This is a play-through of Enter Contest mode using Zuni in the Sega CD/Mega-CD game Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side. Read on below for more information...

Zuni is a hidden character in the game. He is an unlockable playable character, and is only available in the Enter Contest and Enter Duel modes.

I need to note that I used a special function within the game that lowers the opponent's life in the 2nd round of most of the matches. The reason for this is to cut the video time and size.

===== ZUNI'S STORY / BIO =====
Zuni is a circus performer monkey at the Blue Dragon circus from 1920 A.D.. One day, he noticed that a gas lamp had tipped over and started a fire near the edge of the circus tent. Amidst the flames, Zuni tried to cross over to his trainer but was killed by a circus elephant that accidentally stepped on him. The fire ended up breaking out of control and killed everyone within the tent.

===== ABOUT ZUNI =====
He is one of those really small characters that are hard to hit... and is probably the worst of the "animal" characters against the CPU opponents. On the upside he has an easy infinite combo in the corner, but setting it up can be difficult.

===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====

---- His stage background is the same as Jetta's.

---- He does not have a throw.

---- The game can also be known as Eternal Champions 2.

---- The developers had proposed a trilogy of the series, in which the 3rd game never happened.

---- It is the only official Sega Mega-CD game to use a 256 color palette system.

===== ABOUT ETERNAL CHAMPIONS CD =====
This is the sequel to the original Mega Drive game, Eternal Champions. The game features new characters (both regular and hidden) and a new end boss. It introduces three new methods of finishing moves, and comes with an all-new arranged soundtrack.

You could call this game series a "mix" of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat... it has a gameplay system similar to SF2 and aesthetically gory finishing moves like in MK. It's kind of like a "jack of all trades, master of none", as it isn't as good as SF2CE or Mortal Kombat II (at the time). Despite that, I do think that this is a very underrated game... the characters are drawn, coloured and animated very well for the Mega Drive and Mega-CD's standards, and some of the finishing moves are quite impressive.
