Dragon Ball Z: Atsumare! Gokū Wārudo
From Dragon Ball Encyclopedia, the ''Dragon Ball'' wiki
Dragon Ball Z: Atsumare! Gokū Wārudo (あつまれ! 悟空 ワールド, Doragon Bōru Zetto Atsumare! Gokū Wārudo; Literally meaning "Dragon Ball Z: Gather! Goku World") was released for the Terebikko in 1992 only in Japan. Like the anime, Toei Animation was responsible for its footage and each voice actor reprised the role of their characters for its sequences.
Gameplay
As a Terebikko title, Dragon Ball Z: Atsumare! Gokū Wārudo was packaged as a VHS tape and a telephone peripheral used to input commands to Goku and friends, and also to answer the group's trivia questions when requested.
Plot
Atsumare! Gokū Wārudo tells a feature-length story involving time travel leading up to the group's first encounter with Cell (portrayed differently than in the mainstream series). The plot of the animation seems as though it could be worked into the mainstream series, particularly some time just prior to the beginning of the Imperfect Cell Saga, as the group is not pre-occupied with Cell here until a news report of one of his massacres as Imperfect Cell airs at Muten Roshi's house. However, the leading inconsistency stems from how suddenly Cell absorbs Artificial Human No. 17 and Artificial Human No. 18 (as in Atsumare! Gokū Wārudo, the Z Warriors are not taking any measures to impede his progression to perfection), and how once the group encounters Perfect Cell, a heavy punch to the face by Goku is enough to cause Cell to flee in order to recover from the blow. In the mainstream series, this type of reaction from Perfect Cell would be ridiculous given his battle power.
