Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) | comment |
The fighting video game series, known as Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! in Japan, based upon the popular Shōnen manga series.Unlike the Budokai series, which was developed by Dimps, this series was developed by Spike. While the first game was released exclusively on the PlayStation 2, the second and third titles would get ports to the Wii.Gameplay in this series is focused on freeform movement, literally being able to go wherever the player wanted; take cover and power up or fly right into the opponent's face, it's all your call. There were also destroyable environments for the players to knock each other into (or destroy on their own), which may also contain the Dragon Balls. (In versus, it's health, ki, and favorite gauge restoratives from BT2 onward.)On March 5, 2023, a teaser trailer was released that revealed a new installment for this series — Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO — was in the works for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, more than 15-16 years after the third game's release (13 if counting Tenkaichi Tag Team). The new installment promises a "historic" amount of playable characters, including from Dragon Ball Super, and also the first game in the franchise to use Unreal Engine 5. | |

Power Creep, Power Seep | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_14dfb81 | comment |
Power Creep, Power Seep: In these games, Kid Goku and Raditz can feasibly take on Majin Buu and Broly, and actually win. However, the games' balance generally does roughly reflect the canonical power level of the characters, so the aforementioned Kid Goku and Raditz are thoroughly outclassed by most other characters, while the likes of Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta and Omega Shenron have a significant advantage over the rest of the cast. | |

You Can't Thwart Stage One: Averted in the What If story "Destined Rivals". With Gohan and Videl dropping out of the tournament early on, Dabura and Babadi don't have the energy needed to properly jumpstart Majin Buu's revival, giving Piccolo and Shin enough time to take them down... and Goku and Vegeta to blow them up to kingdom come. | |

Shows Damage | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_15aed120 | comment |
Shows Damage: Typically, the amount of dealt damage (and optionally, the combo meter) will show to the side of the character dealing the blows. In Budokai Tenkaichi 2, dropping below 20000 HP (yellow health bar with brown background, one green gauge glowing) will make the character adopt a "damaged" animation. Smashing him onto the ground or hitting him with any energy-based Blast 2 / Ultimate Blast will let real signs of damage appear, as a completely new texture takes over. However, if the character somehow heals beyond that threshold (such as in Training Mode, with some real hard beatdown), he will stay in his torn clothes, only reverting back to his "healthy" stance. Budokai Tenkaichi 3 differs in two ways : The threshold for entering "damaged" stance is 10000 HP. The clothing isn't affected, so a fighter can be thrown around, be struck by several blasts, or even die, and still have his clothing intact. Rush Ultimate Blasts (such as Super Saiyan 3 and 4 Goku's Dragon Fist) will lead to the opponent adopting their damaged clothing. However, as pointed out, if their health is above 10000, they will still come back up as if they were just brought down to the ground. Energy-based Blast clashes (say, Galick Gun vs. Final Flash) will end up tearing the loser's clothes as well. Common to the two games, as to express how dire the situation is for them, the characters will speak one-liners after the first time they are laid in the ground with their clothes damaged. | |

The first game in the series would combine Cell and Buu Saga Vegeta into one character slot, Vegeta would end up having five playable variants in 2 and 3: there's Scouter (his self from the Saiyan-Namek Sagas), Androids Saga Vegeta, Buu Saga Vegeta, Majin Vegeta, and finally Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta from GT. There's also Vegeta from GT when he was possessed by the parasitic Tuffle, Baby Vegeta. | |

Ditching the Dub Names: This is the first game in the Sparking! series to use the name worldwide, dropping the Budokai Tenkaichi market-based subtitle. This led to some confusion amongst fans, though the trailers and marketing still refer to it as a Budokai Tenkaichi game. | |

Easter Egg | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: All chapters in Dragon History can be beaten in different ways without needing to follow the railroaded or pre-scripted events that can be triggered by certain prompts. While this can result in revised dialogue to reflect the character that beat the opponent, sometimes it can result in a different final opponent for the chapter (see Boss-Altering Consequence). | |

