Dragon Ball Z: Densetsu no Chō Senshi-tachi ("Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors") is a card game/role-playing game developed and published by Banpresto for the Nintendo Game Boy Color released 30 June 2002 in North America, 09 August 2002 in Japan, and 08 November 2002 in Europe.

Gameplay
Battles in Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors are fought using a turn-based card system, each card representing a move. Attacking moves can range from basic punches and kicks to finishing moves like the Kamehameha and Genki-Dama, whereas defensive options include evasive moves and temporarily boosting a character's attributes.
Winning battles earns characters experience points, and upon leveling up one attribute can be increased permanently. Cards also get unlocked along the way, allowing players to choose strategically which ones to include in their deck of 20 cards.
Story
The story mode of Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors covers the events of the Dragon Ball Z television series, split up into 30 chapters of one battle each and accompanying cutscenes.
After an introductory cutscene that briefly describes the history of the Dragon Balls and Son Goku, the gameplay section of the story picks up after the battle against Raditz, with Son Gohan's training under Piccolo functioning as a tutorial for the game. The rest of the story follows more or less Gohan's perspective throughout the battles against the Saiyans, Freeza, Cell and Majin Boo, although there are a few fights he is not present for.
The character selection per battle is limited throughout the first playthrough, but players can choose any character they have unlocked for any battle in subsequent playthroughs.
