• Beat (Jet Set Radio series)
• C. AiAi

All of these characters cost anywhere between 3,000 to 5,000 points.

• Sega Game Gear (SEGA Legends)

Unfortunately, only the main cast of Monkey Ball characters will be playable in the Party Games mode. The crossovers will only be playable in the Main Game and Ranking Challenge modes.
