Secret code for unlocking characters in Advance Adventure

Post by Adamant » Mon Mar 14, 2005 6:53 pm

Okay, this isn't exactly new info, but I didn't know of it before today, and there's no other thread on it, as far as I know.

Straight from Bandai themselves, the secret code for activating the rest of the playable characters in the game (if you have found their portrait, that is):

Simply press "L, R, up, down, L, R, left, right, R, R, right" on the title screen. Now, enter Extra Mode, and you'll have a huge amount of new characters unlocked. Finally, you can play as Pilaf in a DragonBall game.

The site itself doesn't list the characters, and the code doesn't really unlock them either, it simply enables you to unlock characters by collecting their respective portraits (as well as unlocking the characters whose portrait you've already collected).

When I entered the code, I unlocked the following characters:

Oolong
Pilaf
Shuu
Seregant Metallic
Pirate Robot
General Blue
Adjutant Black
Akkuman
Tambourine
Drum
Red Ribbon Soldier
Wolf
Robot
Drone Gun
Mazoku

And this is in the 2-player VS mode? Doesn't seem that many characters can fit in the screen counting the other ones the six that are unlocked normally...

No, that's for the main 'story' mode IIRC. The tournament mode only has those you can see plus 2 hidden (Daimao and Cyborg Tao).

Do they have alternate storylines or is it just you doing Goku's story with a different sprite?

Mazoku in terms of the Slayers would be "demon race/civilization/person" so thats possible I guess but I've never heard Dragon Ball use it before...

I know this is a little off-topic but; Mazoku was used in Yu Yu Hakusho to refer to Yusuke, when Enma discovered that he was a demon.

"Mazoku" is the general term that Piccolo-Daimao's minions use to collective refer to themselves. Explicitly it's just Tambourine, Piano, Cymbal, and Drum... but when Piccolo-Daimao starts... err... taking over, the "bad people" across the world start referring to themselves as "Mazoku," too. The "ma" is the general "demon" we all know, and "zoku" is "family" or "class" or "race".

I don't own the game, so I don't know which single character that's referring to, though. There's no actual character literally named "Mazoku."

Yeah, he's not really called "Mazoku", but he's not given a name in the game, and he didn't appear in the manga or anime, so I just settled for Mazoku. He looks kinda like a Kappa with wings.


EDIT: I believe he was in the second Famicom DB game, "Daimaou Fukkatsu". He went by the name Ukulele there.

Sounds like I've missed an interesting filler ep. Damn: the Piccolo-Daimao saga was just on YTV in January/February.
