* {{Crossover}}: Many early ''Godzilla'' films were crossovers between him and monsters from formerly independent properties. ''Film/MothraVsGodzilla'' was a crossover between Godzilla and Mothra, and ''Film/GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster'' served as a sequel both to that film and ''Film/{{Rodan}}''. ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla'' is probably the most traditional example, as it was a crossover not just between Godzilla and King Kong, but between properties from two different film companies.

Tohoverse continuity is rather complicated, the best way to describe it is that ''Film/Godzilla1954'' is the only film that happens no matter what, and that several {{Alternate Timeline}}s springboard off its conclusion, for the sake of clarity and completion, [[CanonDiscontinuity several non-canon films]] and [[AlternateContinuity Alternate Continuities]] will be placed in this article due to the presence of Tohoverse characters and concepts in those pieces of media.
