History VideoGame / GodzillaMonsterOfMonsters

''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}: Monster of Monsters'' is a video game on the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem developed by Compile and published by Toho in Japan on December 9, 1988. It was released in the US on October 1989, and released in Europe sometime during 1991. The western versions oddly enough removed all references to Compile and Toho Cenfile-Soft Library, and instead credits Toho Eizo on the title screen.

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Mothra may be weaker than Godzilla in strength, but she's better suited at fighting certain kaiju. She's a better fighter against Hedorah as she can fit better underneath his arc of sludge bombs, and she can even exploit a blind spot against Mechagodzilla. She's even surprisingly effective against ''King Ghidorah'', much more than Godzilla himself, since there's a sweet spot she can hover in where next to none of Ghidora's attacks can touch her while she diligently picks away at his health with her projectiles.

* ClassicCheatCode: Entering “Film/DestroyAllMonsters” on the password screen unlocked a mode that started you on Earth with all the monsters on the map. Entering “[[Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster Monster Zero]]” put you on Earth against just Ghidorah.

* AIBreaker: Moguera is very easily stunlocked by Godzilla's tail whip attack.

* FragileSpeedster: Mothra can move five spaces every turn and can just about ignore every ground-based obstacle and enemy. But one hit is enough for her to lose control, and her lack of destructive ability means she has trouble fighting most other kaiju.

* ThemeTuneCameo: The sound selection scene lets you play cues from the game's soundtrack; a few themes from the movies are among the tracks.

* BreathWeapon: Godzilla, of course. It's activated by pressing the Select button, and uses up energy in Godzilla's power gauge.

** One of the most obnoxious enemies in the game is a particular spaceship that can take out 80% of your health in one, well placed blow. And it doesn't help that it becomes MUCH more common throughout the course of the game.
** Gigan. Not only can he back you into a corner, but he can also completely DESTROY you with his buzzaw. And you can't do anything to stop it! You're dead the moment he has you in that corner. The worst part? Whether he does this or not is entirely random.

** By far, the most dreaded, hated, and despised kaiju battle in the game: Gigan. Not only can he back you into a corner, but he can also completely DESTROY you with his buzzaw.

* AIBreaker: Moguera jams up if you can hit him with Godzilla's atomic breath when Moguera isn't moving, and follow up with Godzilla's tail whipping attack.

The game combines elements of {{Action|Game}}, {{Strategy|Game}}, and {{Fighting|Game}} games. The player takes control of both Godzilla and Film/{{Mothra}} and must move them across several hexagonal boards to reach the teleporter base at the end of each one. Standing in their way are the various enemy {{kaiju}}. As the player moves their monsters through the board, they must play through several action levels dependant on the hex types the monster moves through. Both the player and the enemy side takes turns in moving their monsters, and if their monsters meet, a battle ensures that lasts either 40 seconds or until one of the combatants fall. If the 40 seconds are up, the game returns to the board and the current turn ends.
