| Godzilla: Monster of Monsters |
| In the first Godzilla video game on any nintendo system, you control Godzilla and Mothra battling several other toho kaiju who are under the control of alien invaders. Each level is turn-based and made up of hexes, each of which contains a breif side-scrolling stage in which your monster battles planes, tanks, other military weapons and occassionally small aliens. These enemies are pitifully weak, but may weaken you before you face the main enemy monster. Battles are timed, and you will have to battle the other kaiju multiple times to wear down their health and finally defeat them. |
| Godzilla: He needs no introduction. He's the star of the game and can punch, whip with his tail or fire his mighty atomic breath. |
| Mothra: I'm a slightly bigger fan of mothra than Godzilla, and the big bug is actually a lot better in this game than godzilla... at least during the stages. Mothra's main weapon is a long distance attack rather than just a punch, and it can fly over most enemies. Godzilla's beam attack is considerably stronger than Mothra's "dust" attack (in which it rapidly drops moth wings on its enemy) but can't be used as often. |
| -Enemy Kaiju- |
| Gezora: The giant squid from "Yog" makes an appearance here as the game's first boss. It is one of the few bosses that can jump, and attacks with its tentacle. |
| Moguera: Another refugee from a non-godzilla flick, the Mysterian's giant robot fires beams in multiple directions. Moguera is not to be confused with the nearly identical M.o.g.u.e.r.a, which is built by humans in Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla. |
| Mechagodzilla: Godzilla's evil robotic twin! He just shoots rays and jumps. |
| Baragon: The burrowing, bunny-eared dinosaur doesn't get many roles in the toho monster universe. He just raises on his hind legs to shoot a ray at you. |
| Varan: What's with all these second-rate kaiju? Varan got his own movie, but he's generally considered forgettable and as far as many are concerned, forgotten. Still, he's better than Gorosaurus. (I'm kidding, Gorosaurus fan, yes, both of you. I love ALL monsters to an extent.) |
| Gigan: Finally, a monster people recognize! The badassed bird/mantis/metal dinosaur gigan comes at you with those vicious sickles and that giant organic chainsaw in his chest and ohhh is he a meanie!!! |
| Hedorah: I played this game when it was new, and never knew till just today (at the time of this writing) that it included my all-time favorite giant monster! Hedorah attacks you with his sloppy arms and flings dozens of little grey globs at you! |
| King Ghidorah: A.K.A. Monster Zero. The three headed gold space dragon was always considered Godzilla's arch rival, but only posed a threat to his earliest appearances. Since then he's been so outclassed by other monsters that by the time an SNES Godzilla game came around, Monster Zero was always used as the first weakly boss. In this, though, he's the ultimate evil, the most powerful and difficult monster in the game. We'll always remember your brief moment of NES glory, Ghidorah!!! |
| Giant brain pod alien thingamajigs: I can't remember if you fight these all through the game or just in the first level, but I found them kind of neat. They're like mini-bosses. They can't move, but they can create little brains with feet (ain't they cute?) that fly around shooting you. When you've damaged the big brain enough it'll fire balls of energy in all directions until you finally kill it. |
