Pow Cards[]
Pow Cards are a very important feature in the game. The player is able to collect Pow Cards to use for trading and for gaining Powie Zowies. You can buy them from the Pow Card Machine, there are secret cards you get by inputting the right codes in the machine, and some you get from the character themselves. A card's Powie Zowie is unlocked after you complete quests to that card's character. They are only available for use during battle and, upon use, it will summon the hero tied to the card to aid in combat. They can be used an infinite number of times in between cooldowns.
Presumably, the first Pow Cards that will be made available to the player are the Carol, Radicles and Mr. Gar. Other cards can also be obtained extremely early on, as Rad will direct K.O. to use the Pow Card machine. K.O. will also have possession of his own card which, at the start of the game, is at power level 0.
Arcade Minigames[]
After a few days in-game, the arcade will open and you can play 2 minigames. In one game you fight the Boxmore robots in multiple waves, where you can try to beat records.
The other one is a Claw Machine, where you can get blind balls, paying a golden coin to play. Someone is trapped in a ball and asks for K.O. to help them out, by getting the ball with them inside out of the machine. A golden coin appears every day around the plaza, as a small, yellow sparkle on the ground.
The moment when the blind ball that the person is in it is received and out of the game, the person is revealed to be Holo-Jane, who ate a small burrito from Beardo and used her powers to get the prize in the ball. Unfortunately, her powers don't work inside arcade machines and the burrito hasn't worn off. She thanks K.O. and gives him her holofoil pow card.
When in the battle, she gives K.O. her hologram power, but only for a short time.
