Ahead of Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft's launch of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, a full list of trophies and achievements for the game has appeared online. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is the long-awaited fourth entry in the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi series. Much like past games, Sparking Zero contains a huge roster of fighters from across Dragon Ball's history, ranging from the popular picks like Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan, to the relatively obscure but still loved Frieza Soldier, Ginyu Force, Android 13, and Dyspo, among many others.
Not only does Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero feature a 181 character roster to play around with in multiplayer, but it also has an expansive single player campaign. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's story mode takes the player through the original series' plot and also features a number of "What If" storylines that can be triggered based on the actions taken throughout the story. A few days before Sparking Zero's early access launch, the game's trophy/achievement list was posted online, giving fans an idea of what to expect and what modes are available in-game.

Based on a list posted to PowerPyx, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will have 50 trophies to obtain, with one Platinum, two Golds, 11 Silvers, and 36 Bronzes in total. 22 of these trophies are obtained automatically by playing through the game's Episode Battles mode, which are all story-related. There are also a few trophies tied to unlocking the fighters of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's enormous roster, meaning every character won't be available at the start of the game.

Some of the trophies in this list are tied to Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's online multiplayer, with the player needing to fight in three and then 100 online battles. However, players don't need to win all of them to get these two achievements. Other achievements in this game might require a lot of playtime, such as earning a total of 1,000,000 Zeni and spending that total amount, or obtaining different ability items.
Another achievement requires the player to summon Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron from the Dragon Balls and make a wish on each one, along with winning one of the five tournaments available in-game. While the first three Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi games didn't have achievements, Spike Chunsoft's successor series, the Raging Blast duology, did. Both Raging Blast and Raging Blast 2 had trophy lists that contained 50 achievements, which required the player to win a tournament or unlock all the characters. As such, Sparking Zero's achievements are relatively standard.
