[edit] Gameplay

GMoM features two playable characters, Godzilla and Mothra. The player uses both monsters in turn by selecting the desired creature on a virtual gameboard, representative of the planet it is on, and moving it like a chess piece. Each space is a hexagon that represents playable, side-scrolling levels.

[edit] Level Style

There are several varieties of levels including forest, mountain, enemy base, sub-space, and ruined cities.

[edit] Monsters

  • Godzilla: One of the playable characters. He can attack with his claws, feet, tail, or atomic breath. He's slow but powerful.
  • Mothra: The other playable monster. She can fire small 'pellet' shaped eye beams and spray poison. She can fly around and move quickly, but is quite weak.
  • Gezora: A monster from Space Amoeba never featured in the Godzilla series, he's a giant cuttlefish with weak offense and defense.
  • Moguera: the mechanical beast who first appeared in the Mysterians and the design of which is used in the game, he fires lasers and tends to retreat a lot. This is not the same Moguera that appears in the movie "Godzilla VS. Spacegodzilla"
  • Varan: This monster only made one small cameo in the series, but he had his own movie, Varan the Unbelievable. He grabs and punches, and has a powerful charge attack.
  • Hedorah: The first enemy monster original to the series to show up in the game, the Smog Monster fires smog and attacks with tentacle-hands.
  • Baragon: This one also only made a small cameo. He is too short to hit easily, but he attacks with fire beams and his horn.
  • Gigan: Another actual Godzilla-series fiend. His eye can fire lasers, and he has a chainsaw in his chest.
  • Mechagodzilla: He has mostly the same attacks as Godzilla, a powerful eye beam, and a large amount of life compared to most other monsters.
  • King Ghidorah: A large and powerful beast from many of the series' movies. He fires lightning beams and bites.

[edit] Trivia

  • One type of attacking spaceship appears to be the Super X from Godzilla 1985.
  • The intro shows hundreds of Gotengos.
