Ban-zooka Androoka

Ban-zooka Androoka is a platforming shoot-em-up game, developed and published by Z-Lunar. It was released in late 2009 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Nintendo Wii. It is considered part of the Lunaverse Canon.
Taking place on the remote Koruna Isles, the game follows Ban-zey, a former soldier of the tyrannous Androoka Empire who only rebelled because he wanted all the glory and treasure for his selfish self. Since then, he's lived a remote life on Kanron Island seeking treasure, which was disrupted when a ship from the Empire looted his hideout and all his hard-earned bounty. Enraged and with his trusty Ban-zooka in hand, Ban-zey sets out to regain his treasure and blow up anyone who gets in his way. What do you mean, defeat the evil empire? It's all about the cash!
==Story==
The game begins with Ban-zey relaxing in his treasure hoard in Kanron Crater, recounting his past as a Zook soldier. As he dozes off, an aircarrier passes over and drops multiple Zooks, which quickly pick up all they can carry and take it into the helicopter. Ban-zey wakes up, realising his treasure is gone. He's angry about this.
==Gameplay==
The game is a side-scrolling platformer, focusing on puzzles, platforming challenges and combat on each area. Instead of individual stages, the game takes place in a seamless world. The progression is mostly linear, but there is occasional backtracking and alternate routes to take. At his disposal, Ban-zey has many weapons that are unlocked across the course of the game that are used for a myriad of tasks. These weapons each have an ammo meter that will deplete when fired, but defeated enemies and crates will drop extra ammo when destroyed. Each weapon (with the exception of the regular Zook-Blaster) also has a special ability to aid Ban-zey, but some have longer cooldowns than others. 
Treasure can be found all across the game, adding to Ban-zey's coin count as he progresses. In each area, a unique Treasure can be found which will be added to Ban-zey's horde after giving a large coin bonus. Using his coins, Ban-zey can buy extra ammo, new weapons, and upgrades to his existing weapons.
==Major Characters==
===Allies + NPCs===
Ban-zey 	Once a Zook serving the Androoka Empire, he rebelled and left to further his own goals. He's now become a treasure hunter searching for riches and artifacts. He treasures his Ban-zooka and always keeps it close. The theft of his treasure hoard led him to conflict with the Empire once again.
Yep, that's me. Cool, aren't I? - Ban-zey
C0-0P3R 	An advanced supercomputer Ban-zey stole from the Androoka Empire. It wishes to learn "friendship". It can join Ban-zey on his adventure as a holographic clone if a second player joins.
Lonely. - Ban-zey
Scammer Z. 	An eccentric rouge salesman often found hiding in alleys. His products, or as he calls them, his "wares", range from useless gizmos to ancient artifacts and everything in between. I wouldn't trust him, but the alternative peddlers aren't much better. He also sells romantic comedies on DVD. Do not watch them.
I don't trust him, sorry. - Ban-zey
Navannad Veinn 	The esteemed weapon blacksmith of Fo'am Port. He has a penchant for smashing to-be-weapons, using hammers, wrenches, chairs, and even his own shark-like head. Despite this, all of his creations come out expertly crafted. The residents of the port don't question his methods, as long as the product is good. He's a fun guy to be around, but friends usually keep their distance while he's working on a project.
Yes! Build me more weapons! - Ban-zey
The Poffer Lord	That's me, a cloaked traveller who explores throughout the multiverse. My troop of Poffers have been scattered across the world after the Androoka Empire attacked Fo'am Port. I'll give Ban-zey special weapons found on my inter-dimensional travels in return for rescuing and finding Poffers.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This info journal was written by me. I hope Ban-zey takes care of it... - Poffer Lord
It's my book now! I do what I want! - Ban-zey
Queen Chapatica	The queen of the Chipipacha Plants and the guardian of the Bazzle Jungle. She's friendly, as long as you don't mess with the jungle's plantlife, but her home is currently being invaded by the Androoka Empire.
