Now, players have the opportunity to relive the excitement as “Parasol Stars” triumphantly returns to modern platforms.
In this captivating platformer by TAITO, players embark on an adventure as two brothers. Their mission is to save neighboring planets from an evil menace.

These parasols not only serve as shields against enemy attacks but also have the ability to stun foes or unleash a torrent of high-scoring stars.
“Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III” is packed with power-ups that can make the difference between victory and defeat.
