"Free the Wind Warrior trapped on this island before we make our move against Omegaton."
― Nimbus to Zephyr in the beginning of the level.[src]
Showdown with Omegaton! is the tenth and final level in Tornado Outbreak. Set in the center of Tokyo, the level revolves around Zephyr freeing the Wind Warriors trapped in a crystallized prison along with pummeling and stomping Omegaton's Orbs of power.
Plot[]
Arriving in the center of Tokyo, Zephyr, Nimbus, and the Wind Warriors face Omegaton in a final battle. Omegaton has achieved a devastating new level of power by merging his orbs with the absorbed Fire Flyers, making him completely immune to any regular attacks. The Wind Warriors who advanced ahead to stop the Omegaton have already fallen, now imprisoned in crystalized prisons. Adding to the danger, Nimbus warns that the energy emanating from Omegaton's belt is as lethal to Zephyr as direct sunlight, capable of destroying him on contact.
Despite the overwhelming odds, Zephyr forms a plan. He realizes that Omegaton's strength is concentrated in his orbs, the source of his power. The strategy is risky but straightforward: the Wind Warriors will create a diversion, drawing Omegaton's attention while Zephyr attempts to get close enough to attack. If successful, he can destroy the orbs and free the Fire Flyers in one decisive strike. It's an all-or-nothing gambit with slim chances of success, but with their allies captured and no alternative solutions available, it represents their only hope of stopping Omegaton and completing their mission.
Layout[]
Showdown With Omegaton is a boss-only level in which players rely heavily on Stone Stomping and Dashing. The level focuses on rescuing Wind Warriors trapped in crystal prisons scattered across the cityscape. Unlike other levels, there is no time limit, and instead of the typical Zone progression, Omegaton becomes increasingly powerful with each battle completed. Exclusive to this level is shade-dependent objects, which provide temporary cover from Sunspots. If these objects are destroyed, either by Omegaton's explosive fireballs, or by the size of Zephyr's tornado, the player will be exposed to the sunlight, losing a Wind Warrior protecting them.
During Battle Mode, in the placement of Totems, players attack specific parts of Omegaton's body that vary on the battle. In the first battle, players attack his shins, lower back in the second, and lastly, his chest region in the final battle. Once Omegaton is brought down, players are tasked with shattering Omegaton's orbs. The level concludes when all of Omegaton's six Orbs of power are destroyed.
