Dragon Ball Z Gaiden:  The Plot to Destroy the Saiya-Jins
Walkthrough by
Vegita, Guardian Of Destiny (VegitaBOD@aol.com)




"Ok, folks, I'm finally doing it.  I, Vegita, have finally decided to write a 
walkthrough for this game.  Therefore, I shall walk you through this game.  Does 
that sound fair?  Good.  Let us begin.

-----Here's the Walkthrough!-----

"The game starts.  You see a man (who looks suspiciously like Nappa, I might 
add) plotting to destroy Earth.  Cut to - Earth.  Gokuu and Gohan are met by Mr. 
Popo, God's (Kami's) personal Assistant.  He informs you that there are large 
machines that are wreaking havoc across the Earth.  The Machines (which I will 
refer to as "Mammon Machines" out of respect for Chrono Trigger, another Akira 
Toriyama endeavor) are releasing a toxic gas that is destroying everying around 
it - plants, animals, and people.  Gokuu and Gohan immediately set off to see 
what they can do to stop this menace.  They leave their house and fly to Bulma's 
city, where they locate her and her father at the Capsule Corp. Building.

"Bulma is unable to do anything about the machines.  Mr. Popo informs them that 
there is one in the Wasteland region on an eastern island (Mammon Machine # 1), 
one in the Desert to the south (Mammon Machine # 2), one on the Volcanic island 
to the southeast (Mammon Machine # 3), and there's one in the Yunzabit Heights 
to the far, far south (Mammon Machine # 4).  Piccolo then shows up, asking what 
he can do to help with this menace.  Gokuu suggests that they split up and each 
take out 1 machine, then meet back up in the far south and destroy the last 
machine.  Gokuu volunteers to head to the wasteland, Gohan decided to go to the 
desert area, and Piccolo says he'll go to the Volcanic island.  However, before 
they are able to leave on their seperate journeys, 2 monsters show up!

"Gokuu immediately goes Super Saiya-Jin and throws a Kamehame-Ha...only to find 
that it didn't work.  For some odd reason, the gas has a different effect on our 
heroes.  They can't remember how to use their special ki attacks!  Gokuu, 
Piccolo, and Gohan are forced to resort to hand-to-hand combat.  Fight the 
monsters.

::pauses while you defeat the evil monsters::

"Gokuu realizes that this isn't going to be an easy journey with baddies like 
this roaming about, so they head their separate ways to stop them from coming.  
Thus, our journey begins!"



-----Chapter 1-----

--Part A - Gokuu and the Wasteland--

"Gokuu starts off in the northwest corner of the map.  Before you start moving 
or anything, I should probably inform you of some important parts of this game 
(so you don't die).  First of all is the Map function on the menu screen.  If 
you select this, then you can travel to Bulma's City, Gokuu/Gohan/Chi-Chi's 
house, Kamesennin's house, and the island your character(s) have access to.  
Talk to 
-Bulma if you need technological help, 
-Kamesennin if you're looking for help finding the puzzle pieces (I think...this 
IS from memory, you know!), or
-Chi-Chi for a pit stop and life refill.  This is absolutely necessary to know, 
since during the beginning of the game, you will have relatively low life and 
strength, while the monsters are relentless.  

"As you collect clues regarding the location of the Mammon Machines, you'll want 
to save frequently, as any random battle could very well destroy you.  The next 
point you'll want to know is the auto-travel feature, on the menu screen.  
Select the "Auto" feature, then scroll to the spot you want to travel to.  After 
that, just select the cards you want to use to travel, and you will 
automatically be moved there.  Once you reach your destination, the "Auto" 
function will be turned off, ready for you to select a new destination.

"Ok, back to the actual walkthrough.  Have Gokuu travel to the town, and talk to 
the people there.  No one knows much, except there have been some wierd lights 
off in the west.  Interesting...travel to the big rock in the southwest.  It 
seems a little out of place, don't you think?

