When youmust fight Kid Buu, Goku and Vegeta will sense another power. Go to the red dot to fight Broly (who is very huge). Defeat him to unlock him.
Successfully complete Goku's story twice in Dragon Universe mode. Then, in the Buu Saga, when you get to the part when Mystic Gohan gets absorbed by Super Buu and Goku starts looking for someone to fuse with, look around the area. You should see a "???" on a scroll of paper. Land there. Goku will start talking to Hercule, then leave. Next, fly to the red dot. Before landing on it, look around the area. You will see "???" on a scroll. Land there, and you will see Tien. Goku will see Tien injured, and he will leave. Then, go to the dot, fuse with Vegeta, and beat up Super Buu by using Vegito. After that, a dialogue will appear with Vegito being absorbed. After that, defeat Super Buu inside his own body, and after that a dialogue will appear with Kid Buu destroying Earth. You will then be able to fly around. However before you land on the dot, search around the area where the red dot is found. You will see "Mountains" written on a scroll of paper. Land there, and you will talk with Kibitoshin. He will say that a power greater than Buu has arrived on Earth. Vegeta will say that he will hold off Kid Buu while you check out this new power. After that dialogue, fly to the red dot and it will be Broly. Defeat him to unlock him. He will have a story in Dragon Universe mode. You can also use him in Tournament, Dueling, Practice, etc.
Use the following trick to unlock Broly, Goku (SS4), Gogeta, Gogeta (SS4), and Omega Shenron (with Goku). Before looking for Vegeta for the Vegito Fusion in the Buu Saga, look for Hercule near where Buu absorbed Gohan. Slightly southwest of the red dot you, should find Tien. He is unconscious. Just south of him you will find Supreme Kai. He will say he feels a larger force then Majin Buu. Fuse and fight Buu. During the final fight, instead of fighting Kid Buu, Vegeta will tell you to find the larger power and defeat it. Defeat Broly to get his capsule. After Goten and Trunks will challenge you to a Fusion, fight at the World Tournament Arena as Gotenks against Gogeta. Instead of fighting him, look for a "???" to the northeast of the World Tournament on one of the small islands. There you should get Goku's SS4 capsule. From here, go to West City near the bridge. Talk to Bulma about the Dragon Radar. Afterwards, go to the World Tournament and take on Gotenks. After defeating him, you will get Gogeta's Capsule and Omega Shenron will appear. Go to Central City. Once there you will fuse with SS4 Vegeta and get the SS4 Gogeta capsule. Defeat Omega as SS4 Gogeta to get his capsule. Note: These are the five most difficult characters to get in the game.
Effective techniques with Broly
Broly's large body gives you an advantage over most opponents, even the very small ones. Constantly attacking your opponent with physical and Ki attacks can cause heavy damage, but may leave you open to counter attacks. Holding R1 launches Broly's Clothesline, which sends opponents flying backwards. This is very effective in World Tournament matches. To gain an easy victory, practice doing the following: fight with your opponent using only physical attacks such as kicking and punching, increasing your Ki until you have five or more bars of energy (preferably maximum energy). Transform into the Legendary Super Saiyan when you are as close to your opponent as you can get. This will stun your opponent for a short while. As soon as you have transformed, press L2 and go into hyper mode. Your opponent should be about ready to fight again. Press L2 again before they get a chance to dodge. Note: If your opponent dodged ultimate attack, dash towards them and stop in mid air, then dodge right or left by pressing X + Up or X + Down, as they are likely to blast or punch you while you are dashing at them. Press L2 again immediately and catch your opponent off guard. This should send your opponent into the air and launch Broly's Ultimate Attack. Note: If you fail at any point during the previous combo, you can leave yourself open to a lot of damage, especially from a SS4 Goku. This requires practice, but you will eventually be able to land Broly's ultimate attack immediately.
Fight Broly multiple times
After you defeat Broly, you can fight him as many times as desired the next time on Goku's Dragon Universe story. Go to the mountain area where you fought Vegeta for the first time. Before you go to the first red dot, there should be a Battle Point. Use it to fight Broly, and level up quickly without Dragon Arena.

Cell
Defeat Cell with Teen Gohan in Dragon Universe mode to unlock Cell.
Cell Jr.

Cooler
Defeat Frieza. SS Vegeta will appear under the location where he was defeated. After defeating SS Vegeta, go to Cooler's red dot. Defeat Cooler to unlock him. Note: Before SS Vegeta will appear under where you defeated Frieza, you must play through Dragon Universe mode with Vegeta and defeat Frieza and Cooler. When this is done, SS Vegeta will appear as a red dot to the southwest of where you defeated Frieza. Defeat SS Vegeta, then go to Cooler's red dot. Defeat him to unlock him.
