Name
The Japanese title of the series is Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! (ドラゴンボールZ Sparking!), which references the first and last word in the chorus of the first opening theme to the Dragon Ball Z anime series, "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" (performed by Hironobu Kageyama). However, the opening theme to the first game is the TV series' second opening theme, "We Gotta Power" (also sung by Kageyama). The North American title is a rearranged version of Tenkaichi Budokai (天下一武道会, lit. "Strongest Under the Heavens Martial Arts Tournament"), a recurring tournament featured in the manga and anime series. The game is not considered a part of the Budokai series, despite its misleading title. The game is also titled differently from the rest of the Budokai series in Japan. Were it a true Budokai game, it would have been Dragon Ball Z 4 in Japan.
Soundtrack differences
The North American release of the game does not feature the same music found in the original Japanese version. While Sparking! features actual music from Dragon Ball Z (and two other pieces from Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT where appropriate) as composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi, the American release of the game features recycled music from the Budokai series (composed in Japan by Kenji Yamamoto).
Gameplay
The games use a "behind-the-back" third-person camera perspective. The player can freely move and fly around in large 3D environments that are destructible. The player can also transform into different forms, such as Super Saiyan or Great Ape, depending on the character and situation. The games feature various modes, such as story mode, tournament mode, versus mode, and training mode. The games also include a large roster of playable characters from the Dragon Ball universe, each with their own unique moves and abilities .
