Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II

Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II is the continuation of the legend that continued to never become anything. Most people just call it Zoda's Revenge to differentiate it from StarTropics, its predecessor.

In this thrilling sequel which is actually worse than the first game, Dr. Jones gets stuck for so long on a kindergarten homework problem that his nephew, Mike Jones, falls into a book called the Oxford Wonder World and gets sent back in time. Mike receives psychic guidance from his alien waifu Mica while he goes on an epic journey to collect Tetrads, rescue a pizza, facilitate the defacement of one of the greatest artistic achievements in human history, and eventually save the world from Zoda.

Development
Zoda's Revenge came about because the first game had previously come about, and I guess they wanted to come about making a sequel, so they did that. This time they had some American members on the development team, and they successfully made the game more appealing to Americans (in theory) and also worse than the first one.

Gameplay
Just like in the first game, you move and jump and try not to die, but this time you can do it in eight directions instead of just four, and there are absolutely no yo-yos to be found.
