Introduction:
This FAQ is to help you get through Dragonworld if you only want to unlock the
characters. Dragonworld is the new story mode loved by a few, hated by many.
But somehow I came to realize this is pretty fun to do but I also realized
there are a lot of capsules to get and that Dragonworld is very long. But you
and I will get to finishing this game comepletly soon enough. In the meanwhile
just follow my FAQ and you'll have the characters in no time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Dragonworld Stage 1
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Yamcha
Nappa
-------------------------------
Yamcha:
(Beat Nappa with Tien)

Let's get Yamcha first because you cannot get Nappa until you unlock Vegeta in
stage 3. First make sure you have this custom for Tien. Buy them from Bulma if
you do not have them:

Tien:
Ki Blast Cannon(2)
Dodompa(2)
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

Now just make sure you know how to fight with him and are comfortable with him
in Practice mode. You don't have to go there if you were good with him in the
first place, then don't bother. I'm just suggesting you go their if you don't
know how to play with Tien. Now to get Yamcha you must kill Nappa during
Dragonworld with Tien. You can use Goku on him the first time because Nappa
is only dead until his life meter is depleted. Now Nappa only has 4 points so
if you win the fist time fight him immediately he'll have 1 point because if
the opponent is dazed, if you beat them while they are dazed then 2 points are
dropped. You should be able to defeat him after thatsince Tien is pretty much
better then Nappa in this game if you know what you are doing.

-------------------------------
Nappa:
(Beat Nappa with Vegeta)

This isn't hard either especially since Vegeta is one of the best characters.
Now use this custom for Vegeta:

Vegeta:
Super Saiyan 1
Galick Gun
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

This match doesn't require much especially because you have the Heart disease
for custom. If you do not have these capsules just play World Tournament and
buy them from Bulma. You can basically get all the SSJ forms except SSJ2 for
Goku and Vegeta and Gohan(Adult) in the Skill Shop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Dragonworld stage 2
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Recoome
-------------------------------
Recoome
(Beat Recoome with Goku)

This one is simple, just get kamehameha and Super Saiyan for Goku and show
Recoome who's boss. But watch what step you're on. The step south of Goku
when he arrives cuts your health in half. Fighting there can make things quick
but that may not be in a good way. Just brace yourself on that step and you'll
do fine. Fighting Ginyu is optional, just grab the Dragonradar find the
Dragonball and go and fight Frieza.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Dragonworld stage 3
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Vegeta
Ginyu
Future Trunks
Frieza
-------------------------------
Vegeta
(Beat Vegeta with Goku)

Just use this custom for Goku, Vegeta should have 3 health points so beat him
once then finish him off while he's on a daze:

Goku
King Kai x20
Super Saiyan
Kamehameha(2)

Oh yeah let me explain "daze" for you. When you defeat a character once, and
your opponent is dizzy, if you win the immediate battle you have with him,
their health meter will go down by two instead of one. Same goes for you so
watch out on all times.

-------------------------------
Ginyu
(Beat Ginyu with Vegeta)
As soon as you get Vegeta, exit Dragonworld. You should save your place in
the game. Now play a couple times and get these capsules for Vegeta then
go back and defeat Ginyu:

Vegeta
Super Saiyan
Galick Gun(2)
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

Once you defeat Ginyu and unlock him, restart Dragonworld and use Vegeta
to defeat Nappa using the previous Walkthrough and get back to stage 3.

-------------------------------
Future Trunks
(Beat Vegeta with Kid Trunks)

Kid Trunks is pretty good in this game. But just make sure you know how to
use him. Go to Bulma and buy this custom and train with Trunks a little bit
until you get the hang of him:

Kid Trunks
Super Saiyan
Double Buster(2)
Buster Cannon
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

Kid Trunks should be able to take Vegeta but still watch out for him, Vegeta
may get you one way or another.
-------------------------------
Frieza
(Beat Frieza with Goku)

This match should be a little hard but still stay concentrated. Use this
custom for Goku:

Goku
King Kai x20
Super Saiyan
Kamehameha (2)
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

Before you fight Frieza, kill Recoome so you won't have to worry about
him and get to Frieza. Frieza should be unlocked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. Dragonworld stage 4
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Android 16
Android 17
Android 18
Android 20
Cell
Great Saiyaman
-------------------------------

I'm just going to make one big Walkthrough for this stage because there is a
pattern to this. All you need is Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo.

