Finally, an arcade-perfect Konami shooter on the SNES! (I wouldn't really count Gradius III because it's not an exact port, but it plays a lot like a typical Gradius arcade game. Though I like how Gradius III SNES and Parodius Da! take some Gradius I cues.)

But yep, all the stages are there, now it's perfect! Though, it also does something the PC Engine version should've done... add an extra stage in between the ninth and tenth stages, this time being bathhouse-themed.

This game was released as "Parodius: Non-Sense Fantasy" in Europe. Yeah, it's got a different subtitle. No more legend to myth to laughter.

Yeah, this is another one of the easiest versions of the game. The arcade version gets so bullet-hell with me, so I'm glad I was able to manage through this game. In the end, my score was 705,400.

And of course, we got Omake mode. Like Special mode in the PCE version, you've got a bit long stage where you try to get as many points as possible. The Zub Rushes are easier when you got fully-optioned, but could be hell with just you alone. Though I do love it. And the ending is one of my favorites. I got 815,900 points in the end.
