Son Goku was originally intended to play as a mix between Marvel vs. It's interesting to note that this was originally a W.I.P by Ironmugen, but later given to CHOUJIN so he could make it into his own unique style. One of the most recognized and balanced Goku characters out there. It can't combo, but has two Specials, both of which act like Hypers. While this version of Goku uses sprites from Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden on the SNES, it plays nothing like said game, instead opting for the limited gameplay found in Tako's other characters. Stated to be '99.99% complete', this Goku is based on his appearance in the first Super Butōden game on the SNES, though with adapted controls.

Numerous iterations of Goku have been created for M.U.G.E.N by various authors, although it could be argued that two most popular versions of the iconic Dragon Ball character are the ones created by CHOUJIN and Balthazar & Cybaster. He gave him the new name of Goku, as a baby, Goku's Saiyan heritage was clear as he was violent and rambunctious but that all changed one day when Goku fell down a mountain and hit his head, giving him amnesia about his Saiyan heritage and has since then strived to become the best and the strongest martial artist alive. Goku was found by an old man named Gohan who became the boy's adoptive grandfather. Goku was originally a Saiyan born under the name Kakarot, the son of Bardock and Gine, and was sent to Planet Earth in a Saiyan pod just moments before his homeworld, Planet Vegeta's destruction and moments before Bardock's last stand against the tyrant Frieza. The character of Goku, as well as the original plot of Dragon Ball, are loosely inspired by the character of Son Wukong from Journey to the West. Goku (known as Son Goku in Japan) is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball franchise, created by the mangaka Akira Toriyama. There are versions of this character available that don't have their own branch articles!
