===== ABOUT MECHAGODZILLA II =====
He is the weaker version of the Super Megagodzilla. The main difference between the two is that Mechagodzilla II does not have the Garuda airship/backpack equipped. This means that he doesn't have the Garuda-related extra special moves that Super Mechagodzilla has. Regardless of this, he is still a very good character to use. His in-game graphics/sprites appear to be identical to Super MG minus the Garuda.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
---- Despite Super Mechagodzilla and Mechagodzilla II being separate characters, if the both of them are selected (P1 and P2) then one of them will be in an alternative colour palette.
---- Despite normally being non-selectable in single-player mode, it is possible to complete the game with him in this mode without any problems. Surprisingly, he also has an ending image as well... which suggests that he may have been originally planned to be selectable in single-player mode.
---- As he isn't selectable in single-player mode, some minor glitches can occur when he is highlighted on the character select screen.
---- He doesn't seem to need to fight any of the boss Mechagodzillas to beat the game. However I have not tested this on all difficulty levels.
---- The game is known as Godzilla: Monster War in the West and Europe.
---- The North American version of the game was cancelled and never released. It was called Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters.
===== ABOUT GODZILLA KAIJUU DAIKESSEN =====
This is an excellent fighting game on the SNES... the graphics and animation are good, and the gameplay is solid. All the characters have a lot of special moves as well as their Holds and Super moves. As the game's characters are monsters, their "attack styles" will take some getting used to... especially if you're used to Street Fighter II style fighters.
