A Super Saiyan is a Saiyan that has gone beyond their limits through training. The Super Saiyan transformations yields a 50x increase in power with each level. Goku is the first to achieve this level. Any saiyan with enough power can transform with sufficient emotional need (usually the pain of loss).
There are 4 different super saiyan levels:
1. Super saiyan
1a., Ascended Super saiyan, achieved by sacrificing a bit a speed for a large power increase, 1b; Ultra Super Saiyan, sacrificing more speed for an even bigger increase in power. Both states requires going beyond normal super saiyan limits.
2. Super Saiyan 2: This state is achieved when a saiyan goes beyond his natural super saiyan limits, and the user is enraged enough to achieve this transformation; usually through the pain of loss.
3. Super Saiyan 3: This state is achieved when a super saiyan 2 has surpassed it's natural limits and a deeper power buried far within is available. Takes a lot of practice to transform quickly. It requires an immense amount of power to sustain, and constantly drains the users energy.
4. Super Saiyan 4: The pinnacle of Saiyan power, this state is achieved when the user is transformed into a Golden Great Ape (A super saiyan who transforms at the full moon) and becomes conscious of his new power. As with all super saiyan transformation, the user's power is increased 50 fold.

Goku and Vegeta are the only full-blooded Saiyans that can transform into Super Saiyans in canon series. Broly is the other, but only in the films.

Get the Super Saiyanmug. A peaceful (but strong) artificial human from the dragonball universe. He hates violence despite being strong. He was created by Dr. Flappe, a former Red Ribbon Army Scientist. He, like all the androids from dragonball has an explosive implanted in himself for emergencies, and to encourage obedience.

Get the Android 8mug. German for 'also'. Can also be used in English as a scoff, "Auch, that's nonsense" or as an expletive "Auch, fuck this", or just auch by itself, which holds the same meaning as fuck or shit or argh.
Ich mag auch Pfannkuchen. (German meaning "I also like pancakes")
Auch, fuck this bollocks
Auch, I lost my keys again!

Get the auchmug. The Red Ribbon Army is an army in the dragonball series, dedicated to finding the dragonballs and taking over the world. Initially, it is assumed that the red ribbon army's commander, commander red, was going to use the dragonballs to take over the world, however he has his own selfish ambitions and wants to be tall as a mountain, to overcome his short size. His subordinate Colonel Black, after hearing this, turns on the commander and shoots him in the head.
Dr. Gero worked behind the scenes after the army's defeat, and created Android 17, Android 18, and Cell, for the purpose of taking revenge.
The Red Ribbon Army is annihilated by Goku while searching for the dragonballs to revive Upa's father, Bora.

Get the Vegitomug. Kamehameha translated literally from phonetic Japanese to English means "Turtle Destruction Wave".
Kame (turtle) Hameha (destruction wave/blast)
This attack was created by Master Roshi during his material arts training. The Kamehameha wave sacrifices attack preparedness and speed in order to cause massive damage.
Variations:
Instant Kamehameha: Seen only once in the Cell Games Saga, while Goku is fighting Complete Cell, he is losing energy rapidly and pushes his remaining energy into one wave, at first it seems like he is going to destroy the planet and take Cell with him, however at the last minute he uses Instant Transmission (the technique of forming your physical body into mass a light and traveling to a location of somebody's Ki to teleport directly in front of cell, thus canceling out Kamehameha's low rate of speed, and the time it takes to build up the attack
Big Bang Kamehameha: Gogeta's take on the Kamehameha and the Big Bang Attack, derived from Goku and Vegeta receptively.
In the first season, after Goku gets back from his training with North Kai, he uses the 4x Kaioken technique to increase the power of his wave, at the point where Vegeta tries to destroy the planet using his Galick Gun (a technique similar too, and is presumably as powerful if not moreso than a Kamehameha, this is hinted at because it takes a long time to gather the energy to fire this attack).
