The 2D battle will be automatically activated after several random fights and the Z fighter becomes stronger than the enemy on that area (by default setting). However user still able to configure this system by pressing Start + Select button while in the world map, in order to switch the battle into 3D or 2D.
*The game also includes a Tournament battle mode like its predecessor, however it can only be accessed using the Game Genie code AOSNEYAA, although several bugs and crash issues may be encountered if the player loads any character from the save data.
