IDA-2

IDA-2 (アイダ・ツー Aida Tsū) is the boss of Pocarius in Fantasy Zone and Space Fantasy Zone. It is a snarling yellow-green, brick-like creature with green eyes. It is capable of splitting up and restructuring itself at will.

Fantasy Zone Strategy
IDA-2's main means of attack is splitting up into multiple segments, and attempting to reassemble on top of Opa-Opa. IDA-2 can do this quite quickly (and even quicker as its health lowers), so it is advisable to have upgraded your engine before entering the fight. The faster you can avoid the boss' attack, the better chance at survival you have. Keep in mind that the boss can only damage you when fully assembled, so running through its parts as it splits will not kill you. IDA-2 is vulnerable when it is in its complete form, so it is best to shoot when possible, then flee, rinse and repeat. Additionally, a well-timed Fire Bomb on the ground will take it out in one hit if it is fought in Pocarius and not Salfar.

Trivia

 * While IDA-2 does not return in Fantasy Zone II, a smaller enemy based on it known as IDA-Jr. (called "Bigmouth" in the US Master System manual) appears in the first stage.
 * IDA-2 is based off of the boss Shura from the SEGA-developed 1985 third-person rail shooter Space Harrier, as both are bosses that are blocky, grimacing faces. Furthermore, the name of the stage Shura is located in is known as "Ida", as is one of the enemies.
