Based on the popular Anime and Manga series, One Piece, Grand Adventure contains more characters (Zeff, Kuina), levels, and features, some of which were cut out of the U.S One Piece Grand Battle. game was also released in Korea, Australia, and in both Spain and the UK in Europe.

[edit] Adventure Mode

One of the new features in Grand Adventure is Adventure mode, which allows the player to sail the Grand Line and visit various islands from the One Piece anime, similar to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (though unlike The Wind Waker, you will be able to select certain "hotspots" and sail there automatically). On these islands, the character will engage in combat against other One Piece characters, who if defeated may join your character's crew, or play in various mini-games. In the fights, characters gain experience points and can level up, where the player can level up certain stats of the character (HP, attack, defense, etc.).

There is a total of 24 playable characters. There is a total of 51 support characters which the player can choose in addition to their playable character. While the support characters are not controllable, they are able to help the player when called out. There are six types of support characters: Dash, Jump, Ride, Recovery, Gun, and Area. Each type of support character has its own advantages and disadvantages in battle.

Each character is assigned support characters. Every character has at least one, but none of them have more than three. In some game modes, the support characters the player can choose from are limited to the ones assigned to that specific character. In most modes, all unlocked support characters are available.

In some cases, a support character does not even have a character that it is assigned to.

[edit] Differences

Most of the editing conflicts are gone, (e.g. the "Marine" gates now say "Navy") the arenas have gone through various changes, and character movements have changed. Every stage has an alternate version with a different stage quirk (the thing in the level you can use to your advantage). A list of the changes:

[edit] Editing conflicts

  • Marine vs. Navy: Everything that said Marines now say Navy. However, in adventure mode, some characters refer to Marines instead of the Navy a few times.
  • Clima Tact: The Clima Tact's name is changed to Weather Forcer in one scene in Luffy's mode. However, it is called the Clima Tact everywhere else (including her profile).
  • Hawkeye Mihawk: Mihawk's giant sword hilt has been edited into a less cross-like shape shown in the 4Kids dub of the anime. Likewise, Mihawk's small dagger has the sides of its hilt chopped off. However, in the art for character selection, Mihawk's sword and dagger remain unedited.
  • Mr 2 Bon Clay: His profile has his alias listed as Bon-chan. Also mentions the "okama fist he has mastered".

[edit] Stages

There are a total of 20 arenas inside One Piece Grand Adventure. 10 normal stages with 3 needing to overall be unlocked (Must be to unlock the Alternate Versions), and 10 alternate stages that must be unlocked for all 10.

[edit] Fusha Village

A lush, green village with the birth of Monkey D. Luffy and Portagez D. Trace. A cow that goes on an rampage if step on the back. Alternate version is with bandits and its sunset.

[edit] Drum Castle

Dajo is at the gate, the snow is black, and the Roger flag, also present. The alternate version is set during the day, and there are snowmen littered around the stage.

[edit] Arlong Park

The original Arlong park. You can get hit by Kuroobi (he just stuns you), Choo (he shoots water bullets) and Hachi (he shoots ink causing you to become dizzy). An alternate version is Nighttime with a broken building and a KO'd Moomoo.

[edit] Roguetown

In a raining storm with Buggys crew knocked out, Naval Recruits will change the shape of the barricades constantly. If caught in the spot light bombs will be lauched after 10 or so seconds. Alternate is during the daytime with only Buggy's pirates around and no rain. Alvida is in the ring, and will slide around and swing her club if she is attacked (just like in Grand Battle/Grand Battle RUSH).

[edit] Baratie

Zeff is sometimes replaced with Patty, but is seen on the wall. Pandasharks sometimes get stuck on wooden platforms, wall-guarding Patty is removed. Alternate is the same as the normal, but during the day and with the "Mackerel Head 1" machine that Carne and Patty operate instead of pandasharks. (Just like in One Piece Grand Battle RUSH) Zeff or Patty aren't visible if support characters Zeff, Patty, or the Zeff character is used.

[edit] Alabasta

Now has grass rather than sand, a barrel rolls now and again leaving oil on the ground. Unlike the alternate, this version has a mirror image-like setting, with another cannon and temple on the opposite side of the stage. The alternate version is the same as in Grand Battle.

[edit] Foxy Pirate Ship

Referred to as a generic Pirate Ship, and Big Pan has been replaced with Brogy (although Pickles is still present). The alternate is during a storm while tilted, having more obstacles. Now bombs roll toward one side, causing more chaos and parts of the ships (like wood or steel bars) falls down at random areas.