Limit Break | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Meta-Cooler and Androids, with the exception of Cell, cannot charge Ki traditionally, and have to wait until the gauge fills up on its own to charge their Limit Break. Gero and Android 19 function slightly differently from other Androids, in that their gauge stops filling after a certain point, forcing them to either steal energy from their opponent by grabbing them, or absorb ki attacks thrown by their opponent (including specials). In addition, they are all immune to the "Drain Life" attack used by Androids 19 and 20 as well as Cell, and they cannot be sensed by Ki or Scouter. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Base Form Goku's Spirit Bomb Ultimate is one of the most powerful attacks in the game, as not only is it unblockable, but you can use the "Please Share Your Energy With Me!" Blast 1 to amplify its damage up to three times. However, you are required to use said Blast 1 at least once in order to use the attack, meaning you need to spend somewhere between 3 to 7 Blast Stocks (the Blast 1 takes 2 Blast Stock charges to use every time, and 1 Blast Stock is required to enter MAX Power mode). Keep in mind, you can still miss the attack even with all that hard work. You're better off using Goku's Boring, but Practical combos or going Super Saiyan onwards to use their not as powerful, but still easier to use Ultimate Attacks. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_311500f5 | comment |
Breaking Old Trends: This is the first of the series to release with its Japanese name in the west, Sparking!, as the game is called Sparking! Zero globally. Likewise, it's also the first to not be called Dragon Ball Z. Blast Struggles no longer require you to rapidly spin any control sticks or mash any attack button, instead taking cues from Budokai 3 where you have to time button presses with a constantly filling gauge in order to boost your strength. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: In spite of Hercule's flaws, he does have the advantage of having a near perfect counter in his "Present Bomb" technique: any character in range will automatically pick it up, even if they are attacking. This even stops rush moves in their tracks. A good player can strategically use this along with his somewhat fast charging speed to No-Sell an opponent's strategy. Videl may have really weak attacks, but she charges super fast and her rushes come out near instantly. By the time her foe has come out of hitstun, she can usually use another. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
During the first battle of the Frieza Saga, "Super Saiyan?!" the player is expected to defeat Recoome, Jeice, and Burter in a row as Goku. If the player lets the fight between Goku and Recoome drag out, eventually a prompt will appear, where pressing it will cause Nail to show up. This will result in a Sequential Boss fight where Nail fights Recoome followed by Jeice, though unlike some of the other optional encounters, Nail's health doesn't recover between the two fights. | |

Combo Breaker: The series has a lot of variations, but uses up Ki and the opponent can counter your counter attack, to having a Beehive Barrier sort of shield appear with a secondary Mana Meter that's not the Ki Gauge, but the delay is longer than the opponents recovery time, so you can't start a combo with it, and an easily executable knockback wave Cast from Hit Points that gives a fair chance to fight back and start a combo. | |

Boring, but Practical: The explosive wave is the most common Blast 1 attack in the game, but it's a very effective and cheap defensive move when pressured. Full Power Energy Wave. It's just a laser and half the cast shares the move, but it's quick, strong, and efficient. | |

Downplayed but Kamehameha and its Super Kamehameha variant counts as this too. Being a Dragon Ball game, this is very justified. | |

