When you start the game and "Press Start" appears, remain idle and a FMV sequence will
start. When the title screen appears, the background will be different. There are three
or four different backgrounds. Besides the four backgrounds in the startup menu, and two
different start up title songs, there is the normal background that has the actual Dragon
Ball Z title screen from the show. There is also one that has to do with each main villain
played against in the game.

Taunting (press P + K + G + E) will lower your opponent's Ki gauge by 1.

As soon as you start, back up. Your opponent should run attack. Jump back and Kick(3).
Repeat this until all his health is depleted.

To get life without going into the rejuvenation chamber on Namek, go up closely to the
chamber without going in. You should see your life bar fill.

Pause the game during duel mode, then press L1 + L2 + L3.

To have dialog that has to do with story mode or the series Dragon Ball Z, pair these two
fighters together: Krillin and Android #18, Frieza and Goku, Vegeta and Goku, Android #16
and Goku, and Trunks and either Androids #17 or Android #18, Piccolo and Teen Gohan. If
you pair these fighters as indicated, you will hear different dialog pertaining to the
story mode, or the relation between the characters. Certain character pairs may also have
different dialog at the end of the fight. Note: Great Saiyaman always says the same
thing no matter what, but it always has to do with "Justice" or "Evil".

When playing as Trunks in practice mode, go to the grass land and use his burning attack.
You will fight in a hole that Trunks made with his attack and the trees will be burned to
a crisp.

When selecting Capsules for any Saiyan, half Saiyan (except Saiyanman), or Cell, you can
trick the CPU into giving you an extra slot. First, use four slots for anything, then use
the 1/3 Sensu Bean and Saiyan Heritage. There should be an empty slot at seven. Next,
replace the 1/3 Sensu Bean for a normal Bean. In effect, you will get a full Sensu Bean
for two slots instead of three. You cannot trick the CPU into changing the new eighth
slot into anything else.

At the character selection screen, choose the first character (player one or two),while
the other player waits. After the first player chooses, remove the memory card from slot
one and put it in slot two. You should now be able to choose another custom character for
player two.

After you complete the story mode you will be able to go back and do new missions in
the three different sagas to unlock characters and items. After you do the new missions
for each saga (can be done randomly), another mission opens where the story from the
cartoon and game is changed. In the Saiyan Saga, you play as Vegeta and take on the Z
Fighters. After Vegeta defeats each of them he turns Super Saiyan. In the Namek Saga, you
play as Frieza and once again take on the Z Fighters. Once they are defeated Freeza, will
use the Dragonballs and ask to be invincible. His wish is granted and he destroys Namek
and then goes after Earth. In the Android Saga, you play as Cell. After absorbing Android
17, Cell goes after Android 18. He will try to absorb her but Krillin will jump in the way
and be absorbed instead. Cell will become a hilarious fusion between the two. He will then
take on Yamcha. After the fight, Tien goes to blast him but Cell suddenly wakes up from a
dream. He is in his Perfect form waiting for the Cell Games. Additionally, these episodes
can be unlocked when you complete Story Mode at any level:

in the arrows. For example, hold Right and press K(2), K(2), E.

Unlock Hercule and go to the Mr. Popo's shop. Buy the "Advanced Tournament" Capsule and
the one that appears next is "The Legend Of Hercule". It is a new fighting mode, where
you recreate the events that the public believed happened during the "Cell Games Saga".
Also, when you select Legend Of Hercule, make sure you have a Senzu Bean and custom
Hercule. When you get to fight Goku, your health will not replenish when you fight Gohan
and Cell.

You may have already noticed that your character will be knocked out of his Super Saiyan
Transformation when his Ki gauge goes anywhere below 3. By knowing this, you can
determine several things in a battle. Note: Super Saiyan 2 Transformations also
are knocked out at Ki gauge 3. Also, this has almost the same effect with Cell and
Frieza's Forms.

After you finish story mode, re-enter it. Go to the Android Saga and find the new episode
Super Saiyan Vegeta. Enter this episode and you will end up fighting Android #18. Once

When fighters simultaneously connect with an Energy Punch, you enter Burst Zone. You will
know when this is happening by the speed at which both warriors are attacking and
blocking. Rotate the Left Analog-stick as quickly as possible. If you are the fastest,
you will deliver a powerful knock-back attack on your opponent upon exiting the Burst
Zone. The easiest way to win in the Burst Zone is when you enter it, spin both the Left
Analog-stick and Right Analog-stick as fast as possible. This has the same effect as
pressing the directional buttons and command buttons all at the same time, but a lot
easier to do.

Add a Senzu Bean with Sayian Heritage. Your attack will be boosted after the Senzu Bean is
used. A normal bean takes up 3.

Use the Left Analog-stick to manually move the green radar that passes over the "Dragon
Ball Z" logo at the bottom right of the screen. Press L3 to have it resume its normal
scanning motion. Note: This cannot be done by player two.
