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

Game Overview

Dragon Ball - Advanced Adventure is that rare GBA game that actually makes you feel like you're playing through the original Dragon Ball anime—not just another DBZ power fantasy. You start off as kid Goku, bouncing between side-scrolling brawls against waves of goons and surprisingly tight platforming sections. The controls just click after a few minutes, especially when you pull off those satisfying pole-vault jumps or mid-air combos.

What surprised me was how much variety they squeezed in. One minute you're brawling through a Red Ribbon Army base, the next you're in a flying section dodging bullets or facing off against a screen-filling boss like Tao Pai Pai. The sprite work nails the goofy-but-dangerous vibe of early Dragon Ball, right down to Roshi's ridiculous turtle shell backpack.

And yeah, it's got that classic GBA charm—simple but punchy, with just enough extra modes (boss rush, versus fights) to keep you coming back. If you ever wanted to relive Goku's first adventures without rewatching the whole series, this is the closest you'll get.