Actionized Sequel | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_4389e368 | comment |
Actionized Sequel: Even though the foundations are built on top of what Tenkaichi 3 brought to the series, the developers sought to increase it even more with much more dynamic and destructible environments and attacks, movement speed has been greatly increased with additional mobility and offensive/defensive options, and the Blast Stock gauge (now called "Skill Count") refills at a much faster rate compared to previous entries. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Aside from the Video Game 3D Leap, there a a bunch of differences that made the first Tenkaichi game stand out as the experimental transition from Budokai's 2D roots: There are no team battles, which means there are also no mid-battle fusions. You can't transform mid-battle. You only have one health bar, as opposed to the Budokai games and future titles giving you at least two to start and expand upon. Rush-based Finishing Moves have infinite range, as opposed to later titles where characters would only dash a certain distance before stopping for some moves. Movie based Sagas only has one fight, and only four was adapted (Cooler's Revenge, Bojack Unbound, Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, and Fusion Reborn). Cooler's pre-transformed state is unplayable. Goku doesn't turn Super Saiyan when fighting Final Form Cooler in the Z-Battle Gate, unintentionally creating a case where Goku becomes an Adaptational Badass (or Cooler becomes an Adaptational Wimp, your call). GT sagas also had one fight, and only two was adapted (The Baby Saga and the Super 17 Saga. Despite SSJ4 Gogeta being in the game, Omega Shenron was not, thus the Shadow Dragon Saga was excluded from the Z Battle Gate) Only in What-If sagas were you allowed to play as the villains. Certain characters that would've been logically obtained by playing the story mode were locked behind the Item Fusion menu. This included characters like Full Power Frieza and Super Vegito. You can infinitely spam the combo Ki Wave attack, allowing you to cheese through certain fights. The Heavy Smash command was mapped to the X button following a Rush Attack, as opposed to later games where it could be activated by performing certain combo strings. Like the Ki Wave, this can also be infinitely spammed. You have to build up your combo in order to get a full charge attack, which varies depending on the character in question. You couldn't charge up moves like the Kamehameha or the Special Beam Cannon. Everyone could only carry 3 Blast Stocks max. Only Beam VS Beam and Rush VS Rush struggles were possible, as beam attacks could instantly pierce through any energy ball attacks. You were also granted Mercy Invincibility when firing your energy attacks. Your Ki gauge wasn't split into five bars like in the later games. Having your charge interrupted when trying to enter MAX Power/Sparking mode would reset the blue MAX gauge back to 0, forcing you to charge it back up again. You have to enter an onscreen button combination to recover from an attack that sent you flying. You have to wish for Kid Goku, Master Roshi, General Tao, The Great Ape and Great Ape Vegeta (Scouter) using the Dragon Balls, unlike later games where you could unlock them by playing through the story mode or they are already available from the beginnng. You have to wish for the option to use Password characters. You're only allowed one password character (as opposed to later games giving you 10 slots worth of password characters) and the passwords has to come from Budokai 3 Scrolling through certain characters transformations reveals transformations that would eventually be split off into their own character slot, such as Majin and SSJ4 Vegeta being listed under base Vegeta, and Mecha Frieza being listed under 1st Form Frieza. Not a single Ultimate Move is capable of destroying the arena. Dying Namek is not in the game. Department of Redundancy Department was in effect, with Super Vegeta being labeled as Super Vegeta [Super Saiyan], same with Perfect Cell (Labeled as Perfect Cell [Perfect Form]) and SSJ4 Gogeta (Labeled as Super Gogeta [Super Saiyan 4]). Later games would labeled them as simply Super Vegeta, Cell [Perfect] and Gogeta [Super Saiyan 4]. The game randomly chose the battle music for you, unlike in previous games where songs were linked to certain stages/story battles, and in later games where you could freely choose which song to fight to. There is actually one song that is programmed to play when you recreate the original Dragon Ball fights (when you pick Kid Goku and fight against Master Roshi, for example). The song is Move Forward Fearlessly. The English version of this game reused tracks from the Budokai games. 2 and 3 feature original soundtracks. Unlike in other games where the story mode is narrated by Kyle Hebert, the Z-Battle Gate in this game is narrated by Sean Schemmel using his King Kai voice. Some story matches required you to defeat the opponent with a specific attack or survive for a limited amount of time in order to progress to the next chapter. While Tenkaichi 2 does have its share of survival missions, they were very few and far in-between compared to Tenkaichi 1, and Tenkaichi 3 ends up dropping mission requirements all together. In later games, most Energy-based Blast 2s were multi-hit attacks, and Rush Blast 2s has each individual hit counted and calculated to generate the total damage. Here, every Blast 2 counts as a singular hit, regardless of how long the attack lasts or how many strikes the fighter gets in during the animation, with only a vague damage indicator appearing at the end if it lands. Some characters doesn't have their most known moves or those are altered somehow: Every "Power Rush" or "Speed Rush" move is visually the same for every character, with a few exceptions. There are not techniques that involve third parties coming to help, so some moves like Teen Gohan's Father-Son Kamehameha (ft. Goku) or Gohan and Goten's Family Kamehameha aren't in the game, being replaced by just regular Super Kamehamehas. The closest to a third party in a movement would be Tien screaming "Chiaotzu!" in the latter's Ultimate Attack. Goku has to be in Kaioken mode to use the Kaioken Attack. The Dragon Fist is not in the game. Super Saiyan 3 Goku has a generic Super Kamehameha as his Ultimate Attack while this game marks the only time Super Saiyan 4 Goku's Kamehameha x10 was restricted to an Ultimate (it was also blue, instead of red). Kid Gohan's signature Masenko is restricted as an Ultimate move. Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta uses the Final Flash as an Ultimate Move instead of the Final Shine Attack. Krillin's Destructo Disk consist in just two energy disks instead of the six he launches in latter games. Tien's Ki Blast Cannon (which is actually a Tri-Beam) and Neo Tri-Beam are not only shown as Kamehameha-like blast attacks instead of the square shaped energy blasts they should look like, but they also don't consume Tien's health bar. Also you can't charge Neo Tri-Beam and launch multiple blasts, instead you can throw just one blast. Super Saiyan Trunks (Fighter) has a Finish Buster as his Ultimate Attack instead of his Heat Dome Attack. Bardock doesn't have his signature Final Revenger or Final Spirit Cannon attacks. Janemba's Dimensional Sword Attack is just Dabura's Darkness Sword Attack. | |