===Androoka Empire===
Nadi-gri 	The daughter of a high-ranking general in the Androoka Empire. Despite her meanness, she's an idol for many of the common Zook soldiers. Her hair naturally grows grenades, which she utilises in battle. Despite their rivalry, she often wishes to go rouge like Ban-zey did.
What a brat. You're not even a real general! - Ban-zey
General Fhro-kayt 	One of the four elite generals in the Androoka Empire, famous for his small size and huge ego. He fights using a pair of gigantic rocket launchers, raining explosions across the battlefield. His slick shades are said to be the strongest glasses in the known universe.
Yep, I'm THAT awesome. - General Fhrokayt
HOW DID YOU GET YOUR HANDS ON MY JOURNAL!? - Ban-zey
General Reck-aya 	One of the four elite generals in the Androoka Empire, an experienced pilot who controls her very own military-grade combat mech, nicknamed "T.A.B.S". Unlike the other generals, she's focused and straight-to-the-point, but can fall into a bloodthirsty rage when in the heat of combat.
Man, I wish I had a mech... - Ban-zey
General Pu-pumpi 	One of the four elite generals in the Androoka Empire, who holds a jolly attitude to hide his anger issues towards his troops. His preferred weapons are a pair of sawed-off shotguns, which he uses for his preferred combat strategy: Up-close and personal.
Man's never heard of aiming, has he? - Ban-zey
General Ziz-gri 	One of the four elite generals in the Androoka Empire, she's the highest ranking of the four, and answers directly to the emperor. She's also Nadi-gri's mother, and has to spend a lot of her time keeping watch on the little brat. She plans her moves in advance, calculating each attack with her powerful grenade launchers and mine-setting traps.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... - Ban-zey
Emperor Nokozo 	The mastermind behind the Androoka Empire, his goal is to take over the Koruna Isles, and from there, supposedly the entire world. His past and motivations are... completely unknown, but it seems like he's determined to track down and kill Ban-zey at all costs...
Quentin LustrumCharacter by SphealingBlue	A five-sided fiend with a penchant for extreme psychopathic violence. No idea how he got here, but he seems to have allied himself with the Androoka Empire in a bid to continue his killing streak. He roams around the map in random areas, dropping a ton of loot when defeated... if you can somehow win against him. Otherwise, get out of his way.
I'm, uh. Gonna sit this one out. - Ban-zey
==Weapons==
Zook-BlasterStandard-issue Firearm 	A basic, yet practical solar-powered blaster. It's given to every Androoka Soldier, due to its lightness and easy operation. Most weapons outshine it. This particular model has been customised by Ban-zey to suit his "style".The Zook-Blaster rapidly shoots small solar bullets, which can be aimed in eight directions. It has no special abilities.PROS: Quick firing speed, large ammo count, fast reload timeCONS: Low damage, no special abilities
Ban-zookaLord of Explosions 	Ban-zey's weapon of choice, a huge shell-firing bazooka. It may be slow, but it packs a punch. Ban-zey is very attached to it. Those who handle the Ban-zooka are advised to wear noise-protection.The Ban-zooka slowly fires large explosive shells, which can be aimed in eight directions. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Bazooka Jump, launching himself upward from the ground or in midair.PROS: Medium damage, explosive attackCONS: Slow firing speed, slow mobility
Fo'barrelShort-ranged Scattershot 	A double-barrelled shotgun crafted with wooden barrels, traditionally used by Fo'am Port pirates. It's strong, but not very sturdy. When bullets aren't available, pirates load it up with scrap or coins.The Scurvybarrel shoots a short-ranged spread of bullets, dealing high damage up close. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Barrel Roll, rolling forward and damaging enemies in his path.PROS: High damage, wide spreadCONS: Short range, slow firing speed
