Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Mod Gives Split-Screen a Massive Upgrade

Key Takeaways

  • Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero modders add upgraded split-screen multiplayer for all stages.
  • The PC mods allow players to access various maps beyond the original limitations.

As a seasoned Dragon Ball fan with countless hours spent mastering the art of combat across various games in the franchise, I must admit that the recent development for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has me absolutely thrilled! The introduction of the DB Sparking Zero Minimalist Trainer mod on NexusMods is a game-changer, allowing local split-screen multiplayer across all stages. This is like being granted a wish by the Dragon Balls themselves!

A modifier for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has significantly enhanced the local multiplayer mode, allowing players to choose stages beyond just the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, now available to all gamers, was officially released following a three-day early access period for those who purchased the Digital Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of the fighting game. Fans have lauded Sparking Zero as an excellent revival of the classic Budokai Tenkaichi series and its gameplay, and they’ve also appreciated its numerous What-If scenarios and extensive character roster.

If there is one thing that some fans have criticized the game for, it would be the game’s split-screen multiplayer mode. In the original Budokai Tenkaichi trilogy, players could fight each other in local PvP, taking place in many of the game’s destructible environments. Sparking Zero was close to cutting this feature before release, due to the developers running into issues regarding the Xbox Series X/S version of the game. Sparking Zero did end up incorporating local split-screen multiplayer, albeit limited to one stage.

As an enthusiastic fan, I’ve got some exciting news for fellow Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero players on PC! If you’re tired of being confined to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber stage during split-screen play, there’s a solution. A dedicated modder has already rectified this issue with the DB Sparking Zero Minimalist Trainer mod available on NexusMods. This amazing modification expands your gameplay options significantly, allowing you to access nearly all 24 stages when using the trainer in multiplayer mode. Keep in mind that this mod is compatible only with the PC version of the game. Happy gaming!

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero PC Mod Makes Local Multiplayer Available on All Stages

Another mod that achieves the same effect is the Let’s Fight Somewhere Else mod by Sora101Ven, allowing players to access any stage in the game, even maps that players can’t actually fight on. Some of the maps that are normally inaccessible include various Cutscene and Story Battle Maps, such as Goku’s House, Kame House, and outer space. While this mod was originally intended for the split-screen multiplayer mode, players can also load this mod to change the locales of the battles in Sparking Zero‘s single-player story mode.

Initially, opinions among fans were divided about the restrictions in local multiplayer when it was initially announced for Sparking Zero, as one of the game’s main attractions lies in the open-environment battles. The online multiplayer does allow play on all stages, leading some to speculate that the game was designed with this capability from the start. However, the limitation seems to be due to the Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero version for Xbox Series X/S, where the developers had to ensure equal performance of split-screen multiplayer across all versions. This might have resulted in scaling back certain features on platforms that could handle all stages and their destructible elements.
