Super Godzilla (
超ゴジラ, Chou-Gojira in
Japan) is a video game for the
Super Nintendo released in 1993 by
Toho.
Unlike other games of the era,
Super Godzilla is not a straight action game. Instead, the player must guide
Godzilla 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 originally supposed to fight Godzilla in a feature film. The game is also known for substituting the Heisei Mechagodzilla for the original
Mechagodzilla in the North American version of the game because
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II had not been released in North America at the time.
