Super Godzilla

Super Nintendo

1991

In this game for the SNES, the player is put in control of the Earth's mightiest monster. The Japanese military has designed a control device, allowing them to remotely control Godzilla. The device has been completed just in time. Invaders from space have arrived, intent on the conquest of the Earth. Taking control of military forces, the aliens unleash the space monster King Ghidorah on the city of Osaka. Following Godzilla in the Super X, the player must maneuver him through the city, causing as little damage as possible and trying to avoid the alien tanks and missile batteries. Nuclear reactors provide Godzilla with a healing revivification, while other power-ups are scattered about the city, offering Godzilla quick boosts in health, attack boosts, and brief moments of invincibility.

At last, Godzilla confronts King Ghidorah, blasting the fiend's central head from his body. Before King Ghidorah can be finished off, however, the aliens arrive, teleporting the injured monster into their mother ship. The alien assault continues at Mt. Fuji, where the aliens have riddled the area with tanks, missiles and powerful land mines. Alien saucers patrol the region. Worse, another monster has appeared - another Godzilla! Bringing Godzilla into the battle, its is soon discovered that the second monster is a fake, Mechagodzilla in disguise. Following the battle, the aliens abduct Professor Ogata, who has been studying the severed King Ghidorah head.

Heading to Lake Ashino to rescue Professor Ogata, Godzilla encounters heavier alien defenses, including barriers of high-tension towers and exploding mock alien bases. At last, Professor Ogata is rescued, but the battle is not over. The aliens have fused Godzilla cells and those of a rose to create Biollante. The huge monster lurks in the waters of Lake Ashino, awaiting Godzilla's attack. Professor Ogata reveals that he has solved the riddle of King Ghidorah's cells, adding the genetic material to Godzilla to give him an increase in strength and power.

The alien attack has caused the monster Battra to awaken. The moth monster assaults Yokohama, and Godzilla is sent to destroy him. The swift flying fiend is a crafty and elusive enemy. Worse, a cocoon containing a second Battra is hidden somewhere in Yokohama and must be destroyed before it hatches into another adult Battra.

The final alien attack occurs in Tokyo. The aliens have re-built King Ghidorah as the cyborg monster Mecha-King Ghidorah. This monster is so powerful, that Godzilla may require the massive supercharge Professor Ogata has developed. Three nuclear reactors scattered throughout the city have been redesigned to confer the massive amounts of radiation and King Ghidorah cells required to mutate Godzilla into an even more powerful form, a Super Godzilla. Whether given this massive boost of power or not, Godzilla does not have much time to destroy the cyborg monster.

With Mecha-King Ghidorah destroyed, the aliens play their trump card. Employing time travel technology, they have captured the ancient dragon-beast Bagan from China's ancient past and further mutated the beast with the cells of King Ghidorah and Godzilla. Bagan appears as an energy cocoon, the violence of his emergence nuking the Diet building and a large part of Tokyo. So powerful is Bagan, that only with Professor Ogata's supercharge can Godzilla possibly hope to defeat the demonic Bagan. During the one-sided battle, the second Super X arrives, filling Godzilla with the energy necessary to briefly mutate him into Super Godzilla. Still, the battle is anything but certain.