To unlock Cooler, who is Freeza's brother, play Goku's Dragon Universe mode a third time, or anything more than the two times. After the first time you defeat Freeza, there should be three red dots on your map. First, fly to the one to the left. It will be Vegeta Super Saiyan. He will tell you that he turned into a Super Saiyan, and defeated Freeza. Defeat Vegeta, and then you will see one red dot on your map. Fly to it, and a dialogue with Cooler will appear. Then, you will fight Cooler. Defeat him to unlock him. He will have his Final Form. Cooler can be used in tournament, practice, dueling, and all other modes except for Dragon Universe. Note: For players who are not very skilled, try to kill Cooler. Do not let him power up to his Final Form, as he will be a bit more difficult.

At some point you will find Goku's Super Sayian 4 skill. This has happened just before fusing with Vegeta to fight Super Buu, and it appeared as a "?????" at the bottom right area. However, this may vary from game to game.
Easy wins with SS4 Goku
Select the following capsules with Goku: Kaioken, SSJ, SSJ2, SSJ3, SSJ4, Kamehameha, and Spirit Bomb. Attack your opponent with physical blows, such as kicks and punches, and use combos to knock them back (without using any energy blast). When your opponent hits the floor, power up your energy. As they rise to their feet again, dash towards them and hit them so that they fall to the floor. Once your Ki is at maximum, transform into SSJ4 while standing as close as you can to your opponent. Notice that your opponent will be unguarded and stunned for a few seconds. As soon as you finish transforming, press L2 to turn into hyper mode. Then, press L2 again. If done correctly, you should send your opponent into the air and try to do a Spirit Bomb. However, the Spirit Bomb fades and the energy will flow into Goku. He will launch the Super Dragon Fist attack at your opponent. This combo can cause heavy damage quite early in the battle. Also, transforming SSJ4 next to your opponent then using your Forward + Circle Kamehameha attack will do almost one full bar of damage, as your opponent cannot block it.

Get to level 21
Start a new story in Dragon Universe mode. Go to Kami's Lookout and level up. Save your game data and quit Dragon Universe mode. Then, start a new story in Dragon Universe mode and repeat this process until your Z fighter is at level 21.
Finding capsules and items
Start your flying through the sky of your world map at the bottom left hand corner, or where your impending Boss battle will start (at the red dot). Angle your triangle indicator on the world map slightly to the right, then hold Left Analog-stick Up + L1. Make sure your arrow is at a slight angle so that you will not skip over anything. When you see a scroll flash by in the top right corner of the world map, release L1 and just hold the Left Analog-stick Down until you reach the scroll that you flew past. This is also effective when searching for the Dragon Balls themselves, with or without the Dragon Radar. If after a battle on the red dot you find yourself back at the world map, start the process over again at the red dot. New items and capsules will be added to the world map. If after visiting a scroll or city you can still see it, go back to it again. You never know what you might get during your second trip around. After defeating an opponent at the battle point scroll, you can go back to it, but it will not result in as much experience points as during the first time. Before you start flying, make sure your view is towards the ground (press the Right Analog-stick Up); sometimes you can see items (sparkling flashes of light).
Use the following trick to find the Dragon Balls easily. Go into Flying Burst mode (Left Analog-stick Up + hold L1) with the Dragon Radar on the screen (use Triangle). Zoom around the screen with a slight angle on the Right Analog-stick. Look at the Dragon Radar, and when you see an orange dot on it, stop. Turn around and fly (not on Fly Burst mode) and look around until you see an orange dot and land there.
First, find the Dragon Radar. Once you do put it on, keep going forward while holding L1. Keep looking at the Dragon Radar and you will eventually see a Dragon Ball.
Easy money
Go to any character's story in Dragon Universe mode. Start a new game and find as much money as possible on the first Earth level. Save and quit, then repeat the process as many times as desired. Additionally, Buy Sparking!!!!!!! (400%) at the skill shop and equip it to Broly. Then, enter the Adept Tournament. The first place prize is $150,000 and second place is $75,000. Alternately, have a character at level 75 to 81 defeat all Brolys, and some Omega Shenrons. Then defeat seven characters level 1 to 80 and defeat level 98 Vegeta to obtain Sparking!!!!!!! Note: Part 2 is in Dragon Arena.
Look around Earth, and in a forest there will be $8,000 or $10,000. Remember the location, save, and get out. Re-enter Dragon Universe mode and repeat the process.
