Easier Fusion (Gotenks), Spirit Ball Attack (Yamcha), and Burning Slash (Trunks)

Android 16

Easy capsules
Note: You must go to "Edit Capsules" and edit any one of your characters before going to the main menu, or you will have to start where you last saved.
Use the following trick to get easy double capsules. Go to the skill store and look for the capsule that you want two of. Buy it (even if it does not say "New"). Then, if you did not have it before you must leave and buy it again. Put it on your character twice. Note: This only works for red and blue capsules. It does not work for green or black capsules.
Go to the Skill Shop (Bulma's Shop). If you cannot find your capsule there, go back and go to the shop again. Keep doing this until you find what you need.
Android 18
In Dragon World, defeat Android 18 as Krillin.

Android 20
In Dragon World, defeat Android 20 as Goku.
Golden Capsule on level 1
On the first level, where you have to get to the Dragonball before Raditz and Nappa, defeat all the Saibamen that pop up until a red one appears. Fight that one and win. You should get a new capsule for Hercule. Equip the capsule, and whenever Hercule's health drops below one sixth he will now receive a boost of energy. This may require a few attempts
Cell
In Dragon World, defeat Cell as Goku.
Easy money
On the last level where you fight Kid Buu, when you start dig (press [B]) until a question mark appears over your head. Note: You can use any character.
Dig around in the final stage of Dragonworld. Have Sparking!-!!! as your custom character. You will gain twice as much as usual from just having one of them.
In Babidi's Spaceship. go to stage 1 and select Dr. Gero. Put on the Life Drain skill and Perpetual Energy. Also, set Life Drain twice then put on a guard or attack power-up. Keep using Life Drain. If you charge it all the way, you should kill your opponent instantly. You will not lose any health. Go against someone large and slow, such as Nappa or Android 16, so that you can hit them easier. You can easily kill them 50 to 100 times, getting between 1000 to 2000 Killi.
In Babidi's Spaceship, do the following trick on stage 2 where you must hold out as long as possible. Choose Frieza with Frieza's Spaceship, Medical Machine, and any other defense boosters you have (the best armor style you can fit). Choose Hercule for an opponent, in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber level. Simply dodge back repeatedly. Because Hercule has no ranged attacks, he must chase you. Even when he catches you and lands a hit, you can usually escape after only one hit, and he will not do much damage. You can keep this up for a very long time, and when he finally does wear you down the spaceship will fully revive you and make you stronger. It is possible to go over 3,000 seconds by doing this, which gives a huge amount of Killi.

Defeat Fat Buu for the first time to unlock Gotenks.
To get Gotenks when absorbing you must be fighting Majin Buu. It never fails.

Note: This trick requires two players and Babidi's Spaceship. First, go to Babidi's Spaceship. When asked how many players are playing, select "2P". One of the mini-games involves locking your Ki and Health together. Select that game. You can now recharge your health during a fight. Note: Since this trick locks your Ki and Health together, you can now lose health by using any Ki-draining special attack.
Hercule
In Dragon World, defeat Fat Buu as Saiyaman.
Wishes
When you get all seven Dragonballs you get one wish. Do not buy Bulma's costumes. Instead, you should buy Breakthrough, Fusion, and Potera capsules. Breakthrough capsules take all seven slots but give every move for that person. Others allow secret fusions between people.
Use the following trick to get all the wishes. At the very end when you must defeat Kid Buu you will get one wish after the credits by obtaining all seven Dragon Balls. Before you defea Kid Buu, save the game and exit. Then, copy the saved game file for the game onto another memory card. Start the game again and defeat Kid Buu (again) and get another wish. When done, copy or transfer the capsule that you obtained.
Kibitoshin

