yami Yugi’s Tag Partner deck will change (from 1000 yr. Memories to Ties that Bind).
A Stone Seal appears in an area after you beat every opponent in that area 5 times.
