Super Godzilla

Super Godzilla

Super Godzilla is a 16-bit Godzilla game in which the player can take control of Toho's famous big green lizard as it ravages Japan. The game is divided into two main modes: Movement and Combat. In movement, the player moves through the city using the D-pad and a map at the bottom of the screen to destroy specific targets such as enemy people and buildings and collect power-ups. An animation appears on the screen above the map, showing the results of the movements and attacks. Battle mode is activated when the player locates an enemy on the map, such as Biollante or Mechagodzilla, and a cinematic side-scrolling style battle ensues where the player must use punches, tail whips and the famous fire breath to deplete the energy of the enemy monster. However, there is also the Battle Spirit system, which is in a way a morale meter where the player must choose the right attacks at the right time to connect certain attacks. If you choose the wrong attacks or don't connect, the meter will drop and Godzilla will be more vulnerable to attacks.

Story

When King Ghidorah suddenly attacks Osaka, the military uses the Super X II to find Godzilla, and they use a transmitter to control the mutated dinosaur. Godzilla is led to Osaka, where he fights King Ghidorah and kills him. Immediately after, Ghidorah's body disappears and an alien spaceship appears. The invaders reveal that they have controlled Ghidorah and demand that the humans surrender. Meanwhile, another Godzilla appears in Mount Fuji, and the Super X II lures the real Godzilla there to fight him. Godzilla confronts the new Godzilla, who turns out to be Mechagodzilla with an artificial skin. During Godzilla's fight with the robot, the aliens kidnap Dr. Shiragami and take him to Lake Ashino. Godzilla goes there to rescue the professor and is confronted by Biollante, his plant-like clone. After defeating Biollante, Super X II rescues Shiragami. It turns out that the Doctor had collected DNA samples from Godzilla and King Ghidorah and experimented with them to create a serum that would improve the physical characteristics of each being. However, the aliens invaded his laboratory, stole the samples and used them to create Biollante. Dr. Shiragami injects Godzilla with some of the serum, making him stronger. The aliens release Battra in Yokohama and it lays an egg that threatens to hatch. Godzilla travels to Yokohama, kills Battra and destroys the egg before it can hatch. King Ghidorah soon returns as Mecha-King Ghidorah after being revived by the aliens, and begins attacking Yokohama. The aliens reveal that they have hidden several capsules containing Shiragami's serum in the city. If Godzilla finds them all before Mecha-King Ghidorah destroys fifty percent of the city, he will mutate into an even stronger form. He succeeds and goes up against Mecha-King Ghidorah. The cyborg monster is slightly inferior to Godzilla's newfound strength and is destroyed. But the battle is far from over. The aliens travel to China, where they awaken an ancient creature named Bagan and inject him with a sample of the serum that makes him as strong as Godzilla. The two titans battle in the ruins of Yokohama, and Bagan proves to be more challenging than any other monster he has faced. Eventually Godzilla defeats Bagan and the aliens retreat, but not without promising revenge. The serum eventually wears off and Godzilla returns to his original form. The Super X II deactivates the transmitter and frees Godzilla from the control of the aliens. The mutated dinosaur returns to the ocean and humanity is grateful for his help.