Make sure you have this custom for these three. If you have or don't have
them, either go on ahead or buy them from Bulma:

Goku
King Kai x20
Super Saiyan
Kamehameha(2)
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

Krillin
Unlock Potential
Kamehameha(2)
Distructo Disk
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

Piccolo
Sync with Nail
Destructive Wave(2)
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine
-------------------------------
First press "A" on Goku but instead of moving him, click "X" to search the
ground. You should pull up a Peach. That gives Goku 2 movements on the
board instead of 1 if you haven't known by now.

First clear the board of all Saibamen but DO NOT walk into Gero yet. Have Goku
and Piccolo on the same space west from Gero. Have Krillin Northwest over
Goku and Krillin so the north space above Goku and Piccolo is vacant. Make
sure Piccolo and Krillin have 1 movement and Goku has 2. You can save now
by exiting Dragonworld. Now go back and kill Gero will Goku. Android 20 will
be unlocked. If you followed this correctly Android 18 will be on the vacant
spot north of Piccolo and east of Krillin. Android 17 should be on the south
of Goku and Android 16 should be north of Goku.

If you have this right then save so you will not have to fight Android 20/Gero
again. Now Goku, Piccolo, and Krillin should have 1 movement making it your
turn(from this point I'll address the androids as #16, 17, 18 and I'll tell
you to save instead of exiting Dragonworld). Take Goku and beat #17. Now
#17 should move in the spot that you were just in ***Save Now***. Take
Piccolo and kill #17 ***Save Now***. #17 should be unlocked. Take Krillin
and beat #18. #16 should approach Piccolo so defeat him but be careful.
After that battle #18 should approach Krillin. Defeat her again.

If you followed this correctly Krillin should be on the spot where #18 was when
she appeared and #18 should be to the west of him dazed out. #16 should be
dazed out north of Piccolo and Goku should be south of Piccolo with 2
movement spaces ***Save Now***. Right now you should know what to do
but I'll continue the rest just incase you don't.

I forgot to mention do not kill #16 until you kill the other Androids because
as soon as you beat #16, Cell will reveal himself and automatically kill #17
and 18. But now use Krillin to finish off #18. Android 18 will be unlocked
***Save Now***. Now take Goku and move 2 steps to #16 and finish him off.

Cell and a bunch of Cell Jr. should appear. When you get the chance
***Save Now***. Right now Cell should be east of Dende, a Cell Jr. should be
west of Krillin and another Cell Jr. should be 2 spaces under that one. A
Cell Jr. should be west of Cell and another one should be south of that one.
Move Piccolo west. First the Cell Jr. South of Cell should move west, south
of Goku. The Cell Jr. east of Cell should move west as well, next to
Mr. Po Po. The Cell Jr. south of Piccolo should approach him. Kill that
Cell Jr. and the one above Piccolo will choose which character to walk to.
For me he approached Piccolo, I don't know what he'll do for you though
but either way kill that Cell Jr. and ***Save Now***.

If done correctly their should be two Cell Jr. left and 1 of them took the
Dragonballradar. It doesn't matter because you have plenty of time to worry
about them. But now move Goku 2 spaces south and kill the Cell Jr. standing
there. If you want you can use Krillin and Piccolo to search for the
Dragonball at all the spots. Use Goku to after you kill the Cell Jr. that
has tooken the Dragonballradar if he approaches you ***Save Now***.

After you gotten the Dragonball take Piccolo and Krillin and fill up some
of the spaces below the second moantain. Cell will not be able to transport
there. Take Goku and put those 2 movements to use! But before you fight
Cell ***Save Now***. Now show Cell what you know and defeat him with Goku
only. Don't touch Cell with anyone else just keep moving and Cell should
move away from Piccolo and/or Krillin. Congragulations, you have unlocked
Cell, ending the stage.

-------------------------------
Great Saiyaman
(Beat Cell with Adult Gohan)

***Important****
(Don't restart the game for this one since this is the beginning of the chain
reaction to unlocking Videl. And to unlock her you'll need to beat Hercule
with Super Buu(Gohan) but through the first time you may want to kill him
with Vegito so just beat Dragonworld first then unlock Great Saiyan the second
time.)

