==Series==
===Battle Card===
The battle card games are a hybrid of role playing games, board games, and trading cards. The players move around a game board, and encounter characters on the way. Some characters offer information and others need to be battled. The outcome of each fight is determined by the randomly generated hand of cards players and the opponent are dealt. The player flips over cards in a certain order, and their actions are shown in an animated battle that lasts until one of the characters is defeated.


==Console games==

Master Roshi, similarly has been changed to look more like a traditional martial arts master. Bulma is called "Nora", [[Yamcha]] is called "Lancer", [[Oolong (Dragon Ball)|Oolong]] is called "Pudgy", the Kamehameha is the "Wind Wave", and the Dragon Balls are referred to as "Crystalballs". The European version, simply titled ''Dragon Ball'', retains the license.

Multiplayer is a six player tournament using difficulty level of computer players that are in the save file. Players can choose between Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks and Vegeta. Winner records are kept in the game data, as well as any moves the player might learn.

The game follows, Dr. Raichi, a survivor of the Tuffle race annihilated by the [[Saiyan]]s. Raichi manages to escape from the planet with a ship containing Hatchhyack, a super computer able to create "Ghost images" of other warriors, though he is killed soon after. Hatchhyack creates a ghost image of him to get revenge on the surviving Saiyans. He places machines that emit a gas capable of destroying life on Earth, so Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Piccolo rush to destroy the devices located around the planet. They manage to destroy all but one that is protected by an impenetrable energy barrier and guarded by ghost warriors of Frieza, Cooler, Turles, and Lord Slug, which have to be killed in the same way as the originals. They eventually track down Raichi, defeat him, and learn of Hatchhyack, who absorbs Raichi's hatred and materializes in an android body. Hatchhyack devastates the heroes until the Saiyans, after having transformed into their [[Super Saiyan#Super Saiyan|Super Saiyan]] states, combine their powers together into one massive wave of energy, ending the threat of the ghost warriors.

For unknown reasons, these three characters were renamed Kujila, Aki, and Tara in the French version, respectively.

Depending on if the player wins or loses a battle, the story will take a different turn in the Story Mode, which leads to a lot of possibilities to experience.

This is the only Dragon Ball Z fighting game in which Goku is not readily playable. A code is required to unlock him and Broly, the other hidden character.

Greatest Hits versions were released on June 20, 1997 for the Saturn and June 27, 1997 for the PlayStation.

The game utilizes a unique system of play that is different from most other fighters. The graphics feature 2-D sprites in a three dimensional world. Although each battle begins on the ground, the majority of the action is featured skyward. The characters fly around each and utilize rapid punches and kicks, and [[Qi|ki]] blasts, either singularly or rapidly by holding the assigned button for a short period. The characters have a limited amount of ki that can be charged over time. If the player uses all of their available ki their character will stop fighting out of exhaustion, leaving them wide open for an attack. The life meter is a scale made up of energy from both sides that shifts depending on damage taken, and after one side is depleted, the character performs a special "Meteo Attack", which takes place in a cut scene and finishes of the opponent. Each match is made up of two teams that can include one fighter or multiple fighters that can be switched out at various times.

The {{Nihongo|'''''Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden'''''|ドラゴンボールZ 超武闘伝|Doragon Bōru Zetto Chō Butōden|Dragon Ball Z: Super Fighting Story}} series is a [[fighting game]] series. Each installment was both developed and published by [[Bandai]]. There are three installments for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] and one for the [[Sega Saturn]].

Each installment as similar game modes: Story mode, Classic Fight, Tournament, and Practice. Story mode loosely follows the story of the source material, each installment's story mode covering parts of the story. Classic Fight, as the name suggests, is a collection of free battle fighting options. Here, the player has the choice of fighting an [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]-controlled opponent, another player, or watching two AI-controlled fight one another. In Tournament, the player can fight to earn the title of the ultimate fighter. Up to eight fighters can enter a tournament, though cannot fight simultaneously. Practice mode, present only in ''Super Butōden 3'' and ''Shin Butōden'', allows players to freely select their fighter and opponent to pracice their fighting techniques. Health does not deplete, so the player can practice for as long as they desire.

