In NEW YORK is the 3rd stage of Crazed Moneko. Previous stage: In LONDON. Next stage: In THE MOON.
Zombies and Angels share the stage, and the lineup also has to carry you through the Continuation stage that follows — pack no more than two anti-Zombie units.
- Ramen Cat is a strong meatshield against the many Angels; Shigong handles the periodic Zir Zeal and Zories when they burrow under your line.
- Can Can Cat is useful here and in THE MOON, so it earns its slot twice.
RAMEN CAT A Given the good amount of Angel enemies here, Ramen Cat makes for a good meatshield to stall out a good number of the threats. 
SHIGONG CAT A Shigong Cat can be used against the periodic Zir Zeal and Zories when they burrow underneath your defences. 
CAN CAN CAT A Can Can Cat is useful both here and in the next stage, so they're a good pick too. Zir Zeal, Zoge, Znache and Zory revive after dying — without a Zombie Killer they keep coming back. Bring one to end the loop.
