Passwords

All 854 cards in this game have passwords included in the ROM. Only 34 of these passwords were known before all passwords were dumped from the ROM in 2017: five could be obtained by beating Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories and watching its credits to the end, two could be obtained by beating The Duelists of the Roses (one after each of its campaigns), 23 were revealed on the official The Duelists of the Roses websites in sets of four each, and the final four were distributed widely on online forums without a known official source; the remaining 820 passwords are not known to have ever been officially published. 120 passwords are marked as unusable and do not unlock the card if entered. All passwords are documented on Yugipedia: usable passwords; unusable passwords.

Unused Alternate Artwork

Some cards have an alternate art which can be unlocked by winning it from a three-in-a-row. However, not every card with an alt art can be won in such a way so some alt arts are unused.

Regional Differences

• Dark Magician Girl's card art is slightly different between the international and Japanese versions. The International version made her outfit slightly darker and altered the appearance of the gem on her chest, while also reducing the amount of cleavage shown on the card; This was commonplace censorship for International Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