Cast from Hit Points: Ginyu's Self-Harm Blast 1 does exactly that, but at least you get a modest boost to your stats for a little bit. Tenshinhan's Ultimate Blast eats up a portion of his health at each launched blast, since the attack can be used as many times in a row as wanted. Janemba's transformation into Super Janemba is the only transformation in the game that takes up a certain amount of health upon activation, taking 25% of Janemba's current health. | |

Multi-Slot Character | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_5f77b0b7 | comment |
Multi-Slot Character: The series does this very often, particularly 3, as when a character has multiple forms, the game uses the forms as separate characters, resulting in choosing a Goku and having 7 different forms to choose to start with. 3 also splits some of the characters into time periods, meaning that, for example, you can play as Goku from the Saiyan Saga, the Frieza Saga, or the Android and Majin Buu Sagas. Each version and form has their own moveset. Because of this, 3 has 161 playable characters with them being some variants or being composed of a familiar character based on a specific period in the source material. In 3, Goku has five different playable versions of himself (not counting transformations), separated into Early, Middle, End from the Z-era as distinct characters, Kid Goku from the original Dragon Ball, and the GT-version of Goku. Gohan likewise is split between Kid, Pre-Teen, and his Teenaged selves, along with his Ultimate transformation being a separate character. BT3 would make his counterpart from Trunks' Bad Future a distinct playable character as well, complete with his own moveset. The first game in the series would combine Cell and Buu Saga Vegeta into one character slot, Vegeta would end up having five playable variants in 2 and 3: there's Scouter (his self from the Saiyan-Namek Sagas), Androids Saga Vegeta, Buu Saga Vegeta, Majin Vegeta, and finally Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta from GT. There's also Vegeta from GT when he was possessed by the parasitic Tuffle, Baby Vegeta. Future Trunks is separated into two characters based on two periods in the Androids Saga; one where he fights with his Sword at the start of the arc, and the another is based on when he came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and fights without his sword against Cell. Sparking! ZERO would also add his Super incarnation as he appeared during the Goku Black/Future Trunks Saga. Piccolo in BT3 is represented by his Early and End forms, with the former encompassing his appearances in the Saiyan-Namek Saga and the latter during the Androids Saga after fusing with Kami. Both Frieza and Cooler in BT3 are split into separate characters as both their normal selves and their cyborg forms after their near death experiences. All four variants of Buu are present in the series' roster, including Fat Majin Buu, Evil Buu, Super Buu, and Kid Buu. | |

