Easy characters
To unlock the characters easily, try to complete the Dragon World (the real game). About every time you defeat a character, you will unlock the person that you were battling against.
Easy wins
Get a Viral Heart Disease Skill and put it on for support. Then, get a Vaccine to not make your Power decrease, but your opponent’s will. Just block until their health is in the orange. You should now be able to defeat them. Also when you initiate Burst mode in battle, instead of just randomly pressing buttons (as the game suggests), use the palm of your hand to rotate both Analog-sticks either clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on which is more comfortable for you. Note: For optimal performance, use your dominant hand (if you are right-handed, use your right hand; and if left-handed, use your left).
Picking up a Dragon Ball
To pick up a Dragon Ball after it is in the center of the Dragon Ball Radar, just select the character that is on top of the Dragon Ball and press B.
Switching to Goten or Kid Trunks in a duel
Equip Goten or Kid Trunks with the Fusion. While you are fighting, press P + K + G (Y + B + A). You will have all of their moves as if you chose that character at the start. Note: No transformation is possible.
Easy unlocks with Yamcha
Play Stage 3 of Babidi’s Spaceship with Yamcha only using Wolf Fang Fist to unlock Dabura, Majin, Super and Kid Buu along with some of their moves much faster than if someone else was used.
Charge special faster
When charging up for a special, hold A to charge faster. This the only way to get Majin Vegeta’s Final Explosion move without getting destroyed.
Continuous and fast Kamehameha meter
Turn you controller vertically and place your hand over both Analog-sticks. Rotate them both with your hand.
Dragon Ball GT reference
After the stage where Vegeta get s taken over by Babidi, Freeza and Cell come back to life. This happens in Dragon Ball GT .
Dragon Ball Z Budokai reference
When fighting Kid Buu in Dragon World mode, when he does the vanishing drop technique it is exactly the same as the Missing Screw move that Zarbon used in the original Dragon Ball Z: Budokai .
Defeating Kid Buu
Play as Goten or Kid Trunks. Have them be Super Saiyan and have two capsules of Kamehameha or Buster Cannon. Also get a quick fire type move such as Continuous Kamehameha (if Trunks has one). This works well because if you are tall (like Goku), you will kick over Buu’s head.
