Unlike many of the ''Beyblade'' games that would follow, ''Jisedai Beigoma Battle Beyblade'' features real-time combat, and a pretty hectic variation to boot. A battle's outcome is determined by one of the beys either coming to a halt or falling outside the stadium. As would be common in ''Beyblade'' games, the player has to acquire better bey parts to improve their chances against increasingly tougher oppontent. Unique to ''Jisedai Beigoma Battle Beyblade'', and fortunately so, is the ability to bet a bey part on the outcome of a battle. Early on, this can render the game {{unwinnable}}.

Although part of the ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'' franchise, it is distinct due to predating the narrative refining of the manga and most [[MerchandiseDriven need for marketing]]. Indeed, at the time of release only three beyblades were on the market: Ultimate Dragoon, Frostic Dranzer, and Saizō, which in-game belong to Takao, Kai, and Jin respectively. Takao is the protagonist, who along with his friends Kurumi and Rokumaru sets out to win the beyblade tournament. On their journey, they meet Kai, who wants to destroy beyblade, and Jin, a mysterious ninja that aids them.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: The ''Pokémon''-esque design of the game isn't just because both it and ''Beyblade'' are in the same Robopon, but also because Hudson Soft had just recently developed a ''Pokémon''-esque game by the name of ''{{VideoGame/Robopon}}''. And wouldn't you know it, some sprites in that game are adjusted for use in Jisedai Beigoma Battle Beyblade.

Added DiffLines:

* WhatTheHellHero: During the intro sequence, Takao, despite already having made arrangements with his friends that he just forgot about, is unwilling to do anymore training for the upcoming tournament. Kurumi tells him it's the best use of the time left and his mother agrees with her. Takao's response? "I know! For the love of, you women are annoying..." Kurumi punches him for that remark while Rokumaru wisely stays out of it.

----
!!''Jisedai Beigoma Battle Beyblade'' contains examples of:
* [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]]: Kurumi is rather popular and not pleased about it. Played for laughs during the ending sequence when two slides are of her running away from her suitors: some guy and Sebastian.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Where to begin...
** Rokumaru is readily recognizable as a prototype of Kyōju from the main portion of the franchise. What with Takao, Kai, Jin being brought over to the manga one-on-one, it stands out that Rokumaru's character type was brought over, but not the character itself.
** Less obvious than Rokumaru's case is Masuda's case. He's the elderly owner of a local dojo where people can practice beyblading and which is the first place Takao visits in the game. He is a dead ringer for Ryūnosuke's inspiration origin.
** Dranzer is a three-headed dragon. Its name and Dragoon's are dragon+army portmanteaus, namely dragon+panzer and dragon+platoon. When Aoki wrote the manga, he created the TheFourGods theme by changing Dranzer into a bird and adding Driger and Draciel. The "dra-" bit originally standing for "dragon" thus was recontextualized as AlphabeticalThemeNaming. This is why Dragoon (dragon), Driger (tiger), and Draciel (shell) have clear animal self-references, but Dranzer does not.
** The game has a ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon]]''-esque approach at bit-beasts.
* TheLostWoods: There's a forest you have to navigate through to reach other towns. Pick the wrong path and you end up back at the entrance.
* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: The ''Pokémon''-esque design of the game isn't just because both it and ''Beyblade'' are in the same Robopon, but also because Hudson Soft had just recently developed a ''Pokémon''-esque game by the name of ''{{VideoGame/Robopon}}''. And wouldn't you know it, some sprites in that game are adjusted for use in Jisedai Beigoma Battle Beyblade.
* OutdatedName: "Rokumaru" is an old-fashioned name and probably picked by the developers as a [[ShoutOut close match]] to the company name "Rokumendo".
* PowerTrio: Takao, Kurumi, and Rokumaru.
* StudentAndMasterTeam: The elderly Masuda, who owns a beyblade dojo, and Tarō, who appears to be his prime pupil. They are the first two opponents that need to be defeated, as a means to finish the tutorial.
* {{Unwinnable}}: There is no safety net for losing bet-type battles. You lose the battle, you lose the bey. This can make the game unwinnable at any time, but is much more of a problem early on when you only have a few beys and not yet the means to buy more.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The game ends with a slideshow of the main trio going home and visiting several of the friends they made on the way back.
