Arriving on the scene after Gradius 3, Parodius Da! was first released in the arcade (it's subtitle means "From Myth to Laughter", a play on Gradius 3's subtitle, "From Legend to Myth".) The full Japanese title is actually "Parodius Da!", which means something like "It's Parodius!", but most of the time is simply referred to as "Parodius". Featuring nine stages, you piloted one of four characters - Pentarou the penguin, Twinbee, the Vic Viper and Octopus (before they named his Takosuke.) You start off flying through a pirate ship level, and head through a circus, a graveyard, a casino and other bits of wacky places. While it's definitely a solid game, the later titles develop on the humor and some of the levels here are a bit on the dull side. This is the version found on the PSP collection.
The Super Famicom port is almost exactly the same as the arcade game. The SFC version has an exclusive level that takes place in a bathhouse. It also adds an omake mode (dubbed Lollipop in the European release) which is a time-attack bonus level.
