  Daizenshuu EX - General - Tidbits - Sparking! ("Budokai Tenkaichi") Characters  
     
 
[ previous tidbit ]

Sparking! (known as Budokai Tenkaichi outside of Japan) featured an even larger cast of characters than seen in DragonBall Z 3 (Budokai 3). Taking an approach more like that seen in the Super Butôden games and Final Bout, each different form (or transformation) of a character is considered its "own" selectable character; you cannot, say, transform into SSJ in the middle of a match. This also means, however, that characters such as fusions can be used from the beginning to end of a match.

There are 49 "base" versions of characters to choose from. From these 49 characters, a grand total of 90 "costumes" (forms, transformations, etc.) can be chosen in battle. There are no alternate outfits (other than palette swaps for 2-player) such as in the DragonBall Z / Budokai series. To select an alternate form of a character, use the UP and DOWN arrows to choose the desired form on the character select screen while highlighting a character.

These screens all come from a 100%-completed version of the Japanese release of the game. As the game received a near-simultaneous release worldwide, there are no extra characters anticipated to surface.