Babidi's Spaceship: Easy wins
To win and get some skills from Babidi's spaceship, try the following:
Put a Senzu Bean on a custom character. Include the best armor they have. Then, go to Babidi's Spaceship on level 2. Select the custom character, then guard and dodge the attacks. When you die, the Senzu Bean will be used and you will have full health. Then, guard and dodge. You will easily win Kili by doing this, and collect the Majin Buu capsules, Dabura, Skills, etc.
Put a Senzu Bean on a custom character. Also use Gero's Perpetual Energy and a favorite death move. Go to level 1 on Babidi's Spaceship and keep doing the death move. Be careful not to lose any health. When you die, the Senzu Bean will be used and you will be resurrected. Then, continue to fight and do the death move repeatedly. If they start to dodge, then try fighting them.
Use Yamcha on level 3. Make sure he has Wolf Fang Fist. Keep doing Wolf Fang Fist and they will easily get hit by you if you activate the move and keep pressing [E]. This should get you a lot of Kili.
Use this in the stage where you fight enemies until you die. Attach Dr. Gero's Perpetual Energy Capsule to any character with a strong energy attack, such as Trunks or Kid Buu. You can keep pressing the button for the attack repeatedly without losing any Ki. However, you cannot transform during the battle. This also works well with a Senzu Bean.
Go to level 2 and pick a character, then edit skills. If you have it, get Mysterious Vest. If not, use another guard power-up. Next, pick Senzu Bean. If you put on Mysterious Vest you should not have any more room. Then, start the fight. When you lose your first bar, your character will use Senzu Bean and recharge to full health in the green. Note: Do not use your capsule space for attacks, this is endurance.
Note: This trick requires a controller with an auto-fire feature. Go to the game where you have to deflect the Ki blast back and forth. Before the round starts, take one jump back, set [A] to auto-fire, then shoot and hold [A]. This should give you 193 hits in the round and result in about 600 Kili.
Use Vegeta with Final Explosion and keep doing it as long as possible. Note: You must be very good at doing Final Explosion; if you do not get it to a full bar the level is over.
Nappa
In Dragon World, defeat Nappa as Vegeta. This can only be done when you unlock Vegeta and start Dragon mode again.
To get an easy win and quick death in the first section, equip Goku with the Warp Kamehameha. Then, go to the first choice in Babidi's Spaceship. When the battle starts, do this combo: backwards punch, backwards punch, then Warp Kamehameha. If you hit your opponent with all attacks, he will have been defeated and you will start the next round.
Babidi's Spaceship: Easy Kili
Go to Babidi's Spaceship and select one player and stage 2. Choose Vegeta and go to "Edit Skills". Take out whatever skills he currently has and replace them with Bulma's Armor and a Senzu Bean. Then, select custom Vegeta. Next, select Hercule to be your opponent. Go anywhere you want, but somewhere simple with nothing in the way like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber is recommended. Then, block the entire time. You can easily last 500 seconds, and get over 1000 Kili. Repeat this until your meter is full.
Potara
To get the Potara Capsule for Vegeta, you must wish for it from the Eternal Dragon Shenron at the end or Dragon World.
Babidi's Spaceship: Restore health
On Babidi's Spaceship, change into Captain Ginyu and your opponent's character. Go to number 1, and when your health gets into the red, switch bodies. Then, kill your regular body. After that, switch back and your health will be back in the green.

Use a memory card with a saved game file from Dragon Ball Z: Budokai. Alternately, in Dragon World, defeat Cell for the last time on Supreme Kai's planet with Adult Gohan.
Easy wins
Get a Viral Heart Disease Skill and put it on for support. Then, get a Vaccine to not make your Power decrease, but your opponent's will. Just block until their health is in the orange. You should now be able to defeat them.
When you initiate Burst mode in battle, instead of just randomly pressing buttons (as the game suggests), use the palm of your hand to rotate the Analog-stick and [C-stick] either clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on which is more comfortable for you. Note: For optimal performance, use your dominant hand (if you are right-handed, use your right hand; and if left-handed, use your left).
Go to edit skills and choose any character. Then put Viral Heart Disease, Vaccine, and Senzu Bean. You will have one space remaining to put anything desired. If you die even if using Viral Heart Disease and Vaccine, you always have the Senzu Bean.
When your opponent uses his special that does not need to be in contact with you (such as Destructo Disc), if you are far enough away you can press [Down] + [A] to dodge the attack, and then press [Over] + [X] to shoot your special, which almost always hits them.
When fighting a short opponent, kick them into the air. You will be able hit and kick them as if you were fighting Cell or someone similar.
To defeat any villain easier (especially Fat Buu, Super Buu, and Kid Buu), choose any character and go to the skill sheet. Add some good Ki attacks then choose the Vital Heart Disease. The opponent's health will slowly decrease. The best partners against Kid Buu are Gohan and Trunks. Use Gohan until Kid Buu does not let up. On the last health block, use Trunks. Also, the character that defeats Kid Buu will receive the best attack one would need with that person.
Tiencha
Get both Tien and Yamcha's Breakthrough Capsules. A capsule will be given you that explains it.

