After failing to invade the [[Earth]], the [[Vortaak]] return to Earth two years later with all of the monsters under their control, along with their ultimate weapon, [[SpaceGodzilla]]. The player assumes the role of a monster who has broken free of the control, regardless of what monster is picked.

The original story during development was much more elaborate, involving the Vortaak infiltrating human society to steal G-cells.

==Game Modes==
 
==Game modes==
===Action Mode===
===Action Mode===
Action Mode is the game's primary story mode. The player selects a monster to play as, and must fight his or her way through various stages, each of which contains an enemy monster. The player will occasionally encounter Challenges Mode stages, which provide the player with bonus points if completed, but are not necessary to progress the story. Eventually the player will reach the final stage, the Vortaak Mothership, which typically features [[Orga]] as the final opponent.

Eventually the player will reach the final stage, the Vortaak Mothership, which typically features [[Orga]] as the final opponent.  


If the player completes Action Mode on the hard difficulty with Godzilla 2000, a cutscene showing [[SpaceGodzilla]]'s shoulder crystals shattering in the middle of a canyon will be played. The shattered remnants then temporarily coalesce into a miniature black hole that sucks SpaceGodzilla in immediately before the black hole fades out. Godzilla roars victoriously and the Vortaak flee the Earth.

Godzilla roars victoriously and the Vortaak flee Earth.
===Challenges Mode===
===Challenges Mode===
Challenges Mode is a secondary game mode that consists of special stages where the player must complete some task. Unlike Action Mode stages, these stages are not all based on defeating the enemy monster, and may feature up to four different monsters at the same time. When playing through Action Mode, the player will occasionally enter a Challenges Mode stage, which after being completed will unlock it for play in the Challenges Mode menu. If the player successfully beats a Challenges Mode stage, he or she will earn points to spend at the in-game store. When these stages are encountered in Action Mode, the player will control whichever monster he or she is using for the rest of the mode, while if they are selected individually in the Challenges Mode menu, the player will automatically play as [[MireGoji|Godzilla 2000]]. The only exception is the "Asteroid Field" challenge, where the player plays as [[M.O.G.U.E.R.A.]] This game mode is notable for featuring some monsters as bosses that are not themselves playable in the game, such as [[Ebirah]], the [[Millennian]] and [[SpaceGodzilla]]'s flying form.

===Versus Mode===
===Versus Mode===
Versus Mode is a gameplay mode where the player can initiate a custom 1-on-1 battle as and against the monster of his or her choosing. The player will have access to all monsters and stages he or she has unlocked prior. The time limit and number of rounds for each battle can be customized. This mode can be played against the AI or a second player.

===Melee Mode===
===Melee Mode===
Similar to Versus Mode, Melee Mode allows the player to set up custom battles using the monsters and stages of his or her choosing. However, Melee Mode gives the option of including up to four monsters. The player has the option to make the match a free-for-all or team battle, and can choose between making it be decided by knockout, combat points, or destruction points. The destruction option is similar to the "Destruction Mode" from ''[[Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee]]'', where the player competes against the other monsters to score as many points as possible. Like Versus Mode, this mode can be played with one or two players.

===Survival Mode===
===Survival Mode===
Survival Mode is a single-player, single-stage (of the player's choice) gameplay mode in which the player must defeat as many opponents as possible before his or her monster's health is completely diminished. Each opponent must be defeated within a three-minute time limit or the match is automatically over. The player's score is based on how many monsters in a row are beaten and how quickly they were defeated. The player monster's health bar is partially replenished after certain matches, but the amount of health received gradually decreases the further one progresses.

[[Biollante]] was scrapped prior to release despite being fully completed and the majority of the game's story was cut, even though a considerable amount of time was spent on the story mode. Simon Strange stated that it wasn't the "feel good" project that ''[[Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee]]'' was. There was originally going to be a robust tokens system, but it was eventually cut.

