About this game

Dragon Ball Z is an arcade fighting game designed and manufactured in Japan by Banpresto. Its cabinet is styled like a robot with markings resembling Goku’s gi, while the game uses large sprites and a color palette inspired by the watercolor style associated with the manga.

Combat emphasizes flight-related movement, and parts of the environment, including sections of walls and ground, can be destroyed. The playable roster includes Goku, Super Saiyan Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza, Captain Ginyu, Recoome, and Burter.