"After reaching the rock, you will find...absolutely nothing!  Just kidding, you 
WILL find a bird's egg.  This will hatch after you arrive, and a bird will fly 
out.  This bird will begin travelling across the map, towards the northeast.  
Follow it, and it will move further along.  Follow it again, and it will 
continue on until you both reach the nest in the corner.  Enter the nest, and 
the Bird will talk to you (don't ask me how; it's a Toriyama universe).

"Apparently while this bird had been...er, staying on the rock, it had heard 
several ongoings at the rock.  Namely, there's a giant machine hidden in it, and 
there's a monster guarding it.  Time to fly back to the rock!  Upon reaching it 
a second time, Gokuu will find the machine, and the guard!  Fight the guard!

::pauses while you fight the guard::

"There, that wasn't so hard, was it?  Now that the guard is gone, Gokuu 
automatically destroys the machine.  Good job!  1 down, 3 to go!  I wonder how 
the others are fairing...?"


--Part B - Gohan and the Desert--

"Gohan has no idea where to begin, so he might as well go to the town to see 
what the locals know.  Head to the town, and they will tell you that the pyramid 
to the south seems suspicious.  Travel to the Pyramid, and you'll discover it's 
too dark to enter.  You need a light source.  Now, who would have a light source 
you could borrow?

"Sadly, Bulma does NOT have anything she can lend you.  Return to the town on 
the island.  There's a man there that is willing to part with his flashlight.  
All right, NOW go to the pyramid!

"Upon entering, you'll find that this isn't the largest Pyramid in the world.  
Travel up, then head left into the main room.  Go all the way to the far-left 
wall, and you will find an inscription, telling you that there is an even bigger 
pyramid to the southeast.  Sadly, it has since been buried underneath the sands 
of the desert.

"Upon heading south east, you will find...nothing but sand (gee, imagine that).  
You WILL, however, find a VERY large sand dune.  Upon inspecting it, Gohan will 
discover the other pyramid!  Enter it.

"Wow, now THIS is a big pyramid.  Travel down the spiraling corridors to reach 
the center room, and go all the way to the back wall.  Gohan will find...A 
MUMMY!  Eep!  The mummy tells him to help get it unwrapped.  Gohan abliges, and 
you begin one of the DUMBEST games ever!

"The way the 'Catch the Mummy' game works is the Mummy appears in the center of 
the room (next to you), then quickly travels to either the north, south, east, 
west, or stays in the same spot.  Your job is to use your fantastic reflexes, 
and, as soon as the mummy moves, move in front of it by pressing the same 
direction it moved, and press the A button to grab it.

"For example:  Gohan and the mummy are in the middle of the room.  The mummy 
quickly dashes to the North.  Gohan (or you controlling him) should press Up, 
then press the A button when next to the mummy to grab it.  You need to do this 
12 times in 1 'Game' to succeed.

::waits for you to succeed at this lame game::

"Congrats, you've won the most pointless game ever!  Ok, after unravelling the 
mummy, you'll find...a young girl?  Apparently, this girl discovered the evil 
machine, and the henchmen there wrapped her up and left her in the pyramid, so 
no one would find them.  She then leads Gohan to the machine, where Gohan must 
now do battle with the guard.  Hope you have some healing items, since it's a 
LONG way from Chi-Chi's to the Pyramid to the girl to the machine!"

Ok, Gohan has won.  Now it's time for Piccolo!"


--Part C - Piccolo and the Island of Mystery--

"Piccolo arrives at the island, but he (as everyone else) has no idea where the 
Mammon Machine is.  Therefore, head to the town (it's to the south of where you 
begin).  Talking to the folks here didn't offer any help at all!  Well, there 
are several landmarks on the island to visit:  Pilaf's castle, a large rock, a 
lake with a hole in the ground, and the volcano itself.

"Piccolo won't find anything at any of the locations, except for the hole near 
the lake.  Upon entering, Piccolo will find a pink demon.  After threatening it, 
the demon will tell Piccolo that the machine is located below the Volcano.  
Well, now you know where to go!

