Menu
The main menus feature Goku behind a turtle (亀 kame) symbol and the background music (BGM) track A-1, an instrumental arrangement of "Mystical Adventure" over the song's karaoke track. A-1 is track #01 on Disc 5 of the Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z Daizenshuu CD set. The vocal substitution parts on A-1 were probably arranged by Shunsuke Kikuchi and recorded in his studios along with all the other BGM listed below.
The Episodes menus feature Colonel Violet behind the turtle symbol and the unreleased BGM numbered K-306 in the Kanzenshuu catalogue.
The Language menus feature Commander Red behind the turtle symbol and the unreleased BGM tracks numbered K-307, K-308, and K-309.
The Extras menus feature Upa behind the turtle symbol and the unreleased BGM numbered K-310.
The Trailers menus both feature Tao Pai-Pai behind the turtle symbol; neither of these menus have any music.

Character Profiles
Character profiles are included on both discs; presented exactly as they were written.
Taught martial arts by his adoptive grandfather Gohan, who raised him out in the wilderness, Goku is very strong, agile, and fearless. He'll take on any fight no matter what the odds are if he thinks that someone has been wronged.
An ancient and wise master of martial arts, Master Roshi has accumulated great power and wisdom. He is very old and hermitlike. Although he may appear quirky, frail and harmless, Master Roshi is indeed a great warrior. He is master of the "Kamehameha" a tremendous attack.
Bulma is one independent and determined teen. She'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants and won't let anything stand in her way - not mountains, monsters, or pride. Bulma is also a mixed up teen with a quirk that won't allow her to shut-up. She's a mechanical genius who can operate and fix anything.
Brother of Master Shen, Tao is a widely known mercenary working for the Red Ribbon Army and charged with the task of locating Dragon Balls. But his mission soon causes him to cross paths with Goku, who the undefeated Mercenary Tao considers merely a small road block.
The diminutive leader of the Red Ribbon Army has big plans for world domination. But Commander Red has his own private wish, to wish himself taller! Commander Red will do whatever it takes to seek out the Dragon Balls and will use as many of his army as necessary to accomplish his master plan. But what will his loyal soldiers think when his selfish desire is revealed?
Perhaps more than any of Red Ribbon Army's commissioned officers, Violet seems to be more interested in a big payoff instead of what's best for the organization. Violet successfully tacks down a Dragon Ball and returns it to Commander Red. She demands, and gets a substantial reward.
Bora lives harmoniously with nature at the base of Korin's Tower. He believes that each person should respect everyone and everything and does his best to raise his only son to foster these ideals. When the Red Ribbon Army shows up, Bora prepares to fight to the end to defend what he holds dear.
The only son of Bora, Upa lives with his father at the base of Korin's Tower. Upa believes that the responsibility of defending the tower and the land surrounding it will one day fall to him. But the Red Ribbon Army realizes that the young boy just might be the key to laying their hands on a Dragon Ball.
The mysterious Korin is the lone resident of the tower that bears his name. Legend says that atop Korin's Tower rests the Sacred Water, a mystical substance that enhances the strength of anyone who drinks it. But Korin does not give up his prize easily. His mind games are enough to thwart the most fervent pursuers.
