About the Game
Godzilla: Monster of Monsters! is an action-strategy game released for the NES in 1989 by Toho. Players control Godzilla and Mothra as they battle across a hexagonal grid of the solar system, moving from Earth toward Planet X to stop a cosmic invasion. Landing on a hex triggers a side-scrolling action level where you fight through enemy forces before facing off against classic kaiju like Mechagodzilla, Gigan, and King Ghidorah in one-on-one brawls.
How to Play
On the strategy map, move your monsters across the hex grid to engage enemy units or reach the enemy base. In the side-scrolling action stages, the default NES controls apply: use the D-pad (arrow keys) to move and duck, press A (Z key) to attack or fire projectiles, and press B (X key) to jump or fly. Godzilla excels at close-combat brawling and can unleash his atomic breath, while Mothra can fly over obstacles and drop spores.
Tips
- Use Mothra to clear stages with difficult terrain or numerous flying enemies, as her flight bypasses most ground hazards.
- Take advantage of Godzilla’s tail whip (duck and attack), which has excellent range for keeping enemies at bay.
- Godzilla’s atomic breath consumes energy from the power meter, so conserve it for the one-on-one boss battles against other kaiju.
