Story
- Prologue (In-Game Text)
- Roger Jr. is the second generation of kangaroo that was genetically altered and bred for military use. Roger was the first kangaroo born at the Mishima Zaibatsu biotechnological lab run by Kazuya. Shortly after Roger entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Roger Jr. was born and the family lived in peace. However, one day Roger was taken away from his family. Feeling the recently announced King of Iron Fist Tournament might provide clues to his father's disappearance Roger Jr., tucked away in his mother's pouch, decided to enter the tournament.
- Interludes (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Stage 4, Mokujin: Roger's mother asks Mokujin if it has seen Roger. Mokujin answers saying that it hasn't, although it will help her if she wins. Roger's mother then points out that Mokujin wouldn't be able to help her, since it can't talk. Mokujin then points this out about Roger's mother. The two fight, and Roger Jr. wins. Mokujin tells Roger Jr. that it will not accept defeat. Roger Jr. continues to go anyway, promising to return later.
- Final Stage, Jinpachi Mishima: Roger Jr. walks through Final Stage 2. Jinpachi (in human form) walks up behind him and says, "I'm impressed that you've made it this far. I am Jinpachi Mishima. My goal... My goal is to destroy all existence!" Shortly after Jinpachi starts to speak, Roger Jr. turns around and notices him. After he finishes speaking, Jinpachi transforms into his "Devil" form.
- Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Roger Jr. has successfully infiltrated Doctor Boskonovitch's lab. He sees a picture of himself and Roger playing lying on the ground. Across from that picture is a barred door with the words "No unauthorized entry." Roger Jr. kicks open the door only to find a comfortably decorated room. Roger is shown sitting on the couch watching TV and sipping a drink through a crazy straw. Roger Jr. angrily looks at his father who is now nervous. Infuriated, Roger Jr. punches Roger into the ceiling, and then steps on the picture of him and his father.
Trivia
- After Roger Jr. defeats Mokujin, the words and actions of Roger Jr. and Mokujin are very similar to those of Jin Kazama and Hwoarang after Jin defeats Hwoarang in his (Jin's) Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Story mode.
- Roger Jr.'s sub-boss is Mokujin.
- Roger Jr.'s ending in Tekken 5 / Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection shows Roger watching Ling Xiaoyu's Tekken 3 ending on a television set.
- All of Roger Jr.'s animations that are shown before and after a fight are identical to King's. However, in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Roger Jr. has a new win animation that King doesn't have. This win animation shows Roger Jr.'s mother jumping once, spinning around, and raising both of her arms.
