''[[King Ofof Thethe Monsters]]'' was a game series created by [[SNK]] in which you can duke it out with [[Kaiju|gigantic monsters]], hence its title. You can also bash buildings and other obstacles for power ups and health. The game play has a [[2½D]] style of controls in which players can stroll up and down the arena as well as the basic forward and backwards.
 
The series only consists of two games. The first one is available for The [[Neo Geo]], [[Sega Genesis]] and [[SNES]] which has a wrestling kind of game play in which the goal is to pin down your opponent for three counts.
Line 8:
The first game consists of 6 characters which are
 
* Geon: A giant dinosaur (no monster brawler is complete without a giant reptile of some sort).
* Woo: King Kong's cousin.
* Poison Ghost: A monster covered in toxic waste.
* Rocky: A giant golem.
* Astro Guy: A giant humanoid superhero.
* Beetle Mania: A large beetle-like creature, suggested to be an alien.
 
All but 3 did not make it in KOTM2''King of the Monsters 2''. The other three are now powered up versions of the previous ones.
 
KOTM2''King of the Monsters 2'' has 10 playable monsters.
 
* Aqua Slug: A giant slug.
* Eiffelyte: A giant human with an orange blob attached to his head.
* Huge Frogger: A giant space helmet wearing humanoid Frog.
* Claw Head: A large green monster with two heads that has a big horn on each. It also has large mouth on its belly and uses its arms as feet.
* Lavicus: A blue monster with a big severed mouth and a small serpentine body. itIt has bat like wings on the back of its head, an odd tube with sharp teeth on his forehead, three eyes and long skinny arms. It also has a large eyeball inside his severed mouth.
* Beetle Monster: A large scorpion monster with four legs, an eye on his belly and a sideways mouth between his legs. His brain also shows, but it's protected by a helmet.
* Farmardy: A gigantic green blob with four eyes, lots of teeth and an orange head. It also has arms sticking out of its midsection. He is the unusable final boss for the Neo Geo version.
 
Returning Characters:
 
* Atomic Guy: A powered up version of Astro Guy.
* Super Geon: A mutated spiky form of the previous Geon.
* Cyber Woo: BEHOLD, a giant robot King Kong!
Line 35:
These three are the heroes of the series.

* [[Balloon Belly]]: Aqua Slug can turn its foes into parade balloons by blowing odd glops of goop at them.
** Strangely, the victim does not pop. They would just appear back to their normal size and falls down.
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* [[Kaiju]]
* [[Mirror Boss]]: [[Anticlimax Boss|How awesome is it to fight your clone?]]
* [[Nintendo Hard]];: Neither games are exactly easy, but the original Neo Geo version of the sequel is perhaps one of the most brutal, unrelenting and merciless quarter-muncher ''ever made''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20111231004729/http://gaminghell.110mb.com/KingOfTheMonsters25.html Gaming Hell sum it ups pretty well.]
* [[Player Versus Player]]
* [[Sequel Hook]]: The ending of the sequel clumsily states that "In 800 years, a few survivors will have powers"."
* [[SNK Boss]]: Well, this game was created by SNK.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The GBA ''[[Godzilla]]'' game is very clearly modeled on this series... with most of the cheating elements removed. It's a [[Cult Classic]].
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]
