'''''Dragon Ball: Dragon Dai-Hikyō''''' is the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise's first console video game. Players directly control [[Son Goku]]... The game is notable for pre-dating Shueisha's longstanding relationship with Bandai, instead releasing with Epoch on the company's Super Cassette Vision console.

The game is notable for pre-dating Shueisha's longstanding relationship with Bandai for home console video game releases (which began later that same year with ''[[Dragon Ball: The Mystery of Shenlong]]''), instead releasing with Epoch on the company's Super Cassette Vision console.
 
==Packaging==
 
''The Great Unexplored Dragon Region'' came packaged in a box containing the game cartridge and a small instruction manual.

The game's box and instruction manual describe the overall story and premise of the game:
 
{{quotation|ある山奥に住む無邪気でやたら強い孫悟空は、ブルマの頼みて謎のトラゴンボールを探す旅にてることになった。悟空かゆく、岩山、草原、海原、都市なと7つのコースには、それそれの球が隠されている。次々と襲いかかる敵を、かめはめ波、如意棒てやっつける! 危機また危機!! そして、7つのトラコンホールか揃ったとき。 ついに神龍があらわれる! 一体何か起こるのか!?<br><hr>[[Son Goku]], an innocent and incredibly strong boy that lives deep in the mountains, departs on a journey to find the mysterious [[Dragon Balls]] on a request by a girl named [[Bulma]]. All seven of them are hidden throughout the seven stages, so he will have to traverse rocky mountains, grassy fields, the deep ocean, and even the bustling city to find them, as well as beat all the enemies coming one after the other, with his [[Kamehameha]] and ''[[Nyoibō]]''! It's just danger after danger!! And when all seven Dragon Balls are collected, [[Shenlong]] will finally appear! What on Earth will happen then?!}}
The game's instruction manual adds additional context:
 
{{quotation|このゲームは主人公悟空が、筋斗雲にのって7つの大秘境を駆けめぐり秘境の奥にある敵要塞から、それぞれのドラゴンボールを探しだすのが目的です。途中、亀仙人がでてきて、修業を受けることができます。修業に合格すると････････････!?<br><hr>The goal of Goku, this game's protagonist, is to ride his ''[[Kinto'un]]'' and venture into the uncharted enemy fortresses located inside seven uncharted regions to locate and retrieve the seven [[Dragon Balls]]. Meanwhile, he will also find and be trained by the [[Turtle Hermit]]. What will happen if the training succeeds...?!}}
==Gameplay==
 
Gameplay takes place in an overhead, vertically-scrolling view with the player having direct control over Goku flying atop ''[[Kinto'un]]'', with two possible attack options: swiping ''[[Nyoibō]]'' (somewhat wildly!) in front (with some minor attack frames to the side-front area), as well as firing a [[Kamehameha]], which takes the form of a small, propelled blast attack.
 
[[File:Dragon-dai-hikyo-goku-nyoibo-animation.gif]]
 
Players start with five energy points (representing the ability to take five hits from enemies) and three overall lives (representing the number of turns available to play).
 
At certain points, the game may switch to a one-on-one side-view battle against the [[Turtle Hermit]], in which a separate amount of 20 hit points are available to the player.

''The Mystery of Shenlong'' is a single-player game with its sole gameplay mode being its main story. In addition to working toward completing the story, players also have a score point tally indicated on screen which increases as the player defeats enemies and acquires items.
''The Great Unexplored Dragon Region'' is a one- or two-player game with its sole gameplay mode being its main story. In two-player mode, each player takes turns following the complete loss of energy. This repeats until both players lose all remaining lives.

Dragon Ball: The Great Unexplored Dragon Region is the Dragon Ball franchise's first console video game. Players directly control Son Goku across seven stages in search of the Dragon Balls in an overhead, vertically-scrolling action/shooter-style game, with the occasional one-on-one side-view battle against the Turtle Hermit.

The game is notable for pre-dating Shueisha's longstanding relationship with Bandai for home console video game releases (which began later that same year with Dragon Ball: The Mystery of Shenlong), instead releasing with Epoch on the company's Super Cassette Vision console.

Packaging

The Great Unexplored Dragon Region came packaged in a box containing the game cartridge and a small instruction manual.

  • Spread of the Epoch Super Cassette Vision console with Dragon Ball: Dragon Dai-Hikyō
    Spread of the Epoch Super Cassette Vision console with Dragon Ball: Dragon Dai-Hikyō

The game's box and instruction manual describe the overall story and premise of the game:

ある山奥に住む無邪気でやたら強い孫悟空は、ブルマの頼みて謎のトラゴンボールを探す旅にてることになった。悟空かゆく、岩山、草原、海原、都市なと7つのコースには、それそれの球が隠されている。次々と襲いかかる敵を、かめはめ波、如意棒てやっつける! 危機また危機!! そして、7つのトラコンホールか揃ったとき。 ついに神龍があらわれる! 一体何か起こるのか!?

