Slice of Life

Engage in a simulation battle against Piccolo to learn the basics of combat. Use melee attacks with the [Circle/B Button] and ki blasts with the [Square/X Button]. Your health and ki meters are in the bottom right, while the enemy's health and stun meter are in the upper right.

Dodge attacks by tapping the [X/A Button] in a direction, or Boost by holding the same button (this expends ki). Guard against attacks using the [L2/LT Button], though you will still take some damage.

Access Super Attacks by holding the [L1/LB Button] and pressing a corresponding button on your screen. For example, Triangle/Y performs Goku's Kamehameha. Super Attacks also consume ki.

Hold the [Triangle/Y Button] to charge your ki at any time.

During the fight, watch for Piccolo's Demon Flash Strike (a charging maneuver) and either block or dodge it.

Dodge Piccolo's energy attacks (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) and his subsequent Rapid-Fire Ki Wave by dodging to random spots.

When the bar to the right of your character portrait fills, you will learn about the Surge mechanic. Activate Surge mode when you see the character power-up cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) and continue attacking until Piccolo is defeated.

After the battle, Goku wakes up and needs to collect ingredients for Chi-Chi: apples and fish.

Collect items by getting close to them; some important items require manual collection with the [Circle/B Button].

Follow Gohan to an apple tree and automatically collect the apple. Find a second apple tree and collect another.

Keep Gohan close as you head to the fishing spot. Goku will eventually carry Gohan when he gets tired.
