Does The Masked Rider List Include Spin-Offs And Crossovers?

Here's my nerdy long take, because this question opens up one of my favorite rabbit holes.

If you're talking about lists for the 'Kamen Rider' franchise (and I assume 'Masked Rider' as a reference to that world, plus the odd Saban adaptation), the short practical rule is: it depends on who made the list and what their scope is. Official studio lists usually put the mainline TV series front and center, then list theatrical films and recurring crossover events separately. Fan wikis and collector's databases tend to be more generous: they include TV series, V-Cinema releases (those straight-to-video spin-offs), web-exclusive shows like 'Kamen Rider Amazons' or 'Kamen Rider Build New World', special one-off V-Cinema side-stories, plus reboots and reimagined films like 'Kamen Rider The First'. Crossovers — the chaotic, joyful team-ups like the 'Movie War' pieces or the 'Heisei Generations' trilogies and those wild crossovers with 'Super Sentai' and the Space Sheriffs — often get their own category because continuity is messy.

From a continuity and collector perspective, I always separate things into clear tags: TV (mainline), movie (theatrical), V-Cinema/web special, spin-off series, and crossover event. That helps when a movie is canon to the TV timeline versus when it’s an alternate-timeline funfest. For example, 'Kamen Rider Decade' and 'Kamen Rider Zi-O' are intentionally crossover-heavy and show up in both franchise chronology and crossover compilations. The American 'Masked Rider' (Saban’s 1995 series) is usually handled as a separate entry because it repurposed footage and changed character elements — interesting historically, but not the same continuity as Toei’s Japanese productions.

So yes: comprehensive "masked rider" lists can and often do include spin-offs and crossovers, but you should watch how they’re organized. If you care about canon, check tags and notes; if you just want to binge everything with Riders appearing, pick a list that lumps everything together. Personally, I love when lists are verbose — give me release format, canon notes, and the year — because it makes rewatching or collecting way more satisfying. Now I’m itching to pull out my DVDs and rewatch a Movie War marathon.

I keep my lists pretty pragmatic and bite-sized, so my take is simple: spin-offs and crossovers are included — but usually in separate sections. When I build a tracker for "Rider stuff" I put main TV seasons first, then a block for theatrical films, another for V-Cinemas/web specials/spin-offs, and a final one for crossovers and team-up movies. That way, if I want a straight timeline I stick to the TV + canon films; if I'm in the mood for ridiculous team-ups, I jump to the crossover section.

Also worth noting: the American 'Masked Rider' tends to get its own entry because it’s an adaptation, not a direct continuation. Fan wikis are the most exhaustive if you want everything, while official pages are cleaner but sometimes leave out oddball web specials. If you’re compiling your own list, a simple tag like TV/Film/V-Cinema/Web/Crossover + a note about continuity saves so much confusion — trust me, I learned that after several interrupted binges.
