Most, if not all, of the physical aspect of the franchise have been redesigned from previous iterations. Each player rolls an unopened Bakugan® toward the Hide Matrix. If only Bakugan® opens, that player turns over their Character Cards. If both players Bakugan® open they flip over their Character Cards.