==Trivia==
*The Japanese box art features the [[King Ghidorah/GMK|2001]] [[Mothra/GMK|versions]] of King Ghidorah and Mothra.
*The Japanese box art for this game features the designs for [[King Ghidorah (Millennium)|King Ghidorah]] and [[Mothra (GMK)|Mothra]] from ''[[Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack]]'', while the North American box art features [[Mothra Leo|Rainbow Mothra]] and [[Mecha-King Ghidorah]] with his organic heads resembling those of the [[King Ghidorah (Showa)|Showa King Ghidorah]]. Within the game itself, [[King Ghidorah]] bears [[King Ghidorah (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)|his design]] from ''[[Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah]]'', while [[Mothra]] is based on [[Mothra (Godzilla vs. Mothra)|her appearance]] from ''[[Godzilla vs. Mothra]]''.
*Anguirus' roar originally had some sort of "shockwave" effect when it was used at full charge. The waves were not correctly drawn at all angles, so they were cut.
*The monster bios in the Japanese manual for the game feature photographs from the films. While the majority of these photos reflect the designs for the monsters used within the game, [[Baragon]] is represented by a still from ''[[Frankenstein vs. Baragon]]'' while in the game he is patterned after his ''GMK'' incarnation, and Mothra's photograph shows [[Mothra (Rebirth of Mothra)|Mothra]] carrying the larval Mothra Leo from ''[[Rebirth of Mothra]]'' despite her being patterned after her ''Godzilla vs. Mothra'' incarnation.
*Via backwards compatibility, the Xbox version is playable on the Xbox 360.
**These bios also spell the monsters' names in both Japanese and English. While these names are mostly identical to those used in the English version of the game, there are some exceptions. [[Godzilla (Heisei)|Godzilla 90's]] is called "Godzilla 90" in Japanese and just "Godzilla" in English, [[Kiryu|Mechagodzilla 3]] is called "Mechagodzilla 3 (Kiryu)" in Japanese and just "Kiryu" in English, [[SpaceGodzilla]] is called "Spacegodzilla" in English, and [[Moguera|MOGUERA]]'s name is not represented as an acronym in either Japanese or English.

Story

After failing to conquer the Earth, the Vortaak return to Earth two years later with all of the monsters under their control, along with their ultimate weapon, SpaceGodzilla. The player assumes the role of a monster who has broken free of the control, regardless of what monster is picked.

The original story during development was much more elaborate, involving the Vortaak infiltrating human society to steal G-cells.

Game modes

Action Mode

Action Mode is the game's primary story mode. The player selects a monster to play as, and must fight their way through various stages, each of which contains an enemy monster. The player will occasionally encounter Challenges Mode stages, which provide the player with bonus points if completed, but are not necessary to progress the story. Eventually the player will reach the final stage, the Vortaak Mothership, which typically features Orga as the final opponent.

If the player completes Action Mode on the hard difficulty with Godzilla 2000, a cutscene showing SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals shattering in the middle of a canyon will be played. The shattered remnants then temporarily coalesce into a miniature black hole that sucks SpaceGodzilla in immediately before the black hole fades out. Godzilla roars victoriously and the Vortaak flee Earth.

Challenges Mode

Challenges Mode is a secondary game mode that consists of special stages where the player must complete some task. Unlike Action Mode stages, these stages are not all based on defeating the enemy monster, and may feature up to four different monsters at the same time. When playing through Action Mode, the player will occasionally enter a Challenges Mode stage, which after being completed will unlock it for play in the Challenges Mode menu. If the player successfully beats a Challenges Mode stage, they will earn points to spend at the in-game store. When these stages are encountered in Action Mode, the player will control whichever monster they are using for the rest of the mode, while if they are selected individually in the Challenges Mode menu, the player will automatically play as Godzilla 2000. The only exception is the "Asteroid Field" challenge, where the player plays as MOGUERA. This game mode is notable for featuring some monsters as bosses that are not themselves playable in the game, such as Ebirah, the Millennian and SpaceGodzilla's flying form.

