Medarot Brave
Medarot Brave (Medabots Infinity in western markets) is an action game released in 2004 for the Nintendo GameCube. The game keeps most of the systems from the mainline installments but switches the gameplay to an overhead 3D shooter alternating maze gameplay and one-on-one Robattles. The story has Ikki and Metabee investigating mysteries in the newly-opened amusement park of Toru-Toru Land.
The game features the cast of Medarot 2. It was the last Medarot title to be released outside Japan.

Gameplay
Medarot selection
The game features 44 Medarots returning from previous titles and one brand-new medarot, for a total of 45.
Not all Medarots featured have equal opportunies to assemble their parts set and some will require trading to be fully assembled. Hippopojamas is also impossible to fully assemble without use of external modification as its Left Arm part does not spawn through any means.
GBA Connectivity and issues
The game takes advantage of the Nintendo GameCube's ability connect to the GameBoy Advance for extra content. If players link their GameCube to a GameBoy Advance with a copy of Medarot 2 Core inserted, they will be able to unlock a bonus Medarot (Arcbeetle for Kabuto/Metabee version and God Emperor for Kuwagata/Rokusho)
However, the feature suffers from issues in most releases of the game. In the Japanese version and first-run prints of the North American release, the trigger for completing Kouji's quest in the postgame is bugged and as such, players cannot acquire the pass necessary to collect the unlock medarot in Story mode. This issue is fixed in the v 1.1 printings of the North American release.
The European release fixes the Kouji pass issue but removes the link option entirely without giving players an alternate way to collect Arcbeetle and God Master. However, by using external programs to convert a save file of the American version into an European-format file, it is possible to reintroduce the Link feature, though only when the game language is set to English.
