Parodius Da! - auto demo - Super Famicom - 1992

This is Parodius Da!, a 1992 horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up video game produced by Konami for the Super Famicom console. It was also released in Europe for the PAL Super NES titled Parodius Non-Sense Fantasy. The gameplay is stylistically very similar to the Gradius series but the graphics and music are intentionally absurd. Choose from four spaceships: Vic Viper, Octopus, Twin Bee, and Pentarou.

This game can simply be played on the North American SNES:
1) by physical modification of the cart or the console
2) or you can get an adapter cart

This is one of my favourite SNES games. With this game, Konami redeemed themselves fully from the slow-down infested Gradius III. This game has tons of huge moving sprites and never slows down. A huge improvement.

I personally think the SNES version is even an improvement over the arcade version. Konami also released an excellent PC-Engine version, which is very faithful to the arcade version.

It's a huge shame it was never released in the US.

@porcorosso81 Thanks for your input. I really really love the Parodius games, so colorful and musical.

I loved this game when it came out. Been years since I've played it, but it's held up very well.

Still fun as ever.

one of the best shooter for the snes ... :-) the other parodius games are also very cool... aaah good times... the first and only shmup where you can fly under las vegas showgirls ^_^

At that time, I think it did not come out in the U.S. because of that scantily clad vegas showgirl. Not scantily by today's standards.

@Teraforce88 Gradius III was konami's first snes title, a lot of the early snes games had slowdown problems due to inexperience with the consoles slow processor... Gradius III is still my fav

This music brings me back to the good old times

For the longest time, I thought the Parodius series was Japan-only. It was only recently that I learned that at least some of the Parodius games were released in Europe.

What bothers me is this: If Parodius Da is supposed to be a parody of Gradius III, why is it programmed so much better (as in no slowdown)?? I would really like to see a slowdown-free version of Gradius III. Perhaps someone could hack Parodius Da and make it into Gradius III??
