              three boss reminds me of some parties I've gone too, where all people 
              do is talk, talk, talk, yadda yadda yadda.......these blabbermouths 
              shoot dentures at you while moving left and right across the screen. 
              Imagine you're the floss....and do your job.  |

              four has an oriental theme...this one particular tree decides it 
              wants to just uproot and walk around. |

              five is like a pinball game. Sometimes when you get an option, your 
              bar scrolls through the powerups, and you have to hit the button 
              exactly on the one you want, or else you can get really messed up. 
              This can be very distracting at times, or get you a quick force-field. |

            You'll 
              recognize this boss, even though he takes the from of a pinball 
              machine with arms. |

            One 
              of the best features of Parodius is the voice-rather 
              than the computerish voice of Gradius III, you get a high pitched, 
              Mickey Mouse like "missile" or "speed-up".
