In the story, Son Goku is a super fighter who has the abilitysimilar to Superman’s. He fights against many evil invaders and saves the Earth againand again. He has many friends, and in particular, Vegeta is his friend as well as rivalwho always wishes to beat him. In <Majin Buu Saga>, the ultimate evil fighter calledMajin Buu is resurrected and brings a great threat to the Earth! Even in full power, Gokucannot beat him because Buu is fissionable. In order to gain more power, Goku now fusewith Vegeta to transform to the super fighter – Vegetto! Vegetto must kill as many Buusas he can to rescue our world, or else it would be disasterous. For game play, Dragonball Z – The Sky Battle is just like the classic arcade top-downshooter 1942 with a different setting. In Sky Battle, the user plays as Vegetto and controlsVegetto’s position on the screen via the left, right, up and down arrow keys. Vegetto’senergy ball attack is released by the hitting of space bar. The goal of this game is toshoot down as many Majin Buu as possible in order to get more than 49999 points.During the game, more than one Majin Buu will appear on the screen (because he isfissionable), they will descend from the top to the bottom of the screen with a randomtrack of motion. User will have 3 lives for Vegetto as default. When Majin Buu hitsVegetto with his body, Vegetto will lose 1 live by that. If all 3 lives are gone, then thegame is over. On the other hand, user must manage to control Vegetto well and tries toavoid colliding with Majin Buus. User can kill Majin Buu by shooting energy ball to them.Majin Buu is killed if it gets shot, and user’s score is raised for each Majin Buu shot.When user’s score reaches a certain value, the amount of Majin Buu generated at a timewill be increased and different forms of Buu will show up in order to level up the difficulty.If game is over, user can choose to re-play the game.2.
