Gameplay

The main objective of the game is to collect all of the icons for each monster, which is accomplished by completing the minigame they give and can be done in any order. To initiate a minigame, the player must click one of the four buttons in the corners of the screen to cycle through the seasons and click on the monster they want to challenge. Save for Godzilla's songs and the ending minigame, the player must score three points, each depicted by a baby Godzilla hatching from an egg, by fulfilling the given objective thrice to win.

List of minigames

Godzilla

Godzilla, who can be found in all four seasons, is unique in that he will sing a song on the selected season, each done in various music styles, that will automatically reward the player one of his four icons at the end.

Mothra

Gigan

Gigan's minigame, accessible in the spring season, has the player create an image of an animal that is similar to another provided animal. This is accomplished by clicking each of the divided panels until part of the correct answer is found, and once the correct match is made, one point will be rewarded.

Biollante

Biollante, found in the summer season, challenges the player to a memory game where both take turns flipping over leaves to find the adult versions of given larvae. To reveal the hidden insect, the player must click on one of the leaves. The first to find three matching insects wins the minigame.

Hedorah

In Hedorah's minigame, which is accessible in the summer season, the player must recreate an image of a given fish using a slot machine divided into three slots, each containing divided parts of various fish. The player must click each slot in order to line up the illustrated parts of each fish and then either submit it or, if the image does not match, try again. Successfully recreating the requested fish will reward one point.

Rodan

Like Biollante, the minigame for Rodan, found in the autumn season, involves the player competing against him in a memory game to score three points first.

Megalon

King Ghidorah

Similarly to Hedorah's minigame, King Ghidorah's minigame, found in the winter season, challenges the player to recreate a given animal by lining up their divided parts using a slot machine and either submitting or resetting the result. Successfully recreating the animal will reward one point.

Mechagodzilla

The minigame for Mechagodzilla, who is found in the winter season, tasks the player with providing an illustration of the cross-section of a given fruit. Similarly to Gigan's minigame, each divided panel on the right-side of the screen must be clicked to cycle through different fruits to create the correct cross-section image, and the game will reward a point when the correct image is made.

BabyGodzilla

After collecting all of the monster icons, the final minigame has BabyGodzilla riding a raft down a river to a hot air balloon. The player must click the up or down arrows to avoid obstacles such as rocks or floating rocks until BabyGodzilla reaches a stopping point, where they then must correctly answer a given question with three choices. Answering correctly allows BabyGodzilla to proceed through the next set of obstacles to the next question while an incorrect answer will make his raft sink. Once BabyGodzilla reaches the balloon, the player must click a button to make him breathe fire and propel himself back to the island, completing the game.
