This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:

  • Regional differences.
  • There was a revision prior to the Virtual Console release.
  • This game has a debug mode which triggered on older emulators.

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden 2 is the second of the Super Famicom "super battle" trilogy. This one improved on the first with better graphics, nicer sound, faster gameplay, and the ability to slowly... very slowly... charge one's ki energy at will.

It was later made available for the first time in North America as a pre-order bonus for Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden (English translation not included).

Extra Characters#

Only in the Japanese version, press Up + X + Down + B + L + Y + R + A when Gohan is flying during the intro to unlock Son Goku and Broly in non-story modes.

The European French version has already Son Goku and Broly unlocked from the get-go, making this code pointless.

Revisional Differences#

Virtual Console#

To do:
Rip/compare the SFC and re-release soundtracks.

A version was released for the 3DS Virtual Console as an Amazon-exclusive pre-order bonus for Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butouden.

While the gameplay seems unchanged, it received a completely new soundtrack due to a scandal with the original composer, Kenji Yamamoto, where it was discovered that most of his music was derived or plagiarized from existing commercial music.
