''Super Godzilla'', released on UsefulNotes/{{SNES}} in 1993 for Japan and 1994 for the rest of the world, is easily considered one of the most disappointing Godzilla games since you don't fight the other monsters so much as you step forward, punch, move back, select an attack and then just watch a short cinematic of the monsters beating each other up. In short it's less of a video game and more of a movie.

Added DiffLines:

* WakeUpCallBoss: Mechagodzilla in both versions of the game. While he has less health than King Ghidorah, he also takes less damage from your attacks, making him more durable overall. Furthermore, he counters your regular atomic breath, forcing you to either make do with weaker physical attacks or try to set up a super atomic breath, and making the random attack dangerous to use. And true to the film versions which always come close to killing Godzilla, they've got some pretty mean attacks: Showa Mechagodzilla has a very strong basic attack that hits three times and greatly adds up, and while Heisei Mechagodzilla's version is weaker, he makes up for it with his signature Mega Buster beam which does a ''lot'' of damage.
* WarmUpBoss: The first King Ghidorah fight. He's the only boss in the game besides his own upgraded form without any real gimmicks, and he has relatively low health, making him fairly straightforward and allowing you to get used to the fight controls.

Added DiffLines:

* BossAlteringConsequence: The last two bosses are different depending on your actions in Stage 5:
** If you go straight for Mecha-King Ghidorah without collecting the energy cells which transform you into Super Godzilla, and before the city is 50% destroyed, you fight Mecha-King Ghidorah as regular Godzilla in what proves to be a rather challenging boss fight. However, this allows Professor Ogata to finish the Super Energy Bank, allowing you to start the fight against the FinalBoss as Super Godzilla with all of your health and items. The aliens will also comment on Godzilla looking different, [[TemptingFate before shrugging it off saying it won't matter]].
** If you collect the energy cells to turn into Super Godzilla before facing Mecha-King Ghidorah, or let the city reach 50% destruction regardless of if you do, then the Super Energy Bank isn't finished. While Mecha King-Ghidorah becomes much easier to beat if you transformed, [[spoiler:it turns Bagan into a HopelessBossFight, forcing you to HoldTheLine until the Super X comes by to deliver more energy to turn into Super Godzilla again]].

** Allegedly, this was a repurpose of the design for "Alien Miko", a scrapped villain for one of the early pre-production incarnations of the film ''Film/GodzillaVsGigan".

* {{Cameo}}: The Super-X2 from ''[[Film/GodzillaVsBiollante Godzilla vs. Biollante]]'' is in the opening and ending movies but other then shooting down an alien mother ship it's sole purpose is to fly over Godzilla and direct him via mind control. Likewise [[spoiler:the original Super-X from ''[[Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla The Return of Godzilla]]'' will make a cameo in the battle with Bagan if Tokyo reached 50 percent damage or higher before you beat Mecha-King Ghidorah or if you choose to become Super Godzilla and defeat him as that. In that case you have to hold off Bagan as normal Godzilla for a while in a suicide mission until the Super-X arrives with the energy to turn you into Super Godzilla.]]

* AdaptedOut: The Japanese version of the game uses the Heisei era Mechagodzilla, but when the game was brought to the US, he was switched out for the Showa era version, for unknown reasons. This might be due to the fatc that at the time, the Heisei incarnation of Mechagodzilla was almost completely unknown in the United States.
