Overview by ININ Games:
Bubble dragons Bub and Bob are back in human form in Parasol Stars, the third installment of the Bubble Bobble series. Players join Bubby and Bobby on a mission to save neighboring planets using magical parasols filled with powers. Instead of bubbles, players can use the parasols to defend against enemies, stun them, and even throw them as projectiles. The game, released in 1991 as a sequel to Rainbow Islands, offers high-score chasers plenty of opportunities to collect items and climb the leaderboard. Special powers like bouncing energy balls and screen-clearing magic can be discovered through various pick-ups. Players can take on challenging levels solo or with a friend in the two-player cooperative mode, utilizing tactical teamwork. With addictive arcade-style gameplay, creative mechanics involving parasols, and an exciting cosmic journey across eight vibrant planets, Parasol Stars offers a retro gaming experience now available on modern consoles, complete with a catchy soundtrack to enhance the charm of this classic gem.
