History YMMV / DragonBallZTheLegacyOfGoku

* FanonDiscontinuity: The first Legacy of Goku is generally ignored [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames and for good reason]]. The only reason to even play it now is out of [[BileFascination morbid curiosity]], and to see [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel just how ''massive'' an improvement]] the sequels are over it.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: ''Legacy of Goku II'' and ''Buu's Fury'' notably feature soundtracks consisting of remixes of the music composed by Bruce Faulconer for the original North American English dub of ''Dragon Ball Z''. Hearing these epic songs straight out of the anime in 16-bit form is a real treat. Even fans of the original music are fine with it.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Broly's expression if you trick him into jumping into lava in his boss fight in ''Buu's Fury''.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Goku's "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" yell as he dies in the first game. Is also {{Narm}}, as it sounds almost like [[TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh the sort of yell Gopher lets out when falling down a hole.]] This is probably why no grunts or shouts are made by characters in the second game.

* HilariousInHindsight: When Gohan transformed into Super Saiyan 2 in the fight with Cell, the game mis-labels it as "Super Saiyan Rage". Then Anime/DragonBallSuper comes out with an actual Super Saiyan Rage form for Trunks.

** In ''Buu's Fury'', an early FetchQuest has you retrieve a Senzu Bean for Videl. If you use the bean before delivering it, the game will mindlessly subtract one bean from your empty stock anyway, causing it to wrap around and give you 255. This is [[GameBreaker particularly broken]] when you consider that ordinarily you can only carry 3.

* ThatOneLevel: The bit in ''II'' where you have to move three dinosaur eggs down a mountain. It's only two screens, but you ''can't attack'', [[NoDamageRun you're not allowed to take damage]], and you have to do the exact same thing three times with no changes to the gameplay.

** Weighted clothing in ''Buu's Fury'', which increases your XP gain at the cost of decreasing your speed. Thing is, it doesn't slow you down ''that'' much. Before long, you'll be ten or twenty levels ahead of the curve and killing every enemy in one shot.

* GrowingTheBeard: ''The Legacy of Goku II'' is considered when the series really started getting good.

* DemonicSpiders: Due to the NintendoHard nature of the first game, just about every enemy in the game qualifies, but special mention goes to the wolves. They are extremely powerful and take a lot of effort and luck to beat, but they are the most common enemy in the early stages of the game. In fact, there are several of them in the woods surrounding Goku's house, and they could very well be the very first enemy you fight in the game. Many players have started the game, saw a wolf, and then the next thing they saw was the game over screen.

* GoddamnedBats: ''Legacy of Goku II'' has the mechanical ladybug enemies. They attack by shooting lightning at you, which has a fairly long reach and a long-lasting hitbox, making hitting them tricky. They're also the very first standard enemy you encounter, and they can easily kill you if you're not careful. Once you've leveled up a few times, they're not as deadly, but they remain a frequent annoyance throughout the game.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: OK, few will defend the first game in the series, but both sequels are regarded as good action RPGs for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance, and are thought to be one of the best non-fighting games based on the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Unlike it's sequels, this one's a piece of crap.
