Koitsu, Manual mode

Scintillating annotations:

Bullets can harmlessly pass through Koitsu's head and upper body and that part of the paper plane that sticks downward. Koitsu's legs and the wing's center are vulnerable.

At the first boss, I could've allowed more popcorn to spawn before collecting each purple bell. This would've generated a few more yellow bells at the risk of causing one to appear inside the ground, above the screen, or at the far left. In the best of cases, the bells would've been harder to manage due to being spaced farther apart.

Activating the "OH!" at the start of the second level makes the game easier than it'd otherwise be for a few minutes.

The third boss' swords can't hurt you while they're flying upward.

A red bell causes an icon of your ship to move forward a short distance before growing a vertical laser. You're completely safe while inside the icon or beam. A lot of players overlook the icon--it's incredibly useful since it confers invincibility the moment you expend a bell charge.

A fully powered spread shot covers a surprisingly large area behind Koitsu.

When the game is sufficiently angry at you, most enemies will generate two suicide bullets. The second will fire as soon as an enemy explosion dissipates. Most suicide bullets can be suppressed if you're close enough to their point of origin.

MAME doesn't properly emulate some of Sexy Parodius' graphics. Most notably, a background layer in mission six isn't displayed. You can see it at 20:30 of this phenomenal PCB run: http://www.mmcafe.com/nico.html#http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm99280
