Once every Z-Item has been obtained (excluding the ones from Disc Fusion, PS2-exclusive branch of Ultimate Battle), the game will also give you Launch's Support.

==Dragon History==
The following Z-Items can only be obtained by completing certain scenarios of the story mode:
* Halo (complete "Final Battle" from the Android Saga)
* Demon Seal (complete "Destined Battle: Goku Vs Vegeta" from the Majin Buu Saga)
* Miracle Master (complete "Strongest Vs Strongest" from the Special Saga)
* Style of the Strong (complete "Dangerous Duo! The Ultimate Warrior Doesn’t Sleep" from the Special Saga)
* Power Body (complete "Frieza’s Ultimate Transformation!" from the Frieza Saga)
* Ultimate Body (complete "Dream Match: Goku Vs. Arale" from the What-If Saga)
* Draconic Aura (complete "Galaxy Battle" from the What-If Saga)

Please note that Power Body will not be unlocked if less than 75% of Dragon History is complete.

==Dragon World Tour==
Oddly enough, only Miracle Sparking can be obtained from this game mode, and it requires you to win Yamcha Game on the hardest difficulty.
In a similar fashion to Power Body, the game's story mode must be complete for it to be deemed unlockable.

==Shenron==
The following Z-Items can only be obtained by granting wishes from Porunga:
* Eternal Life
* Water Blessing
* Broly's Ring
* Aura Charge Ultimate
* Aura Charge Ultimate 3
* Aura Charge Ultimate 4

Since there are 6 Z-Items, you're required to gather the Dragon Balls twice.

==Ultimate Battle==
The following Z-Items can only be obtained by completing certain branches of Ultimate Battle:
* Perfect Guard (complete 50 missions in Mission 100)
* Combo Master (complete "Bardock War" in Survival)
* Quick Charge (complete all missions in Mission 100)
* #18's Kiss (complete Sim Dragon for the first time)
* #17's Scarf (complete "Ranking Battle" in Disc Fusion, requires Budokai Tenkaichi 1 disc)
* Medical Machine (complete "Course Battle" in Disc Fusion, requires Budokai Tenkaichi 2 disc)

===Ability Z-Items===
To understand how these Z-Items, let's explain how in-game stats work overall.
To represent the increase or decrease of a stat (Attack/Defense/Super/Ki), the game uses a number ranging from -25 to 50.

Said number is always a multiple of 2.5%. To best illustrate this point, Super Gogeta's Finish Sign will be used as an example.
When using the Blast 1 once, it boosts Attack by 10% (2.5 * 4) and Super by 25% (2.5 * 10).
As a result, his Super Explosive Wave (when unboosted) will go from 9120 damage to 11400 damage.
11400 / 9120 = 1.25, which is why the boost percentage is therefore 25.

Unfortunately, the boost percentage cannot increase or decrease forever.
In Dragon History and Ultimate Battle, the threshold is set to 50 (max percentage is 125%).
Outside of those gamemodes however, the threshold is set to 20 (max percentage is 50%).

So, in order to completely boost Super Gogeta's Super, you would need to use Finish Sign twice.
To do the same but for his Attack instead, you would need to use Finish Sign a total of 5 times.

Back to the main subject matter (although this applies to Skill Z-Items as well),
if the name of an Ability Z-Item says "Up" or "Down" (or its description says "[Stat] +X" or "[Stat] -X"),
then it will boost the chosen stat by X * 12.5%.

For instance, Attack Up 3 & Defense Down 2 will increase the character's Attack by 37.5%, and decrease their Defense by 25%.

But what do the stats themselves represent?
* Attack ---> Increase/decrease of the player's Melee Attacks and Ki Blasts
* Defense --> Increase/decrease of the opponent's damage (e.g. Defense Down 1 increases enemy damage by 6%)
* Super ----> Increase/decrease of the damage from a player's Blast 2 or Ultimate Blast
* Ki Power -> Increase/decrease of the player's active ki-charging speed

===Skill Z-Items===
If Ability Z-Items are treated as stat modifiers, Skill Z-Items can be considered as other modifiers.
That is because they can add, take away, amplify or weaken not just stats, but other aspects of gameplay.

In case it wasn't already obvious, they can also be stacked with Ability Z-Items.
Although, much like those potaras, Z-Items of a similar nature cannot be put together.
Surely, when that rule doesn't apply, Minus Effects usually have priority over Plus Effects.

===Strategy Z-Items===
Unlike Skill Z-Items, the effects of these Z-Items seem to be completely hardcoded.
Even though they help distinguish certain fighting styles and encourage the AI/COM
to fight differently, they don't work the same way for every character.

Regardless, here is what each potara does, based on 3 categories:

==Balanced Types==
Name: Goku Type
Description: Emphasizes close combat.

Name: Vegeta Type
Description: Emphasizes using ki blasts from a distance.

Name: Gohan Type
Description: Becomes offensive while in MAX POWER Mode.

Name: Krillin Type
Description: Emphasizes ki blasts, Blast 2's, and other ki-related attacks.

Name: Frieza Type
Description: Fights based on emphasizing Blasts.

Name: Cell Type
Description: Emphasizes attacking from dashing and then moving away; a “hit and run” strategy.

==Attack-Oriented Types==
Name: Trunks Type
Description: Emphasizes Rush Attacks and other high-speed attacks.

Name: Tien Type
Description: Emphasizes close-range ki blasts and Ultimate Blasts.

Name: Majin Buu Type
Description: Emphasizes barrage attacks and combos.

Name: Broly Type
Description: Emphasizes doggedly pursuing and attacking the opponent.

Name: Recoome Type
Description: Emphasizes getting in close to use Throw attacks.

==Defense-Oriented Types==
Name: Piccolo Type
Description: Concentrates on putting up a consistent defense and exploiting opponent’s openings.

Name: Chiaotzu Type
Description: Makes irregular movements and uses many Blast 1's.

Name: Yajirobe Type
Description: Fights by evading the opponent, using Ki, and refilling Blast Gauges.

Name: Ginyu Type
Description: Emphasizes using Blast 1's and other techniques to boost strength.

===Red Potaras===
As mentioned at the very beginning, these Z-Items can only be accessed by hacking the game,
or using Red Potara Passwords in Data Center, once again made by people who hacked the game.

The reason why they cannot be accessed normally is because they were meant to be used
outside of Duel Mode and whatnot, and that they were a means of debugging certain effects.

For example, every Kamehameha in the game has a parameter assigned to it, which reduces
its damage to almost nothing if it checks that the opponent has Fierce God equipped.

Because they're not the main point of this guide, I've chosen to cover them in this Google Doc:
