Features

Fossil Fighters: Champions expands on the features present in the original Fossil Fighters and, in many cases, introducing new options as well. The player can now choose to be either a boy or a girl at the start of the game and unlike the first you are given a choice of one of four starter vivosaurs (one for each element except Neutral and Legendary). Also you can use auto to let the game battle for you and you can rotate your team. (You will be able to find that Vivosaur at Treasure Lake and Hot Spring Heights).

List of Vivosaurs

Gameplay remains largely unchanged although aesthetic changes have been made to much of the game; the graphics are now much more detailed and character models and the environments appear much more complex than the previous game.

Most of the gameplay changes that have taken place are present in the Revival process with items now available which extend the period of time available and another which reveals weak points in the fossil rocks known as Buster Points. New kinds of fossil rocks can now be found; curious rocks are flipped over to reveal more of the fossil and giant fossils which don't fit on the screen and must be moved around to reveal their full extent. Perhaps the biggest change to gameplay is the addition of Super Revivals which come in both Silver and Gold, with gold revivals changing the appearance and abilities of some of the Vivosaurs.

Quests

Sidequests were present in the first Fossil Fighters, but they are now named, and a list of them is provided by the Info Clerk in the Fossil Guild. See List of Quests. Additionally, Side Quests are now a major part of "leveling up," the feature directly tied to FP recharge, whereas in FF this was linked only to plot events. Some specific sidequests, like Egg-xact Timing, include in-game access to Fossil Rocks of the Chickens.