Twin Pop-O-PoppersThe Smoking Guns 	The go-to weapon of rouges of the town, a pair of quick-firing pistols. They seem to be modifed popcorn makers, but it still looks super cool when you do tricks with them.The Twin Pop-O-Poppers shoot rapid bursts of popcorn, with two guns meaning the weapon can be used on two targets at once. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Poppin Burst, scattering bullets around him.PROS: Double firing, quick firing speed, quick reload timeCONS: Low damage, low ammo
Damp SquibInkmobiliser 	A seemingly live species of the Squibicus, known for its blinding ink. It's been hooked up to a trigger. Can you, uh, call this a gun?The Damp Squib shoots heavy globs of ink that slow down and blind enemies when hit. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Squibble Shield, temporarily shielding himself in a bubble of dark ink.PROS: Large projectiles, enemy blindingCONS: Low damage, slow firing speed
BambazzlerNature's Rocket Launcher 	An organic weapon made from the Bambazzle plant, which grows naturally explosive stalks. The growth of these stalks are extremely rapid. The stalks are even edible, and surprisingly tasty. Just don't bite down too hard...The Bambazzler shoots rapid bamboo missiles. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Bamboo Rocket, temporarily soaring through the air like a paper airplane.PROS: High damage, quick firing speedCONS: Low ammo, long reload time
Su-Sun RifleFarm-style Shootin 	A straw-coated gun commonly used by farmers to drive away giant bugs. It's covered in soil, rain, and whatever unlucky things met its end to it. Maybe wash this before using it...The Su-Sun Rifle fires three bullets at a time in a burst. It has no special abilities.PROS: Medium damage, high ammoCONS: Low firing speed, no special abilities
Fyre-KrackerDragon's Fire 	A wooden tube decorated in ornate patterns, a traditional heirloom for the inhabitants of Kino Town. The inside is lined with the feathers of some firey creature, which rub against each other to create a burst of flame. The Fyre-Kracker fires heavy balls of fire that fly in an arc, bouncing along the ground and exploding into flames. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Flaming Dash, flying forward while surrounding himself in flames.PROS: High damage, flame effectCONS: Slow firing speed, low range
FlorupaffPollen Puffer 	A bouquet of exotic Illucant flowers, hooked up to a trigger. While enemies may appreciate the romantic gesture, they won't appreciate a burst of toxic pollen to the face. The Florupaff fires short-ranged bursts of pollen that leave a damaging poison effect on enemies. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Allergy Cure, using up all the weapon's ammo to heal himself.PROS: Medium damage, poison effectCONS: Low range, long reload time
Kana BowSecret Technique 	The secret weapon of Zoroka City, a modified crossbow that shoots katanas. While it gets the job done, it's a waste of expertly-crafted swords. The Kana Bow fires long-ranged katanas that pierce through enemies. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Zoroka Counter, reflecting enemy projectiles when timed right.PROS: High damage, piercing shotsCONS: Low ammo, slow firing speed
Scorca GauntletsHeavy-handed Approach	Two armoured fists that were supposed to be used for a mech suit of some sort. Through Androoka science, they can heat up to ridiculous degrees while the inside of the gauntlets remain cool. They'd probably be great oven mitts. The Scorca Gauntlets can perform firey punches and grabs, tossing enemies with super-strength. Using it, Ban-zey can break certain barriers and push heavy objects that he couldn't before. PROS: High damage, no ammoCONS: Low range, reduces movement speed
===Special Weapons===
CauterizerRip and Tear 	A flaming chainsaw-like weapon powered by, and I quote, the flames of hell. While it's not a gun, it has intense destructive potential up close. Seems to be too big for Ban-zey to hold effectively. The original owner's after me, so it's in your hands now.The Cauterizer is a melee weapon that can be swung in front of Ban-zey, leaving a trail of fire. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Giga Inferno, charging up and then sending a wave of fire.Unlocked after rescuing 10 Poffers or by having KillGames/KillGames 2 save data on the system.PROS: Strong melee damage, no ammoCONS: Low range, slow attack time
