Editing Mechagodzilla (section)

==In other media==
The various incarnations of Mechagodzilla have appeared in other media associated with the series, such as video games, television shows, and comics.

===In video games===
The Shōwa Mechagodzilla appears in the video games ''[[Godzilla: Monster of Monsters]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], ''[[Godzilla (Game Boy)|Godzilla]]'' for the [[Game Boy]], ''[[Super Godzilla]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] (American release; replaces the Heisei version from the Super Famicom release, since the Heisei incarnation's film had yet to be released in America when the game was released), ''[[Godzilla: Battle Legends]]'' for [[TurboGrafx-16]], ''[[Godzilla Generations]]'' for the [[Dreamcast]] (erroneously using his Heisei counterpart's sound effects) and ''[[Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact]]'' for the Dreamcast and the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Godzilla: Unleashed]]''.

The Heisei Mechagodzilla appeared in the video games ''[[Super Godzilla]]'' (Japanese version, replaced by the Showa Mechagodzilla in the English release) and ''[[Godzilla: Monster War]]'', both for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]], ''[[Godzilla: Domination|Godzilla: Domination!]]'' for [[Game Boy Advance]], ''[[Godzilla: Save the Earth]]'' for [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] and [[PlayStation 2]], ''[[Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee]]'' for Xbox and [[GameCube]], and [[Wii]] and [[PlayStation 2]] versions of ''[[Godzilla: Unleashed]]''.

Kiryu first appeared in the Japanese version of ''[[Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee]]'' on the [[GameCube]]. Since the Millennium Mechagodzilla duology would take a few years to reach US stores, it was dropped from the American version of the game, but did appear as an exclusive in the Xbox version. Kiryu was next playable in ''[[Godzilla: Save the Earth]]'' for the [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] and the [[PlayStation 2]] under the title "Mechagodzilla 3"; this would be Kiryu's first PS2 appearance in the United States. Kiryu also appears in both versions of ''[[Godzilla: Unleashed]]'', for the first time under the name "Kiryu" as opposed to its names in the two previous games; "Millennium Mechagodzilla" and "Mechagodzilla 3".

Like the other kaiju in the game, the backstories of all three Mechagodzilla incarnations are altered slightly, to fit the context of the game. The Heisei Mechagodzilla and Kiryu are man-made mecha created by the G.D.F. (Global Defense Force) faction to defend Earth from the Vortaak and their kaiju of the aliens' faction. The original Showa Mechagodzilla was salvaged and rebuilt by the Vortaak to be used in their kaiju force.

In the PlayStation 4 version of ''[[Godzilla (2014 video game)|Godzilla]]'', 4 incarnations of Mechagodzilla appear, the original Showa Mechagodzilla appears as both Mechagodzilla from ''Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla'' and as Mechagodzilla 2 the rebuilt Mechagodzilla from ''Terror of Mechagodzilla''. The Heisei Mechagodzilla appears in its Super Mechagodzilla form, while Kiryu appears in its rebuilt design from ''Tokyo S.O.S.'' In the PS4 version, all 4 Mechagodzilla are playable, the 2 versions of the Showa Mechagodzilla can be played in God of Destruction Mode via the Invade option (which allows the mode to be played using Kaiju other than the Heisei era Godzilla), while Super Mechagodzilla and Kiryu can be played via selecting Defend option (where the player defends humanity as friendly kaiju such as Mothra and various G-Force Mecha). In the PS3 version, only Mechagodzilla 1975, Super Mechagodzilla, and Kiryu appear as bosses and are not playable.

The thirteenth level of ''[[City Shrouded in Shadow]]'', a game where players, as civilians, must escape and survive kaiju attacks, mostly mirrors the first encounter between Godzilla and Kiryu in ''[[Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla]]''. The protagonists, tied up in the building by Yakuza thugs, witness [[Godzilla]] rampage through the game's setting, the fictional Ichi City, and Kiryu is eventually deployed in response. After a short battle where both shoot at each other, Godzilla roars at Kiryu and reminds the spirit within of [[Godzilla (1954 film)|his past]] as a Godzilla, causing him to be possessed & go berserk. As Godzilla leaves, Kiryu approaches and fires missiles at the building in which the player is inside. Once the player has reached safety or once 30 seconds have transpired, Kiryu marches through the building, cleaving it in half, heading off into the distance. The newspaper that displays the results after the level reveals that, after 30 minutes of rampaging, Kiryu has run out of power, allowing the government to retrieve the inactive mecha.

The Shōwa, Heisei, Anime Trilogy, MonsterVerse Mechagodzilla, and Kiryu appear as playable characters in ''Godzilla Battle Line''.

Kiryu along with Godzilla, Gigan and Destoroyah become DLC guest stars in the indie game ''[[GigaBash]]''.

The MonsterVerse Mechagodzilla appears as a playable skin in [[Epic Games]]' ''[[Fortnite]]'', alongside [[Godzilla (MonsterVerse) | Godzilla]] and [[Kong (MonsterVerse) | Kong]].

===Television===
While Mechagodzilla did not appear in ''[[Godzilla: The Series]]'', a sequel to ''[[Godzilla (1998 film)| Godzilla]]'' (1998), the first Godzilla was reanimated as a cyborg called ''Cyber-Godzilla'' in the Monster Wars trilogy.<ref name="Ultimate Guide">{{cite web |url=http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2006/03/28/godzilla-the-series/ |title=The Ultimate Guide to Godzilla: The Series|last1=Johnson|first1=Bob|last2=Aiken|first2=Keith|work=SciFi Japan|date=March 28, 2006|access-date=April 15, 2018}}</ref>

A Shōwa-inspired Mechagodzilla appears in the post-credits scene of the anime series ''[[Godzilla Singular Point]]'', though the lab's computer screens identify him as ''Robogodzilla''.

===In film===
Mechagodzilla appears in the 2018 science fiction action film ''[[Ready Player One (film)|Ready Player One]]'' where he is seen battling the [[The Iron Giant|Iron Giant]] and the [[RX-78-2 Gundam]]. This time, Mechagodzilla is remodeled and resembles the 1974 Shōwa version, the 2002 Kiryū, and the 2014 Legendary MonsterVerse Godzilla design.
