Dragon Ball Z: Kyōshū! Saiyan

is a role playing video game and the first Dragon Ball Z console game. It was released only in Japan by Bandai on October 27, 1990, for the . There was a limited edition gold cartridge of the game released. Kyōshū! Saiyan is also one of the games included in the game compilation J Legend Retsuden for Nintendo 3DS.
==Overview==
Starting at the Saiyan Saga and ending with the battle against Great Ape Vegeta, the game also features Brocco and Pumpkin (two illusion Saiyans who fight Yamcha and Tien Shinhan in anime-filler), and characters from the movie Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone. In this game, unlike the timeline check in which the movie whould take place, the events of the first DBZ movie take place after the battle with Raditz and not before it. Also, it seems Garlic Jr. does not get immortality, as the Dragon Balls he and his men (Ginger, Nikki, and Sansho) gathered are used by the Dragon Team to revive Goku. This game allows everyone to use cloning in order to train, just like Piccolo does in anime-filler.
The game features a tournament mode, in which a code is required to unlock Chi-Chi as a playable character.
The game's sequels are Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza and Dragon Ball Z III: Ressen Jinzōningen. Kyōshū! Saiyan was "combined" with Gekishin Freeza in 1992 to form the Super Nintendo game Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu.

==Trivia==
*This is the first Dragon Ball game to feature movie characters, as it features Garlic Jr. and his men.
*Despite the game having power levels, they seem different to some characters, for example Garlic Jr. is somehow now stronger than Raditz (despite the fact that Goku's and Piccolo's combined power easily overpowered Garlic Jr., while they were no match for Raditz's power) and Ginger, Nikki and Sansho rival Raditz in power.