Old Save Bonus: Budokai Tenkaichi 1 had a password machine that allowed the player to use custom characters created in Budokai 3. Budokai Tenkaichi 2 rewarded players with a Budokai Tenkaichi 1 save file on their memory card with 100000 Zenny, that game's (and the next one's) currency. The PS2 version of Budokai Tenkachi 3 allowed players to access one specific mode from each of the first two games using the Disc Fusion feature. | |

Comeback Mechanic: Some Z-Items raise specific attributes starting from when the character takes 10 000 HP in damage. The more he's damaged, the more the buff is effective. Each attribute (attack, speed, defense, ki) benefits of one item, and they only take up a slot out of a maximum of 7 each, so they can easily be assembled together. | |

Joke Character | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_8f1ec2c5 | comment |
Joke Character: Most of the characters from the original Dragon Ball cannot fly, have lower health, and have weaker supers. Some of them lack ki blasts at all, having them replaced with a charged strong punch. Hercule shares all of the weaknesses described above (although he throws rocks instead of a charged punch) with the additional weakness of being unable to flinch anyone with his uncharged punches. He is also completely useless against even the weakest of giant characters. Videl is a more downplayed version, but her ki blasts are almost completely useless — even when charged — and she only has rush specials that do low damage. And like her father, she is completely useless against even the weakest of giant characters. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: Completing a Tournament in World Tour Mode (where the tournament chosen cycles through 5 types depending on the in-game time) can net you different prizes like extra characters or arenas depending on the difficulty you beat it on. However, the difficulty is chosen for you at complete random, so you have to constantly shift the time forward until you get to the tournament you want and maybe the difficulty you want as well. Yamcha's Game is a less-complicated example, as the game randomly chooses the character for you. Even Hercule notes how dumb this is. | |

A Day in the Limelight: Raditz, a character who only appeared in the opening arc of the Saiyan Saga, gets to star in his own What If? story, where he loses his memory, becomes an Amnesiac Hero, and even warns Goku about the oncoming Saiyan attack from Vegeta and Nappa. Zarbon, a character who only appeared in the beginning half of the Frieza Saga on Namek, gets his own What If? scenario where he successfully manages to scheme against Frieza, pit him and his brother against each other. He even manages to claim the Dragon Balls for himself and get his wish of eternal youth, but this wish ends up being useless when Frieza discovers his treachery and almost dies fighting him. Zarbon then teams up with Goku to fight off Frieza, which does get him to back off. Unfortunately, due to Krillin using the Earth Dragon Balls to teleport Goku off of Namek, Zarbon is trapped on the planet, while Frieza and Cooler's battle escalates to the point where it is destroyed, Zarbon being killed in the process. | |

Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_9e236a98 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: The games, especially Budokai Tenkaichi 3 does a very good job of integrating the story with the gameplay seamlessly. The segregation parts is intentional in the "What-If Saga?" which is designed to be exactly that. Some minor segregation is base form Goku (Mid) having the Meteor Combination attack, despite being an attack that would be more fitting on Goku (Early) as the attack was only used in Dragon Ball when Goku fought Piccolo Jr. Another segregation is that Goku's battle against Raditz in the Saiyan Saga allows him to use the Kaioken-based attacks and Spirit Bomb, despite not knowing theses attacks at this point in the story. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_9e943076 | comment |
If the player equips an attribute-enhancing Z Item to a character (such as +3 Health or so), and repeatedly fights with it, this item gains in efficiency as well. Since Goku is the one taking part of most (if not all) of the story mode battles, starting off with basic +1 enhancers will inevitably lead to a One-Man Army. The enhancement's consequences can be seen when replaying any early mission. | |

No-Sell: Certain characters will have weak energy blasts bounce off by being in MAX power. A Red Potara makes it so the most powerful Kamehameha from the most powerful characters in MAX power mode will only do two digits in damage. In a game where a health bar is 10,000 points. Perfect Guard does this to anything that is blockable. This is the effect of the Devilmite Beam on someone purehearted like Goku. | |

