Parodius was later included in Konami Antiques MSX Collection Vol.3 for PlayStation, Konami Antiques MSX Collection Ultra Pack for Sega Saturn and Parodius Portable for PlayStation Portable with enhanced graphics. Parodius was awarded Best Game that Never Came out in the U.S. As with Gradius, the game utilizes a similar selection-bar based power-up system. The game is composed of six stages consisting of various obstacles and enemies such as penguins and bees, as well as more traditional Gradius enemies such as moai. The player can play as either Tako, an octopus, the Penguin (father of Pentarou) from Antarctic Adventure and the exclusive MSX game Penguin Adventure, Goemon from the Ganbare Goemon series, the Popolon knight from the MSX game Knightmare or the Vic Viper spaceship from Gradius. The music is mostly taken from classical music pieces. However, the characters are replaced with silly characters taken from either these or other Konami games as well as Japanese culture. The gameplay is very similar to the Gradius games, with other aspects from games such as TwinBee.
