Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II is a video game released only in North America in 1994. It was developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System as the sequel to the 1990 game, StarTropics. It is the second-to-last licensed game released on the NES (Wario's Woods being the last), and the final game developed by Nintendo exclusively for the NES (Wario's Woods having also been released for the Super NES), excluding re-releases and international distributions of others also by Nintendo.
It was released on the Wii Virtual Console on December 29, 2008 in North America and on July 10, 2009 in the PAL regions. It was released on the Wii U Virtual Console in Europe on September 3, 2015 and in Australia on September 4, 2015., North America in May 26, 2016.
Zoda's Revenge runs through nine chapters, although the first is story-only. Each chapter besides the first takes place in a different time and place and holds one or more bosses, multiple areas, many weapons, medicine, obstacles and puzzles. While the original StarTropics took place almost exclusively on a series of tropical islands, its sequel takes place in a variety of locales, such as a caveman era, Ancient Egypt, the Wild West, the Medieval Times, and England in old time periods.
During the game, Mike meets many important historical and fictional figures throughout his journey through time. These consist of Cleopatra, Merlin, Sherlock Holmes, Leonardo da Vinci and King Arthur, who help him to achieve his goal of finding the Tetrads (resembling Tetris pieces, and renamed "Blocks" in the Virtual Console release) and defeating Zoda's three clones.
