Dragon Ball GT is the most polarizing Dragon Ball series since its interesting ideas weren’t very impactful to the audience. It’s so forgettable that Dragon Ball video games rarely cover more than one Dragon Ball GT arc. Its representative pool is small, even when compared to Dragon Ball Super.

The Best Dragon Ball Games Of All Time, Ranked
Not every Dragon Ball game lives up to fans’ expectations. These are the best games ever made starring Goku and the rest of the Z fighters.
What makes Dragon Ball GT avoid being completely forgotten is its character roster. Many GT characters have such appealing designs and backgrounds, though only a few are present in most Dragon Ball games, like Goku GT, Gogeta Super Saiyan 4, Baby Vegeta, and Omega Shenron. Anyone else outside the small group is rarely included due to being more niche compared to the most popular GT characters.

Earliest Dragon Ball Interpretation
Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout
Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout was the first Dragon Ball GT game released for the Western audience. The roster holds only more significant fighters like Goku GT, Pan, Vegeta, Trunks, and Piccolo. Many other slots were filled with transformation forms, making them cloned fighters.
One huge issue with the game is the limited Dragon Ball GT representation. Dragon Ball Z characters are more present than GT fighters, including every playable villain. Baby Vegeta is present, though he’s only an unplayable boss character in his golden ape form.

T For Teen Due To Cartoon Violence, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes
Dragon Ball The Breakers allows the player to abuse a villain’s destructive powers while the weaker human players scour the fields for resources to fight back. One of the more dangerous raiders is Baby Vegeta since he can infect and control civilians to bend his will. He can even infect players to limit their options before preparing them to join his army.
After gathering enough energy, he can transform into his powerful Golden Ape form. It’s a great direct experience of how villains grow more menacing, though civilian players can use teamwork and transpheres to borrow enough power to resist the raiders, including Goku Super Saiyan 4.

T for Teen: Cartoon Violence, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes
Dragon Ball Fighterz paid good respect to its fighters, including GT characters. They don’t have a lot of representation, but their designs and movesets are some of the most impactful, like controlling an opponent’s character, strengthening specials in dire situations, or taunting opponents for an insta-kill move.
The only issue about the GT characters is their limited references. They don’t have any dramatic finish scenes except for Gogeta Super Saiyan 4, but it’s only with Gogeta Super Saiyan Blue rather than a more canonical fighter. Despite the missed chance of immersion, they at least have one of the better introductions and win screens in the game.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 portrays the significant battles from the original Dragon Ball to Dragon Ball GT. It covers the three Dragon Ball GT arcs with Super 17, Baby Vegeta, and Syn Shenron. While players can immerse themselves in its available sagas, its storytelling does more telling than showing the events. This can be confusing when trying to learn how Goku GT falls into dire situations against powerful opponents.
One of the cooler aspects of its story mode is its what-ifs possibilities. Some fights can canonically progress like in the anime, having fighters switch or transform when hitting a button prompt. If players don’t hit the button prompt, the fight can continue normally before resulting in a possible alternate ending.

There are also parallel quests that make time patrollers travel to alternate dimensions to fix their issues. This allows them to work with either allies or villains to face different opponents, creating unique interactions. Completing the quests rewards goodies like costumes and skills from the Dragon Ball timeline, including Super Saiyan 4 skin and Goku’s Kamehameha 10x technique.
