A classic that returns
Parasol Stars was originally released on the PC Engine in 1991. We are talking about the official sequel to Rainbow Islands, which was the sequel to Bubble Bobble. It was subsequently converted to the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, Nintendo Game Boy and NES, and was also made available for the Wii Virtual Console in 2008. The new re-release is however welcome, because it will give the opportunity to rediscover it even on more modern machines, without having to resort to emulators.
Let’s read the official description: “In this addictive platformer from TAITO, players follow the adventures of two brothers, Bubby and Bobby, who embark on a mission to save their planets from an evil threat. Instead of shooting bubbles, they are now armed with colorful, dazzling parasols with magical powers. These parasols are also used to protect yourself from enemy attacks, stun them or unleash a torrent of stars! Parasol Stars is full of power-ups that could mean the difference between a sweet victory and a crushing defeat! your enemies in the air, or freeze time with a clock. Don’t take it easy or Death will sneak up on you and steal one of your precious lives! !”
In addition to the digital versions, Parasols Stars will also be released in aphysical collector’s edition for PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch, edited by Strictly Limited Games. Reservations will begin on July 27th.
