Gameplay

The gameplay is based on the standard classic "beat-'em-up" subgenre of fighting games, similar to games such as Sega's Streets of Rage series, or Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games.

This single player game takes place over twelve levels, each of which culminates in a boss fight.[2]

Game modes

Dragon Ball GT: Transformation sports multiple modes of play, but the story mode is the only one available from the beginning. The other gameplay modes must be unlocked by the player by purchasing them with acquired Zeni, which is rewarded to the player at the end of each stage, based on their performance. The player's total points are converted into zenie, and bonuses are rewarded based on multiple factors such as time, combos, and power-ups obtained.
