Parodius: Level 3

You're just in time for more of this!

Like all levels, we start IIIINNNN SPAAAAACE!!!


But eventually we get to this cool-looking castle kind of place. Cue the Tchaikovsky!


Ooo!!! This level is made of cake! It must be SOMEBODY'S BIRTHDAY!!!



Erm.... This is about to hurt. Load state!!


Ah. Here's the gimmick of the level. There's all this candy piled up and we have to shoot our way through it. It's kind of difficult.

Even though you only need a two-candy-wide path to go through, it pays to try to keep your path wider so you don't get penned in somewhere. Watch out for the jack-o-lanterns as they run by all "NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM."


We're through the big candy wall, but just because we're back to the cake doesn't mean we're done with candy.

The cake castle becomes a maze with the occasional candy pile to block you.

Oh yay! I got the megaphone! Save state!

Wait... maybe that was a bad...


Urrrrgh!!!!! The Engrish does not go through candy!

Ok, played through that whole section again and now we're out of the cake and the candy and on to... this weird temple looking place.

Here comes the boss!

Who more appropriate in a level made of Tork's birthday cake than all the munching mouths of the people who want to eat it?

They shoot teeth at you and it's annoying.


For some reason the music for this boss battle is that Can Can dance. It's weird, but oddly, it fits.

Eventually victory is mine and we zoom back into space!
