This is a list of media spawned from the French animated television series Code Lyoko.
Books
Code Lyoko currently has only one book in English, titled Code Lyoko: The Adventure Begins. It covers the episodes "Teddygozilla" and "Plagued". The book is in manga format and uses cells from the two episodes (eight on each page) instead of hand-drawing them. The dialog is also slightly different, with some phrases modified and words added where characters never spoke originally. The names are also slightly different. Finally, the biographies for some of the characters are different from their counterparts in the show. For example, Franz Hopper is listed as a former student of, not a former teacher at, Kadic Academy. Xana is also listed as a virus, even though Franz Hopper said in season two that XANA was a program designed to destroy Project Carthage.
There is also a series of books in French based on various episodes in seasons one and two.
Four new books based on the show are now in development (in Italian, Spanish and French only), with the first one released in early 2010. The books are diary entries made by a much-older Jeremie Belpois, who has married and emigrated to the United States to lead a better life, having a career as one of the world's leading computing experts and working for an international information security company. The books introduce a new Kadic student from the United States named Eva Skinner (who becomes XANA's new servant), and a terrorist organization calling themselves "The Green Phoenix", who seek the power of the supercomputer for their own goals.
DVDs
Currently, Code Lyoko is being released on DVD by FUNimation in sets of 4-5 episodes each, all with digitally remastered picture and sound. Each DVD has subtitle options and special features that vary from DVD to DVD. A common item on each DVD is a map showing the number and location of each tower in each episode and profiles of various characters. Some of the names used are spelled differently, such as Kiwee instead of Kiwi.

It contains the first five episodes: "New Order", "Uncharted Territory", "Exploration", "A Great Day", and "Mister Puck" (bonus). No special features were included, but a preview of the next DVD was given. It will apparently be called "Missing Link", and include the next four or five episodes. It is only listed as "coming soon".
Other
A Season 4 Volume 1 DVD has been released in France, as well as a Season 3 and Season 2 full set DVD. Releases for these DVDs outside of France is as of now unknown.
Garage Kids
Code Lyoko was preceded by a five-minute marketing pilot known as Garage Kids. It is similar in overall plot and premise to Code Lyoko, but features several differences in casting, character design, and location design.
Merchandise
A major merchandising campaign is planned to coincide with the release of the third season. It will consist of clothes, school supplies, the various DVDs, a line of stickers with the "Eye of Xana" in the background, skateboards, and a line of toys including action figures. In July 2007, Carls Jr. had a Kid's meal toy promotion for Code Lyoko.

Music
Theme song
A World Without Danger (Un Monde Sans Danger in French) is the theme song for Code Lyoko, composed by Franck Keller and Ygal Amar. It was released on iTunes on May 9, 2006.
The version used in the show is a shortened version of the actual song (the bridge and chorus). The English version is sung by Noam Kaniel, who also wrote the English lyrics. The French version is sung by Julien Lamassonne.
Other music
There is also a full version of another song in the show, which is first heard in the episode "A Great Day" on the radio. It was on MoonScoop's website for a time, but has since been removed. Versions of it can be found at various fan-sites for the show. This music has sometimes been named "The Subsonics Song" after the group that plays it in the show. The mp3 name for it is Generique Fin which would mean "Ending Theme". When Miguzi showed CL they cut off the ending, but on the original episodes (which can still be seen in marathons and such) Generique Fin can still be heard. This song seems to be a wordless version of "Break Away" and "S'Envoler", a song by the Subdigitals, a band based on the Subsonics from the show.
Subdigitals
A music CD has also been released by the band from the show, the "Subdigitals". The CD contains 12 tracks containing various songs from the series, expanded into full-length tracks. According to a trailer for the CD, it is released by EMI Music France,[1] similar to the EMI Label One release of the theme song on iTunes. The CD has been released in both French and English. The fictional band is actually called the "Subsonics" in the show, but Subdigitals is used to avoid confusion with an existing band known as the Subsonics. Band drummer and nephew of Jim Morales, Chris, claims they were forced to change the band name in Season 4 episode "Opening Act", apparently for the same reason. The band also has another song known as "Planet Net," which is available on various foreign fan sites.
Magazine
A French Code Lyoko magazine is produced by Panini Comics, which is a regular publisher of animation-based comics in France. The magazine focuses on Code Lyoko-related news, and is self-described as a "fun" magazine, including a roughly thirty-page comic, various games, bios on the characters from the show (the first issue features the Subdigitals), and science experiments hosted by Jeremie. Fan websites are also covered.
Video games
Code Lyoko has been adapted into three video games, two are out in stores. The first is available on the Nintendo DS and is based on the first two seasons, with the last level being based on third season. The second, is released on the Wii, it is based on the show's fourth season. The third, for the Nintendo DS, is Code Lyoko: Fall of X.A.N.A., which is similar in plot to the Wii game but uses an RPG-style interface.
iTunes
As of November 29, 2010, the first two three of Code Lyoko have been released on iTunes in the US.