[edit] Eden Rock

Its just like the one from "Grand Battle". The alternate is a night version with the pillars, if broken, fall inside the ring instead of it falling outside.

[edit] Skypiea

Its is beautiful and littered with Satori's "Surprise Balls", which contain poisonous snake or flowers. Nola the python is also seen, and will open her mouth if attacked. The alternate is night, dark and gloomy, with a knocked out Nola and lightning bolts (created by Eneru) that strike chests (With a huge one coming shortly after the start of the round that creates a large crater in the center of the stage).

[edit] Maxim

It is now under construction, leaving right half the stage open while items are sent and Enforcers are building. The gears rotate in the opposite direction. Alternate is the same as in Grand Battle Rush!, with the left half of the stage open; the other parts destroyed.

[edit] Features removed from One Piece Grand Battle Rush!

  • Pandaman is removed.
  • The Jewel item is removed.
  • Running into a box which hits the enemy will also stun them.
  • All-support system; any fighter can use almost any support. Attacks that only the user can do and inanimate objects can only be used by the user.
  • Arena Mode to fight and rise up ranks.
  • There is now a King of the Pirates outfit for Monkey D. Luffy as well as Skypeia outfits for everyone else (e.g. Robin also gets a kimono; Chopper gets Christmas outfit instead)
  • When the secret attack is used instead of the last game's health dependence, this game involves a Rock, Paper, Scissors type game with Wisdom, Technique, and Strength.
  • Some attacks are weaker or stronger than before.
  • When item containers are hit by a burning attack, they will be lit on fire instead of being destroyed instantly. Burning containers will set on fire anyone who touches them and will automatically be destroyed in a couple of seconds.
  • All the Strawhat member (exept Vivi) gets 1 extra super move. (eg. Luffy gets one more 1 super move, Gum Gum Hammer)
  • Some new characters are added this includes Vivi, Tashigi, Kuina, Zeff, Ohm, Wapol
  • The stages have alternative field.
  • Some characters move are changed slightly (eg. when Enel using his 200 million volt Amal, Enel is allow to move but in the Grand Battle! Rush Enel only stays in one spot.
  • Some mini game was replaced with new one. These are the mini game that were replaced, Fight the Captain, Break Kreig's Armour, fight random person and these are the new one, Fight Norla the snake, Rumble battle, Spot billed duck.

[edit] Trivia

  • This is the very first One Piece game to ever include Kuina and/or Red-Shoes Zeff as playable characters, and Kuina is the youngest One Piece character to have ever been included in a One Piece game. She is also the second deceased playable character in a One Piece game (The first being Mr 9 in One Piece: Going Baseball).
  • The game seems to have more content that was cut from the English dub anime (Ex. In the game in Luffy's adventure, Zolo/Zoro - told Tashigi to stop copying his dead friend (Kuina); this was not said in the English dub anime, this was the original Japanese version of the line. In the English dub they said she was injured so badly, she could never fight again. Also, the part where Zolo/Zoro said this was cut from the dub version). Also, in Luffy's Adventure Mode, Dr. Kureha states that she's 99 years old (the dub says she's 99 and a half), yet she is still said to be 140 in her mini-bio in Chopper's character data. As well, in Bon Clay's character bio, it mentions that he uses the Okama Fist (in the dub, it's called Crazy Karate). Also, in Nami's character bio, her weapon is referred to as the Climatact, despite the English anime calling it the "Weather Forcer".
  • Majority of the theme background/music came from all the fighting Japanese version of the One Piece game (From One Piece 1 to Grand Battle Rush)
  • Zeff and Tashigi are both support characters and playable characters. The support characters were less detailed including Zeff having a slightly smaller hat than the playable Zeff and Tashigi having a different shirt than the playable Tashigi. Zoro(Zolo) is a support character but only as a child.(Young Zolo)
  • Clothing errors from the US version of Grand Battle (e.g. Chaser's (Smoker in the original) cigars) are still not edited out.
  • Playing as Ohm when fighting against Luffy or in one of the Drum Castle arenas will make him talk like Wapol at the start of the battle and when he wins.
  • When Chopper does his Kokutei Roseo, his backpack is gone.
  • The character 4th costume is based on a One Piece wallpaper, while the 3rd one is based on TV speacials.
  • When Sanji fights any female character (except Kuina) he will go into "Love-cook mode". While it doesn't affect his fighting, his dialogue his changed to "love-cook dialogue", his eye is replaced with a heart and when he attacks the female opponent love hearts will fly off on contact.
  • The Box art used on the boxed is actually the Japanese only game, Fighting for One Piece's boxart.
