	The ''Super Butōden'' series is generally referred to by name in its untranslated form (adapting the English word "Super" from its Japanese incarnation of ''Sūpā'', and leaving ''Butōden'' untranslated). The "Butōden" brand name was used untranslated as such for the international release of ''Extreme Butōden'' on the Nintendo 3DS in 2015; similar marketing was done with words such as ''Budōkai'' on other generations of consoles.

			===Debug Mode===

			By way of cheat devices, a developer debug mode can be made accessible to players (see: Pro Action Replay Code '''7E002200''').

			Through this series of menus, players can set up specific matches, jump to certain story mode scenarios, play a particular piece of background music, etc.

			The same means of access give way to a debug mode in ''Super Butōden 3''; between this fact and the debug mode here in ''Super Butōden 2'' actually having header text explicitly reading as "DBZ3", it certainly speaks to the compressed and perhaps-overlapped development time between games.

			By leaving the game's attract mode playing uninterrupted for a certain number of times, two different characters will make a brief appearance on the game's title screen:

			* On the eighth run-through, Mr. Popo will pop his head out from behind the Dragon Ball in the game's logo.
			* On the fifteenth run-through, Piccolo will fly in from the left side of the screen, fire an energy blast, and fly away. This sequence will repeat if the player continues to leave the game running uninterrupted.
