Played PSP compilation which is a port of the arcade version
Third in Parodius series. PSP compilation ports the arcade version of the game, with some licensing issues that caused two tracks to be changed. Eight characters with their own look and shot and bomb styles and upgrades. Less stages than the previous game but good quality in being both humorous, referencing other shooters, and adding different enemies and mechanics. Koitsu's bombs are well detailed with stick men parachuting off of the paper airplane and react differently based on the location or terrain that they land on, walking forward on ground, landing in an inflatable raft on water, dancing in the club, running in the faster moving race segment, etc.
Found some hit box detection questionable, but don't know how much of that was character related to playing as Koitsu.
