Zoradius is an unlockable 3D game based of the original Gradius game found in Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. It can be unlocked in the battle against Vic Viper, or by replaying the fight as an Extra mission, then pausing the game and entering a variation of the Konami Code.
Gameplay[]
The game plays from a third person view, similar to Solar Assault. The player uses the Vic Viper in fighter mode flying through a tunnel and shooting down couple of enemies from Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, some of them with patterns similars to those found in the Gradius series. Like in Gradius, some enemies will leave powerups, gathering them will increase the Viper's firepower and shields. Roughly halfway through the stage, the player has to fight through an area full of ring-shooting Moai heads, coming straight from the Gradius series. The game ends with a "Zub-like Rush" followed by a boss fight against the Train boss, from the main game.
Enemies[]
Enemies are mostly those found in Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (with the exception of the Moais), but some have exact patterns as the Gradius one, such as enemies based on the patterns of the Fans, Jumpers or Zubs.
Music[]
Music from this game are remixes of themes from Gradius, namely the first and third stage, and the "Aircraft Carrier" music.
Trivia[]
- Entering the Konami Code again in Zoradius while pausing the game gives the player full powerups.