''Shin Butōden'' also features two other exclusive modes: Group Battle and [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Mr. Satan|Mr. Satan]] mode. In Group Battle, players gets to create a team of five characters and fight against either another player or an AI-controlled character. In Mr. Satan mode, Mr. Satan is trying to raise enough money to pay off his debt to [[No. 18 (Dragon Ball)|Artificial Human 18]], and the player places bets on matches and cheats by using several items, such as banana peels, guns, and dynamite.

====Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden====
{{Nihongo|'''''Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden'''''|ドラゴンボールZ 超武闘伝|Doragon Bōru Zetto Chō Butōden|Dragon Ball Z: Super Fighting Story}} is the first installment in the ''Super Butōden'' series. The game was released in Japan on March 20, 1993 and in France and Spain on November 30, 1993. ''Super Butōden'' features 10 playable characters and its story mode spans from the [[Piccolo Junior Saga|final saga]] of ''[[Dragon Ball (franchise)|Dragon Ball]]'' to the conclusion of the [[Cell Games Saga|Cell Games]].

====Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2====
{{Nihongo|'''''Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2'''''|ドラゴンボールZ 超武闘伝2|Doragon Bōru Zetto Chō Butōden Tzū|Dragon Ball Z: Super Fighting Story 2}}, called '''''Dragon Ball Z 2: la Légende Saien''''' in France, is the second installment in the ''Super Butōden'' series. The game was released in Japan on December 17, 1993 and in France and Spain in 1994. ''Super Butōden 2'' features 10 playable characters (8 normal, 2 unlockable with a code) and its story mode covers the [[Cell Games Saga|Cell Games]], as well as several stories involving [[List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball#Bojack|Bojack]], [[List of extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball#Bojack's henchmen|Zangya]], and [[List of Saiyans in Dragon Ball#Broli|Broli]] completely unrelated to the movies they hail from. For unknown reasons, these three characters were renamed Kujila, Aki, and Tara in the French version, respectively.

The story mode became very popular at the time because of its many different variations. Depending on if the player wins or loses a battle, the story will take a different turn, which leads to a lot of possibilities to experience. The official French translation was clumsy and most of the time hardly comprehensible for anyone unfamiliar with the ''Dragon Ball'' story. A significant number of sentences were grammatically incorrect, sometimes to the point of complete incoherence.

This is the only Dragon Ball Z fighting game in which Goku is not readily playable. A code is required to unlock him and Broly, the other hidden character.

====Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 3====
{{Nihongo|'''''Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden'''''|ドラゴンボールZ 超武闘伝3|Doragon Bōru Zetto Chō Butōden Surī|Dragon Ball Z: Super Fighting Story 3}}, called '''''Dragon Ball Z 3: Ultime Menace''''' in France, is the third installment in the ''Super Butōden'' series. The game was released in Japan on September 29, 1994 and in France and Spain in 1994. ''Super Butōden 3'' features ten playable characters. Strangely enough, it is the only game in the series that lacks a story mode.

The game has 10 characters, 9 normal and 1 hidden. The hidden character, Future Trunks, can be unlocked with a code.

====Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butōden====
{{Nihongo|'''''Dragon Ball Z: Shin Super Butōden'''''|ドラゴンボールZ 真武闘伝|Doragon Bōru Zetto Shin Butōden|Dragon Ball Z: True Fighting Story}} is the fourth installment in the ''Super Butōden'' series. The game was released only in Japan on November 17, 1995. The game features 26 playable characters, their sprites being those used in an earlier ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' game, ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22]]''. Its story mode ranges from the [[Android Saga]] to the [[Cell Games Saga|Cell Games]].

Greatest Hits versions were released on June 20, 1997 for the Saturn and June 27, 1997 for the PlayStation.

The game utilizes a unique system of play that is different from most other fighters. The graphics feature 2-D sprites in a three dimensional world. Although each battle begins on the ground, the majority of the action is featured skyward. The characters fly around each and utilize rapid punches and kicks, and [[Qi|ki]] blasts, either singularly or rapidly by holding the assigned button for a short period. The characters have a limited amount of ki that can be charged over time. If the player uses all of their available ki their character will stop fighting out of exhaustion, leaving them wide open for an attack. The life meter is a scale made up of energy from both sides that shifts depending on damage taken, and after one side is depleted, the character performs a special "Meteo Attack", which takes place in a cut scene and finishes of the opponent. Each match is made up of two teams that can include one fighter or multiple fighters that can be switched out at various times.
