For a long time considered to be the best port of Parodius, the Super Famicom version is just about as close as you can get to arcade-perfect. The graphics are bright, the sound is wonderful, the action is full-screen (with a bit of slowdown) but the original parody Gradius game shines here in full form. Roughly on par with the PSX/Saturn versions, which omitted one level but added an additional secret level. Also contains an Omake level (like the PC Engine version.)
