Appearance in Other Media
Biollante appears as a playable monster in the videogame Godzilla: Unleashed.
Biollante was slated to appear in Godzilla: Save the Earth, but was cut in the final stages. At the time, the design team had trouble conceptualizing how Biollante's sheer mass and slow movement would translate to such a fast-paced game. A character model, sound set and attack list was created but sadly omitted from the final product. Some early screen shots exist of Biollante from Save the Earth, and it has been suggested by members of the design team primarily through the www.Godzilla.com user forums that the Biollante data programmed for StE was saved and then later translated for use in the Wii version of Godzilla: Unleashed. Due to the massive engine overhaul, Biollante fits in perfectly with the roster and is the game's largest and second most physically powerful character, next to King Ghidorah. She is a member of the Mutant faction.
In Marc Cerasini's Godzilla: At World's End, Biollante is a genetically engineered monster created by a nearly-extinct race of crystalline beings known as the Old Ones. Biollante remained stationary (possibly in a state of hibernation) within the Old Ones' lost city until the arrival of a group of human explorers and (soon after) Godzilla. After nearly killing Godzilla, Biollante is set on fire by Godzilla, and although the flames were put out when the city was flooded, it can be assumed that Biollante was killed when cavern containing the Old Ones' Necropolis collapses. This version of Biollante has no connection to Godzilla.
Biollante was originally to be the final boss in Godzilla: Domination!, but due to money constraints, the boss was switched to a giant Mecha-King Ghidorah.
Biollante is the boss of the third level of the 1993 Super NES game, Super Godzilla.

Famous quotes containing the words appearance and/or media:
“Men of all professions affect such an air and appearance as to seem to be what they wish to be believed to be—so that one might say the whole world is made up of nothing but appearances.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
