English (Funimation)

Find the Dragon Balls! Look out for them all!
You can search around the world with me.
Gotta heed the call of magic Dragon Balls!
What a great adventure this will be.
You can climb on board, 'cause the Nimbus doesn't wait!
A fantastic journey for your dreams — a thrilling mystery!

Through the fires of time, they've waited patiently.
When all seven balls you find, the Dragon is set free.
Rising, rising, mesmerizing, unbridled ecstasy.
Radiant and shining, hidden somewhere in the field,
Luminous and blinding, with your desire revealed.
Ageless, timeless, what you'll find is beyond belief!

Let's try, try, try, look high and low!
Search the sky and the sea below!
Let's try, try, try, seize the day,
And make new friends along the way!

Find the Dragon Balls! Look out for them all!
Come and hunt those Dragon Balls with me.
Gotta heed the call of magic Dragon Balls!
What a great adventure this will be.
Set a course for action, adventure doesn't wait!
A fantastic journey for your dreams — a thrilling mystery!

English (Harmony Gold)

Get that Dragon Ball! Get that Dragon Ball!
But don't you know to make a wish, you must possess them all?
Seven magic balls! Hear the Dragon call!
And feel the mighty magic of those sacred Balls.
And then, one wish is yours
As any wish at all!

Danger! Daring!
Deadly! Dragon!
Zero is our Hero!
Dragon Ball! (What'd you say?) He comes from far away!
Dragon Ball! (What'd you say?) He's here to save the day!
Dragon Ball! Dragon Ball! Dragon Ball! Dragon Ball!

Get that Dragon Ball! Gotta have them all!
Bad guys, lurking everywhere!
Get that Dragon Ball! Gotta have them all!
Wise guys! They don't know at all!
Watch as the villain falls
In the bravest quest of all! Dragon Ball!

Brazilian version

TV Version

Vamos conquistar as esferas do dragão,
Levar pra luta a garra de um vencedor.
Correr e pegar as esferas do dragão,
São tantas maravilhas pra descobrir.
A fantástica aventura começou,
Neste mundo de emoção que você chegou.

E quem procura com força e energia,
Realizar sonhos e fantasias,
Em algum lugar da terra logo vai brilhar.
Vamos amigos é hora de lutar,
E feras terríveis vamos derrotar,
Com a nuvem voadora vou me aproximar.
Desafios pra superar,
A liberdade dá pra alcançar,
E vencer a guerra contra o mal,
Que vai me perseguir até o final.

Vamos conquistar as esferas do dragão,
Um ideal que sempre vai nos unir.
Correr e pegar as esferas do dragão,
Lá dentro tem tesouro pra descobrir.
A fantástica aventura vai começar,
Neste mundo, chance igual nunca mais terá.

Alternate version

Vamos desvendar as esferas do dragão,
Esse é o maior mistério que já vi.
Vamos decifrar as esferas do dragão,
O monstro desconhecido que mora ali.
Vamos lá buscar as esferas do dragão,
Uma viagem no rastro do sol.
Vamos revelar as esferas do dragão,
É força pra lutar é Dragon Ball.
Tentando conquistar o azul do céu,
Trazendo na mente um sonho de caçador.
E uma grande armadilha preparar,
Numa nuvem dourada navegar.
Viver o fantástico, uma aventura,
Indo de encontro ao dragão.
Confiante nos desejos de vitória,
Certo de que nada foi em vão.
Confiante nos desejos de vitória,
certo de que nada foi em vão.

Vamos desvendar as esferas do dragão,
Esse é o maior mistério que já vi.
Vamos decifrar as esferas do dragão,
O monstro desconhecido mora ali.
Vamos lá buscar as esferas do dragão,
Uma viagem no rastro do sol.
Vamos revelar as esferas do dragão,
É força pra lutar, é Dragon Ball.

Trivia

• In 2012, Makafushigi Adventure! was parodied in a Japanese commercial for Toyota's Sienta model. The commercial features a family goofing off at an aquarium, while the female TV personality Shōko Haida sings the brief parody in the background.
