[edit] World Tournament

Budokai 3 keeps on going with the World Tournament mode from the previous Budokai games.

Along with the regular Adept and Advanced difficulties available for unlocking, a new mode of World Tournament was added.

Novice Tournament
Novice Tournament is available from the start of the game. The difficulty here is the easiest about four people to get through. Your prize for winning in First place is 10,000 zenie.

Adept Tournament
Beat the Novice Tournament and buy the Adept Tournament capsule from the skill shop. The difficulty here is medium with more people to get through. Your prize for winning in First place is 25,000 zenie.

Advanced Tournament
Beat the Adept Tournament and buy the Advanced Tournament capsule from the skill shop. The difficulty here is hard with more people to get through, most of the characters appear here. Your prize for winning in First place is 50,000 zenie.

Cell Games

Defeat Cell when he appears in Dragon Arena to unlock this mode. The concept of the Cell games is the same as the other tournaments where you face opponents and move further up the bracket but the only difference is that once you actually defeat the others Cell is always your final opponent. The Cell Games are the hardest of all the difficulties and is very challenging to beat.

Quick Money
If you want to get more money by winning in first place on either Novice, Adept, or Advanced mode read the following:

Equip a character with one of the following:

Sparking!
Sparking!!
Sparking!!!
Sparking!!!!
Sparking!!!!!
Sparking!!!!!!
Sparking!!!!!!!

Remember that you can only have one of these and the amount of '!' it has is the amount of spaces it will take up. The more '!' it has the more cash it will bring in so this is a quick way to get money quick.

[edit] Dragon Arena

The purpose of Dragon Arena is yo allow you level up your own character of choice
which you can afterwards get passwords generated by the game itself for other players
to combat.

Tips to Level Quicker
If you are pretty confident of winning set up your character with the Support Capsule of either:

WE GOTTA POWER!
WE GOTTA POWER!!
WE GOTTA POWER!!!
WE GOTTA POWER!!!!
WE GOTTA POWER!!!!!
WE GOTTA POWER!!!!!!
WE GOTTA POWER!!!!!!!

This will get you experience much more quicker depending on which one you equip. The more '!' the capsule has the more experience you would get. You also need to fight some high level people to get more experience quicker. Be aware though that WE GOTTA POWER!!!!!!! takes seven space which levels you very quickly but doesn't let you use any other capsule so you have to be very good when using this capsule.
