The monster also featured in two films in the Mothra trilogy, both of which involved time-travel and different versions of Ghidorah:
Ghidorah appeared in two episodes of the tokusatsu superhero TV series, Zone Fighter (1973).
Godzilla: Monster of Monsters (1989, Nintendo Entertainment System), Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters (1992, Nintendo Entertainment System), Super Godzilla (1993, Super Nintendo Entertainment System), Godzilla: Battle Legends (1993, Turbo Duo), Godzilla Trading Battle (1998, Playstation), Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee (2002, Nintendo GameCube and Xbox. Released in Japan in 2002 as Godzilla: Domination! for the Game Boy Advance), Godzilla: Save the Earth (2004, Playstation 2 and Xbox), Godzilla: Unleashed (2007, Playstation 2 and Wii. Also released in 2007 as Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash for the Nintendo DS).
King Ghidorah is capable of flight (with the creature's wings also generating hurricane strength winds) and possesses several breath weapons (e.g heat and energy). The creature also possesses considerable destructive capability due to his sheer size.
