Easter Eggs

Master Roshi's Spinning Turtle Top
You can make Master Roshi move on the loading screen by rotating the analog stick to increase his spinning speed. Once he gets up to a good speed, you can move the analog stick left and right to make him move. You can even make him jump up and down sometimes!

Secrets

Play in the Night version of some Stages
When selecting a stage to battle in, instead of using the A button, select the stage with the Y button. Some stages don't have a night version, but they may start off in a different part of that stage while choosing it with the Y button, like if you pick the Red Ribbon base with the Y button, you will start outside instead of inside.

Note: Some stages do nothing while picking it with the Y button.

Trunks's Sword
If you play as Trunks with his "normal" capsules, he will fight without his sword on his back. However, if you equip the capsule "Burning Slash" in his skill slots, he will start out the battle wearing his sword.
