|genre = Horizontal scrolling shooter |modes = Single-player, multiplayer (alternating) }} , or referred to just ''Parodius'', is a scrolling shooter video game developed by Konami for the MSX computer and was released in Japan. The game is notable for being the first title in the ''Parodius'' series, although it is often confused with its sequel ''Parodius! From Myth to Laughter''. The name itself is a portmanteau of "Gradius" and "Parody" and, eponymously, the game is a parody of the ''Gradius'' series of space-based horizontally scrolling shooters. Many of the characters and enemies are derived from that famous shooter series, while other elements are extracted from other Konami titles, such as ''Antarctic Adventure'' and ''TwinBee''. This game is of particular note in the series as being heavily infused with Japanese culture and folklore. ==Gameplay== The gameplay is very similar to the ''Gradius'' games, with other aspects from games such as ''TwinBee''. However, the characters are replaced with silly characters taken from either these or other Konami games as well as Japanese culture. The music is mostly taken from classical music pieces. The player can play as either Takosuke, 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 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. As with ''Gradius'', the game utilizes a similar selection-bar based power-up system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parodius: The Octopus Saves the Earth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
