Super Godzilla
From Wikizilla
Super Godzilla is a video game for the Super Nintendo released in 1993 by Toho.
Unlike other games of the era, Super Godzilla is not a straight action game. Instead, the player must guide the famed monster into the different levels by pressing the adequate button in the appropriate place. The game is split in two screens: the top one shows the actions Godzilla is making at the moment, while the bottom one shows his location on the current level. When Godzilla finds a monster to battle, the game switchs into a standard side-view fighting segment. This game is known by having Bagan, a monster that was to have a chance to fight Godzilla in one of his movies, but was never seen again after this.

Playable Characters
Defender of Japan, the monster that once destroyed civilization became humanity's only hope for survival. In his quest to rid the Earth of its aggressors, Godzilla was aided by a small band of humans that controlled the King of the Monsters as he faced the horrors beyond a thousand stars.
- Super Godzilla
After King Ghidorah was resurrected as Mecha-King Ghidorah, the human characters determined that Godzilla must increase in power, and so Godzilla had to seek out the 3 capsules of Super S energy, only then would the reptilian creature transform into the godly stature of Super Godzilla. After defeating Mecha-King Ghidorah, Bagan, the ultimate enemy monster of the game appeared and Godzilla again changed into Super Godzilla in order to combat him.
Enemies
King Ghidorah
The boss of the first stage. King Ghidorah attacks by either firing one, two, or three of his gravity bolts. The more he uses the more damage the attack does. Being the first boss of the game, King Ghidorah is viewed the easiest.
Mechagodzilla
The boss of the second stage. In the American version, Mechagodzilla 1 (initially disguised as a fake Godzilla that only takes on hit to defeat) is fought, while the Japanese version Mechagodzilla 2 is fought. Both versions are mostly the same, the only difference being that Mechagodzilla 2 uses a mouth laser instead of finger missiles (its laser does more damage), and has attack of firing rockets form its shoulders, and Mechagodzilla 1's triple slam attack does sightly more damage then Mechagodzilla 2's. Both versions have an eye-beam attack and have a force field attack that will block Godzilla's standard fire breath attack, which will be followed by a mouth cannon attack. Even though it's only the second boss battle, it's viewed as an extremely hard battle
Biollante
The boss of the the third stage. Initially has vines that will keep Godzilla from attacking it. Biollante attacks with its vine tentacles, a spray of acid (it's most damaging attack), and will not be damaged by Godzilla's body slam and using it will cause to counter with one of its own, which does less damage then the acid spray but more then the vine attack.
Battra
The boss of the fourth stage. Battra can only be hit by Godzilla's more powerful fire breath attack. It will either attack by ramming Godzilla or by firing its eye beams (the dive bomb does more damage). After it's killed, another one will appear in an undeveloped state in the stage. If the player is quick enough, they will be able to reach and kill it without a battle. If not, they will have to fight another Battra, which identical to the first one except it has a little less health.
Mecha-King Ghidorah
The boss of the fifth stage. It's essentially a far more powerful and much harder version of King Ghidorah from the first stage, with the same attacks, but they inflict far more damage, and has far more health. Mecha-King Ghidorah was one additional attack it can use, which is tasers, which is it's strongest attack. View as a extremely hard fight if fought fought normally. However, the player has the option of becoming Super Godzilla before the battle, which makes the fight one of the easier ones in the game.
Bagan
The final boss. If the player chose to fight Mecha-King Ghidorah as Super Godzilla, then Godzilla will start of this battle as normal Godzilla. Bagan is generally seen as impossible as normal Godzilla since Godzilla attacks will hardly inflict any damage (and Bagan has the most health of any monster in the game), while Bagan's attacks (in order of weakest to strongest, a claw slash, a barrage of white diamond like stars, and white plasma beam) do more damage then any other monsters. As Super Godzilla, he's still viewed as a hard battle, but beatable battle, since Super Godzilla and Bagan have the same health and their attacks inflict roughly the same damage.
Trivia
- Super Godzilla's physical appearance is the direct inspiration for Space Godzilla, and the space monster's physical form is an almost direct duplication of Super Godzilla's appearance from the game with only minor, mostly cosmetic changes.
