Orbital

These enemies appear in nearly every stage, the exceptions being stages which feature Mini-Bosses and Ruins, and can't be destroyed by the player as they attack Godzilla or Mothra in orbit, far above the planet's surface.


(Godzilla Version)

Black Shark
The attack submarine the Black Shark is a fast moving craft which will quickly fly across the screen, far above the player, showering down several blasts at Godzilla or Mothra before leaving. The Black Shark will only appear on Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
From: Latitude Zero (1969)


(Mothra Version)

(Godzilla Version)
Super-X
The Super-X is different from the other Orbital enemies, in that it some times will appear near the ground, on Mecha City stages, to attack the player; consequently, it can be destroyed unlike the others. The Super-X also differs in its attack pattern, as it will fly back and forth, strafing the player, instead of flying in a straight line overhead.
From: The Return of Godzilla (1984)

(Mothra Version)
Atragon
The flying submarine, Atragon, is a slow moving craft which will fire at the player as it slowly makes its descent across the sky. The Atragon will only appear on Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
From: Atragon (1963)

(Godzilla Version)

Satellite Missile Launchers*
The slow moving Satellite Missile Launcher will creep across the screen and let loose with its cargo once Godzilla or Mothra is in range. Like their appearance suggests, the craft can only fire two missiles in total before running out of ammo.
From: N/A


(Mothra Version)

(Godzilla Version)

SSS-1
The slow moving space station functions much like the Atragon in most regards, except that it only appears on Uranus, Pluto, Neptune and Planet X.
From: Gorath (1962)


(Mothra Version)
JX Class Ship
The swift JX Class Ships will blast across the sky firing at Godzilla or Mothra as they fly by, and function much like the Black Shark in most regards, except that the JX Class Ships only appear on Uranus, Pluto, Neptune and Planet X.
From: Gorath (1962)
