Game Cube : Dragon Ball Z : Budokai 2 Cheats
Below are the cheats, hints, and tips that Game Gas knows about for Dragon Ball Z : Budokai 2. On the right are
websites that may have additional cheat codes, hints, or tips for Dragon Ball Z : Budokai 2.
Vegeta (Majin form): Use S Final Explosion without dying:
Go to training mode and select "Practice". Choose Vegeta as your character, add Babidi's Mind Control, and select "Custom". Then, select any character and add Viral Heart Disease. Next, add the vaccine and select "Custom". Start the game. Wait until Vegeta's health gauge is red. Then, let the CPU hit you. You will now turn into Majin Vegeta. You can practice trying to perfect Majin Vegeta's final explosion without dying.
Ginyu:
In Dragon World, defeat Ginyu on Namek as Vegeta.
Vegeta: Big Bang attack:
Defeat Kid Buu as Vegeta on the Supreme Kai's Planet.
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.
Goku: Extra defense:
Put the following in the capsule slots: Mysterious Vest, Saiyan Spirit, Ki Flash (optional), and Kamekameha (optional). You will not need to block because you will have 175% defense.
Note: This also works for Hercule. Put the following in the capsule slots: Saiyin Spirit (or Hercule's False Courage), Miracle Power (or Kings Confidence), and the Study Vest (World Champion Vest). If Super Buu gets the Tien and Yamcha Absorption, you will be invincible.
Videl: Recommended moves:
Eagle Kick
Viral Heart Disease
Vaccine
Falcon Rush x2 (or one Falcon Rush and Meditation)
Videl's Close Call
Gokule: Change appearance:
First get the Gokule capsule for either Goku or Hercule. Then, before selecting either character, first change the appearance to their alternate costume by pressing Up or Down. Next, select the character along with the capsule. When you use the fusion and it is successful, Gokule will appear differently. You can do with other fusions, but their costume will only change.
Vegeta:
In Dragon World, defeat Vegeta as Goku on Namek.
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.

Goten: Immortal:
On the "5" place, chose Kid Trunks and Goten as allies. Have Goten and Trunks stand at the same location. They will do the spin power-up and Goten will get +30 defense and trunks will get +30 attack. 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.
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.

Helicopter: Press Right, P(4), Left, P. Note: For Kid Buu press P(4), Left, P.

Nose Dive Crash/Meteor Break
Bulma's costume:

Defeat Majin Vegeta the first time you fight him with Goku.
Alternately, defeat Majin Frieza or Majin Cell in the same manner.
If you defeat someone when the dizzy symbol is over their head, you will take away two life points. This is what makes it possible to get Babidi's Mind Contol (Majin Vegeta).
On the level were you must stop Majin Buu from being resurrected, kill Cell or Dabura to get Babidi's Mind Control for Vegeta.
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.
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.
Easy characters:
To unlock the characters easily, try to complete the Dragon World (the real game). About every time you defeat a character, you will unlock the person that you were battling against.
Dragon World: Extra move turnips:
In Dragon World mode, there are extra move turnips that allow you to move two spaces instead of one. In level 2, where Frieza starts the level is a hexagon shape, the move turnip is located at the top of the hexagon. In level 4, move downward and diagonal one space from where Goku starts and search there. In level 7, the move turnip is where your ally starts. Have them check the area. In level 9, it is where Goku starts from. Just have him search there.
Easier Fusion (Gotenks), Spirit Ball Attack (Yamcha), and Burning Slash (Trunks):
When doing the three attacks mentioned, pause game play when the button combo is halfway up the screen. Normally you cannot pause game play when it is totally on the screen. Memorize the button combo, then press Start again and execute it.

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.

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.

SS2

Super Saiyan 3 Goku:
Defeat Fat Buu the first time you see him, in the level where he gets resurrected and kills Babidi, with Goku. Super Saiyan 3 requires five Ki gauges to use. Once you transform your Ki will begin dropping very quickly. However, Super Saiyan 3 also super-charges your attacks. This means that Warp Kamehameha and Super Spirit Bomb (and your other attacks such as Kamehameha and Zanku Fist) will now be even more powerful than they already were.
Adept difficulty:
Unlock sixteen playable characters. The Adept capsule will appear in the capsule shop.
Videl:

Potara:
To get the Potara Capsule for Vegeta, you must wish for it from the Eternal Dragon Shenron at the end or Dragon World.

In Dragon World, defeat Nappa as Vegeta. This can only be done when you unlock Vegeta and start Dragon mode again.
Raditz:

Continue customizing character:
When on Stage 2 on Babidi's ship, you can still customize your character. Before you continue with Stage 2, add a full Senzu Bean onto you customized character. After your one bar of life is gone you will use the Senzu Bean and regain three full bars of life, extending the time that you can "endure your opponent's attacks".
Restore health during fight:
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.
Future Trunks:
In Dragon World, defeat Vegeta on Namek with Kid Trunks.
Frieza: Recommended moves:
Frieza's Space Ship
Death Beam or Death Wave
Death Ball
Put anything in the last slot
Fight 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.
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.
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.

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.
Advanced difficulty:
Unlock all twenty nine characters. The Advanced capsule will appear in the capsule shop.
Gain everyone's Devastation move:
At the end of Dragon World, defeat Kid Buu With the desired character to gain their devastation move. For example, Goku's Super Spirit Bomb, Vegeta's Big Bang Attack, Gohan's Super Kamehemehe, etc.

In Dragon World, defeat Frieza as Goku.
Cell:
In Dragon World, defeat Cell as Goku.
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.
Majin Buu:
In Babidi's Ship, get over 1,200 Kili.
