''Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee'' is the first game in the Pipeworks ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' trilogy, developed by Pipeworks Software, Inc. and published by Atari in 2002 for the Nintendo [=GameCube=]. The game's plot involves an alien race known as the Vortaak invading the Earth and assuming control of the planet's giant monsters, sending them to attack cities across the globe. One monster breaks free from the Vortaak's control, and battles the other monsters in order to drive off the Vortaak.

----
!!This game provide example of:
* AdaptationalWimp: Mothra is simply an assist character in ''Destroy All Monsters Melee''.
* AlienInvasion: The Vortaak invasion sets the backdrop of the series.
* AssKickingPose: All monsters start out with one, including the flying bug monsters - or at least their equivalent.
* AssistCharacter: Mothra can be summoned via Assist icons.
%%* BadassCrew: All of the monsters.
* BigBad: The Vortaak Queen, Vorticia, who tries to invade and conquer Earth multiple times.
* BlowYouAway: King Ghidorah, Mecha-King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Rodan have attacks that send powerful gusts of wind at opponents, damaging them and pushing them back.
* BreathWeapon: Even kaiju without a canonical one or EyeBeams get a MakeMeWannaShout variant. Anguirus, for example, has a Sonic Roar that makes stuns opponents.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Any monster you pick will be the hero at the end of the game.
* DeathFromAbove: Rodan, King Ghidorah, Mecha-King Ghidorah, Mothra, and Mechagodzilla are capable of flight.
* DestructiveSavior: Whichever monster you use will save the earth, but is inevitably going to be causing a lot of collateral damage and destroy a number of buildings.
* DinosaursAreDragons: All three Godzilla variations are gigantic fire-breathing dinosaurs.
* DoNotAdjustYourSet: The intro movie has the Vortaak doing this.
* ExcusePlot: The Vortaak are [[GenreSavvy very aware of this]].
-->'''Vortaak Controller:''' We will conquer your planet and harvest your resources! It's what we do...
* FireIceLightning: The game has these elemental damage types and many more.
* FightingSeries: ''Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee'' was followed by ''Godzilla: Save the Earth'' and ''Godzilla: Unleashed''.
* FinalBoss: Mechagodzilla (Or Mecha King Ghidorah if you ''are'' Mechagodzilla) is the final boss of ''Destroy All Monsters Melee''.
* FlyingSaucer: Vortaak ships are designed this way.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Vorticia, the queen of the Vortaak, warns that they will be back, and she wasn't lying...
* FunWithAcronyms: Most notably MOGUERA, although [[AllThereInTheManual the acronym isn't explained in-game]].
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The Vortaak. The game even lampshades their PlanetLooters hat by saying "It's what we do..."
* GiantFlyer: Quite a few of the monsters, both organic and mechanical, are capable of flight. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with several monsters who could fly in the films but can't fly in the games (Gigan, Destoroyah).
* GoodOldFisticuffs: When you aren't using ranged attacks, odds are you're punching or kicking your opponent into submission.
* HumongousMecha: Mechagodzilla is a giant robot built to fight Godzilla.
* InASingleBound: The monsters are capable of jumping as though they're on the moon. While critics complain that this breaks immersion, WordOfGod is that this was necessary to make melee combat between terrestrial and airborne monsters viable.
* InsaneTrollLogic: The army will attack which monster is doing the most damage, and when a building is brought down by a monster getting thrown into it, they count the monster that hit the building as doing the damage, not the monster that threw it into the building.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: King Ghidorah is a three-headed draconic Kaiju, alongside his cyborg incarnation Mecha-King Ghidorah.
* KillAllHumans: You can use your monster to smash up anything you want.
* LauncherMove: In addition to the usual variety, recovery attacks generally act as this.
* LifeMeter: A green bar indicates how much HP the monsters have.
* LimitBreak: The Rage Attacks are unique attacks that deal enormous amounts of damage.
* MeleeATrois: Like in any 4-player fighting game, this can happen if all 4 available monsters are set against each other. On top of that, the military will sometimes join in to attack whichever monster is causing the most damage.
* MotherShip: A recurring level is the one the Vortaak launch their invasions from. Its so big that the inside is basically a city.
* MovesetClone: Godzilla 90's and Godzilla 2000 share their movesets, but undergo DivergentCharacterEvolution in the sequels.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Even within the same setting - just compare Godzilla and King Ghidorah.
* PlayingWithFire: Several of the monsters use fire attacks.
* PromotedToPlayable: Mothra went from being an AssistCharacter to playable between ''Destroy All Monsters Melee'' and ''Save The Earth''.
* SeriousBusiness: The story is about the monsters saving the world. Doesn't mean you can't have a little fun smashing stuff first.
* TailSlap: Most monsters with long tails use them for at least a couple of attacks, especially those with [[BewareMyStingerTail stingers, clubs, and tail-blades]].
* TemptingFate: The Vortaak announcer in the original game, where after pointing the Vortaak have mind-controlled Earth's giant monsters and turned them loose to threaten humans into surrendering, boasts that "Not even your strongest monster can break free and defeat the others."
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: You can easily end a match with a fully-charged BreathWeapon or a toss into/of a building... [[FingerPokeOfDoom or you can just use a light jab]].
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: OH GOD YES! The developers knew how much causing damage to the cities would be so they included the "Destruction Mode" where two players compete to see how causes the most damage. The Xbox version of ''Destroy All Monsters Melee'' allows you to play this solo, like a classic ''Godzilla'' film.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: The army will start attacking whichever monster does more damage, and while army vehicles can be destroyed simply by walking into them, unlike in movies, they can hurt you, and the Mazers with the freezing beams can also freeze you in place and render you an easy target for your opponents. Fights will do damage, but the army is still something to take into account.
* WingsDoNothing: Despite having wings, Destroyah is incapable of flight as a result of concerns that letting him fly would make him overpowered.

''Godzilla: Unleashed'' takes place 20 years after the end of ''Save the Earth'', and possesses an in-depth and varied story mode. The Vortaak's second return is thrown awry by a meteor shower that causes the appearance of bizarre [[PowerCrystal crystals that emit a strange radiation]] that [[SuperMode powers monsters up]]. The crystals' radiation also causes a series of natural (and unnatural) disasters. The [[ChaoticEvil Mutant]] and Vortaak-allied [[LawfulEvil Alien]] monsters attempt to utilize these crystals to conquer the earth, while the [[ChaoticGood Earth Defender]] and [[LawfulGood Global Defense Force]] factions attempt to destroy them. The crystals are revealed to be created by [[BigBad [=SpaceGodzilla=]]], who is trying to escape the alternate dimension he was trapped in at the end of ''Save the Earth''.

* AdaptationalWimp: Mothra is simply an assist character in the earlier games and when she gets PromotedToPlayable she's the weakest monster in the game due to having weak attacks and less defensive power. Not helped by the fact that you start out in her larvae stage. ''Unleashed'' gives her some more useful abilities, such as a pulse beam, a "rainbow" of sorts that absorbs beams and causes damage, and a shockwave. Players have since figured out that Mothra is designed around long-range and hit-and-run attacks.
