Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROfeatures plenty of great single-player content, with the game’s fantastic Episode Battle mode providing the lion’s share. However, those who venture into the Custom Battle menu can also find a series of special Bonus Battles, which lean further into thewhat-if?-style shenanigansthat make the game’s story mode so compelling.
There are 40 Bonus Battles inDragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, each of which will provide players with EXP and Zeni upon its completion. Many of them also reward unlockable characters and Battle Ability items, making this a must-play mode for those hoping to unlock everything for themselves rather than simply purchasing it from the shop using Zeni.
Most of the Bonus Battles inSparking Zeroare fairly easy to complete. However, there are a handful that have unique victory conditions that aren’t fully explained, which can make clearing them a bit of a nightmare. Players will find detailed instructions on how to complete these troublesome Bonus Battles beneath the table at the bottom of this page.
Updated June 23, 2025, by Thomas Bowen:The release of the first DLC pack introduces three new Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Bonus Battles, two of which rank among the most difficult in the game. Those returning to the title after a long absence will likely need to spend some time practicing, as taking down Cell Max at the Cell Max games and defeating Dr. Gero and his Androids can be incredibly difficult for rusty players. Sadly, the rewards for completing these new Bonus Battles are a little lackluster, although players can at least gain a sense of satisfaction from knowing that they’ve completed some of the game’s hardest content.

To complete Welcome to Frieza Force!, players will need todefeat all of the enemies without performing certain actions. Using an emote at any time will result in an instant loss, as too will hitting Frieza or finishing off Zarbon with Nappa’s Ultimate.

Thankfully, the time between finishing off an enemy and finding the next one is not counted toward this total.

Those hoping to complete Body Change Turns the Tables! will need touse Captain Ginyu’s Body Change Ultimate to switch bodies with Frieza and then win the fight.
