Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, known as Anubis Zone of the Enders in Japan, is the second title in the Zone of the Enders series, originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2003 and later ported in remastered form to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Steam.
Vic Viper[]
The Vic Viper appears as one of the main LEVs in the game, being piloted by Leo Stenbuck, the protagonist of the first game. True to its name, the Vic Viper uses many of the traditional Gradius weapons and shields. When fighting the Vic Viper it slowly increases its OPTION count to multiply its firepower, and often uses the Missiles and Laser attack as well as the unexpected Ripple Laser.
Zoradius[]
Zoradius is an unlockable 3D remake of the original Gradius arcade video game found in Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. It can be found in the battle against Vic Viper, or by replaying the fight as an Extra mission, then pausing the game an entering a variation of the Konami Code. The minigame consists of a single stage played from the third person perspective, similar to Solar Assault.
