Play Dragon Ball - Advanced Adventure (U)(Ongaku) Online

Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, developed by Dimps and published by Bandai. It arrived during a time when the handheld was full of licensed action games, but this one stood out for sticking close to the tone and style of the original Dragon Ball series, before all the planet-busting power-ups took over.

You control a young Goku, moving through side-scrolling stages that mix beat 'em up combat with light platforming. Your main goal is to progress through the story of Goku’s early adventures, facing off against classic rivals like the Red Ribbon Army and Mercenary Tao. Signature mechanics include using Goku’s extending power pole to attack enemies from a distance or vault across gaps, and charging up your Kamehameha wave to clear groups of foes. The game shifts between straightforward action levels and one-on-one boss battles that demand pattern recognition and quick reflexes. It feels energetic and faithful, like playing through an episode of the show.
