Z Sabre 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 the 20X6 version of Coach Z. A mysterious figure seen in Stinkoman 20X6's Level 5, 6, 7, -0 and 9 cutscenes and Twenty THANXty Six bears a strong resemblance to 20X6 Coach Z, and in Level 10 of Stinkoman 20X6 is ultimately revealed to be Z Sabre.
Like modern-day Coach Z, he has no visible mouth. However, he does have more expressive eyes, and even has eyebrows for the first time. Presuming that the Shadowy Figure is 20X6 Coach Z, his body seems to be much larger than normal Coach Z. However, in the Level -0 cutscenes, his arms are the same size as normal Coach Z, so he could be wearing armor or a cape, or sitting in a throne.
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.
