Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner HD Edition

This is available under the "Extra Missions" menu at the title screen. You need to obtain close to all of the Ex Missions (I had 93% collected when this became available) in order to unlock this one.

Zoradius is located under the Vic Viper missions (and is the only mission for it ). The best way I can describe this mission is Starfox for the SNES - this mission is Vic Viper, in jet form, shooting enemies down a tunnel.

The key for victory here is to get every, and all, of your weapons ASAP. As you are flying through this tunnel you will see red orb-y looking things. This allow upgrades to be obtained. There are blue orb-y looking things as well - these will instantly destroy everything on the screen.

In terms of upgrades, get yourself the following fast:
- Option (2)
- Ripple
- Missile
- Laser

The laser replaces your standard square button attacks. The Ripple is activated by pressing the circle button, and missiles are activated via the X button. Some may consider it "cheating", but I just taped down all three buttons and raged through the level.

The Speed upgrades you can grab whenever, but honestly I found that too many had me flying all over the place. I found 3 - 4 to be the best maneuverability wise.

The "?" you should build up and save for the last enemy: a giant vehicle (looks like the train in the main game) that has a wicked arsenal on it. It was a pain to beat UNTIL I obtained the "?" upgrade. It is basically a shield that absorbs X amount of damage.