Easy wins
Use the following trick to defeat Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta easily. Find a battle point and keep fighting Saibermen until your health reaches whatever level you desire. Note: It's a bad idea to keep doing it when on 10.

Make sure you have the Super Saiyan 4 capsule or Breakthrough (Goku). Keep punching or kicking your opponent until your Ki guage reads "MAX". Then, press R1. Next, use P(4), E or Toward, E to use Goku's replaced move of the Kamehameha, 10X Kamehameha. Note: You must have the 10X Kamehameha or the Breakthrough for Goku. Also, you may hold X and tap and hold the direction facing away from your opponent.
Easy way to buy moves
Keep going in and out of the Skill Shop. Sometimes you will see a recommended, Sparking ($100,000), or rare move/item, or the green capsule.
Easy power struggle wins
When you do an ultimate move, there is the power struggle that you will always lose depending on the CPU's results. The following is what to press in the power struggle:
- The first round is Square.
- The second round is Triangle.
- The third round is Circle.
Note: It is best when it reaches "MAX".
Easy World Tournament wins
This can be done with any character, but Omega Shenron is recommended. Enter the World Tournament on any difficulty setting and choose your character. At the start of each match, press Away(2) and Up/Away to one of the edges. Wait there, and when your opponent attacks, press Forward + X to warp behind them and knock them out of the ring. Sometimes you may get into a "warp battle", but if you have enough Ki, you should win. Additionally, once the match starts, press R2 to go into a rage. The opponent will start to run towards the edge. Then, just knock them out of the ring.
Unlock Kid Goku, then use him in the tournament. When you are fighting, push or go to the edge of the ring or close to it. Press R1 to push the enemy out of the ring or knock them off guard and attack him to push him off.
Easy World Tournament wins with Uub
For an easy Advanced World Tournament win, equip Ki Cannon (strong), Fierce Flurry (stronger), Potential (to raise attack), and Serious!!! (to increase attack when weakened) to Uub. Continue to use Ki Cannon to take a lot of health down. Fierce Flurry works even better. They both can knock back your opponent for a quick win. Also, use his Circle attack to knock opponents backwards. Uub is fast and small, which helps against those huge powerhouses (for example, Broly, Omega Shenron, Recoome, etc.). He also is a great dodger which helps prevent knock backs and Dragon Rushes when your opponent is in Hyper Mode. Note: This is useful for unlocking the Ultimate Moves, the Baba Crystal Ball movies, and Breakthroughs.
Dragon Rush
Use the following trick to win in Dragon Rush about 80% of the time in every match. If you start Dragon Rush, first: X; second: Triangle; third: Square. If your opponent starts Dragon Rush, use Square, Circle, or X.
Spirit Bomb/Super Dragon Fist
The Spirit Bomb is a lot more flexible in this game than its predecessors. You can not only use the Spirit Bomb, you can use the Super Dragon Fist also. You do not always have to be at SS4 to use the Super Dragon Fist. Any level beyond Super Sayain can use it (SS1, SS2, and SS3).
Flying in battles
In a battle, hold Up/Away to go in the air. When in the air you can go back down by holding Down/Away.
Super punch with Broly
When you use Broly after transforming, you can deliver a devastating punch by tapping Forward(2), Circle. This is best done when finishing off an opponent or knocking your opponent into a obstacle or out of the ring in World Tournament mode. Note: You may phase behind your opponent when you hit him or her.
All moves with Cell
Unlock Cell by completing Teen Gohan's Dragon Universe mode. Then in the Capsule Shop, Cell's Kamehameha, #17 Absorption, and Energy Field will appear randomly. In Teen Gohan's Dragon Universe mode, go to Cell's Time Machine. You should get his Perfect Form. Again in Teen Gohan's Dragon Universe mode, defeat Super Perfect Cell. You should get his Super Perfect Form. Cell's Spirit Bomb appears in the Capsule Shop after buying a few Ultimate Moves. Note: Spirit Bomb can only be used in the Perfect or Super Perfect Forms.
Dragon Rush attack with Frieza
This can only be done with Frieza's third form. The secret Dragon Rush is not a capsule. While in Frieza's third form, complete the full Dragon Rush. In the end, Frieza will do a different Dragon Rush move than his usual. He will do the move that he did to Piccolo in the television show.
Avoid fighting Goku in Majin Buu saga
When you are Majin Vegeta, go to an area that reads "Plains". One of them should have Piccolo. Talk to him, then fight him. When he is defeated, the next marker will have Majin Buu in that area instead of Goku. Additionally, when you are Majin Vegeta, go to Goku's house. There should be an area reading "Plains" next to it. There, you will talk to Gohan and fight him. Then, Majin Buu will be at your next marker.
