''Chrono Trigger'' is a console role-playing game which was released on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] on March 11, 1995 in Japan and on August 22, 1995 in North America.

Additionally, three ''Chrono Trigger''-related applications were released the same year for the Super Famicom [[Satellaview]] extension. ''Chrono Trigger'' inspired several sequels and expansion packs or add-ons; the first were three titles released for the [[Satellaview]] in 1995. They included ''Chrono Trigger: Jet Bike Special'', a racing game based on a minigame from the original; ''Chrono Trigger: Character Library'', featuring profiles on characters and monsters from the game; and ''Chrono Trigger: Music Library'', a collection of music from the game's soundtrack. The contents of ''Character Library'' and ''Music Library'' were later included as extras in the PlayStation re-release of ''Chrono Trigger''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rpgplanet.com/chrono/og_index.shtml|title=Other Games and Anime|last=Whiteman|first=Daniel|publisher=GameSpy|accessdate=2009-06-04}}</ref>

=== Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar ===
{{nihongo|''Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar''|時空冒険ヌウマモンジャ～|Jikū Bōken Nūmamonjā|extra=lit. "Time and Space Adventures: Numa Monjar"}} is a 16-minute humoristic and promotional ''Chrono Trigger'' anime which was broadcast at the Japanese V-Jump Festival of July 31, 1996. It was created by Production I.G, and written by Hiroshi Izawa and Akihiro Kikuchi, while Itsuro Kawazaki served as director, Tensai Okamura as animation director, and Riho Nishino as character designer.<ref>{{cite web |title=時空冒険ぬうまもんじゃ～ |url=http://www.production-ig.co.jp/contents/works_sp/0330_/index.html |author=Production I.G staff |publisher=Production I.G |language=Japanese |accessdate=2007-05-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar |url=http://www.production-ig.com/contents/works/07_/000133.html|publisher=Production I.G |accessdate=2007-05-20}}</ref>
 
The anime takes place in the same setting as ''Chrono Trigger'' during the night before the beginning of the game's events. It follows two monsters from the game, a Nu and a Mamo (called Kilwala in the English version of the game), voiced by Chafūrin and Mayumi Tanaka respectively, through various adventures. These all take place in the "Millennial Fair", the festival at the beginning of ''Chrono Trigger'', which in the anime has been infested by a festive gathering of monsters coming through portals. They meet several characters from the game, including Johnny and Gonzalez (called Gato in the English version of the game). The anime ends with a scene from the following morning after the monsters have all left, in which Crono and Lucca can be seen. The credits show Nu and Mamo parodying scenes from the game.<ref>''Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar''. Production I.G. July 31, 1996.</ref>
