Moon / Tail     -          During the fight against        80 Points
                           Vegita, when Gohan get's
                           there, this will turn him into
                           a giant, raging Oorazu.  His
                           Power Rating goes up by 10.
Porunga         -          A large, green being with two  150 Points
                           ...um...holes in the side of
                           its head that kinda look like ears.  It's a
                           really big dragon-thingy, that grants you 3
                           wishes when you use it in battle:  Full life
                           to everyone in your group, a level up for
                           all members of your group, and half life for
                           the enemies you're fighting.  Yes, this item
                           has finally been confirmed!


----Various Items (Cannot Sell)----

Name            -          Effect

Dragon Radar    -          Used to locate the Dragon Balls on Earth
                           and, later, Namek.  Once used, you can
                           press the A button to zoom out a bit, then
                           again, then again.  Pressing it again will
                           take it back down to it's original scope.
Crying Gohan    -          Used in the fight against Raditz.  After
                           using this, at the end of the round, Gohan
                           flies out, and bashes Raditz in the chest.
Namekian Toad   -          This is NOT used in the fight against Ginyuu.
                           For some odd reason, you only use this to get
                           the Yajirobee card back on Earth, prior to
                           the fight against Nappa and Vegita.
Dragon Balls    -          Collect these on Namek to call Porunga, the
                           Namekian Dragon, to grant your wishes.

----Unknown Items----

Name            -          Rumored Effect

???????         -          Ok, here's what you do to see what this is.
                           When you first touch down on Namek, fight
                           until one of the enemies gives you a
                           scouter.  Now, go fight Kewie, with the
                           scouter on, so you get to see what his
                           Power Rating is.  Then immediately use the
                           Vegita card.  Vegita will come in, then it
                           will give you the option to use some odd
                           looking card.  It's all messed up, and
                           green.  And when you use it on someone,
                           their life drops to 0.  What's the point of
                           this item!  Someone tell me so I know it
                           isn't just a fluke in my game!


----In Depth Look at Items and their Uses----

Here are a more in depth look at items, the characters they are associated
with, and what they do.

----Restoration Items----

Bulma:  Woman with purple-ish hair and a yellow shirt/jacket.  Bulma is/was the
first woman ever seen in Dragon Ball, and the second person seen overall.  This
item will restore up to 25 lost hit points.  Very nice in the first couple of
chapters of the game, but a tad outdated by the time you reach Namek.

Kamesennin:  Old, Bald man wearing sunglasses.  This item will restore up to 50
lost hit points.  Better than a Bulma card, and slightly more useful.  You
might actually want to keep these around when you hit Namek.

Kami-Sama:  Wrinkly Green man with antenna.  This man is God himself
(literally), and restores ALL your lost hit points.  They can be used to give
Gohan, Gokuu, or Vegita a level-up (if their life it below 5).  They're fairly
cheap, too, which makes them absolutely indespensable.  Always make sure you
have at least 1 with you.

Puar/Pool:  Odd looking blue-ish cat with a bluish-white face and no nose. 
Puar/Pool (could be translated either way) restores 10 Ki points.  These are
relatively common to win from battles, so you're bound to have some handy. 
Sadly, you don't use your Ki attacks very often, so these aren't as useful as
you might think.

Mr. Popo:  Stark-black man with no nose, red lips, and a turban.  Mr. Popo is
God's right-hand man.  His item will completely restore your Ki points.  Very
nice indeed, especially for the Vegita fight (Gokuu using a Genki Dama costs
quite a bit).

Senpyou:  A blue cat with a nose (his eyes are closed) and a staff.  Senpyou is
the cat at the top of Karin Tower, and the holder of the Senzu seeds.  That's
what this item is, actually.  Senzu seeds are the magical food items that
completely restore your hit points AND ki points.  VERY nice.

ShenLong:  A large Dragon.  Shen Long (Jackie Chan's name in Chinese) is the
dragon called up when all 7 dragon balls are gathered.  Shen Long, in this
game, completely restores ALL characters' hit points and Ki.  VERY expensive,
but also VERY nice to have for the Freeza fight.


----Card Changing Items----

Enma-Daiou:  Large Pink-ish man with a horned hat and a beard.  Enma-Daiou, the
gatekeeper of Heaven and Hell, is a VERY large man who maxes out one card's
attack rating, making it a "Z" card.  This is a nice card, but it's not the
greatest card out there.

Uranai Baba:  Old woman with a witch-like hat.  Baba is Kamesennin's slightly
younger sister, and the item that bears her face makes one card's defensive
rating a Z, or max.  This is better than the Enma-Daiou card, because while you
can attack first and attack hard with Enma-Daiou, with this card, you might
just survive long enough to attack again.

