← All areas in this guide

Located on the lower deck of the S.S. Zelbess in Home World, the Grand Slam is a monster battle minigame run by Janice. Players enter three successive 3v3 arena matches against Janice's teams using monsters unlocked in Sprigg's Doppelgang list, without repeating any monster across rounds. Winning all three consecutive rounds convinces Janice to join the playable roster and earns valuable accessory rewards.