The various challenges and their in-game descriptions are as follows:

  • Asteroid Field - "As Moguera™, patrol the asteroid field and destroy as many Alien vehicles as possible. Then defeat the boss."
  • Battleships - "Destroy battleships for points. Earn 5,000 points before time is up."
  • Clone Attack - "Jet Jaguar™ has been cloned! Destroy him and his clone before they destroy you."
  • Demolition - "Destroy the city. Earn 15,000 destruction points before the timer runs out."
  • Monster Bowling - "Knock down all of the monsters by throwing rocks at them before the timer runs out."
  • Monster Roundup - "Throw 3 monsters into the 3 separate pens before time is up."
  • Mothership - "Defeat Orga™'s 3 stages and escape the Alien Mothership."
  • Osaka Crunch - "Destroy 70% of the city before the timer runs out."
  • Replicator - "Defeat Mecha-King Ghidorah™ and his clones."
  • UFO Attack - "Destroy the U.F.O.s before they destroy the Pyramid Building."
  • Undersea Battle - "Swim to the bottom of the ocean to find and destroy the Vortaak's hammer sub."
  • Vorillium Basketball - "Make as many baskets as you can in 3 minutes. The monster with the most points wins."

Versus Mode

Versus Mode is a gameplay mode where the player can initiate a custom 1-on-1 battle as and against the monster of their choosing. The player will have access to all monsters and stages they have unlocked prior. The time limit and number of rounds for each battle can be customized. This mode can be played against the AI or a second player.

Melee Mode

Similar to Versus Mode, Melee Mode allows the player to set up custom battles using the monsters and stages of their choosing. However, Melee Mode gives the option of including up to four monsters. The player has the option to make the match a free-for-all or team battle, and can choose between making it be decided by knockout, combat points, or destruction points. The destruction option is similar to the "Destruction Mode" from Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, where the player competes against the other monsters to score as many points as possible. Like Versus Mode, this mode can be played with one or two players.

Survival Mode

Survival Mode is a single-player, single-stage (of the player's choice) gameplay mode in which the player must defeat as many opponents as possible before their monster's health is completely diminished. Each opponent must be defeated within a three-minute time limit or the match is automatically over. The player's score is based on how many monsters in a row are beaten and how quickly they were defeated. The player monster's health bar is partially replenished after certain matches, but the amount of health received gradually decreases the further one progresses.

Each monster in Survival Mode faces its opponents in a different order and they are as follows:

    • Destoroyah
    • Mechagodzilla 2
    • King Ghidorah

Biollante in Godzilla: Save the Earth
  • Battra was to be made playable after the Super X3 was added, but ultimately ended up as an airstrike like the latter.[3] Battra became playable in the PS2 version of this game's sequel, Godzilla: Unleashed.
  • Biollante was behind schedule, and as a result Atari was not able to get the license in time; despite being eventually completed and still being present in the game's code. Biollante is the only monster in any of the Atari/Pipeworks Godzilla games to be fully completed but scrapped from the finished game.[4][5] In 2014, hackers utilizing the PlayStation 2 emulator PCSX2 managed to access Biollante's data and render her playable. She was later included as a playable character in the Wii version of Godzilla: Unleashed.
  • Star Falcon was planned to be included as an alternate mode for MOGUERA 2 to transform into. Although not playable, its model can still be accessed through hacking.[6] It is unknown if Land Moguera would have been featured as well, or how the vehicle would have been controlled.
  • Godzilla 1954 was set to be a secret character but did not make the cut due to the presence of two other versions of Godzilla.[7] He was later included as a playable character in the Wii version of Godzilla: Unleashed.
  • Hedorah was strongly considered but was not included due to the limitations of the consoles.[7][3]
  • Showa Mechagodzilla was set to be a secret character but did not make the cut due to the presence of two other versions of Mechagodzilla.[7] Like many of the other unused fighters from Godzilla: Save the Earth, it was later included as a playable character in the Wii version of Godzilla: Unleashed.
  • Rainbow Mothra is depicted on the game's box art, but this is likely just an art error. During an interview for Godzilla: Unleashed, Simon Strange mentioned that Rebirth of Mothra characters would not be allowed due to Toho considering it a separate series.[citation needed]
  • Super Mechagodzilla was considered, according to Simon Strange.[3]
  • Titanosaurus was included in some concept art for the game[8] and, at least according to Simon Strange, was considered to be a fighter.[7][4][9] He was later included as a playable character in the Wii version of Godzilla: Unleashed.
  • Varan was not directly considered but, according to Simon Strange, he would have been "their next choice".[7] He later became playable in the Wii version of Godzilla: Unleashed.

