Adventure! Godzilland (冒険！ゴジランド,   Bōken! Gojirando) is a trivia television series created to promote the 1992 and 1993 Godzilla Template:GFilmCs, Godzilla vs. Mothra and Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2.

Summary

Adventure! Godzilland was created to promote the upcoming film Godzilla vs. Mothra. It aired weekly from October 1 to December 24, 1992 on TV Tokyo. The show was designed as a trivia show, featuring clips from the film as well as cast members, including the actresses who portrayed the Cosmos. The show introduced a song about doing gymnastics called "Godzilla So-Fa-Mi-Re-Do" that played during several episodes and was even released on various albums. Each episode lasted about 15 minutes.

In 1993, Toho produced a similar show called Adventure! Godzilland 2 (冒険！ゴジランド２,   Bōken! Gojirando Tsū) to promote Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2. This show aired weekly from October 7 to December 30, and followed a similar format to the previous show. This show was sponsored by Bandai and featured numerous advertisements for their figures for the film. Godzilla, MechaGodzilla, and Baby Godzilla made live-action appearances on the show, along with several cast members. This series also notably introduced animated segments, featuring chibi Template:Kaiju based heavily on their designs from the 1984 Godzilland merchandise line. These animated segments would later be the basis for Gakken's Recommend! Godzilland OVAs.
