In the 1995 video game Gamera: The Time Adventure, which is set in "super-futuristic" times,[1] the player goes back in time to influence the events of the first seven Gamera films, then returns to the future for a final mission which utilizes scenes from Gamera Super Monster.
Heisei Trilogy continuity
- Gamera the Guardian of the Universe (1995)
- Gamera 2: Attack of Legion (1996)
- Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999)
Heisei Trilogy tie-ins
- Legend (1995) - Comic by Mahiro Maeda which depicts the fall of Atlantis thousands of years before the events of Gamera the Guardian of the Universe, published in the book Gamera the Guardian of the Universe Full Record.
- Gamera (1996) - Four-issue Dark Horse miniseries set one year after Gamera the Guardian of the Universe.
- Gamera: Gigantic Creature Council (1999) - In-universe documentary seemingly set after Gamera 3.
- Gamera vs. Barugon: Comic Version (2003) - Set between Gamera 2 and Gamera 3.
- The Last Hope (2017) - Comic by Matt Frank which provides an alternate telling of the fall of Atlantis, originally self-published as fan fiction. However, it has since been reprinted officially in both Japan and the United States.
It is unknown if any of these tie-ins are canonical to each other. There are some contradictions, like the diverging stories of Atlantis in Legend and The Last Hope, and Zigra's differing origins in Gamera and Gamera vs. Barugon: Comic Version.
Gamera the Brave continuity
- Gamera the Brave (2006)
- Gamera 2006: Hard Link (2006)[b]

Notes
- ↑ Super Monster's place in the continuity is debatable as it seems to contradict the movies preceding it. For example, Gamera is implied to be a turtle bought at a pet store and set free, rather than an ancient Atlantean creature as established in his debut film.
- ↑ The manga's opening scene differs from that of the film. The rest of its events are set in the middle of the film, after the JSDF transports Toto to Nagoya but before Zedus attacks the city.