Desert EagleLight Sidearm	Popular in some faraway thief-filled town, this modified pistol shoots bullets made out of solidified light. ...you can't cast light magic, so it has to come pre-loaded in the gun. Don't ask where I get it from.The Desert Eagle is a weak rapidly-firing gun with unlimited ammo, which can pierce through enemies. Using it, Ban-zey can perform a Light Step, dodging enemy attacks with a trail of light.Unlocked after rescuing 20 Poffers or by having Light Strafer save data on the system.PROS: Piercing shots, no ammoCONS: Low damage
TrevorForbidden Fruit 	This is Quentin's weapon. It may seem like an ordinary pistol, but the bloodshed inflicted by it has given it increased power in this dimension. Quentin must be VERY unhappy to be missing his favourite gun. Once you've finished reading this, he'll probably be right behind you.Trevor fires slowly, but has the most powerful damage of any weapon, instantly defeating most enemies. The downside is that equipping it will immediately spawn Quentin a few rooms away, where he will pursue Ban-zey until he either leaves the area or is killed. Once Quentin catches Ban-zey, he will take Trevor away.Can be temporarily stolen from Quentin after defeating him, or unlocked permanently after defeating Quentin at the Secret Pola-yon Tower.PROS: Extremely powerful, precise aimingCONS: Low firing speed, QUENTIN
==Enemies==
Chipipacha Plant 	Large snapping plants that will feed off of anything that wanders near their jaws. Being immobile and blind, they're not that much of a threat. In fact, they're often kept as stylish (but dangerous) house plants.
The only thing you'll be chomping is my dust, punks! - Ban-zey
Zanred Sprig 	The living seeds of the Zanred Oak. They float in and divebomb from the sky, apparently wanting to grow inside the corpses of their targets. Not that they're actually strong enough to kill anyone, of course.
Find somewhere else to burrow! - Ban-zey
Mussie Canin 	These dog-like plants are often seen bounding across woods and grassy places. Friendly and trusting by nature, they only attack when threatened. In fact, they might be too friendly, as their efforts to play with passerby can often be unintentionally harmful...
...Okay, these guys are actually pretty cute... - Ban-zey
Daggo Hornet 	It's just a bee, right? ...why does it make me feel so... uncomfortable...?
Yo, screw that, look at that hornet's knife! - Ban-zey
Zook 	The common soldiers of the Androoka Empire, each equipped with a Zook-Blaster. They have no names or identities, as they are trained to be soldiers from birth. Despite this, they're all unique individuals, and many do not wish to fight. Ban-zey used to be one of them before he rebelled and escaped.
Yeah, and don't forget it, chumps! - Ban-zey
Para Zook 	Zooks trained in the art of parachuting from the sky. They work as ambush soldiers and can also act as military reinforcements if needed. Not to mention most of them are scared of heights...
I can see you coming from a mile away! - Ban-zey
Heavy Zook 	Zooks carrying heavy artillery, similar to Ban-zey's Ban-zooka. They may not be as stylish as Ban-zey, but their shell fire is as equally powerful.
COPYCATS! - Ban-zey
Sewer Globule 	A disgusting ball of sewer nastiness. How did it gain sentience? We may never know. Try not to touch it, but it's definitely going to want to touch you.
EW EW EW EW EW! - Ban-zey
Carved Block 	Seems like an inspirited stone. It's super sneaky... in fact, it's above you right now!
*gets crushed* - Ban-zey
Baby Trogator 	Spawn of the colossal Scelene Trogator. Despite their small size, they're every bit as vicious as their mother. It's advised to destroy them now before they grow up.
Alright, I don't exactly feel comfortable blowing up babies. I have standards. - Ban-zey
Chipipacha Spearman 	The Chipipachas serving under the queen have grown a more humanoid appearance. What an intresting evolution... I need to study their biology...
Uh, hello? They're trying to stab me? - Ban-zey
Chipipacha Archer 	Since they're still blind, they can't aim to save their lives, but give them a break.
