Playstation: Parodius 1-8 Players The progress is largely linearGameplay is very similar to the Gradius series, with a few differences. Parodius retains the selectability of different weapons configurations but implements via four different characters: Vic Viper (from Gradius), Octopus, Twin Bee, and Pentarou.

These bells act as one time power ups, allowing you to destroy every enemy on screen, fire huge beams of energy, etc.
