Who are these guys?

Who are these characters from 80's Japanese culture?

I found this great little Super Famicom (SNES) game the other day that was never released in America. It's called Battle Pinball and it features 4 different pinball tables, each with a theme of some Japanese show or movie.

Two of them I recognize. It's Ultraman and a Gundam. Ultraman's pinball table is like a model of a Japanese city overrun with giant monsters. The Gundam table is set in space.

If it helps, Mystery 1's table is laid out like a dirt graveyard or something, with train tracks going up one side, and Mystery 2's table is set underwater, with fish and submarines.

The first one is Kamen Rider. I'm not sure about the last one.