Giant Equals Invincible: Downplayed. While giant combatants can still be defeated by smaller ones, they don't flinch against normal attacks and can't be harmed by (most) combo specialsnote There are a few exceptions. some rushes have a "piercing" effect and let them hit giant characters". Some examples include every variation of Dragon Fist, and Tapion and Yajirobe's Ultimate Blast swords slices. In a case of Shown Their Work, these attacks were used on giant characters In-Universe, usually in iconic scenes.. Attacking with Ki-based attacks, on the other hand... | |

Mechanically Unusual Class | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_b7371b70 | comment |
Mechanically Unusual Class: Meta-Cooler and Androids, with the exception of Cell, cannot charge Ki traditionally, and have to wait until the gauge fills up on its own to charge their Limit Break. Gero and Android 19 function slightly differently from other Androids, in that their gauge stops filling after a certain point, forcing them to either steal energy from their opponent by grabbing them, or absorb ki attacks thrown by their opponent (including specials). In addition, they are all immune to the "Drain Life" attack used by Androids 19 and 20 as well as Cell, and they cannot be sensed by Ki or Scouter. Many of the human level characters, such as Mr. Satan, Nam, Tao Pai Pai, or Kid Goku, lack the ability to fly, instead trying to stay in the air, and a few introduced in 3 even lack Ki attacks, instead having a chargeable stun attack, along with the characters having no aura. 3's character customization allows you to circumvent the inability to fly by equipping a "Flight" Potara, as well as adding an aura. | |

Boss-Altering Consequence | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_b915b765 | comment |
Boss-Altering Consequence: Tenkaichi 3's Dragon History single-player campaign has its story events laid out to replicate the original source material as faithfully as it can be, with certain events being triggered by button prompts (either allowing a new character to switch in, has the character transforming, etc.). If a player defeats an opponent during a certain phase of the fight by fulfilling a specific condition, this can sometimes result in a new final opponent of the chapter: During the first battle of the Frieza Saga, "Super Saiyan?!" the player is expected to defeat Recoome, Jeice, and Burter in a row as Goku. If the player lets the fight between Goku and Recoome drag out, eventually a prompt will appear, where pressing it will cause Nail to show up. This will result in a Sequential Boss fight where Nail fights Recoome followed by Jeice, though unlike some of the other optional encounters, Nail's health doesn't recover between the two fights. During the "Cell Games Begin" chapter, if the player loses the prompted fist clash as Goku and gets hit with the following Kamehameha from Cell, when Goku is switched out, Hercule will appear first, allowing the player the chance to win the chapter as him. Downplayed as if the player loses as Hercule, Gohan will be swapped in like nothing happened, only providing an optional dialogue and ending. During the Buu Saga chapter "Destined Battle," Goku fights Majin Vegeta, if no prompts are triggered during the fight and the player beats Majin Vegeta, the Dabura will come out and fight Goku. If Majin Buu is defeated by Majin Vegeta during his playable segment in "Farewell, Proud Warrior" and the player only triggers the first event, Babidi will appear as the final opponent. During "Blaze! Unstoppable Battle", the chapter where Goku fights Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, if the player drags the fight out until Goku's health gets low enough, a button event will appear that switches Goku out for Master Roshi. During the Dragon Ball Saga chapter "Goku Strikes Back!", if the player activates the first prompt and beats Demon King Piccolo without activating the second, Tambourine will be the final opponent of the chapter, and you'll have to fight him as Kid Chi-Chi. | |

Weaksauce Weakness: For all their size, giant characters are just as vulnerable to beams as everyone else, and their large size leave them unable to dodge as effectively. They sorta make up for it by being immune to grab and rush attacks. | |

Subverted Trope | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_c145f69b | comment |
Subverted in the Buu Saga where the player controls Hercule in a fight against Android 18 on the World Tournament stage. While 18 can indeed kill Hercule with just a few well-aimed Blast 2 attacks while even an upgraded Hercule will do the equivalent of Scratch Damage with his Blast 2s, the fight is intended to be won by throwing 18 out of bounds, which can be done as easily as spamming Hercule's "King of Dynamite" Blast 2 to throw her past the ring edge. He gets to repeat himself against her and later Krillin in the What If? scenario "Destined Rivals". | |

