They are hilarious. I love the music and strange set pieces!
Nice, I can't remember if it's on Virtual Console, maybe I'll get it someday.
Sadly not. There's loads of Parodius games, but most didn't make it out of Japan. Some didn't get any further than Europe (which was also true of Twinbee).
Ah shame, I guess I was thinking of Hudson's "Star Parodier."