Son Goku, an innocent and incredibly strong boy that lives deep in the mountains, departs on a journey to find the mysterious Dragon Balls on a request by a girl named Bulma. All seven of them are hidden throughout the seven stages, so he will have to traverse rocky mountains, grassy fields, the deep ocean, and even the bustling city to find them, as well as beat all the enemies coming one after the other, with his Kamehameha and Nyoibō! It's just danger after danger!! And when all seven Dragon Balls are collected, Shenlong will finally appear! What on Earth will happen then?!

The game's instruction manual adds additional context:

このゲームは主人公悟空が、筋斗雲にのって7つの大秘境を駆けめぐり秘境の奥にある敵要塞から、それぞれのドラゴンボールを探しだすのが目的です。途中、亀仙人がでてきて、修業を受けることができます。修業に合格すると････････････!?

The goal of Goku, this game's protagonist, is to ride his Kinto'un and venture into the uncharted enemy fortresses located inside seven uncharted regions to locate and retrieve the seven Dragon Balls. Meanwhile, he will also find and be trained by the Turtle Hermit. What will happen if the training succeeds...?!

Gameplay

Gameplay takes place in an overhead, vertically-scrolling view with the player having direct control over Goku flying atop Kinto'un, with two possible attack options: swiping Nyoibō (somewhat wildly!) in front (with some minor attack frames to the side-front area), as well as firing a Kamehameha, which takes the form of a small, propelled blast attack.

Players start with five energy points (representing the ability to take five hits from enemies) and three overall lives (representing the number of turns available to play).

At certain points, the game may switch to a one-on-one side-view battle against the Turtle Hermit, in which a separate amount of 20 hit points are available to the player.

Domestic Media Coverage

Dragon Dai-Hikyō receives a small blurb in the 1986 No. 41 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump[2]

Dragon Dai-Hikyō received a small sidebar call-out — within a larger spread that is ostensibly about Dragon Ball: The Mystery of Shenlong, then still in development for the Nintendo Famicom and due out later that year — in the 1986 No. 41 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump.[2] The blurb simply notes the genre and platform, without much additional fanfare:

なんとエポック社のスーパーカセットビジョンでも出るぜ！！
ドラゴンボールはファミコンだけじゃなく、スーパーカセットビジョンでもゲームができるのだ。筋斗雲に乗って、空中戦タイプのシューティングゲームだ！

It's even coming to Epoch's Super Cassette Vision!!
Dragon Ball isn't just for the Famicom; you can play it on the Super Cassette Vision, too! It's an aerial combat shooting game where you ride on Kinto'un!

Legacy

BEEP Magazine Charts

Dragon Dai-Hikyō debuts in the #1 spot in BEEP's Super Cassette Vision listings in the magazine's December 1986 issue[3]

Dragon Dai-Hikyō was notable for regularly topping the Super Cassette Vision's respective "TELEHOBBY GAME TOP CHART" in the Japanese gaming magazine BEEP beginning shortly after its release — it supplanted Dragon Slayer in the top spot starting in the December 1986 issue[3][c], and largely stayed there (or close to it) until the removal of the Super Cassette Vision's listing entirely as of the September 1987 issue.[4][5][d]

Official Citations

Dragon Dai-Hikyō is not typically included in official lists of Dragon Ball video games by Shueisha; for example, it is completely missing from 2016's 30th Anniversary: Dragon Ball Chōshishū –Super History Book–, with no sales data or even the most cursory listing or footnote regarding the game.

Unofficial Port

In 2022, the user Diskover on the NesDev forums[21] (and @RetroNES_Soft on Twitter[22]) posted a short, in-progress "alpha 1.1" port of the game to the Nintendo Famicom using the UNROM mapper, music from Dragon Ball: The Mystery of Shenlong, and a mixture of sprite assets both unique in creation as well as some from the original Super Cassette Vision game.

Notes

  1. ↑ Only seen in the game's ending sequence as panties fall down on Oolong.
  2. ↑ As an active opponent, the Turtle Hermit only appears for training side-missions, which do not otherwise impede the player's progress to take energy away from their main gameplay.
  3. ↑ For lack of a better source right now, we are going with the release date of this December 1986 issue as 08 November 1986 based on this wiki article page on Sega Retro.
  4. ↑ Dragon Dai-Hikyō dropped to the #2 spot (under Pole Position II) in the August 1987 issue, and Super Cassette Vision is gone as of the September 1987 issue.
