* ArmCannon: A recurring CyberCyclops enemy in the game have a blaster grafted on it's right hand, which it uses to shoot projectiles at Z. Either laser bolts, or grenades.

** Garada K-7, the first boss, begins as a robotic {{Gashadokuro}} who attacks the human-sized Z on the rooftop of a Tokyo skyscraper, with Garada's head in the background as it repeatedly sends it's hands lunging at Z. Damage it's gigantic hands enough and Garada K-7 shrinks itself to roughly the same size as Mazinger Z for a direct confrontation.
** The penultimate fight against Hell Mazinger plays out the same way, with Z in a building and Hell Mazinger's head outside the window in the background, as it tries sticking both arms into the building to grapple Mazinger.
* BlobMonster: Piles of sentient blobs appear in the monastery, appearing as lumpy piles of mud before forming into humanoid shapes to attack Z.
* BossRush: Before confronting Hell Mazinger, Z must fight the previous bosses in a single stage, all of them {{Palette Swap}}ped.
* EpicFlail: The preferred weapon of Slug Head in both it's battles - a spiked ball on a chain it repeatedly swings at Z to smash him with.
* FireBreathingWeapon: A handful of Godkaiser Hell's human-sized mooks are armed with flamethrowers, though they're quite slow and can be cut down before they can incinerate Z.

** A BossTease in the first stage have Z fighting Garada K-7's gigantic foot, who repeatedly attempts to stomp him into a pulp. Garada K-7 simply leaves after suffering enough slashes, before returning at the end of the stage.
** Negative Mazinger appears in Egypt, portrayed in the same manner as a gigantic foot attempting to squash Z until it's slashed enough times. It then returns at the end of the level as a proper boss.
* HoverBike: Enemies will sometimes ride fast-moving hovercycles and attempt ramming them into Z, though they can be dodged by jumping and kicked off their ride in a single hit.
* LilyPadPlatform: Z uses these to cross a river filled with oversized plants in one stage.
* LivingStatue: The second-to-last stage in Tibet before Z faces Slug Head have him being attacked by a huge statue of the Goddess Kannon, converted into a weapon capable of spamming projectile attacks, and he needs to destroy it before he can proceed.
* MasterSwordsman: Just like the anime, Z's default weapon is his trusty sword, and he's no slouch in using it. Many mooks serving Godkaiser Hell have swords as well, but they're nowhere as skilled as Z.
* PowerFist: The stronger, musclebound humanoid minions of Godkaiser Hell have armored fists as large as themselves. Their sole attack is a punch that deals even more damage than swords used by common mooks besides knocking Z off his feet.
* RollingAttack: Godkaiser Hell's legion of pillbug-humanoid can roll themselves into balls and attack Z by ramming.
* WolverineClaws: Red-clad humanoid enemies use these weapons - gauntlets with two claws on each - to attempt slicing up Z. They put up a slightly better fight than the lowest-level mooks.