"After reaching the Volcano, Piccolo will realize that it's just too darn hot to 
enter!  Now, who do you suppose could possibly aid him at a time like this?  
That's right, Bulma!  Head on over to the Capsule Corp. Building in the main 
city.

"Bulma is willing to help you, but first you need to do a little carpenter work 
for her.  Knock down 14 walls in the 3 tries, and she will help you out.  The 
problem is, there are 8 walls in each set, and you have to time when to release 
Piccolo's Ki at JUST the right time, or else you will only break 1 or 2 walls.

::waits for you to blow up some walls::

"There, you're a carpenter.  Bulma gives you a capsule full of snow, which 
should cool down that volcano nicely!  Head back to the volcanic island, travel 
to the volcano, and Piccolo will automatically use the capsule, cooling down the 
lava.  Piccolo then enters the volcano, finds the machine, and it's guard...

"Why, the guard is the very same Pink monster that told Piccolo how to get 
there!  No more threatening, Piccolo has to thrash this guy!

::waits while Piccolo gets evil on the pink demon's @#)$(@__(*::

"All right, Piccolo blows up his machine.  Next?"


--Part D - Where is Bulma?--

"Future Trunks arrives at the Capsule Corp. Building, looking for Bulma.  
According to Dr. Briefs, she is missing, but he's sure she'll be back.  As soon 
as Dr. Briefs mentions Vegita,though, Trunks, being the worried kid that he is 
(if something should happen to her, he won't exist!), sets off to find her.  
Travel to the Volcanic island.

"Trunks, after visiting the town, the volcano, the big rock, Pilaf's Castle, and 
the hole near the lake, STILL hasn't found her!  Well, there's not much to do 
now but...wait, what is that next to the northern coast?  Why, it's a couple of 
those monster-guys!

"Trunks will ask them where she is.  They tell him that she was taken to an 
island off the coast in the east, but he won't live to find her.  Take these two 
out and head to the island (it's 4 squares big, so it's not hard to find).

"Well, Trunks found Bulma and baby Trunks, and some bad guys!  Trunks gets ready 
to fight them, but suddenly, I (Vegita) show up to help out!   Yeah!  Now you 
have 2 people to fight with (although you can't control Vegita).

::waits for you to save Bulma::

"Ok, now that Bulma is save, everyone returns to the Capsule Corp. Building to 
talk about the situation with the machines.


--Part E - Reunion--

"Gokuu and Gohan meet up in the arctic area.  Piccolo is no where to be found, 
but they decide to set off and find the evil machine anyways.  Their destination 
should be the giant control tower in the East.  Travel there.

"Upon arriving, Gokuu and Gohan will be joined by Piccolo.  The guard at the 
tower will inform you that this isn't the last of the machines, this is merely 
the control tower.  What's worse is that the instructions have already been sent 
to the last machine, which is located somewhere on this desolate island!  Where 
to go, where to go?

"Well, if anyone would know, Bulma would.  Head over to Bulma, and she'll tell 
you that she has no idea where it could be.  Wonderful.  Head back to the arctic 
wasteland, and you will find a wandering monster.  Before you get the chance to 
find out where the final Mammon Machine is, though, he/she/it flies off and 
sicks his cronies on you.

::waits for you to drop the weaklings pestering you::

"Ok, after destroying them, everyone figures out that the monster-guy was headed 
for the big rock in the southwest (again...).  Head over there, and you will be 
joined by Vegita and Trunks once arriving.  Find the machine and destroy it, 
thus saving the Earth.

"Oh, wonderful...this particular machine had a special mechanism built into it, 
so when you went in to destroy it, it tried to destroy you!  The resulting 
explosion leaves your party crippled, just in time for a large group of enemies 
to attack.  You'd better heal yourself, and quick!

"After the first wave of enemies, the monster you met after arriving on the 
island reveals himself, and sends another legion at you.  Fight again.

"By now, you are probably tired of fighting.  Lucky for you, Trunks and Vegita 
show up just in time, to aid you.  Now, your team is back together again!

::waits while you blow up the remaining enemies::

"Finally, there is the lone monster-guy.  Drop him!

