Kamen Rider World (仮面ライダーワールド, Kamen Raidā Wārudo) is the name of a 3-D film based on Kamen Rider Series franchise that was shown in 1994 in amusement parks and special events nationwide in Japan. It was shown as a triple feature alongside Super Sentai World and Toei Hero Daishugō (a crossover between Metal Heroes Tokusou Robo Janperson and Blue SWAT which also used footage from Super Sentai World).
Synopsis[]
Shadow Moon, a foe of Kamen Rider Black and Kamen Rider Black RX and previously defeated by him, is resurrected as a giant. Soon after that, he revives five monsters defeated by various Kamen Riders in the past with Berry witnessing it. As a result, the monsters chase after her and the people that found her. Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J arrive to their aid teamed up to defeat the monsters. After that, Kamen Rider J becomes a giant to fight Shadow Moon, destroying him.
Plot[]
Shadow Moon returns to life and revives five mutants previously defeated by the Kamen Riders to serve as his personal army. He plots to defeat the Kamen Riders with his army in order to conquer the world. Berry witnesses Shadow Moon's plot and is attacked by the mutants. Masato and his sister Ayumi stumble onto an injured Berry by chance and are chased by the revived mutant army as a result.
However, they are saved by the sudden arrival of Kamen Rider ZO on his ZO Bringer motorcycle, who draws the monsters into a nearby abandoned warehouse. ZO is suddenly assisted by Kamen Rider J, who arrives into the warehouse on his J Crosser bike. The five mutants are defeated by the combined forces of the new Double Riders. The two are then challenged by Shadow Moon, who enlarges himself into a giant. J grows into giant size as well and fights off Shadow Moon by himself. Shadow Moon is defeated and peace returns to the day.

- Some monster fight footage from Kamen Rider BLACK RX: Running Around the World was shown as Shadow Moon speaks to the 5 revived monsters.
- This is the last Kamen Rider production shot on film. Starting with Kamen Rider Kuuga for television series and Kamen Rider Agito: Project G4 for the feature films, future productions would be shot on digital video.[1]
- The title Kamen Rider World was later reused as a name for a stage show event in 2018.
- This would be the last crossover film between Riders in the Showa Era, and in the series overall for a long time, until the tradition was restarted with Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax Cop and later on the Movie War series.
Blu-ray Release[]
Kamen Rider World is included on a bonus Blu-ray 3D disc in Kamen Rider: The Movie Blu-ray Box 1972-1988, a Blu-ray compilation boxset of Showa Rider Movies.[2]
