How to Unlock Goku’s Sparking Episodes in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

1. Chapter 1 – decide to help Piccolo in the mission “The Earth's Mightiest Duo”, then defeat Raditz as quickly as possible in the mission “Rematch and Result”. To do this, it's best to charge Sparking Mode and attack the enemy. Once you defeat Raditz, you will unlock the “Pushing The Limit” Arc.
2. Chapter 1 – instead of joining forces with Piccolo, you have to fight Raditz on your own. As before, you must quickly defeat him to unlock more content.
3. Chapter 2 – in Arrival on Planet Namek there is a small story alteration. While it is a minor one, many fans have problems with it, so we have prepared a guide. A short version is that you need to deflect the Jeice’s Crusher Ball attack or not.
4. Chapter 3 – this is the culmination of the what-if story. In the mission “Hyperbolic Time Chamber,” you must help Piccolo fight Cell, and ultimately defeat Android 16.
5. Chapter 4 – another minor story alteration is A New Power Awakens, but it is very frustrating for players, so we have prepared a separate guide. The main point is that you have to be very quick in defeating the opponent.
6. Chapter 6 – In this chapter, there are two missions with minor branching paths which cause problems for players: The Truth about Zamasu and Into a Third future. There is a trick to both. Speed in the case of the first one, timing in the second one.
7. Chapter 7 – the end of the adventure with Goku is near with Goku’s Strength episode. Learn how to unlock the what if ending.
