How do you unlock the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero alternate mission endings? Throughout the fighting game, in addition to the main sagas you'll also encounter what if-style mission endings known as Sparking Episodes. There are specific criteria you'll need to complete to unlock them, and we've tracked them all down alongside their requirements for you in one helpful guide. Please don't say we don't treat you.
Throughout Dragon Ball Sparking Zero wishes are. Before that though, let's dive into all the alternate mission endings and episodes.
How to unlock all Sparking Episodes
There are 14 Sparking Episodes to unlock in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. You need to play through Goku's episode to unlock the Future Trunks and Jiren episodes, so don't be alarmed if you don't immediately see these options in-game. It's important to note that you must complete these on normal difficulty. Attempting to unlock these on easy difficulty will not trigger the Sparking timeline events.
You can check each episode's unlock requirements by using the battle details menu, but if you're not looking to break the immersion we've got all of them here, separated by episode. In the fights that require you to beat your opponent as quickly as possible, you usually have just under two minutes to finish the job. If you don't, the match will end abruptly, forcing you to start over.