Son Gokuu:  Adult man with wild, black hair.  You should know who Gokuu is if
you're playing the game, right?  This is an awesome item, because it makes the
card you use it on have a max (Z) offensive rating, a max (Z) defensive rating,
and allows the character that uses it attack every enemy in the group.  In
other words, you have the highest defense, highest offense, and if there are 5
enemies you are fighting, instead of just hitting one of them, you'll attack
all of them.  Very nice to have, but a tad costly.

Piccolo:  Green man with a turban.  Ah, the Devil himself.  When Kami (God)
became God, he had to exsponge all the evil from his body.  All that evil
became Piccolo Daimou.  Son Gokuu, as a child, defeated that incarnation, but
before he died, Piccolo Daimou created 1 final offspring, which is this present
Piccolo.  You should know what Piccolo looks like, though, because he is one of
the two characters you start with.  His item allows you to change one opponents
attack and defense to 1 (the lowest possible), and changes the card style to a
different one (if it was that person's style of attack, then it would change it
so they would not be able to attack everyone).

Kame:  A brownish turtle with it's mouth open.  Kame, Kamesennin's sometimes
friend, changes ALL of your cards' offensive and defensive ratings.  This can
be a blessing and a curse, but I usually prefer not to risk it.

Chi Chi:  A woman with long, black hair.  This card is VERY nice to have, since
you pick which card you want to use it on (i.e., a VERY strong card can become
a Ki card, if you choose).

Oolong:  Funny looking pig.  Ah, Oolong.  This item, along with Bulma and
Puar/Pool, are THE most common items.  The Oolong card changes ALL your cards
to a completely new set of cards.  That means new styles, new offensive, and
new defensive cards.  These are surprisingly effective when you're fighting
some of the later battles (and you have absolutely NO good cards).


----Character-Effect Items----

Lunch/Kushami:  A Yellow haired, severely P.O.ed-looking woman.  Kushami is a
beautiful, innocent young girl with blue hair (not Bulma, though, because Bulma
is FAR from innocent).  Unfortunately, whenever Kushami sneezes, she turns into
the golden-haired woman, Lunch.  Lunch is BEYOND violent, and ALWAYS seems to
have a weapon at hand.  Her(their?) item allows whatever character you use it
on to attack every enemy in the group for 1 round.  This is a VERY effective
card, since it allows the character to use even Ki attacks on everything, with
the cost of only 1 use.  Which means that TenShinHan is the ultimate warrior,
since his 12 eyes technique cannot be dodged.

King Kaioh:  A blue catfish-like man sporting sunglasses.  King Kaioh is the
ruler of the small planetoid at the end of Snake Road.  His item, whomever you
use it on, raises their Battle Rating by 25%.  This is a VERY nice card to
have, since before/during the Vegita & Nappa fight, they are fairly common to
win from battles.

Saichourou:  Gigantic, wrinkly green man.  You'll see a Kami item WAY before
you ever see one of these, and besides, this man is easily 3 times the size of
Kami.  Saichourou is the Namekian elder, and his card is easily one of the best
in the game to have.  It raises your power rating by 1/2.  Wow.  That means
that even if you've only got a power rating of 416, you power will jump to 624.
 Geez, that's a lot.


----Various Items (Cannot Sell)----

Dragon Radar:  Looks like a large watch, except instead of a watch face, it has
a digital readout with a green grid and (hopefully!) green lights signifying
Dragon Balls.  This is used to find the location of the Dragon Balls.  After
you use it, by pressing the A button again, it will increase the readout
radius.  You can do this two more times, but pressing it a fourth time will
shrink it back to the original size.  You exit the readout by pressing the B
button.

Gohan:  Small, crying child with a yellow and green shirt.  This item is
required to beat the game.  You get it by travelling to Mr. Popo's house on the
eastern side of the main continent.  Defeat the 4 Gold Sfuru-Jin, and you have
the item.  The Gohan item is used against Raditz.  Simply use it during the
battle, and at the end of the next round, Gohan will slam Raditz, stunning him.
 At this point, Gokuu can now grab Raditz and hold him long enough for Piccolo
to kill him.

Namekian Toad:  Yes, folks, this does exist!  That's right, you can get it
during the fight against Vegita on Earth.  All you have to do is purchase a
Lunch card, then visit Yajirobee.  He'll tell you that Oolong is looking for
some hentai pictures, so go visit Oolong and talk to him a couple of times. 
He'll take the Lunch card (that pervert!), and give you the Namekian Toad. 
Sadly, though, this item isn't used against Ginyuu at all.  After gaining it,
you are to take it to Yajirobee, who then...gulp...eats it.  Awfully hungry,
wasn't he?  After eating it, you'll get a Yajirobee card, which I suggest you
hold on to, in case Vegita decides to turn into an Ooarzu...

