History VideoGame / SuperRobotWarsGC

Like the Platform/SegaDreamcast port of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'', ''GC'' plays the VideoGame3DLeap by using fully 3D battle animations and is the only game to feature multiple HitPoint bars on all units. Aside from the primary HP bar representing the "body", the "head", "arms" and "legs" of all units are also given HP values. [[SubsystemDamage By targeting specific parts of a unit]], it may be disabled during combat scenarios rather than become destroyed. Additionally, disabling enemy units allows the player to capture them and add it the playable roster or sell the machine for credits or turned into equippable parts.

'''Super Robot Wars GC''' is the first and only UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube ''Super Robot Wars'' installment. It would later be ported to the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} under the title '''Super Robot Wars XO''', which had an online mode called "Super Robot Competition".

* AdaptedOut: [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam The Titans]] are not shown to exist in the game and their are stated to have been dealt with offscreen. Made even more ironic in that their {{Leitmotif}}, ''Running Through Space ~ Clash!'', is used as the battle theme for the ''Zeta'' units rather than either of their usual ''Mobile Suit Combat'' or ''Fleet Battle'').

* AdaptationalHeroism: Zeon deploys the Apsalus III during its second attempt to capture Jaburo. Aina is piloting it but Ginias soon assumes control over it after removing a half-hearted Aina from the cockpit. Ginias asked Norris to take Aina to safety while he pilots the Apsalas III himself in spite of his poor health, vowing victory for Zeon. In essence, Banpresto treated Ginias a lot better in GC than in the original series.

* ADayInTheLimelight: ''GC'' is this for the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam Year]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket War]] and the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Neo Zeon movement]] - you jump from one to the other, and there is no [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans force]] to worry about. The main OYW pilots all live (so no, [[TheyKilledKenny Slegger and Ryu DON'T die]]) and stay on your side through the entire game, the White Base is your main ride (even after getting the [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Gundor]]), and Bright Noa is always important to the plot. On top of that, [[spoiler:recruit Lalah Sune is an ''automatic recruit''.]]

* PutOnABus: The Titans (Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam's enemy group) never show up in the game.

!Series listing (debuting series are highlighted in '''bold'''):

** The game also throws a few bad mechs at you for this type of use, notably [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam a Ball and a GM]] (not a custom type of GM like the [[SecretCharacter potential GM Sniper]] you can get later, but a normal GM) and, as always, [[Anime/MazinKaiser Boss Borot]]. The Ball is also cheap, and its one attack is a seven range cannon with 20 rounds. The GM is a weaker and cheaper version of the Ground Type Gundam you get a few missions later, and Boss Borot remains frail, easy to repair if it dies (10 money!), and cheap to upgrade, but it has the added bonus of a 1 range attack with REALLY high power, on top of three pilots who have good Spirit pools. Plus, it can Repair and Resupply. Sure, [[GlassCannon it can't take hits,]] but its usability makes it potentially useful.

* PowerUpLetdown: The Layzner will actually LOSE attack power when it upgrades. The Powered Layzner's V-MAX tops out at 4900, the [[SecretCharacter Mk 2]] tops out at 5000, and Layzner will top out at 5250. Everything else about the unit is powered up, though, so you trade power for [[LightningBruiser invulnerability]] as enemies fail to hit a V-Max Powered/V-MAXIMUM boosted unit.

** Mazinkaiser: [[spoiler:Upgraded Great Mazinger and Venus A]]
