P A R O D I U S

To get me gassed up yesterday (7-30-98) to get an early birthday present of Sexy Parodius for the PlayStation, I decided to go through both Parodius and Very Important Parodius.

I'm Pentarou, just starting out this stage. The BGM is, I think it's called "The Hall of the mountain king"? Notice the zombie Pens in the lower right and the skeleton, which will toss his head!

It starts raining, so Pentarou powers up with an umbrella! See the heap of bones on the bottom? Beating it, and the other that'll toss its' head, will send bones flying in 3 or 5 directions above or below it.

I just wanted to take one of these because there's a skull of a Moai down there!

These sub-bosses remind me of the Big Alien from Nemesis for the Game Boy! Remember those bouncing things at the end of stage 4? These umbrellas with eye balls spin around and move about the area. It's best to shoot each one as it comes.

This is the leader of the stage when it's fully developed. In its' other phase, it's a cloud that chases you about. The geisha girl fades in, the cloud gets sucked into her skull, then it forms into the leader, producing blue flames like those from earlier in the level.
