Cheat Codes/Hints
Hint: 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.
Hint: Play ping pong
In practice mode, choose any two characters and set the Defense Ki Blast Wave to deflect-back. Jump as far away as possible and fire a Ki attack. Your opponent will deflect it back, and you can do the same. If done correctly you will play "ping pong".
Hint: Power Rangers reference
When fighting Dr. Gero's colored Saibamen, he calls them Saiba Rangers. The colors are Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, and Pink and are a reference to the Power Rangers.
Hint: Powered down
Turn Super Saiyan or Super Namek. While in this form, change to any character. Notice the character you changed from will be powered down to normal.
Hint: Red Ribbon Base: Activate Red Ribbon Robot
Go to the Red Ribbon Base and knock your opponent into one of the generators. A robot will fly out from the ceiling and launch missiles. This will cause 400 points of damage to your opponent. Knock your opponent through the large bay doors to fight outside.
Hint: Restore health during fight
Note: This trick requires two players and Babidi's Spaceship. First, go to Babidi's Spaceship. When asked how many players are playing, select "2P". One of the mini-games involves locking your Ki and Health together. Select that game. You can now recharge your health during a fight. Note: Since this trick locks your Ki and Health together, you can now lose health by using any Ki-draining special attack.
Hint: Senzu Bean
Search at the location where Kid Buu starts in Dragon World. You will get a rare capsule. Search again on the same location and you will get Senzu Bean. Note: There is no 1/2 Senzu Bean.
Hint: Silver Card
Buy all red capsules that you can get at the beginning. Alternately, have a saved game from the original Dragon Ball Z: Budokai on your memory card.
Hint: Super Saiyan 3 Goku
Defeat Fat Buu the first time you see him, in the level where he gets resurrected and kills Babidi, with Goku. Super Saiyan 3 requires five Ki gauges to use. Once you transform your Ki will begin dropping very quickly. However, Super Saiyan 3 also super-charges your attacks. This means that Warp Kamehameha and Super Spirit Bomb (and your other attacks such as Kamehameha and Zanku Fist) will now be even more powerful than they already were.
Hint: 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.
