title screen from the show. There is also one that has to do with each main
villain played against in the game.

In the alternate Cell Ring, pieces of mountains will have holes blown through
them, houses will be smoking in the background, and the ring itself will be
cracked and almost destroyed. Also in the background, some buildings have
holes in them and one even has part of a train track in it.

your opponent, with twisters in the background.

Alternate endings:
After you complete the story mode you will be able to go back and do new
missions in the three different sagas to unlock characters and items. After
you do the new missions for each saga (can be done randomly), another mission
opens where the story from the cartoon and game is changed. In the Saiyan
Saga, you play as Vegeta and take on the Z Fighters. After Vegeta defeats each
of them he turns Super Saiyan. In the Namek Saga, you play as Frieza and once
again take on the Z Fighters. Once they are defeated Freeza, will use the
Dragonballs and ask to be invincible. His wish is granted and he destroys
Namek and then goes after Earth. In the Android Saga, you play as Cell. After
absorbing Android 17, Cell goes after Android 18. He will try to absorb her
but Krillin will jump in the way and be absorbed instead. Cell will become a
hilarious fusion between the two. He will then take on Yamcha. After the
fight, Tien goes to blast him but Cell suddenly wakes up from a dream. He is
in his Perfect form waiting for the Cell Games.
These episodes can be unlocked when you complete Story Mode at any level.
