Play Parodius Da! Online
Dodge flying sushi as a jetpack penguin in this absurd shoot 'em up—it's like Gradius got hit with a confetti cannon. The chaos never lets up, from bubble guns to disco ball bombs.
Konami released Parodius Da! for the Game Boy in 1990, a time when portable shooters were often simpler, scaled down affairs. It was part of a larger, wonderfully bizarre series that took the company's own Gradius formula and injected it with a heavy dose of cartoonish humor and outright strangeness, a stark contrast to the more serious sci-fi common on the platform.
You pilot one of several oddball characters, like a penguin in a jetpack or a transforming octopus, scrolling horizontally through levels packed with sentient sushi, dancing pandas, and other nonsensical enemies. Your main goal is to survive the relentless enemy patterns and defeat the screen filling bosses, all while collecting bells to power up your ship with options, lasers, and other familiar Gradius style weapons. The pacing is frantic, the difficulty is substantial, and the sheer unpredictability of the hazards demands constant attention. It feels like trying to win a food fight while someone keeps changing the rules.