Dragon Balls:  One of seven yellow orbs, each with a different number of stars
in the center (1-7).  The Dragon Balls are collected to summon Porunga on
Namek.  The location of these can be found using the Dragon Radar.  And since
Gohan has a Dragon Ball on his hat at the beginning of the game, that means you
should easily be able to find him...

----Various Items (Can Sell)----

Green Scouter:  A Saiya-Jin piece of machinery.  They are all white, with a
green screen that flips over the eye, which projects the readouts.  These are
used to determine the power rating, Hit points, and Ki of the enemies you are
fighting.  Unfortunately, they have their limits.  Once used, they only detect
the next 3 fights before quitting, and if they try to register someone with a
power rating over 23,999, then it'll explode.  This causes you to lose it. 
Sorry...

Red Scouter:  Looks like a Green Scouter, but with a red readout screen.  This
is just the same as the Green Scouter, except these also read the attack cards
of your opponents, it will last for 5 fights, and it can't read over a 199,999
power rating without exploding.  Sorry...

Grandpa Gohan:  An old man with a white beard and a cap.  Not to be confused
with Child Gohan or Kamesennin (another Gohan, another old man with a white
beard), this card stuns the enemy you use it on.  Sometimes, it remains
effective for more than 1 round of fighting, while others snap right out of it
and attack.  It's all random, but you're guaranteed a round of fighting with
it.

Bubbles:  A brown monkey.  Bubbles, King Kaioh's pet/friend, certainly is an
odd character.  His item allows you to fly or walk for a period of time without
being attacked.  Very nice during the Vegita fight, since you have a certain
amount of time to find them in between rounds.

Yajirobee:  A fat man with shaggy, long black hair.  Yajirobee's item only
appears twice in the game (as far as I know), and isn't near as useful as it
was in DBZ 1 for the Famicom.  His item summons Yajirobee, who attacks the
target of your choice.  He's not that strong, either.

Vegita:  Man with wild black hair and a LARGE widow's peak.  Vegita (my
favorite character) has a rather interesting item.  You earn it from him after
you beat him on Earth.  His item allows you to call him into a battle, where he
will fight alongside you.  He will stay for the entire round, but is
uncontrollable.  At least he won't attack you...

Buuku Juitsu:  A shot of someone (Gokuu?  Piccolo?  Vegita?) flying along with
a large Ki field around them.  This card has 2 uses.  The first is rather
pointless: where ever you are on the overworld map, if you use this, it will
take you to the nearest Healing place (Bulma's house, etc).  If you are in a
cave, then this will allow you to transport out of the cave, returning you to
the cave entrance.  It's good to have for the latter, but not the former.

Moon/Tail:  A shot of the moon/a Saiya-Jin's tail.  This card is given to you
after you defeat Nappa.  Once you've used this card, Gohan turns into an Ooarzu
(or as some people like to call it, a "Giant Ape").  Once he has done this, his
power is multiplied by 10, making him a match for Vegita.  The only problem
with this card is, you get it after defeating Nappa, and if you didn't use it,
you lose it after defeating Vegita!

Porunga:  A large, greenish-monster lookin' thing.  This item can only be used
in battle, but grants you 3 wishes to be used at any time (you don't have to
use them all at once):
1)  It halves the life of all the enemies in the battle,
2)  It restores the life of all the characters alive in the battle, and
3)  It gives all the characters in the battle a level up (except
    enemies).
Ok, folks, here's how you get it: When Nail fights Freeza, hold out as long as
you can.  If you can actually do damage to Freeza, then when summononing
Porunga, you'll get one of 2 choices: receiving a Porunga card, or receiving a
Moon/Tail card.  Either one is nice to have; on the one hand, you get that
final level up for everyone easily, while on the other hand you have an awesome
fighter in the way of Gohan for the final battle!


----Unknown/Rumored----

??????????:  Well, it looks like a green glitch.  As I stated above, here's
what you you do to see what this is.  When you first touch down on Namek, fight
until one of the enemies gives you a scouter.  Now, go fight Kewie, with the
scouter on, so you get to see what his Power Rating is.  Then immediately use
the Vegita card.  Vegita will come in, then it will give you the option to use
some odd looking card.  It's all messed up, and green.  And when you use it on
someone, their life drops to 0.  What's the point of this item?  Man, what a
weird item.  I REALLY don't know what to make of it...
