It took that many monsters to take him down. Only Godzilla, Anguirus, and Gorosaurus were actually more directly involved in the fighting though and even that was a bit overkill considering how easily they decimated him after being knocked down by Gorosaurus. And it's ironic considering 2 of the 3 are essentially "normal dinosaurs", with Godzilla being the only powered one. All Mothra and Kumonga did was a couple sprays of their silk/web (first time doing nothing and second time just being for "celebration"), all Rodan did was kick up dust with his wings before being forced to fly away when zapped by Ghidorah's gravity beams, all Minilla did was shoot a single smoke ring, and all Baragon, Manda, and Varan did was watch.

Also can't forget that Ghidorah was previously driven away just by Godzilla and Rodan, so all of those monsters were never necessary to defeat him.

I'd give the match to Heisei King Ghidorah overall. Almost killed Godzilla one on one were it not for Godzilla being made stronger than before.

Yes, but it took ONE monster to kill HeiseiGhido. It took two to drive off ShodaiGhido, and NINE to kill him. No, it only took 3 to kill Showa King Ghidorah (Godzilla, Anguirus, and Gorosaurus while the others didn't really do anything to contribute), and even then, it seemed more like overkill then "necessary" given just one-sidedly he was being stomped by the end. It was more like "more is cooler" than "more is necessary".

Heisei King Ghidorah was only beaten due to Godzilla being made even stronger than before (and even then, it was close, with Ghidorah almost choking him to death). If Godzilla had remained his previous self, his 1985/Biollante self, King Ghidorah would've most likely won. Godzilla (Showa), Anguirus, and Gorosaurus are probably equal in power to the Heisei Godzilla, if not more powerful. And maybe those silk webs did something. And I didn't watch the film, so how many monsters stomped on him?

And I'm surprised Goro agrees with me for once.

Showa Godzilla was only 50 meters / 164 feet tall and weighed 20,000 tons. Gorosaurus had to be extremely beefed up from his original self to match Godzilla';s height (originally, he was the same height as King Kong, who himself is only about the height of a T-Rex, so around 50 feet tall), and Gorosaurus and Anguirus, as I said, have no special powers of their own outside of their inherent physical strength (at least not until Final Wars, which may or may not be canon, that had Anguirus doing his "soccer ball" attack taken from Destroy All Monsters Melee). Anguirus was already beaten by Showa Godzilla before too, so I doubt either of them are as powerful, much less more powerful than Showa Godzilla.

Heisei Godzilla was originally 80 meters / 262.4 feet tall and weighed 50,000 tons, then became 100 meters / 328 feet tall and 60,000 tons during and after Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah through Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, so he became twice as tall, three times as heavy, and much more powerful due to being super-charged by modern nuclear energy when his 80 meter tall self (which came into existence despite the Futurians attempts to erase him from history due to nuclear energy from a Soviet nuclear submarine that sunk during the Cold War and was never recovered in the same area the Godzillasaurus was in) sunk the nuclear submarine sent to bombard him with nuclear missiles to re-create him.

And I literally just went and watched the Destroy All Monsters battle. Mothra and Kumonga's silk/web do not show any sort of effect on King Ghidorah. They show a couple seconds of it being sprayed on him, but then cuts away and when they get back to showing King Ghidorah again, there is nothing on him. And Godzilla stomps on King Ghidorah's left head, Anguirus chomps on King Ghidorah's right head, and Gorosaurus chomps on his right tail after kangaroo kicking him from behind. The other monsters did not participate in the otherwise one-sided beatdown until Minilla blew a single smoke ring at King Ghidorah's middle head at the very end. Still. 50 meters plus 50 meters and Anguirus's size and kangaroo kicks and an atomic beam combined could defeat Heisei.
