Super Godzilla is a video game for the Super Nintendo released in 1993 by Toho.
Unlike other games of the era, Super Godzilla isn't 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.

[edit] Playable Characters

- 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.
[edit] Trivia
