Dragon Ball: Final Bout (Chinese: 七龍珠超武鬥會完結篇) is a bootleg port of the Sony PlayStation game Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout that was originally developed for the Sega Mega Drive by an unknown developer and released in 1998. A port for the SNES would also be made going by the name Dragon Ball Z: Final Bout.
In both the Mega Drive and SNES versions, the logo and several of the splash screens are taken from the original PlayStation game and the sprites are ripped from Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden. In the Mega Drive version, the voices are taken from Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension, while the SNES version exclusively uses sound effects and music from the official SNES port of Street Fighter II. Both the SNES and Mega Drive versions feature 8 playable characters.
Like most unlicensed dual-platform releases for the Sega Mega Drive and SNES, the Mega Drive version is widely available in both its original printing and several pirate reissues, while the SNES version was distributed exclusively in South America. A Game Boy Color game loosely based on the Mega Drive and SNES games would be released in Taiwan under the Chinese name Wukong Waizhuan - Wudou Pian (悟空外傳 武鬥篇).

Trivia[]
- The main menu song has one of the soundtracks from Aladdin II, which is slightly sped up in the Sega Mega Drive version.
- The intro theme, which is based on the Goten vs. Trunks theme in Super Butoden 3, was later included in the Mega Drive version of Pocket Monster. It's unknown if both games were developed by the same company or not.
- By corrupting/hacking the game, you can find a song that wasn't featured on it, likely because it was poorly arranged.
- The SNES intro has light blue to the background during the first scene with Goku and Vegeta and again with Kid Goku, the Sega Genesis one just has white.
- The endings on both the SNES and Mega Drive versions are different.
- Goku's sprite in the Mega Drive/SNES version of this game would be used in Top Fighter 2000 MK VIII for the Mega Drive.
- On the SNES, Cell has a laugh sound during the intro, which is not present in the Sega Mega Drive version.
- Shenron on the character select screen glows red/orange in the SNES version, but not in the Sega Mega Drive version.
- The SNES version has music from the SNES port of Street Fighter II - The World Warrior, which is pitched down and off-key. The title screen has the music of the title screen of Street Fighter II, the intro has Ryu's theme, Gohan and Piccolo's stages have Ken's theme, Trunks (or Tolanks as he is called in this version) and Goku have E. Honda's theme, Vegeta (or Bethida) and Cell (or Zeru) have Guile's theme, and Buu (or Buwu) and S. Goku have Blanka's theme.
