Story:
"In 2XXX A.D. when the orbits of Pluto and Neptune
exchange their positions, the Earth receives a declaration
of war from an unknown planet.
The invaders from Planet X attack the Earth as part of
their plan to conquer the entire universe using a legion
of space monsters.
The Earth sends Godzilla, king of the monsters on the
Earth, and Mothra, to defend itself. Godzilla advances
through battle stages called Ring Fields provided in interplanetary
space to battle that legion of space monsters controlled
by Planet X. Godzilla must battle its way from one Ring
Field to another, and finally defeat King Ghidorah at
Planet X to defend Earth.
For the sake of the future of the Earth, Godzilla's fierce
battle now begins..."
Character Details:
Both Godzilla and Mothra start the game at level 1, and
with a limited supply of life and power. The kaiju can
gain levels by defeating bosses and certain stage types
(Ruins and
Sub-Space);
every time Godzilla or Mothra gains a level their life
and power bars will increase. The maximum level is 16.
The life bar will replenish once a boss is defeated, or
when a Life Capsule is picked up. The power bar recovers
by itself over time, and the more life the monster has
the faster it recovers.
Advancing:
To move to the next world, the remaining monster(s) must
move onto the Base
Headquarters stage. On the following turn select the
monster, don't move, and the game will ask if you want
to advance to the next world. If either Godzilla or Mothra
died before advancing, the deceased monster will reappear
in the next world; however, the revived monster will lose
one level as a result. Things to note: if a Godzilla or
Mothra advances to the next level, and the other monster
left behind is destroyed, you will lose the game.
Bosses:
Each world hosts 2-8 bosses, depending on how far
the player is, who will attack the player on their way
to the enemy base. The player doesn't have to beat the
bosses, with the exception of King Ghidorah, to advance
in the game, but in general they will be hard to avoid
and confrontation is inevitable. Things to note: boss
matches (or "Hyper-Fight Mode") last approximately
40 seconds before the match is ended in a draw and both
monsters are returned to the Ring Field view; in case
of a draw, the enemy kaiju will have their health restored
slightly (this differs between the US and Japanese version
of the game).