Let Gohan get the peach this time and make your way to the Androids. When
you get to them just fight #16 so Cell will appear. Chase him down and defeat
him with any custom you want. This match should be relatively easy if you
went through the game and recieved Mystic Gohan transformation. Just keep
saving after a win because Cell may just pull a quick one on. Great
Saiyaman is unlocked. You're one step closer to unlocking the deepest character
in the game which is Videl. Now storm through all the way to stage 6.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. Dragonworld stage 5
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Supreme Kai
-------------------------------
Supreme Kai
(Beat Supreme Kai with Goku)

All you have to get is Supreme Kai and get to Buu's cucoon. And advance
to the next stage. Use any custom. After you unlock him, defeat Vegeta
but don't touch the step northwest of the Dragonradar because you will
activate Buu's cocoon.

After you defeat Vegeta, go to top part of the stage where the zeni is and
search in the ground for a peach and walk on the trigger. After all that
talking use your movements to Buu's cocoon. Stage over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6. Dragonworld stage 6
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Majin Vegeta
Hercule
-------------------------------
Majin Vegeta
(Beat Vegeta with Goku)

Make sure you have this custom and this battle should be relatively easy:

Goku
King Kai x20
Super Saiyan
Super Saiyan 2
Kamehameha
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

Save after the first win because he may get harder the second time if your
careless. Congrats, you have SSJ2 Vegeta.

-------------------------------
Hercule
(Beat Fat Buu with Great Saiyaman)

This match should be really easy if you are on the spot that disables blocking
if you have this custom:

Saiyaman
Justice Punch(2)
Justice Kick(2)
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine

You may not always fight in the "No blocking" step so just make sure you don't
use either attacks if Buu is blocking. Now you are another step closer to
getting Videl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7. Dragonworld stage 7
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Gotenks
-------------------------------
Gotenks
(Get to Stage 7)

There's nothing to do on this stage but kill Super buu. As soon as you get here
they give you the capsule so just beat buu. But choose Gohan and search the
ground where he is so you can get the peach. Move Goku south and move Gohan
north. If you can, get the Dragonradar and get the dragonball.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8. Dragonworld stage 8
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Vegeto
Videl
-------------------------------
Vegeto
(Meet Supreme Kai and recieve Potara rings and bring one to Vegeta)

Make both of Goku and Supreme Kai walk to eachother. When they reach Supreme
Kai will give Goku the Potara earrings. Vegeta will appear. Make the both of
them walk to eachother. They will transport to a part of the stage and talk
until Vegeta puts it on. You have Vegeto.

-------------------------------
Videl
(Kill Super Buu(Gohan) with Hercule)

This is a long walkthrough, but not nearly as long as the stage 4 one but just
follow through and you should be ok. In the meantime try getting Vegito because
you will need him. First go up with Gohan. Buu will get a skill. He is able to
move twice. You have to draw him out so you can get Vegeto so you should fight
him the second turn. But do NOT lose to him until Buu has 1 point left. By that
time you should be close to having Vegito ***Save Now***. When you do get him
fight Buu until he has 1 point left. Make Hercule come a little closer to Buu
but leave a step in between because he will try to kill Hercule and not Vegeto.
But at this time fight Buu again but beat him until he's in the Red Health
Gauge. Then you can let Vegito lose. Now fight Buu with Hercule and make sure
you bought him Dynamite Kick. Congragulations, you have Videl. Now to the
last stage. I hope you been collecting the Dragonballs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9. Dragonworld stage 9
-------------------------------
Characters to get:
Teen Gohan
-------------------------------
Teen Gohan
(Beat Cell with Adult Gohan)
I'm not going to lie to you, I do not know if this is the right way to getting
Gohan. I got Teen Gohan somehow but I have no clue anymore, he just came to me.
There may be alternate ways to getting him but I do not know how to get him
here. Just kill Cell and kill Kid Buu because I'm hopping you have Teen Gohan
already. But be careful Kid Buu is the biggest scrub in this game. He will do
all his moves if you do not watch it. I suggest getting all three of the adult
saiyans and make sure Gohan has Super Kamehameha, Goku has Warp Kamehameha,
and Vegeta has Final Flash. This battle will not be easy at all. But if you
kill him save everytime. He will eventually frustrate you. And I'm speaking in
the least compared to what he's done to me.