Vehicles

  • Battleships
  • Helicopters
  • Submarines
  • Super X3 (airstrike)
  • Tanks

Arenas

Fighting stages

Godzilla: Save the Earth features a total of 16 different fighting stages, including nine standard sized arenas and seven smaller, sub-arena variations. Most of the stages in the game have options for switching between day and night settings.

Scrapped

Las Vegas concept art
  • An ice level set in Antarctica is shown in two pieces of concept art, the first one consisting of Titanosaurus and other monsters battling it out. The second one includes a description of gameplay in the level. It is a picture of Godzilla 2000 falling into an ice flow with Mechagodzilla 3 watching. It reads "Monsters can fall through ice flow hazards. They will re-emerge in the ocean section of the arena."
  • Las Vegas is seen in concept art for the game. The art shows Godzilla 90's holding the Hard Rock Hotel's guitar, prepared to use it against Mecha-King Ghidorah.
  • A Rodan Challenges Mode rail shooter level was seen only in concept art. It was to function similarly to the Godzilla 2000 and MOGUERA 2 ones, only this time being set in a desert.
  • The Statue Level was briefly described in an interview and seen in concept art that would have involved fighting Destoroyah while trying to activate a statue of Jet Jaguar.
  • A Mt. Fuji stage was planned to serve as the last arena for Story Mode, where the player would fight several monsters before a final showdown with SpaceGodzilla.

Miscellaneous scrapped elements

Many of the game's proposed elements were abandoned during production, due to a combination of time constraints and licensing issues. This was possibly due to Atari rushing the game in order to coincide with the release of Godzilla Final Wars in 2004. Biollante was scrapped prior to release despite being fully completed and the majority of the game's story was cut, even though a considerable amount of time was spent on the story mode. Simon Strange stated that it was not the "feel good" project that Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee was. There was originally going to be a robust tokens system, but it was eventually cut. Most of the cut scenes were deleted along with the story, and the special effects for Anguirus' roar were changed.[10]

Trivia

  • The Japanese box art for this game features the designs for King Ghidorah and Mothra from Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, while the North American box art features Rainbow Mothra and Mecha-King Ghidorah with his organic heads resembling those of the Showa King Ghidorah. Within the game itself, King Ghidorah bears his design from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, while Mothra is based on her appearance from Godzilla vs. Mothra.
  • The monster bios in the Japanese manual for the game feature photographs from the films. While the majority of these photos reflect the designs for the monsters used within the game, Baragon is represented by a still from Frankenstein vs. Baragon while in the game he is patterned after his GMK incarnation, and Mothra's photograph shows Mothra carrying the larval Mothra Leo from Rebirth of Mothra despite her being patterned after her Godzilla vs. Mothra incarnation.
    • These bios also spell the monsters' names in both Japanese and English. While these names are mostly identical to those used in the English version of the game, there are some exceptions. Godzilla 90's is called "Godzilla 90" in Japanese and just "Godzilla" in English, Mechagodzilla 3 is called "Mechagodzilla 3 (Kiryu)" in Japanese and just "Kiryu" in English, SpaceGodzilla is called "Spacegodzilla" in English, and MOGUERA's name is not represented as an acronym in either Japanese or English.
  • Anguirus' roar originally had some sort of "shockwave" effect when it was used at full charge. The waves were not correctly drawn at all angles, so they were cut.
  • Via backwards compatibility, the Xbox version of this game is playable on the Xbox 360.
