The Dragon Ball Z saga is brought to the Gameboy Advance in the form of an
action/RPG title. It is a pretty bland game to be blunt, although it, from my
understanding, takes after various sagas of the DBZ anime. It is quite true
to the original anime, although the game controls could have been less shoddy
than they are. The game could have more depth like an RPG, but it's obviously
a kid-oriented title, so I guess it's good for what it is. However, I would
recommend some DBZ fan to try this, regardless of the age group, but not
really for serious gamers. It simply isn't THAT great, that's all.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Our story begins with our humble hero, Goku. It has been a long time since he
last saw his childhood friends, and so he has decided to meet with them on
Master Roshi's Island, the house of his old Martial Arts master. Accompanying
Goku is his young six-year-old son, Gohan, named after his grandfather. Goku
is glad to see Bulma, Krillin, and even Master Roshi's long-time companion
Turtle.
Unknowingly, trouble looms over Goku and his friends even as they catch up on
old times. Traveling toward Earth at this very moment is a powerful Saiyan
warrior with some terrifying news for Goku.
The fate of Earth and the universe rests in Goku's hands...

Flying
------
Obviously, Goku has the power of flight in this game. Press R and he'll
levitate; press a direction on the Control Pad and he'll quickly fly in that
direction, as long as you're holding down the direction on the pad. Each
space you fly consumes a Flight Charge. After you run out of Flight Charges,
you cannot fly until you get a refill. They are scattered around the areas of
the game, so they aren't too hard to find. Flying has its advantages, too.
For instance, you can fly across pits, get away from an enemy quickly, and so
on. Just be sure not to waste this ability, though!
Ki Attacks
----------
Goku's special abilities are in the form of a magic known as Ki. Use this
power by pressing B, holding it to charge up the ability. At the start of the
game, you only have access to the Ki Blast, but as you progress, you can
learn a couple more techniques to add to your arsenal. See the Ki Abilities
section of this FAQ for more information on those abilities!

Master Roshi's Island
---------------------
After the opening FMV, the game opens on Master Roshi's Island with all your
friends standing around. Start by talking to Master Roshi himself. He'll tell
you about his magazine collection (your first quest begins here), but he
seems to have lost a few. Talk to Gohan and everyone else, then walk around
the island and pick up 2 magazines. Then, enter the Kame House and you'll
find a third magazine on the floor inside. Leave the house and talk to Master
Roshi again, and he'll give you 2 Senzu Beans and some Herbs for the
magazines as thanks.
Upon completing this quest, you will gain 350 experience points and go up to
Level 2! After that, Raditz will appear and kidnap Gohan, then vanish again.
Piccolo then shows up and offers to work with you as a team to stop Raditz.
He will decide to go alone, so he'll leave. You then call down Nimbus and a
small cloud appears nearby; walk onto it to leave the island.
Goku's Home
-----------
You'll arrive in the area outside of Goku's house. Go in the back of the
house and talk to Chi-Chi if you want. From where you arrived in this area,
head east to a pond area, where you will find actual enemies for the first
time. Attack the Crabs, Squirrels, and Snakes running around to get some
experience (you'll get to Level 3 from this little area alone). Head
southwest to a patch of 6 bushes. Destroy them with Ki blasts, then check out
the dark spot on the ground to get some Herbs. Next, head all the way north
of the pond and follow the path as far north as you can go. Climb up the
ladder you find (not the first one next to the pond, but one further north)
Use a couple Ki blasts to destroy the barriers in your way, then go east and
defeat the Blue Dog there, along with any Snakes you see. Follow the path
southeast to find a Senzu Bean on the ground.
Now, head back to where the house is, and follow the path southward from
there. Follow the path all the way to the end in the northwest area. Continue
north into the Forest.
Forest
------
Here, go north and up a couple steps to a ledge where an empty nest lays.
Talk to the wandering Pteradactyl to hear of its despair over its egg being
stolen, and you'll get to help it. Start by going back down the steps and
walking around the platform where the nest is to find a stone. Take it, then
go back around and head southwest to a path between the trees. Follow it
south and east to a stone; take it. Now, go all the way north to a set of
steps. Go up them and follow the path all the way west to a large set of
stairs to the north. Go up them and continue north and east. Go all the way
east along the obscured path and you'll come to an open area with Chiaotzu
and Tien standing around. Talk to Chiaotzu to get 500 experience points, then
talk to Tien. After telling your story to him too, you'll get another 500
experience points. Now, continue east and you'll see a barrier to the north.
Destroy it with Ki shots, then defeat the Blue Dog and follow the path to a
stone; take the stone.
Now, go back east and south, then continue east to a waterfall. Fly across
the rocks blocking your ground path, then land and go north up the cliff.
Fight and defeat the Pteradactyl by keeping your distance and shooting lots
of Ki blasts at it whenever possible. When you finally defeat it, go west and
grab the Pteradactyl Egg! Now, backtrack all the way back to the nest in the
beginning of the Forest area. Talk to the Pteradactyl and give back the Egg
to get 350 experience points!
At this point, head west and up the steps, then continue further west as far
as you can go. Go south and down the steps, and head west to a seemingly
abandoned tent. The old man that it belongs to is trapped on an island to the
north. You'll see 3 slots in a straight line in the water; place the 3 stones
you found in those indents to form a path. The old man will thank you and
give you 500 experience points and some Herbs. After that, head all the way
back east to where the nest was. Instead of going northwest and up the steps
again, follow the path directly west to a site with large bones laying there.
Defeat the Blue Dogs and Goku will note there is a powerful presence across
the river. Fly across and c