Character Level | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_c1c29f00 | comment |
Character Level: If the player equips an attribute-enhancing Z Item to a character (such as +3 Health or so), and repeatedly fights with it, this item gains in efficiency as well. Since Goku is the one taking part of most (if not all) of the story mode battles, starting off with basic +1 enhancers will inevitably lead to a One-Man Army. The enhancement's consequences can be seen when replaying any early mission. The characters themselves are given a certain "level" which is the sum of their attributes, so any non-enhanced character will be at level 8, since there are 8 attributes at level 1. Each attribute can be raised to 20, making the level cap 160. Enter level 255 CPUs. | |

Sparking!

Word Sequel: Averted for the Japanese titles, as the Sparking! series always had words to indicate it being a sequel, while the English titles play this straight, as they were numbered, though the subtitle is incidentally a number, zero. The choice to use Sparking! ZERO as the subtitle, according to the game's producer Jun Furutani, was less to indicate this game being a sequel, but being a Jumping-On Point for newcomers. | |

Shout-Out: The plot of the What If? chapter "Affectionate Android," starring Androids 8 and 16 is very similar to the plot of Terminator 2: Judgment Day — an evil army/scientist (Dr. Gero/Skynet) sends a robot (Android 16/The T-1000) back in time to kill the younger form of a hero (Goku/John Connor), but another robot (Android 8/T-800) protects him. Only difference is that 16 undergoes a Heel–Face Turn and survives. | |

Developer's Foresight: All of the fights featured in the Dragon History single-player campaign can be beaten by any of the characters that appear in the chapter, which will result in unique ending dialogues and cutscenes. This can result in things like Tien or Chiaotzu beating Nappa during the Saiyan Saga instead of them being killed so Goku can take their place. | |

Dub Name Change | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Dragon Ball in general goes through this a lot but some attack names are treated differently from each other where some characters who share the same attack may say the Japanese name instead. A few attacks get a literal translation rather than use their localized names while others go untranslated. Tien's Tri-Beam attack is written as "Ki Blast Cannon" despite announcing the attack as Tri-Beam. On the other hand, Neo Tri-Beam keeps its name. Chiaotzu's Ultimate is called "Farewell, Mr. Tien", despite Chiaotzu in the English dub never calling Tien by "Mister". This is because Chiaotzu calls Tien "Ten-san" in Japanese, the -san honorific being a respectful honorific similar to saying Mr., Miss. or Mrs. Solar Flare is pronounced differently between characters. Early! Goku, Tien and Krillin pronounce it as "Solar Flare" while base form GT Goku says "Taiy�ken" instead. An obscure and slightly downplayed example with Dragon Fist. SSJ3 Goku yells out "Dragon Fist" when using it, despite the dub using the name "Dragon Fire" in its debut in Movie 13. However, the GT anime calls the attack Dragon Fist and the change in name for SSJ3 Goku is likely to keep consistency. | |

Divergent Character Evolution | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_e5d37e0f | comment |
Divergent Character Evolution: As entries of the games have been released, character animations have become more distinct and each blast attack are given a unique name or animation for a specific character that is based heavily on the anime scenes. Raditz, for example, has a Gekiretsu Madan variant and his Rush Attack is little more than juggling the opponent in 2. 3 gives him a lone Energy Ball, and a new version of his Rush Attack where he attacks the opponent from behind. Vegeta (Scouter) and Android Saga!Vegeta are also good examples of this as in the first game, they have completely identical movesets and Blasts to the point that without the scouter, one wouldn't even know who they are playing with. But by the second game, Vegeta (Scouter) received distinct Blast attacks (Such as Final Garlic Cannon and Dirty Fireworks) and both have their own transformations, making for an easier differentiation between them. | |

