The game stayed on Nintendo Power's future release list for a few years, until the release of the next title of the series, Custom Robo: Battle Revolution for the GameCube (known as Custom Robo in North America).
In this title, the main character's name is used as the cursor on the map screen for selecting which place to enter.
Once it runs out, the players' robo gets "downed" which means that it stays fallen for a couple seconds.
If the player repeatedly loses the same battle, the game offers the option of reducing the opponent's initial health, to make it easier.
If the players continue to lose several times, the degree of handicap offered increases up to 75%, giving the opponent a starting 250 HP.
