After taking some time off from school to train for the Budoukai, Gohan joined all the others went to the island where the tournament would be held. At arrival every one meets up with Piccolo and Goku, who was granted one day back alive (he died fighting Cell) to fight in the tournament. Piccolo lets every one know that Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu wouldn't be joining them. That's also the case for Yamcha. The elimination rounds have been done away with and replaced with a punching machine. As the reigning champion, Mr. Satan automatically qualifies and goes first on the punching machine to set a score.
In the previous (24th) Tenkaichi Budoukai there was also a change regarding children: they now have their own division (unlike Tenkaichi Budoukai #21 to #23 in which Goku competed as a child against all sorts of opponents). Goten and Trunks get upset because they are forced to fight in the juniors division.
Unlike some of the previous tournament a punching machine was used to decide who goes on to fight. The people with the top scores move on (of course all the z-fighters (excluding Vegeta) hit the machine softly so they didn't break it.

Junior Division:
The junior division starts. Goten and Trunks beat two brothers called Idasa and Ikose with ease, and start fighting it out in the finals and impress everyone with their ability to transform into super
Saiyans (although those were mistakes; the Saiyans had agreed
not to use super Saiyan transformations in the tournament). Trunks eventually wins by knocking Goten out of the ring.
Bonus: Trunks vs. Mr. Satan:
After a typical Mr. Satan Show-introduction, Satan tries to convince Trunks to let him (trunks) win because it was clear he didn't stand a chance against him. After Trunks refuses, he fakes a leg injury, but miraculously gets well when people start calling for a doctor. After this little pause he gets he idea to let Trunks win in a manner that would look like he did it on purpose. To achieve this he says to Trunks that it's custom to give the opponent a light tap on the face before the match. After this talk the match begins and Mr. Satan gives Trunks a 'free first hit'. Trunks hits him and by doing so sends him flying into the wall. Despite a lot of pain, Mr. Satan manages to get up and tell the crowd that Trunks had beaten him. Of course, everybody thinks that Satan let Trunks win.
Gohan meanwhile tries desperately to keep Videl from finding out that her dad is a weakling. While everybody is eating Goten and Trunks sneak off and find this guy called Mighty Mask. He was one of the finalists who were going to fight in the tournament. His costume was a big mask with a cape. They decide to knock him out and steal his uniform so they could fight in the adult tournament. After a little getting used to Goten and Trunks get their act together and figure out how to work together so the could look like one person under the Mighty Mask suit.
Quarter-Finals:
1st Fight - Krillin vs. Punta:
Before the match starts, Punta tell Krillin that he's not only big, but also very strong. Krillin, of course, isn't much impressed with him. The match starts and Krillin, after hitting Punta several times, kick his opponent out of the arena. Krillin wins.
2nd Fight - (Kaio)Shin vs. Ma Junior:
Ma Junior (Piccolo's alias) finds out that the guy he's supposed to fight (Shin) is in fact the Supreme Kai. (Note: the Kaioshin are seen as the highest gods in the
Dragonball universe, and thus superior to the Kai and Kami). He's very nervous when the match starts, and when Shin reads his thoughts, it is the reason for Piccolo to forfeit the match before it begins.
3rd Fight - Videl vs. Spopovich:
The tournament finally really starts with Videl and Spopovitch. Videl seems to do well at first, but after a while everyone realizes that Spopovitch is unusually strong. (note: In the 24th tournament Mr. Satan defeated him in the first round). Videl leads an all out attack on Spopovitch and kicks him in the head and turns his head completely around. Videl is about to be disqualified because she killed Spopovitch, but as she is getting ready to leave the ring Spopovitch gets up and turns his head around. Videl, still very confused by what's going on, gets hit and
almost falls out of the ring, but manages to fly before hitting the ground (Mr. Satan gets the shock of his life seeing his daughter fly). The counter-attack of
Spopovitch is brutal. Videl gets severely beaten and tries to get a break by flying up in the air. To everybody's surprise
Spopovitch flies after her and with an energy-blast sends her back to the arena floor. She's then knocked unconscious and
thrown out of the ring, purely because Spopovitch partner Yamu tells him that she's not his real target. The match ends and Gohan carries Videl off to be healed.
4th Fight - Kibito vs. Great Saiyaman (Interupted):
Before the match begins, Gohan's secret identity as the Great Saiyaman is revealed by his friends, and he ends the
masquerade. Kibito, an unknown fighter who is partners with
Shin, request a surprised Gohan to transform into a super
Saiyan. At the same time the other Z warriors learn that Shin and Kibito are
Kaioshin. The crowd goes wild when Gohan transforms into a super
Saiyan, and after that a super
Saiyan 2, releasing enormous energy discharges. Kibito is overwhelmed by the energy-level. At this moment
Spopovitch and Yamu storm in and manage to steal Gohan's energy and leave.
After Kibito restores Gohan's energy, Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Supreme Kai, Kibito and Gohan decide to follow Spopovitch and Yamu in order to find out what their plans are. Vegeta, who was really looking forward to his match against Goku, decides to come along too, so they could start their fight sooner.
The next matches do not take place:
5th Fight - Son Goku vs. Vegeta (both leave)
6th Fight - Mr. Satan vs. Android #18
7th Fight - Jewel vs. Yamu (Yamu leaves)
8th Fight - Mighty Mask vs. Killer
With half of the contestants leaving the tournament, panic seems to be a good option for the Tournament Announcer. But just when he wants to call off the tournament, Mr. Satan comes up with the idea of a 'Battle Royale': the remaining five contestants all fight at the same time, and whoever wins the match, wins the tournament.
Battle Royale:
Direct after the battle begins, Jewel gets kicked out of the ring by #18, and Killer by Mighty Mask. Mr. Satan realizes that both the other contestants could easily defeat him, and he gets scared. He expects that they go after him, the world champion, but Mighty Mask and #18 take little notice of him and start fighting
each other.
The fight takes to the air and Might Mask has trouble moving and is hit back to the ring floor. they continue fighting but after a while #18 starts to notice what's going on when she sees Mighty Mask in a bright light like is the case in a super Saiyan transformation. She realizes that it's really Trunks and Goten. Those two attack with a huge energy blast that just misses her and creates a huge explosion. Android #18 decides that a further battle would be too risky and throws an energy disk at Mighty Mask, destroying the costume by cutting it in half. Trunks and Goten's secret is out and Mighty Mask gets disqualified.
Mr. Satan now thinks he's going to die, and makes his testament. #18 grabs hold of the scared Satan and offers him the championship for 20 million Zeni (twice the prize money). It would preserve his reputation, and she would get to earn more money. After thinking it over, Mr. Satan agrees and #18 throws herself at the floor, so it would seem Satan had freed himself. Now certain of winning, Satan fires up the crowd by telling them he now is going to finish the match! He runs towards #18 and hits her with his "Satan-wonder-extra-ultra-super-megaton-punch" in the face. #18 then asks him if that's the best he can do, and Mr. Satan confirms this *g*. With a 5 second delay, #18 flies out of the ring, and Satan than explains to the audience that it's because of a special technique. Satan is declared the winner and is celebrated by the audience.
