Battle Stages
There are 7 battle stages in the American version, they are as follows:

Fushia Village: Luffy's hometown, where Higuma & his bandits will throw random objects at the players, and also, there will be a cow that charges at the players when hit and a spinning signpost that can be used to launch the players in a random direction.

Baratie: The Bistro of the Brine; Sanji's work place. It's a floating restaurant. You can fight only out of it. There is a deck were you can fight, and ruins of Don Krieg's ship that can be destroyed by use of a bomb. You also can also use the mast as a weapon.

Arlong Park: This is Arlong's HQ. Skinny field with Momoo in the middle. You can walk on momoo and even hit him in the face. There's two small houses that can crash and block a hole, preventing sinking, while Arlong's pirates attack the players (unless they are used by Arlong).

Lougetown: The place where Gold Roger was executed. The smallest field, no cliffs or water. The field can change in shape by attacking the walls. Marines will try to use nets to stun you (spots that the nets are dropped onto are marked with a white symbol a few seconds before the net is dropped). Lighting will hit the field sometimes. Alvida is in the middle, and will attack anyone who attacks her. citizens and buggy's pirates will toss things at you.

Drum Castle: Tony Tony Chopper's home. The stage is covered with snow and snowballs. Wapol is an item that eats or attacks the characters. Giant rabbits will throw snowballs at you. Wapol's bodygards will attack you.

Arabasta Kingdom: Crocodile and Mr. 2 Bon Kurei's stage. Occasionally a sandstorm will pop up getting bigger every time you hit it. Also, hitting [[Cobra] will result in him getting angry and karate chop you all the way to the other side of the stage.

Eden Rock: The training area. No real obstacles. The eight stone pillars on the sides can be broken by attacks.

Mini-Games
In the Japanese version, the minigames are hosted by Foxy and his crew, while in the American version, Usopp and his ragtag "pirates" took their place.

Usopp Race (Donut Race in the Japanese version): In this minigame, you must help Usopp, Nami, and Robin (changed to random villagers in the American version)'s boat get to the finish line by stopping Foxy's pirates (present in both versions) from shooting cannonballs at them by attacking them. The pirates drop fruit (and occasionally bombs) when defeated, so Support & Super attacks may be used).

Battle Bowl (Groggy Ring in the Japanese version): In this minigame, you must throw the "ball"(Gaimon) into the opponent's goal to earn points. Whoever has the highest score by the end of 30 seconds wins.

Removed features
Several features were removed in the American version of the game because the American anime was not far enough


 * Two fighting arenas were omitted (they had not appeared in America yet). The stages were the Maxim (Skypiea arc) and the Sexy Foxy(Davy Back Fight arc).
 * In the American anime, Ms. All-Sunday/Ms. Sunday/Nico Robin was NOT part of the Straw Hat Pirates at the time of the games release. Therefore, her extra costumes and all references of her association with the Strawhats were omitted.
 * The Davy Back Games mode was changed to feature Usopp and his Veggie Pirates and renamed mini-game mode, as Foxy and his crew did not appear in the anime at the time of the game's release. However they still can be seen in the background of some of the mini games, and Davy Back Fight rules still apply (IE, the winner gets to take one of the loser's crewmates.)
 * Usopp's Impact Dial attack, Afro Luffy's Gomu Gomu No Cannon, and an attack of Sanji's that can be seen in Kokoro no Chizu were removed from the American version.
 * Mihawk's necklace and sword were edited.
 * As with the english anime, Smoker's name is changed to Chaser and the cigars in his mouth are removed. However, the cigars strapped to his coat were not removed, nor the kanji for "justice"
 * In the Eden Rock stage Mihawk, Donquixote Doflamingo, and Bartholomew Bear were edited to two guards as the two other members of the Shichibukai appeared after the Arabasta Arc and therefore had not appeared in the American anime. Also,the Gorosei(Five Elder Stars) were taken out and so was Lafitte for the same reason.

Misc information
Similar to Power Stone, Rave Master, and Super Smash Bros. Melee, this fighter is crazy and wacky with its own sense of style.

An American only sequel, One Piece Grand Adventure, featuring several characters either excluded from the original game or new to any One Piece game, was released in 2006.

There are a few editing conflicts in the game, for example, in Logue town (Rogue town in the dub) the Marine gates still have the Marines sign, despite 4kids editing. More conflicts can be found in the One Piece Art section on the title screen, where images from removed openings, ending, and story arcs appear.

The straw hat costumes of the manga Volume 11 cover is a group of secret costumes by doing certain codes.