Use this time to power-up to about four Ki levels and become Super Saiyan 2, and use the Warp Kamehameha attack. Then, power-up again and use that attack once more.

There are two more +20 armors on the lower area (the area where you start). Pick those up and he will be at 210 defense. Then, equip Goten with Mysterious Vest and he will not be able to be hurt, and you will get all "Perfects", unless you fight on a location that drains your health.
Control opening screen
Rotate the [C-stick] to spin Master Roshi. Press the Analog-stick to change his position on the screen.
When the loading screen appears and you see Master Roshi on a hover disc, quickly rotate the [C-stick] to control the speed and the Analog-stick to control the movement. Roshi can only move sideways.
When you see Master Roshi spinning in the opening/loading screen, you can press [L] or [R] instead to spin him You can still control him with the Analog-stick. Note: This does not work when you perform a special move such as Continuous Kamehameha.
When Master Roshi appears, spin the [C-stick] very fast. If done fast enough, Master Roshi will start flying around the screen.
Goten: Easy wins
Unlock Mysterious Vest and Super Holy Water. Equip them and something else to Goten. Every time in Dragon World, get Goten as an ally. Have Goten and Goku stand next to each other. Then, try to get an armor thing or two. If you get two worth +20%, you will be almost invincible.

They will have different costumes. For example, Piccolo will look like Nail and Gohan will fight in his father's costume.

Babidi's Mind Control
Super Kami Water
Desperate Resolution
Use the following capsules. With Angel's Halo on, you will not lose any Ki when you are transformed, so Bulma's Wish is constantly raising your Ki. You can use techniques other than Galick Gun, but it is easy to execute and is fairly strong when used at full power.
SS1
SS2
Galick Gun x2
Angel's Halo
Bulma's Wish
The best moves for Vegeta are as follows. Even though you only have one real move, you may not need it; and if you do, Meditation gives you twice as many.
Angels Halo
SS1
SS2
Galic Gun
Bulma's Wish
Meditation
Vegita: One Hit K.O.
Use Vegeta and equip Babidi's Mind Control. When you get down to your last health bar, let the CPU hit you. Make sure you hit the ground. After you hit the ground, you will see a short FMV sequence and Babidi will appear and turn you into Majin Vegeta. You now have access to two of the best moves in the game; Atomic Blast which takes up nearly an entire health bar, and Final Explosion which is the most powerful attack. If you manage to pull off Final Explosion, you will get a one hit K.O., even if the CPU is at full health. However, the charge-up meter for Final Explosion grows incredibly slow; and unless you fill the meter up completely, the only thing you will do is destroy Vegeta. To fill up the meter faster, do not rotate the Analog-stick or [C-stick]. Instead, repeatedly press [A]. This is the only way to fill the meter without destroying yourself.
Vegeta (Majin form): Recommended moves
Babidi's Mind Control
Angel's Halo
Galick Gun
Final Flash
Nose Dive Crash/Meteor Break
Vegeta (Majin form): Use S Final Explosion without dying

