The player must use their Program Deck to defeat various opponents on different types of battlefields. The program deck allows NetNavis use Battle Chips chosen at random. There are two slot in chips that the NetOp can use at any time in the battle. Navi Chips serve a different purpose in this game than in the other Battle Network games. Instead of summoning the Navi, they become the controllable character. These Navi Chips are received by defeating various Navis. NetNavis also have their own special attack that they can perform after using up their Battle Chips. The player can also attack and destroy their opponents Battle Chips to prevent them from using it.