This is just sad. - Ban-zey
Chipipacha Brute 	These Chipipachas seem to have increased strength, and greatly increased health. Don't let them give you workout advice.
This one DEFINITELY lifts! - Ban-zey
Zanred Tree 	Seems like these Sprigs are all grown up, having finally found a place of their own to root. They're ridiculously protective of their territory.
I liked them better as babies... - Ban-zey
Venus Chipipacha Plant	Probably rebels, judging by their refusal to evolve. Truly behind with the times, but they're still strong.
Hmm. - Ban-zey
Daggo Hive 	NO NO NO WHY ARE THERE MORE OF THEM
We can milk this joke for all it's worth, can't we? - Ban-zey
Mini-Waru 	Armed with sharp teeth and a bloodthirsty rage, DO NOT let it bite you. Reminds me of someone annoying.
Evil worms? Give me a break... - Ban-zey
Rocko-Fellows 	Small, servient golems still patrolling the Gakani Temple. Who are they waiting for...?
I'll put their service to the test! - Ban-zey
Arakovan 	They're giant spiders. No further description needed.
WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE SPIDERS!? - Ban-zey
==Bosses==
Nadi-gri #1 	In her first confrontation with Ban-zey, Nadigri hops across the arena, dropping grenades where she lands. She can also aim and throw a grenade directly at Ban-zey.
Scelene Trogator 	Gigantic and vicious, the sewer-dwelling monster will try and devour Ban-zey, and its skin is too thick to be pierced by most weapons. It spits out explosive balls that can be reflected back into its mouth.
General Fhro-kayt #1	Fhro-Kayt prefers to camp, firing missiles at Ban-zey from the edge of the arena. He can also rain rockets in a volley, making it difficult for Ban-zey to approach.
Gatekakano 	A gigantic ancient guardian living in the depths of the temple. It attempts to crush Ban-zey from the background, so its hands must be attacked to make it enter the fray. The glowing red crystals are its weak points.
Shrine-Keeper 	An angel-like spirit that guards the Un-ko Shrine. It will scatter energy bullets across the battlefield, moving quickly to evade attacks.
Hexag Beetlking 	The lord of the beetles will charge directly at Ban-zey, covered in tough armour that can only be damaged from behind. It can also call out to summon minions into the arena.
General Reck-aya #1 	Reck-aya will move slowly, trying to crush Ban-zey with T.A.B.S. She can also activate turrets, launch bombs, and do a high jump with a jetpack.
Sensei Kanabo 	Sworn master of the Zoroka Castle, he protects the island from any intruder. Using his skilful arts, he nimbly runs across the battlefield, attacking Ban-zey with his sword and using Nan-Jin tricks to disappear into smoke and create false duplicates of himself.
General Pu-pumpi #1 	Unleashing his dual shotguns, Pu-pumpi rushes straight for Ban-zey, opening fire when close to him. While fast, he's slow at turning, and can be outwitted by quick manoeuvres.
J-Aggronaut 	A colossal war machine designed by Reck-aya and piloted by 5 Zook troopers at once. It runs on pure fire, unleashing its built up power with flamethrower arms and fireballs raining from its exhaust.
Orebreaker Fystobia 	A mysterious woman who serves as a self-proclaimed guardian for the planet's core, attacking anyone who ventures too deep underground. She manipulates tides of lava to flood the battlefield while creating arcane projectiles from her planetary staff.
Nadi-gri #2 	In her rematch, Nadi-gri takes things up a notch - her grenade throwing skills have improved tenfold, and she's learned some dastardly bomb-jumping tricks...
Scammer Z. 	While Scammer's day job is just a humble ware-selling gig, he moonlights as a treasure hunter and business entrepreneur - only the former is working out so far. He'll throw all sorts of tricks at Ban-zey, as well as swinging at him with his trusty snow shovel (he insists you call him "The Zavalanche" while he does this)
General Ziz-gri 	Calculating the battle from afar, Ziz-gri lays a web of mines that Ban-zey must be careful not to trip - while she fires at him maniacally with her trusty grenade launcher!
