Sexy Parodius

The gameplay in Sexy Parodius is similar to the rest of the series, but with a new twist. Instead of simply playing through each level and destroying the enemies without getting hit, the player must also complete a specific mission for each level. Some of these missions range from collecting a certain number of coins in a level to destroying a specific object or enemy. Depending on whether the player completes the mission or not will determine whether he/she can continue to the next stage or what the next stage will be. Unlike the earlier versions, the home versions of the game (with the exception of the PSP version) have the cooperative multiplayer mode intact (where both players play at the same time). Also, if a player selects a character, the game will continue if they continue playing. In a 2-player game, if certain characters are close enough to each other, a third shot will appear between them. These can be purple shots that swirl across the screen, hearts that aim at enemies, or rockets that shoot straight ahead. This feature was first used in Konami's arcade game Trigon. The playable characters in this game are: Vic Viper/Lord British Michael/Gabriel Hikaru/Akane Ivan/Toby Mambo/Samba Koitsu/Aitsu Option/Multiple Shooting Star/Black Viper
