About
Parodius is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up developed and published by Konami. It is the home port of the arcade game Parodius Da! Shinwa kara Owarai e, a parody of the Gradius series. Players choose from a roster of characters and progress through stages filled with enemies, obstacles, and bosses. The game retains the series’ power-up system while adapting the visuals and performance for home consoles. It features a humorous tone, exaggerated designs, and references to other Konami titles.
