Star Tropics 2: Zoda's Revenge
Sent in by Steven M. Martin
Mike returns to C-Island and visits Coralcola, whose inhabitants
have been transformed into wild boars. A man who has been
fishing away from the village tells Mike that when he returned
home he found his neighbors in their strange condition, but offers
no explanation for it. However, he does mention that strange sounds
have been coming from the tunnel he is guarding. Mike enters the
tunnel and faces the bones of the C-Serpent, then takes on the
bosses of the caverns throughout the rest of the game. At last
he enters a strange room with several bouncing objects, which
fire shots at him. He destroys the one vulnerable object, and the
others combine into the form of Zoda-Z. Mike battles Zoda-Z as
best he can, dealing with his multiple shots and his special attack
which turns Mike into a wild boar similar to the ones he met in
Coralcola. After taking a substantial amount of damage, Zoda-Z
reveals his true form: a great hulking thing with power over
lightning and fire in addition to the attacks of his weaker form.
Mike eventually defeats this incarnation of Zoda and makes his
way out of the tunnel. On his way out, he meets the seven space
children he saved in his previous adventure. The oldest, Mica,
greets him and tells him that they are returning to Coralcola.
Mike exits the tunnel and speaks with the Coralcolans, who all
express their gratitude toward him. He visits the chief's hut,
where the space children are waiting for him. Mike first talks
with Mica, who asks him to talk to the chief. The chief volunteers
to put together the seven Tetrads that Mike has gathered in his
travels (adding that his middle name is "Tetris"). The seven
Tetrads combine into one symmetric shape, which glows with
power. In a flash of light, Hirocon, the father of the space children,
emerges from the shape, explaining that he put his essence into
the Tetrads before Zoda's attack on Hirocon's home planet of
Argonia. After assuring Mike that he will always be remembered
as the hero of Argonia, Hirocon teleports himself and his seven
children back home. Mike runs after them as they float through
the sky. The credits roll across the pages of the Oxford Wonder
World, with pictures of the game's major characters beside them.
