Super Robot Spirits (スーパーロボットスピリッツ Sūpā Robotto Supirittsu) is a 3D Fighting Game for the Nintendo 64 and a Spin-Off from the usual Super Robot Wars formula. It was released only in Japan in 1998. Like Shin Super Robot Wars, this game was largely forgotten because of its premise and obsucrity, but it served as the debut of the Judecca and its pilot Levi Tolar, who would reappear in Super Robot Wars Alpha.

- Improbable Weapon User: The "Boomerang Idiom" and the Daitarn Fan
- Let's You and Him Fight: May double as Excuse Plot - the storyline of this game is this in a nutshell
- Meaningful Name: "Tolar" is a loose romanization of the word "Torah", meaning "the law" in Hebrew. "Levi" is one of the twelve tribes of Israel in the Old Testament and are designated as the priests, who were charge of the law, hence Levi being the "Priestess of Judecca".

- Sequel Hook: After beating Levi, she reveals that she is a puppet of Commander Gozzo. Gozzo thanks Levi for her efforts and intends to commence his invasion of Earth.
- Theme Naming: Subversion; while "Judecca" refers to Judas Iscariot, the disciple of Jesus Christ who betrayed him, each of the Judecca's attacks ("Caina", "Antenora", "Ptolomea" and "Judecca") corresponds to a section of the ninth and lowest circle of hell in The Divine Comedy.
- SNK Boss: The Judecca is really quick, has an infinite spirit bar, and almost Nigh-Invulnerability when Levi performs any specials and supers.
