Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa is the sequel to Fantasy Zone , where you control Opa-Opa, a colourful ship with wings on its side. You must destroy large creatures in each world before moving on to the next.
The task becomes more difficult as small creatures start to appear, making it harder to progress. Destroying a large creature can reward you with dollars, which you can use at the shop to buy items and powerful weapons like laser beams, x-way shots, and big wings.
As you navigate through the worlds, you'll often find warp gates that allow you to skip levels or access new areas. However, one 'stop' sign warp gate will lead to a round boss fight, but only after defeating all large creatures in that world.
You can also walk on the ground to avoid approaching enemies and spend dollars at the shop to get new weapons, which have limited use.
