Game Questions
Is this game based on Dragon Ball Z or the original Dragon Ball?
It's based entirely on the original Dragon Ball, focusing on Goku's childhood adventures, his training under Master Roshi, and his early battles well before the Saiyan and Frieza arcs.
What gameplay style does it use?
It's a side-scrolling action beat-'em-up for most stages, with distinct fighting-game-esque duels for key boss battles against characters like Tien Shinhan and King Piccolo, offering great variety.
Are characters besides Goku playable?
Most main-story action is Goku-only, but several other fighters from the series become unlockable and playable in the separate Duel and Tournament game modes, adding depth.