::another fight::

"All right, you've saved the world, and your own skin.  What next?  Well, you 
are telekinetically contacted by Dende, telling you to return to the main city.  
Seems there's some trouble brewing at the television station..."


-----Chapter 2-----

--Part A - Resurrection--

"Upon arrival at the Capsule Corp. building, Bulma will tell you that you need 
to get to the TV station, pronto.  Everyone else in the city is too afraid to 
comment on the situation, which means that something serious is goin' down.

"The TV station is all dark, save for 4 spotlights, illuminating 4 people - 
Freeza, Coola, Slug, and Taurus.  After a round of questions (how and why, 
mostly), you fly off to a deserted area of the world to fight.  Here they come!

"Your first fight is against Taurus and Slug.  Now that your characters have 5 
attack cards each, you'll fair well...as long as you also have a full compliment 
of items, in case you need to heal.  Stick to your special attacks (if you get 
the chance to use them), and blast away!  Your second fight will be against 
Freeza and Coola.  Coola's the stronger of the two in this group; take him out 
first.

::waits for you to trash the villains of the past::

"Now that you've defeated those guys...they get back up again, and start 
fighting once more!  Great...time to fight them again!

"After beating up Taurus and Slug (again), you'll face off against the Cold 
Bros.  King Kaioh will then telepathically tell Gokuu how to properly dispose of 
these irritants.  Defeat the group again and Gokuu will prepare to blast them to 
bits...but before he gets the chance to stop him, Freeza launches a huge blast, 
destroying the Volcanic island.

"This is not good at all, as this means that a LOT of people just died, 
including Mr. Satan.  All right, no one cares about saving Mr. Satan, but you 
need to bring those innocent lives back.  Not only that, though, but you need to 
travel into outer space to stop this alien menace before he gets the chance to 
try to destroy Earth again.  Bulma can make a ship for you, but she needs some 
alien crystals.  Those crystals were located in the big rock on the volcanic 
island, but that island isn't there any more...

"So, needless to say, you need to collect the Dragon Balls. Before you can find 
them, though, you need to get the Dragon Radar from Bulma.  Head to the Capsule 
Corp. building.


--Part B - Searchin' for the Dragon Balls--

"Ok, you have the Dragon Radar, and you need to find the balls.  Each one of the 
(remaining) islands has one, except for Kamesennin's island.  I suggest you head 
to the Arctic area first.  There are two here, one being to the south, on a 
white patch of land (no hills or anything).  The second is to the far southeast, 
near a training building.  Nab them both, then head to the desert region.

"Yeah, there is only 1 here in the desert, to the far south.  It's in between 2 
sand dunes, so using the radar (and pure luck) will net you another Dragon Ball.  
Now go to the wasteland.

"In the wasteland there are 2, and I suggest you get the further one first.  
After getting this one, head to Kuririn's house, to the northwest of where you 
got the Dragon Ball.  If you tried to visit Kuririn's house before, and he 
wasn't there, then you wouldn't be able to get the Dragon Ball.  Now that you 
have all the others, Kuririn will be back, and can give you his.  Woo hoo, that 
makes 5!

"Now, where could those last two Dragon Balls be?  Well, if you head to the main 
city, you'll find Pilaf there.  Figures, the bad guys never die when their homes 
do...anyways, he'll tell you that he has 1 of the Dragon Balls, and the other is 
in the special box he had that could shield the ball from your radar.  He'll 
then tell you that it is in the desert area.  Well, back to the desert!

"Now that you know it's here somewhere, the ball will appear on your radar.  
Locate it, then return to Pilaf.  Pilaf gets his wish, and the island is 
restored.  Head to the island, go to the rock in the southwest, get the 
crystals, and return to Bulma.  Finally, you're off this stinkin' planet!







"Don't worry, folks...I'll finish this really soon.  I just wanted to get out 
this much of it, so people would stop asking me questions like 'What am I 
supposed to do with Gokuu?'  No, on to checking and making sure all of that is 
right..."
