Here they must win five duels in a row, proceeding to a new chamber after winning each. The first is against Téa controlled by Marik, then Joey controlled, the next two are random Ghouls and the last is Marik.

- Weekend Tournaments: The player faces a random opponent in a Match.
- Limitation Tournaments: Only accessed by finishing everything else in the game, there are ten rounds. The player participates in a duel, in which their Deck is restricted to a only include certain types of cards or must exclude certain types of cards. Clearing this allows players to turn off the card limitations, allowing three copies of every card in their Deck.

- Duel Assist: Trade with other games or enter passwords.
- Cable Duel: Duel with other copies of the game
- Option: Toggle Limitation Status "on" or "off". Only available after the player has won all of the Limitation Tournaments.

The player can view their cards and edit their Deck from the Deck & Bag menu. The menu has three different screens, which can be toggled between using the L and R keys.
- Bag: All cards in the player's possession, not currently in the Deck or Side Deck.
- Deck: 40 to 60 cards used in Duels.
- Side Deck: 0 to 15 cards, which can be used to modify the Deck between Duels, during Matches.
Each screen shows a list of cards with four visible at a time. The up and down arrows can be used to move through the cards one at a time or the left and right arrows to move four a time. When highlighted, a card's illustration, kana name, stats and the number of copies of it in the Bag, Deck and Side Deck are displayed. When selected, the player can view its details or move a copy to the Bag, Deck or Side Deck.
Cards can be filtered and re-ordered on each screen.

Trivia
- Yami Marik's appearance on the box cover of this video game is taken from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 222 (Duelist Duel 163): "The Rise of Ra!", specifically from the panel where he laughs at Mai Kujaku, asking how she plans on using "The Winged Dragon of Ra", after he prompts her to continue her turn.
- Yami Yugi's appearance here is taken from the title page for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 207 (Duelist Duel 148): "One-Turn Kill", although he is shown without his jacket, the cards in his left hand, and his Duel Disk.
