| ~ Red to Zachary upon killing all of Zachary's monsters | ~ excluding Godzilla and Acacius |
[]
Given a second-hand copy of the classic game bought by a friend at a garage sale, Zach begins to play it again, and at first is swept away by nostalgia. Yet strange things begin to happen in the game, things that Zach attempts to explain away. When the screen glitches oddly, he assumes that it is dirt and cleans the cartridge. When past Godzilla foes not seen in the original game show up, he assumes that he has latched onto a prototype or beta not widely released. When Godzilla foes not in existence when the game was made show up, he assumes someone hacked it (a very hard thing to do with a cartridge-based game). Yet things begin to quickly pile up that he can no longer ignore, such as the sound and graphics improving vastly past the point the old NES could ever dream of delivering.
Slowly but surely, the familiar, simple, and repetitive levels are replaced by ever more bizarre ones, replete with minor and major foes that become gravely disturbing, capped off by a personally invasive quiz level with questions that seem to be straight out of the Bridge scene in Monty Python And The Holy Grail. Even the background shows mind-bending horrors and almost emanate a sense of despair.
The Godzilla foes start to warp and shift, finally bearing no resemblance at all to their origins. King Ghidorah is replaced by a creature amalgamating all the twisted bosses fought so far, and he is far from being the last enemy in this version. Despite the aid of new monsters and even an angelic figure, Zach encounters the one who has directed all this. He calls the creature Red, and it starts by chasing his daikaiju across a landscape screen, able to kill even Godzilla with one shot. It soon becomes clear that this is no mere game-image, as Red seems to look at him from the screen, going so far as to threaten and taunt him.
Red even tells him that the suicide of his late girlfriend Melissa was all his work, possessing her as he has now possessed the game. Unable to let himself give up and wanting revenge on Red, Zach presses on and determines to beat the altered game. But Red is not above stretching the rules and even cheating. Even with Godzilla, Mothra and others to call upon, Zach is in for the fight of his life—and very possibly, a fight for his life, even perhaps his soul.
Red appears as a boss in the final level of the game, with four forms, his land form, his water form, his flying form, and finally, his final Red form. Red devours Mothra in his flying form and paralyzes Zach on his seat so he can't turn off the game, and creates a life-or-death situation with him. In his final form, Red kills Solomon, then he kills Anguirus, and he finally devours Godzilla. Red says "GAME OVER", but Melissa saves Zach and unlocks Acacius, the strongest monster in the game, which ultimately defeats Red with his life bar down to nearly nothing. Melissa revives Face, Solomon, Mothra, Anguirus and Godzilla, and says they are grateful for this.

Multi-City Block level+ physically (Can one shot Monster of Monsters Godzilla, who is based off Showa Godzilla, this Godzilla stands 50 meters tall and can crush "rocky mountains" almost as big as him, can smash through a large metal wall blocking his path and hurt other kaiju capable of withstanding his Radiation Breath), Planet Level to Large Planet Level (Should be superior in strength to entities such as The Moon Beast, who was capable of splitting the moon upon emerging from birth. Managed to create entire planets with his powers such Zenith and could even alter planets to become the word "KILL" or even an entire flesh stage), possibly Solar System Level (Corrupted all of the planets), possibly Low Multiverse level (Was left shattered across the universe after his battle with Solomon. His appearance in the creepypasta was just but one of his avatars. His appearance in Colossal Kaiju Combat is also canon to the creepypasta story, being another avatar of the original RED. This version of RED is capable of matching with other monsters who are capable of causing the big bang, sustaining the universe's existence, and continuing said universe's existence. The universe contains multiple timelines and dimensions, though to what extent of this is unknown) | Dwarf Star Level to possibly Solar System Level (Surpassed itself in power 10-fold, gaining more health bars and enough power to effectively oneshot any being in NES Godzilla except Solomon and Melissa), Low Multiverse level (Has complete control over his universe and before Melissa stepped in, Red was planning on destroying the universe and leaving it empty. His true form is heavily implied to exist widespread across Zachary's real world and the CKC universe as fiction. The CKC universe is implied to have multiple timelines and universes, though to what extent of this is unknown)
[]
Subsonic to Supersonic+ (Can keep up and out run Monster of Monsters Godzilla, who is comparable to his Showa counterpart, capable of clearing distances as vast as he is big in seconds. Can intercept, redirect and dodge projectiles ranging from tank shells and missiles from jets to Ghidora's Gravity Rays, as well as fight monsters faster than him), Massively FTL+ (Could fly to any planet of the solar system, in what seemingly appeared to be an instant, including terrain as far as Pluto) | Massively FTL+ (Immensely more powerful than before, having increased his power 10-fold), possibly Nigh-Omnipresent (Was "shattered" across the universe. As a result, this likely means he exists simultaneously throughout the physical plane and possibly time as well)
[]
Class Z (Physically superior to Moon Beast, a being that can break through the moon with strength alone) | Class Z (Superior to previous form)
[]
Multi-City Block Class+, Planet Class to Large Planet Class (Surpasses The Moon Beast, who is able to destroy the moon upon emerging from it and doing so casually. Can create planets with it's powers and restructure them in his image, ranging from corrupted worlds called "KILL" to even fleshy worlds), possibly Solar System Class, possibly Low Multiversal | Dwarf Star Class to possibly Solar System Class, Low Multiversal
[]
Multi-City Block level+, Planet Level to Large Planet Level (Nobody in NES Godzilla, was capable of dealing any insignificant damage to Red, whom of which was treated as invincible), possibly Solar System Level, possibly Low Multiverse level | Dwarf Star Class to possibly Solar System Class, Low Multiverse level

[]
Stellar (Manty powers of Red can effect entire planets, such as being able to envelop planets in flames, distort them through reality warping or even creating planets), Solar System Class (Corrupted the worlds one by one) | Universal+, Multi-Universal via certain abilities (His Powers were effecting both the universe of NES Godzilla and the dimension that Zach inhabits)
[]
High (Was able to manipulate a multitude of characters and almost won, until Melissa basically stopped him)

While he is a powerful entity, Red clearly has issues with his sadistic side; this said, he will often waste time to torture enemies he particularly dislikes. Additionally, he will gloat and make menacing faces to scare people often rather than actually fighting, so a fear-immune enemy has a major advantage. Finally, Red seems to have no extremely long range attacks (the longest seems to be, arguably, the needle gun fire). Requires energy to deliver his more powerful attacks; typically blows through energy to ensure the death of his first opponent, meaning he is much deadlier against one opponent than showed here, but much weaker against a group attacking at different times (needs recharge in between fights, weak to enemies who can outlast his energy).