Puff-Hummer 	Some jerk who tries to have his way on the highway. Not even an evil guy, he's just super in Ban-zey's way right now. Those Nyafish videos are just so freaking funny, they make him want to MERGE WITHOUT LOOKING!
General Reck-aya #2 	Reck-aya has increased the speed parameters on her automaton after her last embarrassing defeat. T.A.B.S. 2.0 boasts more durable plating, greater firepower, and an inbuilt stereo. She also only listens to country music.
Hi-Jock Eeeelmpera 	The benevolent leader of Neo Kirana, overtaken by the brainwashing influence of... whatever it is the empire uses to brainwash people! The eeeeeeeeeeelectric emperor will swim across the battlefield, sending a beautiful yet deadly crescendo of sparks and lightning shocks across the sky.
The Storm Eater 	A starfish-like being that lives in the ozone and consumes nothing but pure thunder - did this thing come from the ocean, or space? Whatever the deal is, it fires wave upon wave of electric beams from the sky, and can only be damaged when it opens its mouth to feed.
Quentin Lustrum 	Moving erratically, Quentin fires rapidly at Ban-zey, dodging shots with Slaughterer Stasis and occasionally turning invisible to approach. Defeating him will take expertise and quick reflexes, but great rewards.

==Torn Journal==
The Torn Journal is found rather early on in Ban-zey's quest, and can be restored by picking up the numerous pages scattered across the Koruna Isles. Unfortunately enough, none of the writing seems to be of any use to Ban-zey...
Page 1Found in Kanron Trail.Some sort of tourist brochure, containing a map of the Koruna Isles."Make your next tropical getaway royal with the Koruna Isles experience! For those looking for adventure, make your journey to the lush jungles and bustling commerce of Kanron, the summery fields and culture-rich castles of Illucant, the frigid yet vibrant oceans of Neokai, and the mysterious and beautiful ruins of Glanto. The crown jewels of the seas are at your fingertips with Tarr Resorts and Insurance."Disclaimer: Tarr Resorts and Insurance are not liable for any accidents or criminal activity occuring on your stay.

Page 2Found in Kanron Woods.Appears to be a page ripped out of a biology poster for kids, complete with diagrams."The lifecycle of the Zanred Oak, from sapling to full-grown tree, begins when the pipe-like protrusions on the parent tree's head splutter out a freshly germinated seed. From there, the species protects itself by crawling inside the body of another living creature and using it as a pot, remaining there until it outgrows its host. When you walk in the woods alone, always keep your mouth closed and ears covered."
Page 3Found in Fo'am Port.A fragment of a magazine interview."Trust me, it's not easy being Fo'am Port's No 1. rated sketchy salesman 5 years running, but I've always got the classics. Ammo, illicit substances, romcoms, you name it. I've even begun an inter-planetary newsletter where I share my tricks of the trade, complete with a starter kit of wares. Sure, there's only one subscriber, but success doesn't happen overnight."
Page 4Found in Fo'am Sewers.Some piece of a research paper, depicting a picture of a triangular fossil alongside a blurry photograph of the Scelene Trogator."Science is at a loss to explain the odd yet fascinating fossils dug up on the isles, all contorted in strange, geometrical ways. Some of these species are still living today, relatively unchanged from their triangular ancestors. Did all life start with less sides? It's a working theory."
Page 5Found in Bazzle Cliffside.A fragment of a magazine interview."My people have historically been weapon-making for as long as they could move their fins. We pioneered a special building technique that, to outsiders, is often mistaken for mindless smashing. My dad taught me everything I know - it was him who gave me the name 'Navannad Veinn', which translates to 'Glow of Marinekind' in the language of deep space. Pretty cool, huh?"
