Game Notes

 * Despite never actually doing any form of attack in the series, Shanks is playable as a fighter. Pandaman is also featured, despite not actualy being a storyplot character.
 * At the time of setting for this game, Miss Wednesday had not been introduced yet as Princess Vivi. However, during the game she introduces herself to Nami as Princess Vivi.
 * This was the first ever One Piece game to be released outside Japan.
 * This is the first of 5 games carrying the "Grand Battle" title. The sequel to this game is Grand Battle! 2.
 * Grand Battle! at the Playstation Awards 2002, the game picked up a Gold prize alongside its sequel Grand Battle! 2. The game was a long-time seller, over 600,000 copies were sold after its first year.
 * Since the European version was translated before 4kids dubbed the anime, many things from the Japanese anime kept. This includes: Sanji and Smoker's ciggarrettes, names of characters and objects (such as Zoro or Devil Fruit) and mild profanity.
