The Fantasy Zone Continues

It's been ten years since Opa-Opa returned to his homeland and now he's back. But it's not the same place he left behind.

A group of Blackhearts have joined forces to take over today's Fantasy Zone and Opa-Opa must defend the city gates once again and save his crazy kaleidoscope of creatures from the brink of disaster.

You'll have several interconnected warp gates to enter before you can reach and destroy the Blackhearts. So plan for a long and difficult battle of wits and strength. And remember, "look but don't touch," these critters are dangerous.

How to Use Controls

Before you begin playing, orient yourself with the movements and functions each button prompts.

Individual Functions:

Each button on the Control Pad prompts its own critical moves.

Your Directional Button (D-Button):

Moves Opa-Opa in eight different directions
Moves selection symbol across screen
Selects items from Parts screen

Button 1:

Shoots bullets
Selects items from Shop screen
Exits from Parts screen

Button 2:

Drops bombs
Selects items from Shop screen

Directional Button Functions:

Depending on which directions you want to move towards, press your D-button in one of the eight directional points for Opa-Opa to follow.

When you're ready to visit the Shop, use your D-Button once inside this screen to move across the items until you've made your selection. Then, use Button 1 or 2 to execute your decision.

When you're visiting Parts, use your D-Button to rotate the items until you've made your selection. Then, press Button 1 or 2 to exit. Your part will be awarded to you automatically.

Button 1 and Button 2:

Shooting with Button 1 and bombing with Button 2 is self-explanatory. By pressing the buttons, the action will occur. Rapid fire, however, will only effect shooting. So, press and hold Button 1 to repeatedly fire bullets.

Use Button 1 or 2 to select items from the Shop screen. Use Button 1 or 2 to exit from the Parts screen.

Take Control

Before you begin your journey, the following will guide you through the game rules and regulations.

Life Symbols:

Opa-Opa starts each game with three lives which are illustrated by two Opa-Opa ships in the upper left corner of the screen and by the Opa-Opa ship currently activated in game play.

These ships will remind you of Opa-Opa's life status and symbolize your chances for winning.

It is possible to lose a ship by damage from enemy contact. There is only so much Opa-Opa can take and when his Power Meter turns black, he will lose a ship.
If Opa-Opa loses all three ships, the game is over.
Now it is possible to buy back a ship when necessary. These ships are for sale in the Hidden Shops (which we'll discuss later) and can prolong your game play.

Power Meter:

Located in the center upper screen is Opa-Opa's Power Meter. This indicates how strong Opa-Opa is and measures the amount of damage he receives from enemy fire.

Every time Opa-Opa is hit by enemy fire, bombs, etc., or makes contact with the enemy, his Power Meter will decrease proportionately. When the Power Meter turns black, it is empty and will cost Opa-Opa a Life Symbol (ship).
Now it is possible to power-up your Power Meter when it's getting low. The special parts needed to replenish it are available through the Hidden Shops (which we'll discuss later) and can prolong your game play.

Progress of game:

There are a total of eight rounds to beat before you've won the game. You will be advanced to the end of each round after you've passed through a series of scenes. Each round is composed of a number of scenes. However, the finale of each round is always the same:

You will confront a Blackheart for one battle and you must win to enter the next round.
The following are the individual rounds and number of scenes:

NUMBER AND TITLES OF ROUNDS	NUMBER OF SCENES
(1) PASTARIA	3
(2) SARCAND	3
(3) HIYARIKA	5
(4) BOW BOW	5
(5) CHAPRUN	5
(6) FUWAREAK	5
(7) SBARDIAN	5
(8) WOLFIN	5

Warp Gates:

The individual rounds and scenes are connected by Warp Gates which Opa-Opa must pass through. The gates differ from scene to scene and round to round. Each require different conditions for passage.

During each scene, green warp gates will appear after you destroy an enemy base. These gates will allow passage from scene to scene within a particular round.
Once you have successfully destroyed every base in each scene of a particular round, a red warp gate will be screened. You can only enter this gate if you've satisfied the above conditions.
When you pass through the red warp gate, you'll be confronted by the round's Blackheart whom you must defeat to proceed to the next round.

Now Make Your Move

It is impossible to defend Fantasy Zone with Opa-Opa's physical ability alone. You'll need to improve your skills with various equipment and weapons. And since your enemy will become increasingly powerful, it's wise to save up for big buys later.

Here's where and how to get money and equipment.

Currency and Gold Coins:

The enemy has stashed away hordes of riches in secret hiding places which will serve you well when you find it. It is part of your mission to win these monies.

In the top portion of the screen is a value gauge which will illustrate in dollars how much money you've collected.

Currency and gold coins can be won every time you destroy an enemy ship, creature or base. To be awarded the value of the money, you need to make contact with the currency or the coins quickly.
Failure to take possession of the coins as soon as possible will cause the coins and currency to lose their value and disappear.

Shop:

If you're ready to go shopping, first enter the Shop cloud on the screen and you'll find yourself inside.

You can move the hand symbol up, down, right and left by pressing the D-Button in those directions. Position the hand symbol next to the item of your choice and then press Button 1 or 2 to make your selection.

You can only buy items that do not exceed your available money.
If a blue "Sold Out" message appears on the screen, the item is sold out and not available. After you finish shopping, go to the "Exit" and press Button 1 or 2 to enter the Parts screen.

Parts:

When you enter the Parts selection screen you can only use your D-Button to select items. Parts are separated into three groups:

Parts for SPEED
Parts for SHOT (weapon 1)
Parts for BOMB (weapon 2)

You can buy as many parts as possible, but you're only allowed to buy one part pertaining to one function during a single visit. For example:

If you buy WIDE BEAM and BIG SHOT, they both strengthen Opa-Opa's SHOT ability and therefore, you can not buy them at the same time. Choose the item that is best designed to fight your current enemies.
If you have more than two parts pertaining to the same group, you can exchange them before the game is finished. To exchange them, enter Parts and begin the selection process. The exchange will occur automatically.
Use your D-Button to rotate items until you make your selection. Then press Button 1 or 2 to exit and your selection will be awarded automatically.

Destroy Blackhearts:

For every Blackheart, there's a specific destruction mode. And no matter how many times you're able to hit any one of them, they will not be defeated unless you make contact with their individual weakness.

Once you've located this key spot, you'll have to deal a certain number of bullets before the Blackheart disappears.
Now these weaknesses are top secret and not even Opa-Opa knows them for sure.

Know The Score:

Scoring is based on the points you earn when you destroy an enemy base, creature or Blackheart.

Now to destroy the enemies you must keep in mind the two categories. Some enemies are groups and some are individuals. To earn points and win their coins or currency you need to destroy all of them, whether it’s one body or ten.

Enemies like a base are capable of awarding a warp gate or money. It just depends when you destroy them what you'll earn.

The values for enemies are as follows:

Creatures: 100 points
Enemy Base: 1,000 points
Blackheart: 10,000 points

The monies they drop are worth:

Big Coins: 200 dollars
Bills: 500 dollars
Small Coins: 50 dollars

Hidden Shops

Hidden Shops are available to let you buy extra special parts and items to make winning possible.

They are located in rounds 3, 5 and 6. And here's how to discover them:

They are randomly placed in the scenes that compose the round. You need to rapidly fire your bullets into the scene with no apparent target to locate the Hidden Shop. It's like looking for a Black Hole.
When you've found it, you'll hear a beep and the bullets will start disappearing into this invisible hole. Keep shooting in this direction until the shop becomes visible.
Once inside you'll be offered a group of items and parts called "Other Unique Equipment." These parts can be life saving, so good luck.