GameplayAndStoryIntegration | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b | comment |
Gameplay and Story Integration: In the original series, Devil Man's Devilmite Beam only works if there are negative thoughts in the target's mind. In the game, it deals damage, but it depends on the character: the more evil they are, the higher the damage dealt. If the target happens to be pure of heart, nothing happens.note The production staff really went into depth on this one - if a good or good-ish character has multiple forms, each form has a different amount assigned to it. For example: Normal Goku won't take damage, but Super Saiyan Goku will, likely because he goes from pure of heart to fight-happy. Muten Roshi (pervert) will take more damage than Buff Muten Roshi (desires suppressed), who will take token damage. While you can't otherwise make a team full of the same character, you can make full teams of Saibamen, Cell Juniors, and Meta-Coolers, which reflect the former two's expendable status in canon, and the latter's abilities derived from the Big Gete Star. A character with an Oozaru transformation that never demonstrated the ability to create an artificial moon needs to be playing on a night variant of a stage (which all have the full moon visible) to transform. | |

They all have the following Yellow Potara abilities: Health +30000 All stats +3 Sturdy Body (won't be easily stunned) Will also easily stun opponents Guard Crushes remove a huge amount of Ki Also, can't be Guard Crushed Health and Ki are slowly recovered Ki charges ultra fast All 4 power ups Vanish Attack/Dragon Homing +2 Blast 1 costs -1 Blast 2/UB/Ki Blasts costs half Various movements will cost no Ki at all (Dragon Dashes, for instance) Movements whose costs aren't nullified will only cost half Ki Auto Afterimage while in Max Power Takes no damage while guarding Gains huge advantage in Clashes Dodging a barrage type Blast once makes the character dodge the rest automatically. And probably the most overpowered ability of them all, the ability to finish an opponent off with a single Blast 2 attack, dealing 99 999 damage. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: In the story mode, Piccolo vs Raditz, Gohan and Krillin vs Dodoria, and Goten vs Gohan are battles that the player are supposed to lose, and if it's the first time playing those battles, likely will lose. Winning them is optional, but the only way to unlock three What If? scenarios. Subverted in the Buu Saga where the player controls Hercule in a fight against Android 18 on the World Tournament stage. While 18 can indeed kill Hercule with just a few well-aimed Blast 2 attacks while even an upgraded Hercule will do the equivalent of Scratch Damage with his Blast 2s, the fight is intended to be won by throwing 18 out of bounds, which can be done as easily as spamming Hercule's "King of Dynamite" Blast 2 to throw her past the ring edge. He gets to repeat himself against her and later Krillin in the What If? scenario "Destined Rivals". Subverted in the Cell Saga, he finds himself pitted against Perfect Cell for the Cell Games opener. This, however, is a Timed Mission, and the game explicitly requires you to stay alive until time runs out. | |

Department of Redundancy Department | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_fc151e9d | comment |
Department of Redundancy Department was in effect, with Super Vegeta being labeled as Super Vegeta [Super Saiyan], same with Perfect Cell (Labeled as Perfect Cell [Perfect Form]) and SSJ4 Gogeta (Labeled as Super Gogeta [Super Saiyan 4]). Later games would labeled them as simply Super Vegeta, Cell [Perfect] and Gogeta [Super Saiyan 4]. | |

Situational Damage Attack | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_fef3305b | comment |
Situational Damage Attack: While most attacks are either fixed or charged, the damage of Babidi's Ultimate Blast depends on the amount of successful grabs beforehand, and Devilman's depends on the Character Alignment of the opponent — if they're more evil, they take more damage. Hercule's Dynamic Mess Up Punch will randomly either do 5000 or 1 damage.invoked | |

Shown Their Work | |
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has many hidden details and mechanics in the game to make it as lore accurate as possible. Standout features include Devil Man's Devilmite Beam (which deals damage based on how evil a character is) having different damage outputs for each character where the team went above and beyond. While Goku is canonically unaffected as expected, characters like King Piccolo and Janemba take the most damage, Super Saiyan forms of characters take more damage than their base forms (including Goku) while characters like Goten, Chi-Chi and Arale take no damage. An interesting exception to the Super Saiyan rule is Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta who takes less damage than all the Vegeta forms except base Buu Saga Vegeta. While a lot of characters are a Moveset Clone to each other, other characters have completely original moves. Examples are a lot of Future Trunks' Sword special attacks in his base form and Super Vegito's Final Kamehameha. | |
