Play Dragonball Advanced Adventure (E)(Rising Sun) Online

Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, published by Bandai. It was one of those solid side-scrolling action games that felt right at home on the GBA, blending beat 'em up action with some light platforming and boss fights. The game covers Goku's early adventures, from his first meeting with Bulma up through the battles with the Red Ribbon Army.

You control Goku through a mix of side-scrolling stages and one-on-one arena fights. The main goal is to progress through the story, defeat bosses, and collect the seven Dragon Balls. Signature mechanics include switching between ground combat and flying shooter sections, using power-ups like the Power Pole and Nyoibo, and unlocking special moves as you progress. The pacing is brisk, with some challenging boss encounters that require pattern recognition. It feels energetic and faithful to the early tone of the series.
