Z Sabre is Coach Z's 20X6 counterpart. He first appeared in the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu. If you pick up the green "Z" power pill, your ship turns into a Coach Z-styled fighter, and the game-describing avatar becomes Z Sabre. He is the primary antagonist of Stinkoman 20X6, appearing as a Shadowy Figure in cutscenes from Level 5 onward before revealing himself and acting as the penultimate boss in Level 10. He also appeares in Twenty THANXty Six, still cloaked in shadow.
Like modern-day Coach Z, he has no visible mouth, though he gains one in the ending cutscene of Stinkoman 20X6. However, he does have more expressive eyes, and even has eyebrows for the first time. He is roughly the same size as normal Coach Z, though his cape and pauldrons causing him to look much larger. Befitting his name, he also carries a long sword with a blade that forms a Z at its end.
Trivia
- Z Sabre is a reference to both Zero and Sigma from the Mega Man X series. His name comes from the former's signature weapon, while his appearance, role in the story, and fighting style are reminiscent of the latter.
- Z Sabre's red cape and pauldrons are a reference to M. Bison from the Street Fighter series.
