DragonBall Z: Supersonic Warriors on GBA is one of those rare licensed fighters that actually gets it right. The controls are tight—no weird combos to memorize, just punch, kick, and blast your way through fights that feel straight out of the anime. You can jump into classic sagas or try "what-if" storylines for each character (Gohan vs. Frieza? Sure, why not).

The Z-battle mode is chaotic fun—imagine taking on waves of heroes and villains back-to-back while your ki meter barely recovers between fights. Only gripe? The shop system feels a bit random since you’ve gotta grind to unlock characters, but at least it gives you a reason to keep throwing energy beams around.

For a GBA fighter, it holds up way better than it has any right to. You can tell the devs actually watched the show.
