Versions and Build Dates
All versions of the game include some build info near the end of the ROM. The Japanese and Korean versions, while separate ROMs, share the same version and date. Given that the versions seem to count inversely to the games' release order, it's possible they were each versioned separately.

Intro Sequence

|---|
Copyright screens were introduced in the European and US versions. Because Funimation owns the rights to Dragon Ball in the US, more copyright disclaimers had to be added. Additionally, because Bandai and Atari are the respective publishers of the European and the US version, screen sequences were added showing their logos.
Title Screen
| Japan | Europe | US |
|---|
The Japanese copyright information was translated to English and updated (although it is removed in the US version). The graphics for the 'Advanced Adventure' line were changed to show the dragon balls and Shenron's head and the blue color in 'Dragon' was brightened. The US version uses its own graphics for the entire game name and includes a ® symbol.
Additionally, the Japanese version plays an instrumental version of the anime's opening theme 'Makafushigi Adventure!', which has been replaced in the US and European versions.

Voice Acting
While the Japanese and the European version share the same voice acting for Goku, the US version uses voice acting from the show released in the US. This includes, but is not limited to Goku calling 'Kinto-un' vs. 'Flying Nimbus'.
Miscellaneous
| Japan | Europe | US |

The A-button icon is different in all of the three versions. (Also, Gokou instead of Goku.)
Dialogue
| Europe | USA |
|---|---|
| This dialogue takes place right before Goku fights Oolong in the air. Even though the speech bubbles point at the respective characters, their names were added to the US version's dialogue. | |
| Oolong's wish upon the Dragon Balls was cleaned up for the American market. This change continues to the item collection screen, where the Girl's Panties became the Comfy Underwear. | |
| The American localization manages to introduce two typos here: the lack of a space after the comma and the more egregious misspelling of 'increased'. | |
| Another Funimation-approved typo ('or forces'). | |

Game modes[edit]
Story mode[edit]
Goku goes on the adventure of his lifetime. Most of the Dragon Ball story arcs are represented; the only one noticeably missing is the 'Piccolo Junior' storyline from the end of the Dragon Ball series.
There are many items to collect in the game, most of which are hidden. Items include those that increase the player's health and/or ki, Dragon Balls, objects such as Master Roshi's sunglasses and Mercenary Tao's cyborg headgear. The player is only able to play as Goku at first. Clearing Goku's Story Mode once unlocks the ability to play Story Mode with Krillin. However, with Krillin, there aren't any cutscenes or story; just the levels. Story Mode cannot be played with any other character.
There are 3 main level designs:
- Platform levels- Goku/Krillin travels through an area and fights standard enemies.
- Nimbus levels- Goku/Krillin fights enemies in the air on the Nimbus Cloud.
- One-On-One levels- Where one character fights another character individually, like in the tournaments.
One-on-one mode[edit]
A one-on-one fight exists where one can engage in a battle between the player and an opponent, much like several of the boss battles in the game. This is a free battle mode where you can decide which area you and your opponent will fight at and how long the fight will be. Your initial choices are Goku and Krillin, but whenever you defeat a one-on-one character in Story Mode, you gain a personal effect of theirs which unlocks their character in One-on-One mode. You can play as Jackie Chun, Mercenary Tao, Grandpa Gohan, Tien Shinhan, King Piccolo and Cyborg Tao once you unlock them.
Apart from single battles, a Survival Mode can also be unlocked by completing both Goku and Krillin's Story Mode. In a Survival mode game you are placed in a tournament, and can select any of the characters that have been unlocked.
Versus mode[edit]
The multiplayer mode of the game, where 2 players can compete against each other with most of the options available in One-on-One Mode.

Extra mode[edit]
After the player has completed Goku's Story Mode it unlocks Extra Mode. In Extra Mode, the player revisits all the levels in Story Mode (without the cutscenes) and replays them. The player has all of the levels available at the start rather than having to go through them in order. There are two primary objectives to complete:
- Number One: All of the red doors seen throughout the levels can now be opened, and a greater amount of items are placed in the stages. Minigames can be unlocked by finding all 54 items.
- Number Two: The Extra Mode Character List shows 28 characters that the player can unlock for use in Extra Mode, aside from Goku and Krillin. Each of them has a corresponding portrait hidden in one of the levels that must be found to unlock the character for use. Both the third and fourth mini game must be accessed before every single character can be unlocked. After that, it is highly recommended to play through Extra Mode as each character and learn all of their moves. Such characters include Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, General Blue, and other miscellaneous enemies.
