| - Star Chips were star-shaped, golden-colored trinkets used in the Duelist Kingdom tournament. At the beginning of the tournament, each invited Duelist received 2 Star Chips and a Dueling Gauntlet with 10 slots to hold them. Duelists waged their Star Chips in Duels against each other, with the loser handing over the wagered Star Chips. If a Duelist ran out of Star Chips, they were disqualified; exchanging Star Chips outside of a Duel was a violation of the rules, and being caught would also result in disqualification. If a Duelist won 10 Star Chips, they could use them as a "key" for the front gate of Pegasus Castle, where the finals were held.

| - Star Chips were star-shaped, golden-colored trinkets used in the Duelist Kingdom tournament. At the beginning of the tournament, each invited Duelist received 2 Star Chips and a Dueling Gauntlet with 10 slots to hold them. Duelists waged their Star Chips in Duels against each other, with the loser handing over the wagered Star Chips. If a Duelist ran out of Star Chips, they were disqualified; exchanging Star Chips outside of a Duel was a violation of the rules, and being caught would also result in disqualification. If a Duelist won 10 Star Chips, they could use them as a "key" for the front gate of Pegasus Castle, where the finals were held. Originally, Katsuya Jonouchi and Keith Howard did not have any Star Chips nor Dueling Gauntlet, as they were stowaway participants, but got their hands on both requirements in their own ways to enter the castle. Seto Kaiba, being a "special guest", was given the five Star Chips his brother Mokuba Kaiba stole and confiscated by Saruwatari. (In the anime, Pegasus gave Seto five extra Star Chips out of his own supply, as the ones Mokuba stole were thrown into the ocean.) Eliminators, like PaniK, were able to hold far more than the standard 10 Star Chips, as they possessed a much larger Dueling Gauntlet on each arm. There were 80 Star Chips issued to players in total, and the Eliminators were assigned to retrieve 40 of them to ensure that it would be impossible for more than four finalists to enter the castle.