You can practice trying to perfect Majin Vegeta's final explosion without dying.
Videl: Recommended moves
Eagle Kick
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine
Falcon Rush x2 (or one Falcon Rush and Meditation)
Videl's Close Call
Yamcha: Easy unlocks
Play Stage 3 of Babidi's Spaceship with Yamcha only using Wolf Fang Fist to unlock Dabura, Majin, Super and Kid Buu along with some of their moves much faster than if someone else was used.
Yamcha-Tien switch
In practice or duel mode, give either Yamcha or Tien their Tiencha fusion ability. Play with that custom character and press [Punch], [Kick] and [Guard] during a match. Yamcha and Tien will switch.
Invincible characters
On a level where three characters are playable (Goku, Gohan, and Goten), take one of the three and walk onto the same space as another one. They will power up. With the same character, walk onto the same space as the other one. They will power up again. Next, search for defensive power-ups and equip Sturdy Vest. By now, these characters' defense should be at 200 (at least). A normal attack will do half of 1 point damage.
Defeating Buu
To defeat Buu easily in story mode, use Custom Goku with the following capsules:
20x King Kai Fist
Super Saiyan
Super Saiyan 2
Kamehameha
Vaccine
Viral Heart Disease
Use your allies to run own Buu's health. Recommended allies are Piccolo and Vegeta (Galick Gun, S.S. 1 and 2, Meteor Break, Meteor Flash).
Defeating Kid Buu
Play as Goten or Kid Trunks. Have them be Super Saiyan and have two capsules of Kamehameha or Buster Cannon. Also get a quick fire type move such as Continuous Kamehameha (if Trunks has one). This works well because if you are tall (like Goku), you will kick over Buu's head.
When fighting Kid Buu for the final time, first destroy everything outside of his little place. Then, move your character and your allies all in the place and gang up on him.
Select Goten and Gohan as your partners. Have Gohan go to Goten. This will give Goten 20 defensive points. Then, make Goku go to Goten. This will give Goten 30 defensive power-ups (160 defensive points). Then, go to the carpet that Mr.Popo has close to where you start. Go to Kid Buu and fight him with Goten. Make sure you have Super Saiyan and block frequently.
Charge special faster
Hold [A] when charging up for a special to charge faster. This the only way to get Majin Vegeta's Final Explosion move without getting destroyed.
Powered down
Turn Super Saiyan or Super Namek. While in this form, change to any character. Notice the character you changed from will be powered down to normal.
Maximum Ki
When you fighting someone, charge your Ki for one second. Then, press [Select] and you will have maximum Ki. You can do this as long as desired.
The best way to get maximum Ki for Goku and Vegeta is to win their Angel Halos. When you transform into any form of Super Saiyan or Majin Vegeta, your Ki will not decrease. The only way for your Ki to go down is if you use an attack such as Spirit Bomb, Big Bang Attack, or Final Destruction.
If you press [Select] in practice mode, your Ki meter will go to the maximum. This will not work in Dragon World, Dueling, World Tournament, or Babidi's Spaceship.
Lower opponent's Ki faster
Set the taunt ([P] + [K] + [G] + [E]) to either of the shoulder buttons. Then, perform the taunt during the battle. Your opponent's Ki will drop one level. This is very useful when preventing your opponent from performing high damage moves or going Super Saiyan.
Continuous and fast Kamehameha meter
Turn you controller vertically and place your hand over the Analog-stick and [C-stick]. Rotate them both with your hand.
Double attacks
Equip two of the same type of beam attacks (such as Galick Gun, Kamehameha, Buster Cannon, etc.) to your fighter. They will be twice as big and powerful as before.

Hidden FMV sequence
On planet Namek, face Captain Ginyu with Vegeta. Do not fight him while he has the dizzy symbol over his head or you will take two lives and likely kill him. Instead, beat him once and make him challenge you. If done correctly, you will see an FMV sequence where Ginyu asks Vegeta to join the Ginyu Force. Vegeta will reply that he would never do that stupid pose. Also, after you take away one life and fight him again, Vegeta will tell Ginyu that the Ginyu Force has been changed to the Vegeta Special Forces and Captain Ginyu is welcome to join.
Whereabouts of the other Ginyu Force members
Fight Captain Ginyu on Namek with Vegeta and he will tell you that the other Ginyu Force members are on their way to another planet, and that he and Recoome are all that will be needed to take you down. .
Play ping pong
In practice mode, choose any two characters and set the Defense Ki Blast Wave to deflect-back. Jump as far away as possible and fire a Ki attack. Your opponent will deflect it back, and you can do the same. If done correctly you will play "ping pong".

Glitch: "Friezan" Cell
In the chapter where you first meet Cell, if he warps to the location were your upper ally was at, he will not be able to move or warp anywhere (as long as Goku is on the spot where he started). This will allow your other two characters run around and dig at all the other spots, pick everything up, and defeat al the Cell Jrs.
Glitch: Goku voice change
Note: You must have Goku equipped with the Potara skill for this trick. Start a duel and choose Goku. Perform the Potara attack. If your opponent chooses the same button as you, Goku will not fuse, but his attack voice will be different. For example, instead of saying "Kamehameha", he will grunt as he would if fused with Vegeta.
Glitch: Super Saiyan Vegeta
Play as Vegeta. At the start of a battle turn into a Super Saiyan. The game states that you are a Super Saiyan 2 and have the effects of a Super Saiyan 2, but you actually skipped the first form.
Glitch: Ki requirement
Vegeta's Galikgun states that it takes one measure of Ki, when it actually takes one and a half.
