Using the Alien Faction, play the "On the Mothership " level. On this stage, destroy all three purple structures on the wall. This will be fairly difficult, as each must be destroyed by the player's beam at a range where it's hard to tell if it was actually destroyed or not until backing away. Once this task is done, and the level beaten, select "Evicting Varan" on the Mothership level and defeat the creature to add him to the shop.
Moves
Gigan
- Cost: Gigan is a starter character

Moves
Biollante
- Cost: 30,000
Biollante joins the mutants to defeat her 'creator', Godzilla.
Biollante is the largest kaiju in the game. Her heavy weight makes lifting her impossible, even another Biollante can't toss her in the air. She can stretch her vines so that she can hit opponents from far away. Her offense is amazing but she is extremely slow.
Using the Earth Defenders, play the "Rumble in the Surf" at Tokyo. In the arena, there should be a building with a glowing green base and vines wrapped around it. Destroy this structure to have Biollante briefly emerge and then disappear. After beating this level, select the stage "Biollante" at Tokyo next, and beat the genetic monster to be able to purchase her at the shop.
Moves
Destoroyah
- Cost: Destoroyah is a starter character.
Destoroyah joins the mutants to destroy all life on earth.
Destoroyah has above average offense and deadly long range attacks, hindered only by a slower speed. Destoroyah wields potentially the most powerful move in the game; its Horn Sword attack. Because of issues in the game's coding, this move does not use ANY energy in the wii version, effectively giving Destoroyah a disjointed attack that can hit enemies from a full character length away, potentially making him the strongest kaiju in the game. Spamming this move is almost a viable strategy given how much damage it does, its lack of an energy cost, its range, and how well it can combo with Destoroyah's Oxygen Destroyer projectile. Surprisingly, Destoroyah is strong against cold attacks and weak against heat attacks, unlike his movie counterpart.
Moves
Krystalak
- Cost: 20,000
A life form created by Spacegodzilla's crystals, Krystalak wants to absorb their power to be the strongest kaiju in the universe. He joins the mutants so he can achieve his goal even faster than before.

Using the Alien faction, play the "Terran Mind-Control" level at New York. In the metropolis, destroy a large crystal structure with odd rock plates at the base that is found in the crater. Much later (around nine days after), the "Rise of Krystalak" stage will appear at New York and after selecting it and beating the monster the crystal creation will be added to the shop.
Moves
Megaguirus
- Cost: 20,000
Megaguirus joins the mutants to find large amounts of energy to feed her enormous hunger.
Megaguirus has high offense and unbeatable speed. However, she doesn't gain energy normally, so she must steal the energy from crystals or other kaiju. She can 'steal' the opponent’s main projectile attack by absorbing it in a grapple.
Hold button: Weapon Fire (Requires Energy). After stealing an attack with her grapple move, Megaguirus can use her stored energy to fire the same projectile. The properties of this move are identical to the host, meaning that most can't knockdown an opponent unless she steals the Laser Eyes from Mechagodzilla or Mechagodzilla 2. The amazing thing about this attack, though, is that after using a bar of energy, Megaguirus can fire the beam for an indefinite amount of time as long as it wasn't her only bar of energy. On the downside, the ancient insect can not aim the beam using , and will have to physically move to direct the attack.
Using the Earth Defenders, play the "Enter General Gyozen" stage at London. At the city, destroy three giant light teal crystals. Once this is complete, near the end of the game, after the Atoragon is defeated, the "Wrath of Megaguirus" stage will appear at London. Select this and simply beat the monster to add it to the shop. Note: the "Enter General Gyozen" stage does not actually say "reveal a new monster"
Moves
Obsidius
- Cost: 20,000
A creature created by Spacegodzilla's crystals and the magma of earth's volcanoes, Obsidius joins the mutants to absorb the energy in the crystals.
Obsidius has a good defense and attack but poor long range attack and speed. Obsidius can roll into a ball like Anguirus. Obsidius's stats in story mode are incorrect.
Using the Global Defense Force Faction, play the "Big Trouble" stage at Seattle. At the volcanic area, destroy the two cone shaped crystals down where the lava meets the water then complete the level. Afterwards, select "Birth of Obsidius" at Seattle and defeat the monster to add him to the shop.
Moves
SpaceGodzilla
- Cost: 100,000
SpaceGodzilla, who was sent into another dimension in Godzilla: Save the Earth, tries to escape the dimension by creating millions of crystals. These crystals landed on earth, affecting the climate with their strange energy. SpaceGodzilla eventually escapes and tries to find his crystals and use their power to rule the universe.
Spacegodzilla's long ranged attacks are quite deadly, but SpaceGodzilla is really slow. SpaceGodzilla can't regain energy as fast as the other kaiju, but he can create crystals that regain his energy quite rapidly. SpaceGodzilla can also command the crystals to release energy blasts to damage other kaiju.
Using the Mutant Faction, beat the "Tyrant" level at the end of the game. This will add SpaceGodzilla to the shop.
Moves
Titanosaurus
- Cost: 25,000
Titanosaurus was constantly disturbed by boats or submarines constantly swimming over his home. Although a peaceful dinosaur, Titanosaurus has no choice but to use the power of the crystals to stop the human civilization from ruining his life.

Using the Global Defense Force Faction, play the "Soloist" stage at Sydney. On the frozen land, destroy three circular "cake-shaped" ice structures that appear just outside the force field, meaning a beam will have to be used. After the ice structures are destroyed, and the level cleared, play the "Awakening Titanosaurus" level at Sydney and defeat the dinosaur to add him to the shop.
Moves

- Cost: 50,000
A dying King Ghidorah revived by future technology is sent to the present to prevent the destruction of the planet along with other GDF mechas.
Mecha-King Ghidorah's offense and defense are slightly weaker than King Ghidorah's, but his long range attacks are stronger. He also uses a powerful shield for defense.
Tap : Taser (Requires Icon). Mecha-King Ghidorah releases two small blasts which will stun and remove all energy from the target. The blast requires an icon, which appears next to the cyborg's energy bars, and will come back again 30 seconds after the initial blast.

After this victory, select "M.K.G." at San Francisco and beat Mecha-King Ghidorah to be able to purchase the cyborg creature. It should be noted that since you have to face King Ghidorah in the "Invasion" level the player must select a character from the Earth Defenders that will allow this confrontation to happen, such as Anguirus or Baragon .
Moves
Moguera
- Cost: 5,000
Moguera was the first battle mecha that was created by the GDF, but since it had a weak defense, it was not used a lot. Moguera would only be used if there was another GDF mecha in the battle or as a last resort.
Moguera is a lightning fast mecha with powerful long range weapons. However, it has weak offense and defense. Moguera players should avoid close combat. Moguera also gains energy automatically overtime, but at a slow rate.
+

+ : Power Down. The machine briefly powers down, leaving it immobile as its energy cells are completely refilled. If this move is done while in motion, and the joystick is held in a direction, Moguera will continue to roll as he is powering down.
