Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors, released in Japasn as Dragon Ball Z 舞空 闘劇 (ドラゴン ボール ゼット ぶくう とうげき, Doragon Bōru Zetto: Bukū Tōgeki), is a fighting game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

Story

It begins at the start of the Saiyan Saga and ends at the conclusion of the Kid Buu Saga.

Gameplay

Goku vs. Vegeta

The game pits two characters from the Dragon Ball Z series against each other in large environments where they mostly fight in the air. The player can use strong and weak variations of close combat attacks, and charge their ki to fire strong and weak energy blasts. Each character also has three unique Certain Kill abilities that deal heavy damage to the opponent. The Certain Kill ability varies depending on where the player is located – above, below, or horizontal to the opponent

Each character has three "levels" which makes them stronger and occasionally changes their sprites and abilities. This is used in Story Mode to simulate the characters being stronger or weaker than their opponents.

Some characters have special abilities which can be activated by charging ki to 100% and then press both the L and R buttons at the same time. These special abilities represent power ups (like LV1 Goku's Kaio-ken)

The player can also fight as a team, during which two or three characters are stacked up with their own health bars and can be changed between by pressing the L button.

Game modes

Story mode

Goku's Story mode

Story mode lets the player select a character and go through a unique story, each with eight battles. Each character has a "What If" scenario which differs from the original Dragon Ball Z story, but there are also three scenarios that follow the Namek Saga, Androids Saga, and Buu Sagas. Certain "What If" scenarios also have a "Special Edition" ninth battle (such as Piccolo being revived and sparring with Gohan).

Z Battle mode

Victory in Z Battle mode.

Z Battle mode lets the player fight against 8 opponents either alone or with a team. The mode ranks the player after completion and grants points.

Challenge mode

Challenge mode pits the player against teams of certain characters one at a time. As the player defeats each team, new teams are unlocked. The harder the team, the more points the player gets. You cannot go over the Level 4 limit with your characters.

Training mode

Training mode menu

Training mode allows the player to fight their opponent like a punching bag, choosing which opponent, their level, and the location.

Free Battle mode

In Free Battle mode, the player can create their own fight and there are no limits to the player's levels.

Remote VS. mode

Remote VS. mode lets the player link up with another Game Boy Advance and battle a friend.

Option mode

Option mode lets the player change the game's difficulty, unlock new characters, or view rankings of various scores you have gotten in different modes in the game. Unlocking characters and story modes costs points, which are obtained by winning battles, completing story modes, etc.

It also includes a "museum" where the player can view the game's illustrations as displayed after completing the respective stories in story mode and listen to the characters' quotes which are otherwise heard during battle. Note that this is only available after acquiring the required amount of points.

Trivia

• Super Saiyans' eye color are blue in the game, which is different from all other media in which their eyes are green.
• Super Boo's alternate costume somewhat resembles that of Majin Buu (Pure Evil) although the skin is more purple than dark grey.
• At LV3, Kuririn can use two of North Kaio's techniques, the Kaio-ken (as a Special Ability) and the Genki Dama. These techniques are taught to Kuririn by Goku (who dies of the Heart Virus, but returns to Planet Earth for one day to teach Kuririn the Genki Dama Bomb and Kaio-ken which would give Kuririn a chance to defeat Cell) in Kuririn's What If story. Kuririn defeats Cell using the Genki Dama and later fights against Majin Boo who he defeats with the Kamehameha (with assistance from Goku in the Next World).
• Freeza has a similar power to the Kaio-ken (as a Special Ability) in all three levels, though it has a purple aura instead of red.
