Dragon Mission
Welcome to Dragon Mission! This is where the DBZ adventure for Goku begins. Select New Story to begin or Continue to continue previously saved progress.
The question mark icons on the map show locations to unlock as you advance in the storyline. A blue crystal ball will replay a cinematic you have seen to enjoy again, and locations with people's faces and the word "VS" next to them are missions for you to explore. To begin, move Goku over the pink and purple house and press the button.
Note: On missions where you use the Dragon Radar, be on the lookout for a Dragon Ball to collect. Collect all 7 Dragon Balls to summon the powerful dragon Shenron, and make a wish!
