Although each battle begins on the ground, the majority of the action is featured skyward. The story mode of the game is divided into episodes, and it encompasses all of Dragon Ball Z, featuring the most important battles of the series.
The first fighting game bearing the Dragon Ball license, Super Butouden covers some of the series's key battles (from Goku's battle with Piccolo to the Cell Games).
