History[]
In the year 6216, or 1422 in the arcade version, the Space Guild reveals the plans of the planet Menon, whose forces are stealing the other planets' currencies to fund a huge fortress in the Fantasy Zone. Opa-Opa is sent to the Menon system after they stole supplies from other systems. It is revealed that Opa-Opa's father, O-Papa, is the leader of Menon.
Fantasy Zone II[]
This time, it is figured out that Opa-Opa's bad side, Dark Opa-Opa, is the mastermind behind all of the Dark Menon Forces. Opa-Opa had split into two sides after the events of the battle 10 years ago (FZ 2 takes place 10 years after the first game). O-Papa only joined to stay with his son.
