Hello Community - I really enjoy AirZonk - certainly in my Top 5 games for the TG/PCE -- my question is if there has ever been a thread or list posted about the most "optimized" friends list to use when selecting the manual option for the game -- I have played the game 100's - perhaps over a 1000 times since it was released in 1992 - I remember playing it dozens of times at the local Toy's R Us that had it running in the TG16 demo cabinet when it was first released -- but I digress................
My optimized list has changed somewhat over the years - but I feel my strongest "lineup" is as follows:
Stage 1 - MooMoo or Scud
Stage 2 - Power Dump
Stage 3 - Bob or Mumbles
Stage 4 - Bubblician
Stage 5 - Astra
I have yet to figure out best Stages to use Spike Lee, Ripp or Tojo
I would appreciate your thoughts and feedback - and thank you for your time and considerations - Ron

Have you ever tried going it alone?
Only a few time - I always assumed the 3-5 seconds of immortality you gain from the "friend" pick up was a strong bonus not to be overlooked when attacking the enemies on screen - I will be sure to give this option a more vetted play - Thanks for for thoughts - Ron

Have you ever tried going it alone? I find the benefits of leaving friends behind outweigh the loss of the "combined" power up thing.
Sounds like the DoxPhile mantra.

Here's my list from an old thread
1stage- tojo or dog(forget his name)
2stage- moo moo destroys everything fast..or dog is good
3stage- spike ree crab drop good for football bosses second form.
4stage- bubbleician
5stage- meh doesnt matter you only get a friend for short time
I feel like moo moo is the most powerful so I use him on 2 since he can destroy all that garbage.
who do you think is the best? :)

Mumble destroys the first boss, hands down. Takes like 2 hits & he's done.
I've always used Power Dump for the 2nd level.
Can't recall who I use for the 3rd level, either Tojo or Bubblician.
4th is Bob, destroys the boss.
5th I think I've always used either Spike Ree or Moo Moo.

loool

I like to mix it up in the other stages, but going alone is preferred for the last one, where the better weapons are more helpful.

ok - I have gotten the first 4 stages down cold - here are my "friends", scores and lives remaining after the level as of my last play this week:
Stage 1 - Toxy Land - Scud - 131,640 (5) [I also use Power Dump here with same success]
Stage 2 - Cyber City - MooMoo - 382,470 (6) [By Far My Most Powerful Friend]
Stage 3 - Rockin' Stadium - Tojo - 613,040 (7) [I also use Bubblican here with same success]
Stage 4 - Deep Blue - Bob - 989,410 (eight)
Stage 5 - Land of Drool - Astra - 1,866,000 (0) -- DID NOT FINISH - Made it to Final Boss Stage
Stage 5 - correct - I lost all 8 lives that were earned - this stage continues to own me - LOL -- I cannot navigate through the stage without losing lives at every section - so frustrating ... yet so fun!!! Such a great shooter --- oh well, I will keep on trying - any advice for 5th stage success is welcomed -
Best wishes -= Ron

Use Moo Moo in the last stage! No other budy compares. Powerful milk blast
