Parodius da!: Shinwa kara Owarai he

About

Parodius da is a chaotic bullet-hell shooter where you pick from characters like Tako the Octopus and a penguin boy to fight alien threats. Each fighter has distinct shooting patterns and power-ups, adding variety to the hectic stage-clearing action. The game crams ten absurdly busy levels with enemies and cameos from Konami’s other games, all set to a goofy story about planetary salvation. The standout is its unhinged mix of difficulty and humor, tighten your seatbelt for relentless waves of foes while your octopus squirts ink. Multiplayer support lets friends join in the madness, though coordination is optional. A cult favorite among retro shoot ’em ups, it’s remembered for balancing punishing mechanics with cheeky charm.

Storyline

The Great Octopus has threatened Earth. To help Parodius save the planet, you and his friends must begin your search for the truth. As you search the whole world over you must find the enemy and you must destroy him.
