Fantastic Parodius! — Cherishing Old Glories

What is Fantastic Parodius!?

Fantastic Parodius!, or Gokujou Parodius, is a side-scrolling shooter that pays affectionate homage to the Gradius series. This arcade game debuted in 1994 with the promise of parodic violence, references, and odd gameplay mechanics. It is not fully localized into English but is playable online, entertaining old shoot-'em-up fans and challenging the new generation.

How to Play

A horizontally scrolling shooter game, you control a spaceship and fight waves of enemies. The objectives are to survive every stage while collecting power capsules, bells, and, eventually, to best the final boss. Following is a quick overview of the controls and mechanics:

• Movement: Move the ship with the arrow keys, left, right, up, and down.
• Shooting: Shoot with the spacebar.
• Power Capsules: Collect these to power your power meter, which opens up new weapons and abilities.
• Bells: Drop from enemies in the TwinBee series, letting you choose special abilities by shooting at them and changing their colors.

Tips and Tricks

• Manage your power meter: Ramp up your power meter when you can honing an offensive, but take care to avoid enemy fire while doing so.
• Experiment with the bells to discover which abilities best fit your style. Some might be good for defense, some for offense.
• Learn boss patterns: Each boss has unique patterns for attacking. Take time to learn them and plan your moves accordingly.
• Pick up everything: Power capsules and bells are vital for your survival, so try to collect every one.
