Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash is a video game developed by Santa Cruz Games and published by Atari for the Nintendo DS. While marketed alongside Godzilla: Unleashed and sharing most of its story elements, Double Smash is a 2D sidescroller rather than a 3D fighting game. The game features a total of 24 monsters, with 10 being playable and the rest appearing as boss enemies. Some of these monsters, such as Ebirah, Manda, and Hedorah, are not featured in the console versions. The game was released on November 20, 2007.

Gameplay

Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash is a two-dimensional sidescroller. The player controls two monsters, one on the top screen that flies, and another on the bottom screen that walks across the ground. The game is 2.5-D and moves slowly to the end of the level. Small challenges confront the player during gameplay, including human military, flying crystals and buildings. When the player comes across a crystal or building, they must execute a combo to destroy it. Monsters can use high and low attacks plus a beam weapon. If the blue bar on the screen is filled, the player can execute a surge attack that destroys all on-screen enemies. The bosses in the game are all unplayable with the exception of Destoroyah. Every stage in the game has two enemy monsters, a mini-boss which can be found at the middle part of the stage, and a final boss which can be found at the very end of the stage. Within the game's story mode, the game cannot be saved and the player must complete the story in a single playthrough.

Story

Strange crystalline meteors begin crashing into the Earth, creating unusual phenomena that affect major cities around the globe and causing countless kaiju to run rampant. Two monsters work together to fight their way through many of these cities and battle against their malevolent brethren. Eventually, the duo arrives on Monster Island, which has become infested with crystals formed by the meteors. The monsters battle Destoroyah before coming face-to-face with the source of the calamity: SpaceGodzilla. The two monsters manage to defeat SpaceGodzilla, ending the crystal incursion and restoring some semblance of peace to the world.