Flexible ultimate attack with Goku
Spirit Bomb is a very flexible attack. It can be used in three ways. When normal Goku, Super Spirit Bomb; when SS1, Spirit Bomb; or when SS2, SS3 or SS4 as Super Dragon Fist.
Defeating Yamcha with Saibamen
To defeat Yamcha in Dragon Arena easily, use Self-Destruct. It should do 9,999 damage.
Effective techniques with Vegeta
Enter the World Tournament at any level (Advanced recommended). Equip Vegeta with SS1, SS2, SS4, Galick Gun x2, and Big Bang Attack x2. This should take all seven slots, or if you want equip his Breakthrough. Start the fight by attacking with only physical attacks (punches and kicks). Do not waste any energy until your power has reached maximum, and get as close as you can to your opponent. Press L1 to transform to SS4 and keep using Vegeta's Final Shine Attack (Galick Gun). This attack is recommended, as they are tired from Hyper Mode, and because they cannot block the incoming attack this should take out a lot of life. (one full bar, or slightly more). If they use Hyper Mode, avoid being hit by them until their power has run out. Then. go and beat them up with some Final Shine attacks, or the deadly Big Bang Attack. Use Vegeta's Big Bang Attack when they are tired from Hyper Mode. Hopefully they will have low yellow or high red health. Either way, they will be defeated. Note: Avoid the edge at all costs.
Alternate SS4 appearance in Vegeta
Once you acquire SS4 for Vegeta, win the game and start another Dragon Universe mode as Vegeta. Make sure you have SS4 equipped. When time comes to fight Androids 17 and 16, turn SS4. If done correctly, you should have a yellow tail and upper body instead of red; white gloves and boots instead of purple; and yellow jeans instead of blue.
Fight Metal Cooler
In Goku's story, before you go to the Cell Games ring, go to Cell's time machine. You will battle Metal Cooler.
Skills change
When buying skills, all skills change when you leave and return, except for the ultimate skills.
Faster tournament board
When the tournament board is displaying names, hold R1 and it will speed up. Note: This is useful for the long tournament boards in advanced mode. Additionally, for an even faster tournament board, hold L1 + R1 when the people are being selected to fight the other characters.
Slow motion
Go to duel and select one player vs. two players. Select both players as Goku with the following: Kaioken, SS1, SS2, SS3, Spirit Bomb, and Kamehameha. Then, select Buu's Insides for the stage. Have both players charge up to maximum Ki, turn SS3, and go into hyper mode. Then, have both players repeatedly punch at the same time. Eventually you should go into slow motion.
Practice Ki gauges
While playing in practice mode, press Select and all your Ki gauges will automatically fill up.
Kakarot
Kakarot is Goku's sayian name. His "grandpa" Gohan (whom Goku names his first son after) named him Goku when he found him in the woods. He was a wild animal until he fell and hit his head, which is why he could not remember who or what he was.
Interrupted fight in Dragon Arena
Win battles until you have five or six victories. On the sixth or seventh battle, someone might interrupt your fight. Defeat him or her to unlock capsules. If this does not happen, try with another character with a different level.
Metal Freeza
Play as Teen Gohan the second time through in Dragon Universe. Go to battle point, and instead of fighting a goblin you will fight a Metal Freeza. This works as many times as desired. Freeza does not have the same voice.
Pole through body
Unlock Kid Goku. Select him in any place besides Dragon Universe. When your opponent blocks, hold R1 or R2. He will extend his "Power Pole". It will then go through them if they are close enough. On short characters like Krillin, Goten, etc., it will go through the head. On medium sized characters such as Goku, Raditz, etc., it will go through their stomach or chest. On large characters like Broly, Nappa, etc., it will go through their groin.
Dragonball reference
When you fight in Grandpa Gohan's house, in the background you will see the giant fish that Goku grabbed from the lake, It even has the bite that Goku got to take before Bulma so rudely interrupted.
Wrong location
In Training Chapter 10, Cell claims that he and Frieza are in HFIL. They are actually in the devastated version of Planet Namek.
Wrong hair
Select Goku in his second outfit (blue), then have the SSJ4 Gogeta capsule equipped when you fuse with SSJ4 Vegeta. In his second outfit, Gogeta will have silver hair instead of red.
Wrong world
In the Namek arena in duel mode, use a devastating attack. It will show Earth instead of Namek.
Wrong comment
With Vegeta in Dragon Universe mode, instead of saying "I should have finished them off when I had the chance" he says, "they should have finished them off when they had the chance".
