Despite popular opinion that Akira Toriyama designed Full Armor Mecha Frieza, there is actually very little evidence that this is true. This updated design includes a large rocket-launcher on his right shoulder, packs of explosives on his belt, and razor explosives down the length of his tail. This new version of Mecha Frieza was advertised as an 'all-new character' and was referred to as Full Armor Mecha Frieza in promotional material. For example, Goku's gi is not the saturated orange seen in the TV series images on the main menu are significant colored images from the manga loading screens mirror the original Japanese tankobōn cover art sound effects are written out during battle when an excessively hard hit connects etc.Ī new form for Mecha Frieza was created for the home release of the game. Color schemes, art styles, and even loading screens are all nods to the original Japanese tankobōn run of the series. The game's theme throughout its presentation is that of the Dragon Ball manga.
