Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II is an action RPG developed by Webfoot Technologies and published by Atari for the Game Boy Advance. It is based on the anime Dragon Ball Z and is the sequel to Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku. It is also the first and only one of the Legacy of Goku series to be released in Japan.

The game starts in the timeline of Future Trunks, drawing elements from the TV special The History of Trunks. Afterwards, it begins in the present and allows the player to assume the role of young Gohan. Drawing further into the storyline, more playable characters appear as well as more abilities up until the final battle with Cell. The game uses environments, enemies, attacks, and music directly from the anime itself (though the music is from the English dub). The game mostly follows events of the Android and Cell sagas.
The gameplay shows some similarities to the original Legacy of Goku video game. Players still move around in a large 2D environment, interacting with objects and characters with the single push of a button. Players can select from a variety of attacks to use on enemies, which can either be melee or energy. However, there are also RPG-style stats which can be modified if players level up or if use different capsules which can be found throughout the game.
After players have completed several events in the storylines, some characters have the ability to transform. By transforming, stats quickly go up temporarily, and some attacks are unlockable to be able to perform. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks undergo a Super Saiyan transformation when prompted and Piccolo simply takes off his weighted clothing (A large speed boost rather than a power up.) Unlike the previous game, players now have the ability to perform various 'side quests' and therefore can complete various tasks and fight some beings from the non-canon world of Dragon Ball Z. (Such as Freeza's brother Cooler.)
