Godzilla is a pinball machine designed by Keith Elwin and released by Stern Pinball beginning in September 2021.[1] It is based on the Godzilla films of the same name from the Shōwa era. It also features the song "Godzilla" by Blue Öyster Cult as its title music.[2]
It is widely regarded as a modern classic by players of all skill levels.[3] A previous Godzilla-themed pinball machine was produced by Sega Pinball in 1998.
Upon launch, Stern released three versions; Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition. In June 2024, Stern released a 70th Anniversary version of the game which featured a black and white themed version of the Premium model.[4][5]
The Limited Edition model is limited to 1,000 units and features a numbered plaque, custom-themed backglass, cabinet artwork and art blades as well as a shaker motor and anti-reflection glass. The artwork for the Limited Edition version is based on the film Terror of Mechagodzilla.
A series of accessories were released, including the heat ray topper which adds an extra mode to the game.[6]
Layout
The game includes two "criss-crossing" ramps.[7]
