Gokujou Parodius Platform: Super Famicom Relased: 1994-Nov-25 Genre: Shoot'em Up / Action Developer: Konami

Konami's Gradius and space-shooter parody series continues with this second installment. Gameplay is similar to the Gradius series in that you control a ship that can move anywhere on the screen while the screen itself scrolls from left to right. Enemies appear in waves and destroying all the fighters in a single wave releases power-ups which may be used to choose your ships upgrade. The Upgrade bar too is lifted from Gradius, however each character has different names and functions for their upgrades.
