input ="Super Godzilla" is a video game for the
Super Nintendo released in 1993 byToho .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 switches into a standard side-view fighting segment.
This game is known for having Bagan, a monster that was to have a chance to fight Godzilla in one of his movies, which would have been based upon the plot of this game, but was never seen again after this. Bagan was also considered as an opponent for
Mothra , but the film never got past the planning stages. Instead, Toho released "Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla " in 1994, followed by "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah " in 1995, with the intention of killing Godzilla off to allow the American version of the creature to take center stage.The game is further known for the fact that the design for Super Godzilla, in Japan, was virtually identical to the design later used for Space Godzilla, while the American version edited out the horn/crown on Super Godzilla's head. It was also known for substituting the original MechaGodzilla for the 1993 MechaGodzilla in the American version of the game because the 1993 version had not yet been seen by American audiences at that time.

Godzilla Defender ofJapan , 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 GodzillaAfter 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. The transformation into Super Godzilla came from a combination of the Super S Energy and the infusion of the cells of King Ghidorah into Godzilla's body.
