"Makafushigi Adventure!" (Japanese: 魔訶不思議アドベンチャー! Hepburn: Makafushigi Adobenchā!?, "Mystical Adventure!") is the opening theme song of the Dragon Ball anime series and is the 1st single by singer Hiroki Takahashi. Originally released on vinyl and cassette on March 1, 1986, it was re-released on 8 cm cd on March 21, 1998. It is coupled with the Dragon Ball closing theme "Romantic Ageru yo" (ロマンティックあげるよ Romantikku Ageru yo) performed by Ushio Hashimoto.

Harmony Gold created their own version of the song for their short-lived English dub of Dragon Ball using completely original lyrics and a different rhythm. Funimation Entertainment also recorded its opening and closing themes sung in English for their dub. "Mystical Adventure!" was sung by Jimi Tunnell and "Romantic Ageru yo" by Daphne Gere, though the lyrics were not a literal translation of the original Japanese.

All music composed by Takeshi Ike, and all tracks arranged by Kohei Tanaka.

In 1998, the group Animetal recorded a heavy metal cover of "Makafushigi Adventure!" for their album This is Japanimetal Marathon. The Animetal tribute band Animetal USA covered the song in English on their 2011 self-titled debut album.
