Super Air Zonk: Rockabilly-Paradise, released in Japan as CD Denjin: Rockabilly Tengoku (Japanese: PC原人シリーズ CD電人 ～ロカビリー天国～), is a horizontally scrolling shooter developed by Dual and published by Hudson Soft. It was released for the TurboGrafx-CD/TurboDuo in 1993, and was later made available on the Wii's Virtual Console on November 19, 2007, in North America, and on January 29, 2008, in Japan.
Super Air Zonk is the sequel to the 1992 game Air Zonk, both of which are part of the Bonk series. As a sequel, Super Air Zonk introduces all-new levels, assistants, and enemies, as well as a Red Book CD audio soundtrack featuring rockabilly music. While the original Air Zonk relied heavily on parallax scrolling, Super Air Zonk primarily features single-plane backgrounds.

Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the game a 5 out of 10, commenting that it features very little action or intensity and is far too easy. GamePro also found the game to be too easy but praised the controls, animation, and soundtrack. Additionally, it noted that with only a slow trickle of games being released for the Duo, owners of the console had little choice but to purchase the game.
